Become Admin on a Mac

[MindshockDesign]

poooooop

[minispore1]

after I put in 'passwd root' it comes up with the 'daemon encountered an error processing request' what does this mean"?

[JakubFTW]

Should I do this on a mac the school lent me for the year? Please answer

[RapFan275]

Is it possible to retrieve the current admin login without modifying it or creating a new admin account? Useful video by the way.

[nmorales1356]

hey man you the best for that!! thank you so much!!

[AgentCats]

Did you use Pinnacle Studio to edit this. By the way, can you install Pinnacle on a Mac?

[computermaniac4]

@AgentCats uhh ya i think i used it at that time and no i edited it on a windows computer but i don't remember much because that was 2 years ago

[snexgen1]

Thanks for the help!

[TheQuickscopeVeteran]

@snexgen1 did it work?

[snexgen1]

@TheQuickscopeVeteran Yup, worked fine, I used this to restore rights to another account.

[skayerboycesar]

hey dude nice vid but when i shut ut down i press comand s it does nothing it goes into the log in screen plesse reply

[ShaBProductionz]

@skayerboycesar your admin has blocked the start up mode its done to me aswell alot of admins cought on to this

[DemonicBratChild]

@skayerboycesar Try holding both keys down and continue to press until the screen comes up. Also, dont wait for your computer to do something when you start it up, just straight away press and hold the keys.

[whatscrakn101]

it worked fine but after it rebooted it logged itself in ? with no name or password

[computermaniac4]

@whatscrakn101 u probably did somethin wrong when u executed the username and pswd commands but u should still be an administrator.

[xN0DEx]

Does this work on snow leopard?

please reply

[computermaniac4]

@xN0DEx hey sorry for the late reply, im using snow leopard now but im not sure. as long as you didn't change any of the root or sudo settings you should b fine

The best part of this video is the "bleep tone" used at the end.

[Hayesy15]

[sprnXtheTiger]

exact quote right here. o your screen it said 'the volume GIR (cant read the next word) appears to be ok' i find it odd that your start up says GIR in it :p
