[QUOTE="6string, post: 1038091, member: 120039"] Ok... Im back and it worked for me but I had an admin account already, but I had to create a new admin account, and couldn't use my same full name as before, so I took the space away between my given and surname! Before you go ahead, wait for opinions from others if you wish in regards to this working from standard account, although, you have nothing to loose, as you would have to go to apple anyway. Write all this down, and it's vital that you write it down, and enter correctly. 1- Reboot 2- As soon as you hear the tone hold command (apple key) and S until you get it starting to load a page full of writing. 3- Once the page has finished loading, enter the following. (I am writing [B]space[/B] every time you should have a space inbetween charactors) mount [B]space[/B] -uw [B]space[/B] / (click enter) rm [B]space[/B] /var/db/.applesetupdone (click enter) shutdown [B]space[/B] -h [B]space[/B] now (click enter) This will restart in the install welcome screen.
