christophski Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Ok so after a bit of rooting around ive found that this is a common problem apparantly, and this is apparantly the solution -s at darwin bootloader /sbin/fsck -fy <--step one-Type this first then enter /sbin/mount -uw / <-- step2- type this then enter passwd root <--step 3-type this then enter..now, it will ask you to enter a new password enter password..then enter..(remember at this point..there is no **** to hide your pass neither visible of your pass..but it blank..noted that what you type is actually write but there is nothing to show at the screen as Apple does this..) reenter password to confirm password.. touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone reboot <--type this and enter Ive tried to execute this, but im constantly getting stuck on the 3rd step where i enter "passwd root" to change the password, when i type this and push enter it instead gives me an error, "error 35" ring any bells for anyone? Just as i thought i found the solution another problem pops up, can anyone here help me out here please, instead of this thread getting burried deeper and deeper in to this forum Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142416-successfull-kalyway-1052-install-stuck-at-first-boot-and-have-you-owned-a-mac-before-please-help/#findComment-1011546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
