Messed up User privileges with File Sharing

[lanz1987]

I've got a major problem, i was messing around with File Sharing and the user privileges and now Me and the system dosent have access to the files and i cant boot!!

I have seen a solution for this on this forum but now i cant find it, i think i remember it using the chmod command.

I have tried booting from the Installation disk and running the disk utility and restoring my user privileges but nothing, please help!!!

Can you get to the login screen?

Nope, get to the blue background but nothing happens after that.


I found this https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=6623733#post6623733

Its not the original solution i have seen before (its a lot more advanced) but im trying it out.

For future reference:

The guide from my last post worked for me up until you are suppose to run Terminal in Mac OS X, it dident let my launch the terminal properly. But i could boot Mac OS and backup all my stuff and then i reformatted.

Lesson learned: dont mess with the File Sharing User Privileges!!
