The first time I tried, it didn’t work- and then the second time I saw that I was looking for the dialogue box BELOW my selection instead of where it is- ABOVE- where I select which user should be «unlocked»-
AND- I have to say- couldn’t finding this function be a bit simpler? I tried to find it on all my settings- maybe it was shown to me, but it wasn’t obvious as I mentioned above, but I recall doing this before- I thought I found it more easily then (before my update)
thanks for the help Isha Soni
