The user is referencing as per below image ?


Can user ( you ) open the " Security & Private " Applet or the " Startup Disk " Applet ?




1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

No options given to try any other operation. When trying to open “passwords” icon in System Preferences received error message “Could not load Passwords preference pane.” There were no suggestions or options to go to to correct this error. Searching Apple Discussions has no solution either.
