Re: Software Update Problems - Please help
If you did not set a password, you should just be able to press enter at this prompt and the install should continue. On Apr 3, 2009, at 3:34 PM, rayna424 wrote: Hi Guys.

Hi Guys. I keep getting a message that software updates are available. But it asks me for a password, and I don't remember setting one up. Is there a way to search for it somewhere?

Re: Software Update Problems - Please help
I realize that, but I don't remember if I set up a password, therefore I don't know the password. I'll try hitting enter next time though I think when I selected the restart it asked for the passwrod. The second part of my question was, is there a place to look up the password if I did set one? I've only been a Mac user for a few months, and was so excited the night I brought it home that I don't remember setting up a password.

Justin it all Leopard install DVDs regardless of whether you purchased it or if it came with your machine will have this capability. Actually the DVD you get with your machine is the same if you were to purchase it separately minus the iLife suite and any of the other trial or demo software, which I can't even remember at this point. :) On Apr 3, 2009, at 6:12 PM, Justin Harford wrote: Hello If it happens that you wrote a password and forgot it, you might just be able to rewrite it. OK someone else should comment on this too. So I know if you have the leopard installation CD there is a way to boot into the system through the disk and change the password. Put CD in computer Cmd option C to open computer view in finder, go under the CD drive, start the app file, should say something like install os x.app It prompts you to restart the computer and you say yes The computer restarts, you hear the apple boot up chord, and the cd spins around for a while. When it stops spinning, press cmd f5 and VO should come on. Go to the utilities menu VO M under that there should be something like password utility or change password etc Open that and it gives you a dialog where you can enter in a new admin password without knowing the old one. I'm not entirely sure if your restoration CD that came with your computer would have this though I would imagine so. Regards Justin Harford Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.

Re: Software Update Problems - Please help
if you don't remember setting one up then just press enter and see if that works, otherwise if you have time machine i would reinstall mac OS and then use time machine to back everything up.
