zxczxczxc Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 i don't know.. i guess! i pressed F8 at booting and then -s, and i tried by typing those things i wrote in my first post. do you have some solution for me?

verdant Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 i don't know.. i guess! i pressed F8 at booting and then -s, and i tried by typing those things i wrote in my first post. do you have some solution for me? 1. When you boot into single user mode using -s at the Darwin "boot: prompt", wait until you see the ":/ root#" prompt appear before typing 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. 6. Reboot from HDD with "-v -f" and the OS X Login screen is presented; enter "root" as Name and for Password, the root password chosen previously, and the system logs you in as System Administrator.

Toofy Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 i still get -sh: passwd: command not found message! what is -sh? and cant see ":/ root#" anywhere! and after typing -s and waiting a little bit I'm getting this: -sh-3.2# am i the only one who gets this message: -sh: passwd: command not found???? i haven't seen anyone who gets it! i came to this problem when i had kalyway installed.. here is the code that fixed it for me.. press F8 righh at darwin boot. then type exactly as follows "mount -uw / touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone passwd root" Do not put in quotes when u type in pass wd root u will get an option to set your own password.. once u type a new password press exit then enter, then type exit again. This should reboot and get u into OS X.
