Hell Group-
A friend gave me, what I think is a 20 in. iMac 6. It belonged to her
ex-boyfriend whom she does not talk to anymore. The administrative
password is in his name, so I can not authorize any updates to the system.
As result, I feel the computer is deteriorating and is able to do less and
less. (can't do Netflix,Youtube is barely functioning)
I did try to do the "secret code" that you see online that is supposed
to allow you to change the password. I've made several attempts at this
with no success.
My question is can I buy newer OSX system install disks. wipe the
whole thing clean and start over with my own new password? I guess the
biggest question is do you need the old password to be able to install a
newer version of the OS or am I completely screwed?
Thanks to anyone who can help with this problem.
