Thanks Bruce for your feedback. I've actually tried again a pwd reset from the install disk, this time it worked, but I also booted onto OS 9 afterwards. So perhaps that's the trick? The "Other user..." appearing at log on time, though, is still there, not sure how to delete that. It has no username and no associated home directoty. A ghost. If anyone had this, how should I handle it? Oh, and I've turned FileVault off... cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
