Would you mind talking me through this please?
I rebooted then when I put in mount-um/ I hit enter to go on the next line but it came up something like unkown command prompt.
I didn't get any disks with it just a camera and charger. I can't update anything.
The command you typed is wrong. You left out space characters and the wrong character.
It should be:
mount -uw /
Something smells fishy here.
Where did you get this Mac and why don't you have the password?
The instructions you refer to are for creating a new administrator account, not just resetting the password.
If you just want to reset the password, these are not the correct instructions.
What you on about something smells fishy?
I wanna update my Java so I can play online poker but I can't cause I need the password I can't downlaod any updates.
When I type in mount -uw / how do I move down to the next line to put in the next part cause I can't press enter?
