    password help (reset?)

    Hello. I recently purchased an HP 2133-KX869AT 8.9-inch Mini-Note PC with SuSE on it. When I was first booting the system it forced me to create a password. I actually have to return the computer but am unsure how to remove the password completely. I have never used Linux before and the only thing I can find is how to actually change the pw, not completely remove it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You have to go into YAST then go to Security then Local Security Make sure that custom Settings is selected then click next Under minimum password length set the value to 0 then click next. Once you are finished in there you should be able to change your password to a blank password in the User and Group Management. *Note this is not a recommended practice, but you are returning the computer.

    Cheers,
    Tom
