[Ti] Protecting your Data

[Kynan Shook]

Yes, I know this...  It also involves saving the password in the 
keychain and having the keychain automatically unlock at login; so, you 
reset the main user password, and at the next login, all the user's 
data is automatically unlocked and decrypted with a *different* main 
password.  You might also have access to the encryption password by 
opening the Keychain Access application.  I believe it will confirm 
your keychain password most of the time before allowing you to view a 
password (even if the keychain is unlocked), but if the user looked up 
the password before and pressed the "always allow" button when doing 
so, Keychain Access will show anybody the password as long as the 
keychain is unlocked.
