Hello, people.
I am trying to recover my iMac G3's (tray-loading) system. I had gotten it off eBay and installed Mac OS 9 so I could dual boot it using this image: http://mirror.macintosharchive.org/macintoshgarden.org/files/apps/Quicksilver_0.sit [copied file to Hard Drive and Blessed it.] I became stuck as I eventually made an error in locking the account and am now stuck at the logon screen. ( I had attempted to change the name of the owner's account, and made a seperate account so I don't run into errors. I found that my seperate account did not have admin access, but twas too late, as I could not login to Admin account. For some reason the account had made it so previously you wouldn't have to log in, but now I do.
Now, my CD drive will not boot my OS 9 cd, BUT, the system also runs Mac OS 10.3.9. I cannot get into it (for I cannot bless it, because the gates ofhell Mac OS 9 will not let me switch to the system folder, due to the inability to login.
Would it be possible if I could try to boot to the Mac OS X folder from Open Firmware, if possible, or could one find the password from the disk image?
Thank you.
