ok, so i baught this iBook off of ebay, but there are still soooo many blocks. i've used it for about a month now and ive had enough. there is too much of my work to reformat, i cant even do that!.
all my problems are as follows. there are 2 accounts on here, a user (this was from a net cafe so the password was the same as name) and an admin. they cant give of the admin pass for there security. i cannot boot from cd, as the lock and password screen come up. i cannot choose a different boot device because again with the lock and pass. the open firmware is passworded so i cant reset it.
i need to know if there is anything i can do to fix this. maybe a program to retrieve the password or the firmware password. i remember a similar program of os9 called FWSucker that got it, but i can find nothing similar for os x. i cannot install anything that does not already come as an app, and i cannot write to anything but personal files.
i'm running an iBookG4/1.2ghz/12.1/combo.
any help would be much apreciated.
