Jarome Garcia Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 This is what i tried -s mount -uw/ passwd root but when i do step 2 (mount -uw/) it says illegal procedure or something like that someone please help! ok well i figured it out, i feel like a major noob but if this helps anyone, my advise is when you are following instructions and reading commands make sure you type them in exactly they way they're supposed to be for ex: i typed -s mount -uw/ i was supposed to type -s mount -uw / (space between the [-uw] and the [/]) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171822-i-cant-change-my-account-to-an-admin-type/#findComment-1183442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
