[QUOTE="Exists, post: 708370, member: 64180"] So I've come across an iBook G4 running OSX 10.4.11 and I'm having trouble gaining administrative access. I don't normally use macs, so I'm new at some of this. I've been using this guide to help me along - [url]http://www.macshadows.com/kb/index.php?title=Gain_Administrative_Control_of_Mac_OS_X[/url] Everything works fine until I enter the command - sh /etc/rc . It runs through the commands and it starts to boot. It boots to a blue mac screen and the cursor appears in the upper left hand corner. Nothing else appears. So basically, all I want to do is create a user with admin access, and I don't have the correct rights. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
