Re: finding ways around
Hi, lovette, I'd advise a system restore. if the seller has provided you with the recovery software for the machine (OS X and the ilife system, etc) then you're good to go. I advise this for two reasons. 1: data protection 2: a clean installation is much better than an nstall where settings have been changed. I'd be happy to advise. lew On 6 Dec 2011, at 05:17, Lovette Yewchan wrote: Hi there. The mac I have is one that was purchased from an acquaintance.

Re: finding ways around
Unfortunately I do not have any softwre or backup. He apparently did reformate and rreinstall things. I wish I knew now what I did not when I got the lap top.

Re: finding ways around
OK let's see what can be done here. you say that when you try to make system changes and need to lock or unlock and it asks for a password. stupid question but did you try just hitting enter on the password. there's a chance there's no password but it always asks for one as normal, no matter whether you log in or anything else. if your system wasn't set up with a password then you are ok. if there is a system password, then it's time to break out the big guns... Ladies Shall we dance? let the password testing begin. lew On 6 Dec 2011, at 18:24, Lovette Yewchan wrote: Unfortunately I do not have any softwre or backup.
