[QUOTE="trave1guy, post: 1289537, member: 129021"] I have forgotten my admin password and am trying to boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD that came w\my Imac. I select restart from the apple menu and when the gray screen comes up I press the c key, however, when the imac comes up it booting from the hard drive instead of the dvd drive. It does have a window for the install drive open, but it is my understanding that if it was booting from the install disk the first thing i would need to do is select my language. So my question is, when am I supposed to press the c key to get it to boot from the dvd drive and not the hard drive? I know this is a very basic question i just can't seem to get the timing right. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
