Help Please!! I have a 5 year old IMac running Leapard. recently the OS started to misbehave so I reinstalled the OS and restored the whole machine from my time machine backup. this worked fine!! However my log in is now only "standard" and when I try to do anything that requires admin privileges, the OS does not recognize my name and password .
This is what I have done to date.
changed password by booting up with OS DVD
changed password from system preferences
checked admin name from ID on the Terminal
I know my name is correct from the terminal'
I also know my password is correct from the hint given on third attempt
Can any one help, machine wont back up or let me install anything, I'm pretty stuffed here
