asap18 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 boot off the install cd, reset the password, then boot into single user mode by holding -s at boot. And reset the keychain in single user mode by going to Apps/Utilities/Keychain Access. Go to preferences - reset my keychain.

asap18 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 theres a way to do it in single user mode but i dont know how. I made a mistake it should be safe mode to reset the keychain.
