To replace the login screen background:

In Terminal:

• cd /System/Library/CoreServices
• sudo mv DefaultDesktop.jpg DefaultDesktop_Old.jpg
• (enter password when prompted)

Quit Terminal

• rename desired image to DefaultDesktop.jpg
• in Finder, drag and drop the image into /System/Library/CoreServices
• when asked, click Authenticate and enter user name and password for your Admin-level account.
• Restart
