Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime. #3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line): * mount -uw / * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone * shutdown -h now After you will get the intro Movie, and prompts to set up a new admin account.
