User account password

I currently do not have a password on my one and only user account. If I
add a password to that account, is there a way to remove it later?

Thank you

Re: User account password

Yes, in Users, type in the one you have and leave the now one blank. I
suggest you save your password as suggested in the left hand link.

Re: User account password

Yes, you can remove or change the password at any time.
You should also consider creating a password reset disk.
