Zioraffa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Guys I urgently need help ... This morning I very casually opened the mac, click the disk icon, and get information at the bottom where you've enabled access authorization by everyone: no access. I thought he was referring to all users except the administrator, but it is not. Now the Mac will not boot up, the gray screen with spinning wheel. I tried to start by holding cmd + alt + P, but nothing, I tried to hold capital but after loading a gray bar remains gray screen with apple logo and nothing wheel. I DO .... Is there a way to enter the administrator password? Possible that this setting is like a self-destruct button? Thanks to anyone who can help me .... I forgot that I have a MacBookPro 2009 and the OS is Maverick .... Sorry for the bad English i have used an online service of translation, i write from Italy.

Gary_GW Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Try this, worked on previous revisions. Tricking your Mac into creating a new user account 1. Power on or restart your Mac (should work for any Mac OS X system). 2. At the chime (or grey screen if your chime is turned off), hold down Command+S on your keyboard to enter single-user mode. 3. This step is optional, but it’s a good idea because it checks the consistency of the hard disk before moving on. At the prompt, type fsck -fy and press Enter/Return. Wait for the checks to complete before going to the next step. 4. Type mount -uw / and press Enter. 5. Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and press Enter. Type shutdown -h now and press Enter. Create a new account using different info as previously done. As soon as you have restarted follow the following steps; Click apple, System Preferences, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295827-mac-blockedvery-stupid-mani/#findComment-1992487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
