Hey guys, I've been searching through Google for a solution to my dilemma and have yet to find anything that works for me.

I have an iBook G4 that I recently bought off my friend (who is one of those guys that like to hustle people), so I don't really know where he got the iBook in the first place.

I can get into the laptop and everything, the problem is when I try to go to my Account Settings to try changing the admin name, etc.

The old user set his password, and since I don't have the installation disc, I can't reset the password like that.

I've tried booting into single-user mode, and doing the whole mess with /sbin/fsch to /sbin/mount -uw /, etc. Once I got to the /sbin/SystemStarter step, the processes failed to launch. So basically--that didn't work with me.

Anybody have any other solutions to reset the password?

and pulled up an old post to do it because you are too stupid and pathetic to actually ask in a new post, I shall return the regurgitated question with a regurgitated answer.

As you have already probably found while sifting through dozens of these threads for the best one that doesnt say this, you have just now added this to the list. Dont you feel f**king special you piece of shlt loser?

TR MEMBERS DO NOT ASSIST IN BREAKING PASSWORDS.

But since you obviously lack anything remotely like intelligence, I will state it again so that maybe it will sink in a little bit.

TR MEMBERS DO NOT ASSIST IN BREAKING PASSWORDS.

However, for some reason I still think that you are too f**king stupid to understand, so here is a life hint.

Find the place on the wall where cords come out of. there will be a few slots in the wall if you remove the cords.

Turn the power OFF and make sure it is OFF.

Use a screwdriver to remove the face plate from this rectangle like area of the wall.

Once the face plate is removed, use the screwdriver to remove the piece with the slots (where the cords plugged into). Also, remove or cut the wires going into this 'thingymajig'.
Use a wire stripper on the wires (there are several) and strip off 1 to 2 inches of the plastic coating.

Now get out some grounding cable and tie a 4-5 foot piece to EACH of the wires in the wall.

Get 1 gallon of gasoline, and put it in a little tub on the floor next to the wall, or soak the carpet right there. Sit in the gasoline, or on the soaked carpet.

Tie each of these wires around a different finger/toe AND neck.

Yell out to someone to turn the power back on.
