ok...lets assume that one has used dd to extract a Vmware img to a disk.  This installed and runs OSX on a system sans vmware.  How would one go about changing the passwords that were already preset and unknown for two users...lets call them curtis & deadmoo.  I tried booting in to single user mode in darwin, but the passwd command doesn't do jack and never give you the opportunity to enter a password.    Don't know  a lot about Darwin or OSX and looking for help.

Thanks,

/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
sh /etc/rc
