Apple has said it is working to fix a serious bug within its Mac operating system.
The flaw in MacOS High Sierra - the most recent version - makes it possible to gain entry to the machine without a password, and also have access to powerful administrator rights.
โWe are working on a software update to address this issue,โ Apple said in a statement.

Also made news on Cnet....Apparently you just have to type in the word Root to gain access. Rather ironic really...

My sons partner works in the IT dept of her local school. They use these devices.
They have had limited usage all day as a precaution...
