Hi! I was wondering if you could maybe help me with this.

I lost my admin password of my Powerbook G4, so I used:

mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now

to remove the old admin account so i could create a new one (which i read on several sites). This worked perfectly in just one try. But when i have to fill in my data (name, address, etc.) the keyboard is disabled! It just makes this annoying sound when i press any key. Without entering your data you obviously can’t continue registration.

The keys do work until that introduction clip starts.

Help would be very much appreciated, since my laptop is useless this way.!
