If someone else has logged in under your passport then you have a security problem. I would change my password if'n I wuz you. If you can't login, and someone else has been doing so then maybe they changed your password while they had access. If you "set everything correctly" then there's no other reason why it shouldn't work.

Sorry, I should have been clearer there, I got my cousin to log in for me to see if the accoutns working & it is, I just can't get connected on my iMac.
You're right, there is no reason why it shouldn't work, it's got me puzzled But I really need it to communicate with relatives o/s. I was hoping someone else may have had the same problem & fixed it.
