I am helping a friend with a problem on his iMac Power PC G4 700mhz 384 ram running Jaguar OS10.2.8.
His keychain is not allowing him to send emails - it repeatedly requests his password. Funny thing is that it accepts the password when receiving mail. He can't delete the keychain as it is locked and says his password is not valid.
He bought the machine second-hand five years ago and either didn't get the installation CD or has lost it. His son thinks that the system was already set up when they got it.
So.... Is there any way I can reset his password without using an install disc?
Also, he would like to upgrade to Tiger but would it install on a non-intel machine?
If he buys the DVD I could install using my MacBook as a target, yes?
Any other advice??
Cheers
Teresa
PS. I should mention that his son has his own user account
