*Commonly it is the first and larger partition on the list, if you have only one hard drive on your system.

7. At the next menu (User Edit Menu):
Type “1”: To Clear (set Blank) the selected account’s password. Other choices:
Type “2”: if you want to set a new password to the selected account.*
Notice*: I prefer to change an account’s password in Windows , after using option”1” to clear the previous password.
Type “3”: if you want to promote the selected account to Administrator. (Add to Administrator Group)
Type “4”: if you want to Enable the selected account or the hidden Administrator account (if it is disabled).
