Hi
I have an aluminum unibody macbook 13"(the generation before it got renamed macbook pro)2Ghz, 2gb ram, 160gb hard drive, originally came with Leopard, upgraded to snow leopard about 1 year ago, had it for 2 whole years.
all this time i only had one account to login to my macbook, i never saw a reason to create multiple accounts but about 2 weeks ago i did create another account just to try it out. normally when these two accounts were in place, when it was time to login the dialogue box appear with the two account options right? Last night i just logged out of my macbook and didnt shut it down. today in the morning when i tried to login to my normal administrator account the dialogue box started shaking telling me that my password was wrong. i tried my luck with the other account i created and the same thing happened. then i chose the option to restart the mac. after it restarted now the dialogue box appeared asked me to enter Name and Password, so i decided to enter my admin name and password and it didnt work. i tried with my other account and no luck. then i clicked the arrow to go back and i saw that was trying to connect to "Other..." account. Now i know that i always have had an "Other..." account but i dont know any details for it and nor have i changed anything for that account.
So is there anyway i can solve this without using OS installation disk or is that my only option
