Step 1) Download a fresh copy of Linux Mint. I obtained my copy from the torrent link off of Mint's website.

Step 2) Install Linux Mint.

I did this in a hurry, so I used "oz" for everything (username, password, name of system). In my opinion, the 2 character password, should not have been allowed.

Step 3) After installing, use their GUI tool to update Mint.

Step 4) Reboot after updating.

Step 5) Using their "Users and groups" app, create a new administrator. You'll not be asked to enter a password or if you want to include one for the new user (I even shared a video in the thread here (see URL / quote ).

Step 6) Log out as 1st admin (for me that was, oz).

Step 7) Log in as 2nd admin (for me that was, oz2).

Step 8) Using the "Users and groups" tool, delete 1st admin.

Someone reported you may need to reboot, but you've got SUDO rights for now on. You can right click, and select open as root, without any prompts. You can open the terminal and run sudo, without any prompts. It's your universe now!
