When I set up my user accounts in Zorin, my general user account had an 11 character password and the Admin account had a 12 character password. When I tried to update Zorin, it would not accept either of my passwords. It looks like both accounts have 4 character passwords. So, I can't update any software.
When I turn the computer on, it automatically logs into my user account.
Is there anyway to recover the passwords short of uninstalling and reinstalling Zorin?
Thanks for any help.
How did you arrive at this conclusion? 
I think for security it probably just shows 4 dots or itcs a graphics issue. It could be the result of a corrupt .Xauthority file. I covered this in how to resolve the login loop in the unofficial manual.

When I look at the login, it only shows 4 dots.
okay, thanks. I have a copy of the manual and will take a look at it.
It looks like I misdiagnosed my problem. It looks like my passwords are okay, I am having an issue installing an update. I will start a new topic for that issue.
