Thirties Child

This may not be the place to ask for help with my I-phone but I need help. [View all]

I'm a Luddite who got her first computer -- a Tandy from Radio Shack -- in 1983. I even wrote a genealogy program for it. It was primitive, but it did its job until we got a CPM -- a Morrow and Roots in 1984. We were ahead of the curve for years. Mr. Thirties wrote a computer column, first for UPI and then for the AJC, which Cox syndicated. I reviewed something like 40 word processerors --at least it felt like 40 word processors -- and I never would have guessed that Word would come out on top. I loved Xywrite, hated to give it up when we had to go to DOS.

My sister, who is an anti-Luddite, gave me an I-phone, and I somehow gave it a password that I have to use whenever I want to use the phone. I HATE it, can't see that I need the password, want to know how to get rid of it. I have a virtual meeting with my doctor Wednesday, and would like to be password-less by then. So -- can any of you anti-Luddites tell me how to get rid of it.

Thanks and I'll send Sainthood points your way, assuming you want them and assuming I can do it.
