Can't reset password from single user

Jethryn Freyman · Nov 25, 2009, 06:24 PM

Mounted to drive, booted into single user mode, yet trying to reset the admin password with "passwd" gives me a "cannot create session" error. Has anybody seen this before? Thanks!

Did you mount the filesystem read & write first?
