Greetings, This is my first tim on this sight and from what I see, it looks like a good one
I have a G5 and moved up to a new IMac, found some things very slow with the G5 for what I need to do with it, so Im getting it ready to sell. I don't have any disks, I got it used some years ago, but i did have it up graded to Leopard. I saved a copy of the Leopard from my hard drive to an external drive and with some googled info, I found a sight that instructed to mace a new account and get rid of the old one. but now I have hit a wall since I can't get rid of the old one.
Here is what I did. I went to system Preferences from the Apple menu, click the Accounts icon, click the Lock icon, and enter your password. Since my machine didn't have a password I just entered Ok and Created a new account. I selected the check box that says Allow User to Administer This Computer.
From there I logged out from the Apple menu. After I saw the logon screen, I clicked the new account name but did n to enter a password since I didn't have one before. I hit System Preferences from the Apple menu and clicked the Accounts icon and Clicked the Lock icon again.
I then clicked on the old account icon and then clicked the minus button, but the old account would not go since the - button would not work.
I do have a new account but the old one is still there. Any help on this would be great!!
Thanks
