andycorleone Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I did this abnd help me to solve the problem (Taken from other post) The standard admin account for OSX (and any linux system btw) is "root". You have to login as that and reset your settings there, like this: 1. Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting i.e. type -s at the "boot:" prompt and wait for the prompt ":/ root#" to appear (I had to boot -s twice and press Enter after the static cursor appeared to get the prompt; you may not need to), type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for ":/ root#" to re-appear. 2. Mount the file system by typing "mount -uw /" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt. 3. Change the root password by typing "passwd root" at the ":/ root#" prompt and then typing in a new root password and retyping it again as requested. 4. Create the .AppleSetupDone file by typing "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt 5. Boot the system by typing "exit" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt.

VAD3R1 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Big Thanks for the Above Post, took a bit of trying but i managed to get the Password to reset finally from the root# prompt at startup!!! Was a close call I tried running the 10.5.5 combo update which crashed halfway , but thank the Gods I had Burned IDENEB 10.5.5 to a DVD and then installed over my now crashed 10.5.3 Version! A couple of bugs to fix still like shutdown etc etc, but hey she is going!!! Next Up BUILD an I7 cpu HACK-PRO and Kick some ass in Logic with that Beast!
