I can’t login to my 10.3.9 machine today. I can’t access the admin account or check mail in my generic account. The machine is in my house, and the admin account is logged in at the machine, but I can’t seem to do anything. It’s as if someone changed all my passwords.
Can I boot up a 10.3.9 machine into single user mode and change the password?
Hey macshome, thanks for the reply.
I don’t think anyone changed my passwords, it was just acting like that had happened. I’m guessing it had something to do with me poking around with open directory. But, that was weeks ago. Not sure why the symptoms showed up yesterday.
It turns out that I had enabled the root account, and its password was working. I was able to create a new administrative account using serversetup, and use it to set the passwords to something I knew. I believe things are ok now.
btw, how can you reset the password using the install cd?
thanks,
Mike
