Thanks, Jan.  I read the comments and spent a couple of days trying to 
do it without editing the conf.php file.  I edited the conf.php file as 
last result to see if it made any difference.

As I mentioned, I kept the backup and will restore the conf.php file to 
it's default.

I would appreciate it if you can tell me how to remove the user's 
identities so that the defaults will be the say I have it set in the 
backends.php configuration... if that is right.

I really appreciate your input.
