There's no administrator on my computer...the 2 accounts that i have, have "standard" on them. I try inserting my Mac OS X disc to reset accounts and it asks for administrator account and password.

Is Command+C supposed to boot from disc? I tried and it doesnt 😡

HELP!!!


thanks.

Press 'C' after you hear the boot tone to boot off of the CD. Option works as well if that fails.

Which version of OS X are you using?

I'm having the same problem. Apparently the only thing that can be done requires a complete wipe of the hard drive. Which really sucks when you've got nothing to transfer your iTunes to,
