I have a used G5 and bought OSx Snow Leopard. With the install CD in the drive I press c at boot but keeps going to signin for previous network user. I tried Option but it only shows the hard drive. Is there a way to wipe the drive without logging in, I don't know the user or password.

  • I found the solution: This will allow creation of another admin account.
  • Follow exactly.

    mount -uw /
    Press enter and then.
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    Press enter again then type
    shutdown -h now

    Follow those steps exactly and then it will work.
