3. Downloaded a few more library books after creating the new password. Digital Editions still worked fine.

Based on my test, Digital Editions was not effected by a password change. My computer was already "authorized" for Digital Editions and remained authorized.

I'm guessing that I probably could not have authorized a new computer with my old password.
What I am wondering is can't they (hackers) get your computer information since Adobe has to authorize each and every computer? Who really knows what hackers can get.

The last time I had a computer authorized Adobe had no way to delete old computers and you can only authorize so many computers. Not good.
