Password

[dunezone]

I dont get this ive read 3 different ways to change Deadmoo's password and none have worked, can someone please post a link or if they know what deadmoo set as the password?

[dunezone]

I managed to change the password but even after it asks me for the password on login and accepts my new password, root terminal denys it.

 

Edit:

I just dont get it, ive tried the old password set by Deadmoo and also the new one set by me and still denys me access.

[satanskin]

Thank you so very much! That helped quite a bit! Now to fix the "Still waiting for root device" error.

here you guys go:

 

the PW is  "bovinity"

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Doesn't work for me. I've changed the pass for curtis and that worked but I still can't su in terminal, I've tried both passwords. Don't get it.

sh /etc/rc

passwd deadmoo

passwd root

reboot

[fundidor]

boot with -s

at the console type:

 

sh /etc/rc

passwd deadmoo

passwd root

reboot

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

My post might sound stupid, but there is a commom issue than non-Macusers allways miss:

 

To be able to "su root" in a Mac you need to "enable root user" in /utilities/NetInfo manager.app

 

Hope this helps

you can also use "su -" does the same as su root but less typing

[derdhal]

I do

 

sudo -s

 

and the password, in deadmoo´s image is "bovinity"

This way i can install patches like root

Hope this helps.

Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but I am having some of the same problems (unable to change the password/ "bovinity" does not work). I tried booting with the -s and seemed to be getting somewhere, although whenever I typed passwd deadmoo the screen would turn green and the mouse cursor would appear, as if it were loading the GUI, then it would go back to the console and would not ask for a new password or anything. I rebooted, and now it wants a password to log on, and the original passwords will not work and none of the passwords I have tried to set will work. Is there any way to create a new user account or something (anything at this point, really) to fix this? Thanks in advance for the help.
