[QUOTE="naschr, post: 1492206, member: 292630"] Hello there , I Tried rebooting my macbook pro running Mountain Lion , and came across a Reoccurring Kernel Panic , Got to HD RECOVERY and Did a Verify Disk etc.... and was told disk could not be repaired. I contacted Apple support to help walk me through the process. he told me I did not have to reformat my drives and reinstall everything .....all I had to do was reinstall OSX and that doing this would not affect any of my data or personal files. When I Try to reinstall OSX from HD Recovery I get a message telling me Macintosh HD is locked . I asume it means my Admin Password, or a write protect lock of some kind .... but there is no place for me to enter my admin pass word. Help Please Is there a easy step by step to do this from Terminal ? or from Disk utility ? Thanks I am dead in the water ! [/QUOTE]
