[QUOTE="anharper88, post: 1260891, member: 168819"] Running OSX 10.4.11 Old beat up computer desperately clinging to it's last days (because of his constant irresponsibility with torrent downloading) , and my ex boyfriend just made it more difficult. Broke up couple days ago- while I was sleeping he made a new account and made himself the administrator, and won't give me the password. I had my own administrator account that had to be erased and everything lost about two weeks ago because it started doing the "flashing spotlight/desktop icons/keyboard not working" problems. Cannot unlock anything in system preferences without his password. So.... how can I reset the administrator account and password without a working disk drive and without losing any data again. If it's even possible. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
