I have two questions...

I'm hope i'm not out of line asking two questions inside the same post - but here goes...

1. What do you do if you cant remeber your computers password. I think it's the one when you first set up the computer??

2. I'm trying to back up my entire families digital 'stuff' onto one big external drive that is connected to the network (very cool!). We have external drives and memory sticks building up like flies. Gotta get everything in one place!! That's the plan.

The computer (or drive) doesn't seem to want to drop and drag. As a consequence I'm creating an empty folder on the desktop of my laptop (imac white), copying all the files across, then copying them out of the new folder across to the networked drive.

Apart from being a pain in the bum, i've just run into a new hurdle. I'm now told i don't have the disk space on my lap top to hold the info prior to sending the files across to the networked drive.

There must be a way to send the files from a plugged in external drive straight to the networked drive (2TB) without having to go through my lap top.

If I have to do it bit by bit i know i'll confuse myself, and that could be potentialy very costly.

thanks for listening...any answers?
