    thanks for the info...he finally remembered....he knew his password, but for some freakin insane reason he added a capital X for os X at the end of his password.....forgeting the age old maxim: KISS (keep it simple stupid, not kids in satanic service).....g

    Next time, tell him it can't be fixed and he'll just have to live with it.
