Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the Master Password?  I don't know how I
did it, but every website I try and log onto that requires a username and
password, up pops another window asking me to input my Master Password!  This
is driving me crazy.

password to non-expiring so I have access privilege to do that.

it, i was wondering is there anyway to change the password to one i know?
Also the only other patch i have is a limited account! :(

I have done a free firewall scan and i was told that my incoming IP
address is known and i am vulnerable.  how can i change this?  Thanks
