[QUOTE="Laser, post: 1523178, member: 305240"] Unfortunately i have to be the guy who doesnt really know.. The iMac is from around 2008-2009.. So what I have done so far is to try a Safe Boot. The support page on the Apple site said that this will include a automatic disc check and repair.. However Im not sure if that worked at all because i still had to (try) to log onto the Daniel profile which didnt work. And no difference was made after restarting again. So instead i am now moving on to the Single User Mode and Fsck. I write the whole /sbin/fsck -fy and i do get a FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED message (one time), even goes for some more rounds just in case. I reboot but the problem is still there. So instead i tried to create another user through the Fsck with rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone, which take me to the initial set-up screen however i can now not pass the screen where you choose language (i click a language and the screen goes black for a sec and then it turns back to the language screen again) So i do "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone" and is now back to where i started.. Im thinking that maybe deleting the user ("rm - R /users/username") would be something that might work.. but then again i dont know.. Also im starting to think that some of the problem is in that i changed the account username it says "Namn" at the login screen but as i wrote "Namn" cant be find in the system, but the old one "(Daniel") does. ... Any ideas? Is there anything I can do? Will the CD work? If i dont find the CD can i get another one? [/QUOTE]
