Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. # Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old # The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following: This was Posted by: JoseAranda at Septem3:48 AM I'm assuming maybe the boot order is set to boot from the CD first or something along those lines? But if that were the case then once it starts to boot from the HD then the CD tray should stay in once it's back in, right? Any ideas what's up with that? Is the CD drive defective?

And since the login screen makes you type both the user name and the password then seeing a list of logins might also be helpful, no? o)Īlso, knowing which OS is installed might also help me figure out which OS X Server install disks to find if I need to boot from those. I suppose knowing that might change the procedure I need to follow to reset the password. First off, is there a command I can type to find out what version of the OS is installed from the command prompt when I boot into single user mode? I've also tried the /sbin/SystemStarter command but that goes into the GUI and hangs when it gets to "Login Window Starting". I've also booted into single user mode and tried the assorted command line suggestions I've seen elsewhere such as (after mounting volume) sh /etc/rc but that didn't work because it got stuck saying "waiting for IPFilter" over and over every 3 seconds and I couldn't break out of it and it never got past that point. I've tried all of the usual logins and passwords. Anyway, I'm not really sure of even the admin login name, let alone the password because you have to know both to login.
