Let's say that your login name is bmike log out of all sessions if you log in via GDM (graphic user interface login) press Control-Alt-F2 to get a text based virtual console log in as root with root password Then assuming that your login name is bmike and your $HOME directory is /home/bmike... chown bmike.bmike /home/bmike -R (this makes you the owner of all files and folders in your home directory) log out Press Alt-F7 you are back to your gui login and login as normal Craig
