Mac Hack
Being such a cheapskate my long-awaited iMac purchase ended up being a second hand 2.4GHz OS X Tiger model. But it’s got a 24’ screen and stripped down it runs like a dream. However, if like me, you ever need to change the admin password, this hack is all over the Web and it really does work:
Turn on
Hold down apple + s after you hear the chime until you get a text prompt.
Enter the following terminal commands:
mountspace-uwspace/return
rmspace/var/db/.AppleSetupDonereturn
shutdownspace-hspacenowreturn
Let the command run and reboot
Go through the Apple setup process to create another admin user and delete the original… Simples!
