Help...not sure what I did wrong or how to correct.
I have a new 1 TB hard drive that I have in an external case to make sure this worked before opening up my Macbook Pro and changing. I followed the procedure and formatted the new hard drive in the external case, then I installed Lion on the external hard drive and all seems to be working well.
Every time I restart my Mac I am opening into the new hard drive, although my issue is the admin user name and password. When I login at the restart I see my user already in the box and my old password works, although when I try to migrate, or access anything in require admin user name and password I see a empty user and password box and will not accept my user name and password.
I have tried looking in the user area and I do see myself as admin with the proper user name, picture, etc. I can change the old password to a new password, but still receive the blank box if I try to do anything else as for admin privileges and the system will not accept my user name and password. Only thing I might see as a issue is my user name has spaces (ex: Run Up Hill) although it has never been a issue in the past.
Do I need to have the new hard drive inside my Macbook verses as exterior?
