Troubleshooting

I Can't Log In on a User Account

When I try to log in under a particular user account, the login dialog box shudders and I can't log in.

The most likely cause of this error is that you are entering the user account information incorrectly. If you are selecting a user account from the list, you must be entering the password incorrectly. If you are entering both the account name and password, you have to make sure that you use the correct combination. Try entering the information again. Remember that both name and password are case sensitive.

If you are logging in using the short name, try using the full name instead.

If you are still not able to log in under that account, log in as the Administrator and open the Users pane of the System Preferences utility to check the account or edit it. You can also delete the account and "start over."

The Buttons in the Accounts Pane Are Inactive

When I open the Accounts pane of the System Preferences utility, the buttons are all inactive.

The Lock icon in the lower-left corner of the window enables you to lock or unlock the ability to make global system changes. If this icon is in the "locked" mode, you need to authenticate yourself as the Administrator (even if you are logged in under that account). Click the Lock icon, enter the Administrator User Name and Password in the Authentication dialog box, and press Return. If you enter valid information, the buttons will become active and you will be able to make changes to the account configurations.
