[QUOTE="rixter07, post: 968378, member: 137242"] I have Mac OS 10.5, specifically Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0. I need to reset a user password at the command line. In other Unix flavors, there is a command [I]usermod[/I] for this; I am trying to find the Darwin equivalent of this...if it exists. I cannot use the System Preferences/Accounts for this because, bizarrely, this user does not appear in that list. The user is the mysql user that got created for the sake of managing MySQL. Somehow, I have managed to get that user created, but no longer have access to the password. I've searched many other places and forums for this info to no avail; hope I can find good intel here! TIA, Rick [/QUOTE]
