frangio Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sorry if it's a noob question: I've upgrade my OSx86 system to 10.5.7 with iAtkos release (install/upgrade). All went smooth, but now I'm stuck with an ordinary account with no admin rights and no way to install news apps, etc. When I try to change my status in SysPref, of course I'm asked admin's name and PW. Fact is, I know for sure the PW, but it looks like any name won't do. IMHO there are two chances: 1 - I forgot the admin name I used fist during installation (likely... ) 2 - something changed without me knowing during upgrade. As suggested, at the end of 10.5.7 upgrade I resetted the PW before rebooting, but in the procedure there was nothing whatsoever regarding admin's name. Is there a way out this hassle? Or a way to know which is the admin's name saved in the system? Thanks for any of you who takes the time to give me a helping hand. fr.
