Ron, Is there and Apple Store near you? They can enable another master user account and you can migrate your information to it. That seems to be a good solution.

You could try using a mac os install disk, and use the reset password utility. If you are locked out of the firmware, then you can reset the PRAM by holding command+option+p+r simutaniously during the chime until it chimes 3 times.

You might try and enter "root" as your user name and then the password you think it is. Give it a try

and if it works go to Accounts in the " system preferences" and verify your user names.

good luck
