Cannot change my Password Hint... help...

For security reasons, I needed to change my password to my user account. I was able to change the password with no problems, however I am NOT able to change the Password Hint. It remains greyed out and cannot be tabbed to or selected. I am the admin user on my computer.



Does anyone know why I can't put down a new hint to reflect my new password? It's kind of important as I change passwords often and use the hints to remind me, from time to time.



Help.



Sorry if this is a newbie question...

    Use NetInfo Manager. It should work. Just be careful to edit only the hint.

    Try in the "my account" pref pane. That works for me.

    Thank you costique! Just after reading your post, a friend referred me to an Apple Knowledge Base article that detailed how to change it via the NetInfo Manager. It worked fine.



    I really appreciate your help!
