I acquired G4 imac with Panther already installed. I have Panther disks and wish to reinstall with a clean installation. However, the password on this admin acct on this machine is lost---and the imac isnt even letting me boot from cd. I made myself another user acct--in Jaguar one can allocate admin permissions but somehow this mac didnt allow for that---only "standard" acct. So now I am even locked out of the admin user acct.
How can I boot from cd and install fresh over the previous admin acct? I really do not wish to dig in there and extract the HD. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
