   I got this.  I had added myself to the "users" group.   
      
   Otherwise, I agree with BitTwister.   
      
   A bit OT, but my user password is as I create during setup, but when I go   
   into MCC to add myself to groups, it has only 4 characters.  Rather than   
   set it to that when I exit, I type it in again.
