Running OSX 10.4.11
Old beat up computer desperately clinging to it's last days (because of his constant irresponsibility with torrent downloading) , and my ex boyfriend just made it more difficult.
Broke up couple days ago- while I was sleeping he made a new account and made himself the administrator, and won't give me the password.
I had my own administrator account that had to be erased and everything lost about two weeks ago because it started doing the "flashing spotlight/desktop icons/keyboard not working" problems.
Cannot unlock anything in system preferences without his password.
So.... how can I reset the administrator account and password without a working disk drive and without losing any data again.
If it's even possible.
Thanks for any help.
