basically, I purchased my macbook used, it came with nothing but manuals and the macbook/charger. There is the administrator pw and the user name still on here. I want to change the names and reset the pw to my own. Or maybe I even want to reformat, create a partition then reinstall the entire OS.
I was told that the disc is married to the system its' installed on. But that sounds kind of dumb. Being in IT for so long, I didn't even know it was technically possible to get a disc to be married to a system. Maybe the other way around if the disc have an automated CD keys. I dunno, but what do I know about mac. It's my first MacBook!
Can I borrow his disc and reinstall the OS on my system? How can I find my own cd key on my current system?
