I am running:
IMac with Intel..10.5 leopard
20 Inch
hi there,
I just bought an imac 20 inch. Now it started up all good then I installed leopard and all seemed well, until I tried to software update. It asked for Admin name and password. I provided these and it just said 'You need to type an administrator's name and password to update', as if I didn't type anything at all.
Now I know my admin and password I am typing are correct as I can log out and on. So my next step was to re-install, but then I cannot do this without typing in admin and password which it just acts as if I don't write anything. I then tried to re-install original disks holding 'c' then go to the password changer in 'utilities'...but wouldn't you know it it just crashes every time I open!
I am stuck and very frustrated... any help would be appreciated. I saw similar topics posted but none that really fit...please help. Thanks.....
PS- leopard kept on freezing on installation.
