[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1523190, member: 46727"] That will definitely lock you out if that's what you did. And, if the account name was changed that will also lock you out of Safe boot mode. Is there data on the hard drive that you need to recover? In your situation it may be better to do a reinstall of OS X. Do you have an original install recovery disk for the machine? If it's a 2008 - 2009 model, it may have come pre-installed with Leopard OS X 10.5.X or Snow Leopard 10.6.X. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
