My post on Mac OS X Password Recovery that I made almost a year ago continues to get comments today. It’s a fairly common issue. Since it has reached 126 comments (and the page is getting long), I’ve decided to close comments. You can continue discussion by leaving a comment here.

can ANYONE tell me how to recover or change my administrator password??? Mac g5 osx 10.3.9
I experience what is posted as comment #126 by JD. Does anyone have the answer for that problem?
i was trying to change my password on my G4 powerbook and now i have lost my login password. i tried the year old elliot’s method. /sbin/fsck -fy followed my /sbin/mount -uw / when i type sbin/SystemStarter, nothing i am returned to the localhost# and after a few seconds an error message appears, Cisco systems, [date] VPN client failed to startup or something. what do i do?
I just received a Mac from a friend. Version 10.4.1. I have no admin access and no startup disk. The system is defaulted into a user so I can use some parts of the system that don’t require admin access. At the log in screen there are only two users. I am assuming that the other is the admin user. I saw some helpful codes to input and I will try these ones but I have tried others before and I was having problems. I don’t think they were designed for 10.4.1 This computer has a lot of software put on it and I don’t want to loose any of it. Please give me a code that works for this version. I have research programs I need to start on. Thank you for your time!
i have tried everything you said to do i can only get so far i need help after i do passed [username] . all i get is a bunch of words and it goes back to the localhost:/root# what do i do
