For example, here are the instructions for resetting the admin password WITHOUT the disc: <http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/ > As soon as she reads this, you're done. Unless you set a firmware password, and then, she can open the case, pull the PRAM battery, and she's in. You'd need to physically secure the case. Even then, there's probably some way in, I just don't know the easy way, but I'd bet any smart high school kid with Macs does. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
