Hi. I lost the install disk for my computer (Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger), and need to change my password (I forgot it
). I can only access single user mode. Is there any way that I can create an Administrator-Status user in Single User Mode? (NOTE: The "root" user isn't really an option since I enabled it a while ago and it has the same password as my current user, which I forgot...).
Thanks,

P.S.
I have already tried this tutorial:
http://www.macshadows.com/kb/index.php?title=Gain_Administrative_Control_of_Mac_OS_X
But could not get beyond the "sh etc/rc" part. I typed that in and it outputted a bunch of lines, then went to a blank, blue screen where all I could do was move my mouse
. Maybe if someone could help me fix that problem, I could use the solution found in that tutorial? I'm not really sure though, I'm lost! Please help! Thanks again!
