...photoshop wants password for pdf's???...
...I recently loaded a couple of discs that came with my nikon and canon cameras...on my Gateway 64 bit windows vista 3G ram available desktop...
...when I try to access them, I get my old adobe photoshop5 asking me for a password...???...I never did set a password for it, so I'm unable to access the info on the discs...is no "forgot password" option...and why/how photoshop?...
...this has only started to happen within the last few months...I don't remember changing any settings...have done several system restores...nada, nothing...
...is there a workaround for this?...
...sorry, never went to computer 101...

...yeah, I have my own other issues with adobe flash player consistently crashing...
...problem is, why is photoshop trying to open a pdf?...shouldn't something like adobe reader be the one?...and if so, how do I get it to do so?...
...wasn't there someplace where you could choose what program opens music, images, word files, etc?...

what are the discs for? and how are you accessing? are you going in as administrator? that might be the password they want

...the discs are camera utilities such as imaging and printing software... and user's guides...I'm notorious for losing/misplacing the hard copies...
...never quite got the administrator thing either...figured that if I'm the one at the keyboard of my own computer then I am the administrator...or maybe the tech guy at geek squad is...
...I never did set password as far as I know...

...ah ha!...update!...
...I just found that if I right click on the desktop icon, it gives a choice...
...I can now open with adobe reader to read the manuals...hurray!...
...hey, what can I say?...I drove a tractor, baled hay, raised chickens and herded cows...life was good...
...then computers came along and mucked everything up...
...thanks...

ok this is an oh-oh moment....
...never quite got the administrator thing either...figured that if I'm the one at the keyboard of my own computer then I am the administrator...or maybe the tech guy at geek squad is...
if that means you only have one account and it is the administrative account, you got troubles....
for years i have been saying all computers should come with big f'ing instructions in red that tell the new owner that the first thing they need to do is set up two accounts...
1) an administrative account...this is the one that lets you install programs, alter settings and do various other dodgey actions that can result in your computer becoming a doorstop if done wrong. it should be access by password only so no one else can use it to muck things up....and that includes hackers that can infiltrate your computer as you are blissfully surfing sports illustrated - the bikini edition and, with no password, they can install keyloggers, spyware, remote camera programs, screenshot programs, zombie computer software...and on and on....and you thought a password was trouble?
2) a user account..or several if other people use that computer too..you can use them with or without passwords as you like...these are accounts that can be used and enjoyed but have limited abilities to alter anything. thus if you get hacked while online as a user, it is much less likely that the bad guys can get anything installed since they would then have to get into your administrative account too and with a password, it would be even harder...thus they go on to try to hack pother computers from people who don't bother with two accounts and passwords..
