Thank you, Tom, That's fixed it. It was my old password that was still
in place, and it never got changed when I had to change it... my ISP
accused me of multiple logins and closed me down! What I was doing was
unplugging my wireless broadband cable and re-inserting the plug in my
notebook PC. This misled my ISP!
I guess you're right that the password is so easily accessible. It
doesn't worry me particularly, as my computer is accessible to me only,
by and large.
Regards and thanks again.
