[QUOTE="anonymiss808, post: 388532, member: 30881"] Hello! I recently picked up a titanium powerbookg4 at a yardsale for 400$ and it included Adobe Photoshop, and everything..which is useful because i will be going into computer graphics, and figured it would be a good starting -out commputer for my major instead of buying a brand new one..but anywho... ..when i was trying to uninstall some programs that i didn't need on the computer, it prompted for the admin password, which i didn't know. so i found [URL="http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_reset_my_mac_os_x_admin_root_password.html"]this website[/URL] that site that gave me info on how to do it. 2 questions: 1-When i use that method is it going to erase all of the programs or files that i already have on the computer? 2-if i use my cousin's osx instal disc, which is one of the earlier OSX versions (mines is 10.4 i think?), will it downgrade the version i already have to the one that's on the actual install disc that i use? thank you very much..ANY reply would be greatly appreciated ;D [/QUOTE]
