[MacbookMiller]

Does it come with macbook pro cause i can't find mine and if so then where?

[lildeizel6454]

-.- come to find out i didnt even had a password but thanks anyway..lol

[codyacomputerman1]

can u send me a copy of the disk or something like that

[theapplechannelHD]

@codyacomputerman1 I would be happy to do so, if it would work. Sadly, you must use the disk that came with your Mac. This is because the disk is registered to your particular Mac - sorry.

[NewJersi2468]

can u help me every time i hold alt on just takes me 2 these 2 files can u help pls??

[theapplechannelHD]

@NewJersi2468 If you have a disk in the drive, it should give you an option to select the disk. Does it not display that option?

[NewJersi2468]

its just says application instal disc with 2 files that say........"install bundled software and instructions

[theapplechannelHD]

@NewJersi2468 Are you using the same disc that came with your Mac?

[NewJersi2468]

yes

[NewJersi2468]

after every time i hold down alt it say macintish hd??

[theapplechannelHD]

@NewJersi2468 It should say Macintosh HD, but also any other hard drive and discs you have connected. Like at 0:23. You need to click the disc (cd/dvd).

[NewJersi2468]

@theapplechannelHD i didnt get anything els but macintosh hd??

[jbaseballci16]

@theapplechannelHD what if u don't hv the disk?

[SplashJuze]

@NewJersi2468 Step 1. Mount your Mac OS X Install DVD.

Step 2. Shut down your mac.

Step 3. Hold down "C" on your keyboard and boot up your mac.

This will automaticly boot from the DVD.

[theapplechannelHD]

Please, can I use any Mac CD or just the one comes with each computer.

and what do you mean but the infamous sound ????? do you mean the sound come up after you enter a CD in Mac ? or the sound that come up when you turn on the computer ? thanks

[theapplechannelHD]

@nawaryoussef1 Sorry for the delayed reply. It's best to use the one that came with the Mac. That's because that disc is registered to that very same Mac, and no other. And yes, I meant the bong sound that you hear when you turn it on.

Thanks for watching!

[MacBookPrototype]

Perfect...My mom made a stupid account and locked it with an impossible pass...now thanx to this im FREEEE!! 

[lildeizel6454]

do you still hold down the alt key when it loads

[theapplechannelHD]

@lildeizel6454 Once it loads, you can release the alt key. Thanks for watching!

[brendaasianishgirl]

can you reset your password without the cd?

[theapplechannelHD]

@brendaasianishgirl Not if you don't know the password.

[lucas85596]

i have microsoft office: mac 2008

[lucas85596]

when you do this, all files including photos, videos and other things would erease?

[theapplechannelHD]

@lucas85596 No, because you don't actually reinstall the software.
