  • Hi, I've done your way and it succeeded. But my password is still the old one, but I can get in to my desktop already.

  • How do i reboot it ? please answer asap im really scared. i tried changing my password and then i closed it and typed in the new password that i had choose. but it didnt let me log in, and then i typed in the password i had before and it didnt work either. please respond. =/

  • After that I type launchctl load /system/library/LaunchDaemons/­com.opendirectoryd.plist

    :/ root# dscl hit enter

    > passwd Local/Default/Users/"username.­for.the.account" "the.new.password"

  • command list:

    mount -uw /

    launchctl load /system/library/LaunchDaemons/­com.opendirectoryd.plist

    dscl

    passwd Local/Default/Users"username' "the new passwd"

    exit

    exit

    Thumbs up so people can see!

  • Hey, what do I do if I want to just delete the password so that there is no password? Is there a simpler way to change it straight to "no password" rather than changing it to a "password" then changing it to "no password"? Just curious... I'll have reseted my password by the time you read this so don't bother answering if you don't want to. Good video by the way, keep it up.

    Thanks.....
