Hi WAMUGers

Does anyone have a 'quick fix' for lost administrator privileges. My personal PowerBook G4 (Mac OS X 10.5) now asks me for an administrator name and password three times before I can use system preferences, and no longer accepts my user name and password for any changes.

When reviewing my system account, the administrator checkbox ("Allow user to administer computer") is greyed out, and no longer ticked.

If I can avoid a complete reformat and reinstall, I'd prefer it, as I'm uncertain whether even that is possible without the administrator access being available.

Are there easier options?

In hope ...
