Hi,

Without quite understanding why or what would happen, at Apple's request I typed in my User ID thinking it would be a one-time thing, but now it's become my Apple ID.

So now, when I try to log into Apple using my Apple ID, it doesn't ask for my Apple ID password, it asks for my User ID.

Why does it want my user id? That's how I keep things private. I want only me to have access to my computer, not Apple and I.

How do I change back to where only I, and not Apple and I, have total access to my computer?
