put in your leopard disk, restart the system while holding down the c key after the chime. After the drive fully stops this will take a few minutes, press fn-command-f5 to turn vo on. if this doesn't work, press enter to get past the language chooser and then fn-command-f5. Once vo is running, either press enter if you didn't have to do it first or answer the prompt on your screen. Press command-q to quit the installer and answer yes. Once you get the next screen, try vo-m or control-f2 to focus on the menu bar. There will be a utilities menu. you can do one of two things, you can either bring up disc utility and try permissions repair or you can use the password recovery utility and choose the account whose password you want to recover and enter a password. This should be successfull and you should be able then to restart the computer after choosing to start from the hd using the startup disc utility.
If you choose permissions repair, when it is done, quite the disc utility and set startupdisc to your hd. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2008 11:11 AM Subject: Please help, I brike the macbook Hi guys, I broke the macbook really good. It wanted to do updates and when it asked me to restart nothing happened for a while, so I restrted again. Bad move. Now the password for my account doesn't work and there's no option to log in as the super user to correct whtever problem the computer is having. Is there a way to restore back to yesterday, or will the password come back on 24 hours if I wait, or is this the deathnell for my OS? Panicking panicking panicking panicking panicking... Erik
