Need to reset password or passphrase
I acquired a PPC G3 recently, and when trying to upgrade the OS to 10.2.8 (from 10.2), the system asks for a password or phrase. I called the previous owner, whose name stilla ppears on the box, but he could not remember what to enter. He made a couple of suggestions, but neither works. Is there some way to get inside to reset or bypass the password? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

If you insert the install CD/DVD containing the OS into the optical drive, then start up your mac while holding down the C key, your mac will start up from the install disk and you can install the new OS without the password.
