Thank you very much for your help! Today I have to play hooky because I'm too short of sleep to look at your posts carefully and respond carefully, too. I beg your collective pardon!

Sorry to say that there is NO Password Manager to be found in Administration. Don't know why I'm typing in Bold. Sorry, dunno how to fix this. I'm not at all familiar with Chrome, I don't know if Spell-Correction is chosen. After a quick look I don't see the option. Also, my password is good...

Daniel~, some help in "screenshotting" in Mint would be MOST appreciated, please.

Thank you for your patience and assistance, ThundrRd! .local/share/keyrings reveals the two "weird files" (010011011001's) I just posted about. Sorry if I misplaced a "." there or here. The two small "weird files" files revealed came after "login .keyring" and "user .keystore." Wunnerful, the...

I can't find /Passwords/Login Manager in Nemo. I think I found it before but this File Manager isn't very flexible for me at times. Typing Alt+F2 and trying to enter something after opening something with the first iteration of Alt+F2 can get you one frozen computer. It would be nice if Nemo...

Alt+F2 followed by "nemo" makes a nice largish vertical new box appear, "file system" is underlined in the left hand column. "Home" appears at the top of this left hand column. My first name-second name en claire. Nice. But no mention of "nemo" to be seen. So is "nemo" another magic thing seen...

Please believe me that I typed in the ENTIRE command!! AS directed by ThunderRd. The output of no such this, and no such that was from the complete command line argument as given to me by the fantastically patient and helpful ThunderRd. I have no file manager listed in my Mint logo menus...

New New New NEW New New I have a problem with how I'm ID'd by my system. My real name is given in "shorthand" as well as full name. This makes cutting and pasting undesirable. My friend Mr C may have screwed this up, possibly.

Mighty good point there, Gizmo!

I included the ".local share" in both commands AS directed.

"No such file or directory for gnome/keyrings," and "No such file or directory for /.local/share keyrings." (I typed in the whole lines as directed.) Thanks everyone!

Thank you all very much for your time and effort on my behalf! Embarrassing but true, I don't remember what I was trying to do with "sudo." I apologize! I have the automatic login to Mint feature, which I don't like. I don't know how the having to enter password to boot feature was de-selected...

Thank you for your help, Gizmo! Candidly, I'm a-scared to enter my password and choose "Unlock." What if I lock myself out?

Eep. I surely don't intend to!

Maybe this will help? After I close Chrome I get a window with "Unlocking Login Keyring" above it. In the window I see: "The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer." Then there is a box to type in "Password:" Right underneath that are two mini-box choices...

Thanks for the assistance! Can't figure out how to cut and paste the terminal window. After typing su then ENTER it asks for password. Typed it in and hit ENTER: "contracted first and last name then first name-last name #" is the reply. "Contracted" means shortened name in this case. Thank you!

OK. I get "groups my first name-second name adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare." Then the prompt returns as "firstname-secondname contraction of first and second name ~$" Thank you very much for your help, ThunderRd!

Very shortly after installing Mint the machine asked for no password during boot. I didn't like it but have no idea how to make it ask for my one and only known password to be able to boot. At this point I'm afraid to find out what happens if I try to lock the screen. Thank you very much for...

And succeed very well! Thank guys!

My "shorthand" name is given on the command line, I type in my password--it isn't accepted. I'm typing in the right password and it worked a few days ago. Argh, I think I'm in trouble here. It seems to want a different password? But there isn't one ttbmk.
