Hi all,
My sister installed Jaguar on her Wallstreet last night, and she managed not to provide a password during the installation. Now she's trying to install software, and it's asking for the admin password. She says it won't let her leave the password field blank.
Is there any way to reset the password, or will she have to reinstall OS X?
I'm out of my element here, as I'm just getting started w/ OS X myself. I suggested tying the Users panel in System Preferences, or trying passwd in the terminal, but I don't know if either will allow her to set a new password.
Boot off of the install disk and you can set/change the password..... -- Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1st/pci-powermacs list nanny
