Administrator Password Problem

Try this. Basically what I told you to do in single user mode but with an extra command added.

You sure? Works fine for me.

Works for me too, but since it's straightforward, I just copied the steps:

1. Boot into single user mode (press Command-S at power on)
2. Type fsck -fy
3. Type mount -uw /
4. Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
5. Type dscl . -passwd /Users/username password, replacing username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
6. Reboot

That didn't help as much since this Lion doesn't have a "com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist"
