Well, I'm not gonna do a re-install just to find which step it is(grin).

But on this machine I click the green L (start button?), select
Settings, select User Manager, give it the root password, select User,
select Add.

To see if it took, select the green L, select Logoff/Quick Restart, when
it gets to the login screen select new user, enter password (if used),
click OK.

'Course then you gotta reinstall all yer programs unless you know how
to give new user rights to use the other users programs.

I like it.
