Resetting registration on OS X?

[J. Charles Holt]

Does anyone know to reset OS X so that it brings the initial registration doojobby up on launch?

[Cap'n Hector]

Try this from the Terminal:

sudo mv /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb.old

If you want to do it from Single User mode:

mv /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb.old

Then restart. Either one will make it re-run the registration thing.

Thanx!

If you don't want to inactivate your old NetInfo DB, you could try this:

Just delete this:
/private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone

If you delete this file, OS X will "think" you haven't done the setup, and will launch it again for you.
This could come in handy if you don't want to remove your account (like a system admin-account), but want to force a new user to create his/her own account, after a first boot.
