Hi all,
I am not a strong mac user, although my windows knowledge is quite good. A friend of mine has come into possession of a macbook pro 2013 or 2014 not sure, running 10.9 and she asked if I could put windows on it, since she cannot handle mac either. Anyway, her dad used the mac for a while and has put a password on it. I can log in, but cannot use parts of bootcamp assistant as the password prompt comes up. He cannot recall the password. I have tried: 1. Going into recovery mode, terminal and using the "resetpassword" command. This has failed since vo says that it is launched in the background, but I cannot get to it in any way. 2. I have tried to remove the .applesetupdone file, as recommended by a few websites I googled, from /var/db. I did the following Diskutil mount and mounted S02 Changed to /volumes/Macintosh\ Hd/var/db And rm rf .applesetupdone This did not work and an ls of the /var/db directory showed no such file. So how can I get this mac to work? I will reinstall OSX if I can, but I have no startup DVD so no clue how to go about this.also no blank DVDs lol. I just need to get access to this thing and any assistance you can recommend would be amazing.
