Why not just boot from the install DVD and use it to reset the password? Check the Utilities menu once you get past the language selection screen. There should be a password reset program.
Hi,
I have an Intel Core duo iMac, runs on Tiger. Bought it 2006 new. I can't get past the log in screen. When switched on, it goes straight to this. i put my password in and it won't accept it. The password is def correct. Last time i used the machine (pre all this hassle) I logged out. I've tried the reinstall disc but it goes straight back to log in screen. Won't reboot, tried to install from an external dvd drive, same thing happens. Machine has kept time and date! There is a red dot on 'Network Accounts Unavailable'. What does that mean? Thanks for any advice.
