Ack !!!
OK.. did something foolish myself last noc...
my Graphite SE Clamshell was given to me by a friend who had since purchased a new iBook, and I thought I'd just reset everything to my name now instead of hers....
BIG MISTAKE.
Of course I now cannot even log in. I even have her user/admin name and her password, but it STILL will not take it. I believe it's because I deleted it from the "infonet" part of the system as the "superadministrator".
So now I'm in the same boat as the posters above. I was able to boot up by following the instructions given, but since I haven't "command typed" in AGES, after I type in the command, do I have to hit "enter" or any particular key to make it do what it should?
Or just type in what was written above and let it go? No key after that?
Thanx so much for any help.. by the way, this is OSX 10.1
When I follow the instructions given above it tells me there is "no such file or directory".. is there something different I need to be doing with the OSX 10.1 ?
I just got off the phone with the wireless folks after having gotten things up and running with the router, and I was soooooo excited to check it out and get online, and SURPRISE... couldn't even log on, period!
oh.. and the command screen (above where I type my own command.. in all that writing above) says something to the effect of "single user boot-fsck not done" and "root device is mounted read only".
