Hello,

I am a new user. I purchased a mini 9 for my niece and she forgot her password. Does anyone know how to reset a lost password? Thanks):P

THANK YOU so much! I will try that.

The only issue with this is that you don't change the password on your keyring - which means things like wireless passwords will have to be re-entered.

You might have to delete the default keyring and start over.

Not a huge deal but be mindful of it.
