help

hi

i;ve hit a brick wall - my iMac was acting up over a network
and the system admin password has gotten screwed up.

i;ve tried to reset the password booting from the install disc but it wont let me?

is there a way to reinstall tiger when i try to do that it askes for the [password which has somehow gotten changed?

any help appreciated

regards

 

hi thanks

the menu comes up with all the disc content

installer, osx, etc - i then go to applications - utilities - reset password

then i get the message " to open reset password you must start up your
computer using your mac osx install disc. to do this double click the install osx icon on the disc. when the installer opens choose reset password
from the utilities menu."

when i try it this way it asks me for the sytem admin password? which
is changed somehow leading to this problem.

thank you
