Kit67 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi all, I've got this strange new account on my log on page called "Other..." I can log into my account but I can't log into the "other" account. I've onlycreated one account which is under my name. Has my system been compromised or is it normal??? When go to system pref/ users....the account is not listed. Thank you all.

TimeWalker75a Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 There's a gues account in Users. Try to unlock the lock at the bottm and see if it's enabled or disabled.

Guest MrRogers Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 No, you haven't been hacked. That's an login option that appears when you enable the root user... but sometimes it will just appear. To remove that option from the loginwindow, Open Directory Utility located in Application » Utilities. You may have to unlock Directory Utility to make changes. Once it's unlocked, go to Edit » Disable Root User, and then type in a password for your root user. Hopefully, that will do the trick for you...
