I do have a greenhouse (only heat it in the early spring at night) and I ws like crazy too. My greenhouse is 10x18 and I'm always running out of room in there by May. I ws anything I can to leave room for the longer growing season annuals and veggies in the greenhouse. Of course, there are always some annuals and perennials I want to be sure I have so I'll start a few seeds in the greenhouse. It's only my second year ws'ing, but I did this last year and my ws'd plants did much better than my greenhouse started ones did (for most perennials). They are stronger and don't need the hardening off like greenhouse plants do. But I wouldn't give up my greenhouse for anything! It's the only thing keeping me "hanging on" lately with this bitterly cold spring :) Well, the greenhouse and the lights I have in the basement with seedlings under them too! HA I'm a seedling-a-holic.

When I go to Canada and visit my brother I usually want to check in on the Cooking Forum, so one year he made me a guest account on his main desktop PC. The next year I came to visit him he'd bought a new PC at a discount sale and installed it in his spare bedroom for me with webcam and all. How comfortable is that. Lucky for me he's a techie guy who loves electronic stuff. Wolf and I have our separate computers in different rooms and the last time our friend from Germany came to visit we took an extra cable from our router and strung it into the guest bedroom where he uses his own laptop. Sometimes we're e-mailing or Skyping each other from room to room to save us the trouble of getting up out of our chairs LOL. We don't want wireless in the house as we're in an urban area where anyone could connect to us from the street. SharonCb

Let's take a deep breath and start over. I think for whatever personal reasons you have you've blown this up into much more than it is. It's a "lost password for Gmail" access issue, not a Chromebook one. The Chromebook wants a Gmail address to reference your connection. Among the reasons why that's necessary is because Chromebook has limited onboard memory and MS Office-type docs - word processing, spreadsheets, notes, etc - use software from and are saved online in Google Docs, to an account tied to a Gmail account. You can work on such projects on any device, save it to your Google Docs account, and then access it from any other device, including the Chromebook. What sets your saved docs apart and limits access is that they key is your gmail account name and password. That tie-in gets set up as the Chromebook is set up. There are probably other reasons too. End your suffering by using a Gmail account you can access. Remember for this and all other accounts, use a system (whether on paper, using a password app, a text file, or whatever) that's always available to you and easily accessed so that you can find your passwords and update the list when you change one. There's no need to send Google a photo, nor to worry about consequences of a privacy invasion. I hope your other aborted efforts with Gmail accounts you've lost the password for haven't poisoned the well to prevent an easy setup of this Chromebook with a working account. If so, call Acer Tech Support to get it straightened out. Good luck.
