my husband changed his password on his user and now can't remember
it. He's set up as admin. My user is also set as admin but my
password won't let me in anymore.
How to we find out his password? He thinks he typed in something in
incorrectly but no matter what we try it won't come up. This also
means I can do any software updates even from my admin user.
Boot from your Leopard install DVD and use the change password
utility to change both passwords, then exit the DVD and reboot
normally.
It's as easy as that.
Well, now I'm really stuck. My Leopard install DVD won't boot up in my
CD/DVD reader. I have an external DVD reader that will show the
Leopard disk but I can't seem to get the disk to be the boot disk.
I just tried my original OSX Panther disk too. It will show up in my
tower drive but I can't seem to get it to act as the boot up disk. I
hate these stupid passwords.
