I recently swapped my 13" MBP for an 11" MacBook Air.
How can I change the ownership, so that I am officially the owner of the MacBook Air?
Also, the person that swapped with me, left his OS on it without reinstalling a clean install, so now I am not able to install any programs as I'm prompted for an administrator password which I do not know, and doubt that the previous owner would provide it for privacy reasons.
The solution is to do a clean install of OS X Leopard... but how is this done?
There is no optical drive on a MacBook Air, and I only know how to do OS installs using MBP's or iMac's, not Air's.
Also, the seller did not provide OS X Leopard to me on an optical disk or a USB key - Does the Air usually come with OS X Leopard in some type of media (DVD or USB Key etc). If so, I will have to enquire as to why this was not provided.
Advice would be appreciated.
