I just bought a 17" MacBook Pro and downloaded the 'Lion' upgrade. When I try to install the new software, I am being asked to provide a
computer password. I have only had the notebook less than 8 hours and never set a password. Is there a generic password set by the factory?
How do I change it?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), This is a brand new notebook
A password is set in System Preferences using Accounts preferences.
Did you setup the computer yourself? If so you provided information in the Setup Assistant which included creating your account and password. Did you provide a password?

Did you try to leave it blank and click ok/next/enter?
You were spot on, Kappy. Totally forgot about setting up the account. Thanks for you help!
For donna102: So does this mean that you DID set up a password but just forgot that you'd done it? I'm having the same problem. I never set up a password and don't know how to now. What do I do now?
I'm trying to upgrade to Lion and its asking for a computer password. I never set a password for my notebook computer.
