My problem is relatively simple to solve normally, but my conditions are quite extraordinary i suppose. I have 10.4 tiger operating system on it with access only to one of the accounts created with the user status as the "restricted" or one that has lessened controls. That being said, I forgot the password and administrator name of the computer. On top of that, my CD drive doesn't work so re-installing the software or using the CD drive is out as well as a remedy. Hopefully someone out there knows how to reset an adminstrator password using these restricted settings without use of the CD drive. I suppose if all else fails an usb cd drive would have to do, assuming i can find my software disks. But if anyone has any knowledge about resetting it without the CD drive and doing it from the "restricted" setting it would be awesome if you could share the knowledge.
