    Daughter does not remember her password. Probably not her ID either. Have you ever used Apple's Recovery Mode? If so did it work as advertised?

      That's a typical Windows problem. Get a Mac!

        @mik Recovery mode allows you to restart the computer using the internet as a boot device (or the hidden partition on her hard drive). If she has an Apple ID, she should be able to get a password reset and/or a username reset from Apple.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
