I have a Mac power book g4 (black keys) and I have always had an administrator password on the computer. recently, my family members have been using my computer when I am not home, and as I am always working on design stuff for work I decided to put the password on for startup as well (meaning that you had to login to the account on startup, i.e. Auto login disabled)

I didn’t change the password at all and now when I restarted, it won’t allow me to login in.

Any ideas?

How can I get around this?

Thanks

Hi there,

boot up from the OS X Install DVD, don't reinstall...go up to the menu bar and select the Password reset option.

This will allow you to reset the password.

regards

Ric
