Hello Steve: pls excuse the delay in replying, but my son was not
immediately available to set up the "test" user Account. Well, finally we got
through with the matching User and Password Account - no more error messages
in logging in.

Your tips and expert guidance is very much appreciated Steve: "thank you!"
Now that the Network is accessible, perhaps I can continue to try and
eliminate the login error from my main User Account.

Best Wishes
Poltonis
