Remove

I am trying to remove 04. When I run Remove, all goes ok until it tells me I don't have Admin Permission. I am the only user. I have permission. Any ideas and advice?

Disconnect your external drives and try again.

Chances are, it's trying to remove the software from one of them and you do
have the wrong permissions.

Also: Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions on the boot drive, then do a
power-off shut-down and restart to make the new permissions take hold.

One of those should fix it.

Otherwise, you need to log in as "Administrator". If you have never logged
in as Administrator before, the account should be disabled and the password
blank. Make sure you set a password

Cheers

And be sure to remember it or write it down until you remember it.

Thank YOU Phillip!!

Yes: If you SET the Administrator's Password, the ONLY way to break in
after you forget it is to reformat the hard drive. You lose everything
including the data...
