Strange that in the Install Routine for Mint it is possible to skip supplying a 'Real Name'/'Full Name' information but once the system is installed and you want to create a new account you must supply a 'Real Name'/'Full Name' at the point of time of creating the new account (but you can later delete 'Real Name'/'Full Name' if you want). However, as far as permissions are concerned, I needed to reboot the machine for this change to come into effect. I just tested this using a new account just created (were supplying a 'Real Name'/'Full Name' is mandatory) and found that I was indeed able to delete the 'Real Name'/'Full Name' from that new account. However, the routine you are talking about was via (Start) Menu > Preferences > Account details. I was talking about creating a new account via (Start) Menu > Administration > Users and Groups In that routine giving a 'Real Name'/'Full Name' seems to be mandatory. Okay, Cosmo - thanks for that, though it had me scratching my head for a while. wrote:Radish, I did that as I described it: In the account settings (Cinnamon).

Did you use a command at the terminal? How did you do this?Ĭosmo.

If you don’t have access to your email, you can also reset your password from the Linux Mint Recovery Mode. This will allow you to reset your password using your email address. So now I'm kind of wondering, Cosmo, how you managed to create a user account without supplying 'Real Name'/'Full Name' information. One way is to use the Forgot Password feature on the login screen. If I try to skip that then the 'Add' button always stays greyed-out - so can't do it. However, when doing some experimenting with adding a new user to the system via the 'Users and Groups' dialogue I did notice that the dialogue will not allow me to create a new user without supplying information for the 'Full Name'/'Real Name'. Thus far I have never run into any problem connected with this (am I just waiting for a catastrophe to happen?). On all the installs of Mint that I have done, during the install routine I have never supplied any input for the 'Real Name'/'Full Name' information - only providing information for the User Name. At the first glimpse it seems to qork, but I am not sure, if this might lead to any trouble at a certain situation. wrote:I did quick test (on a virtual machine, so nothing serious to loose) and found, that you could replace your real name with a zero input.
