#daysofwork

Technically this is my third day of work.  However I want to journal my victories every day at work so I will record them here.  I will also record various prayer request.  As well as stories, life advice, and a unofficial count of the renders I produce in premiere, photoshop, after effects, and like programs on my new job.

On day one I ran into an error with the macbook pro I received.  For various reasons I was not able to wipe it, so I attempted to change the username and password.  Well I did not restart the computer immediately (the way you are supposed to).  It created a wild error with two mixed profiles and neither password working.  On day one I had already received a project and I needed to export it.  Now prior versions on macbook pros had optical drives, and to reset the password you needed the system disk.  This one did not.  I found directions on line that worked quite well:

The cool thing is that this method does not affect the keychain passwords!
