OK finish up the solution by telling the rest of us where the "mixer panel" is

Ran into a similar problem the other day at the home office--fiddling around waiting for new software to install, I had changed my desktop's manual shutdown button to put the computer in standby instead of shutting down the system. But I'd forgotten that the administrator had let me use his username while installing the new software and I didn't have his password, so when the computer went to standby it locked up and wouldn't even let me log in again under my own username! I sheepishly called the admin back to get him to put his password in again...and to make things worse, by the time he got there I'd realized that I could pull out the plug and solve the login problem.

Luckily, I had a few other issues that needed admin access to resolve, so he didn't rag on me for it--heck, after he saw I'd set up Firefox, he called his boss and they even gave me admin permissions so I don't have to bug `em any more, I can do all the installation and customization I want! But I feel for you, cause I hate being the guy that tech support hates, too.

Save, having never seen that problem I am sure I would have made more work for myself just as you did.. Glad to see someone here could have helped you..
