I believe this method would help you recover your password
QUOTE You can reset your password with the CD (or DVD) that came with your Mac, but if you don't have it, try this tip from Hackszine. Restart your machine while holding down the Command Key (or "Apple Key") and the "S" key. This will start your Mac up in "Single User Mode." Now it's command line time.** Don't worry, it's just three lines: * #sh /etc/rc * #passwd yourusername * #reboot OR You can try this method |

Thanks for the Help Sm I will try the command thing. I thought I would never get into the computer again. I was looking everywhere for the answer to my question but only got help for Mac Osx Thanks again for the help.
Oh man it did not work? I hold down the Apple key and the S while it is starting up and it does nothing. Once again I have a Mac 9.2.2 or just 9.2 and also is it me? Am I doing something wrong? This post has been edited by TypoMage: Jul 27 2007, 06:32 AM |

Well I'm glad to hear you regained use of your computer, I just wanted to comment to any people who may be reading this thread that Saint Micheal's method only works on mac os X. Os 9 didn't even have a terminal to get to in the gui and you had to run the comp under root which was super annoying.
