[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 188006, member: 11094"] When logged in as root download the latest combo updater from apple that is available for your OS, ie 10.3.9. or 10.4.5 or 10.2.8. Repair permissions, reboot, run that update as root, reboot. When logged in as root create a new user called brandon and be sure to give it admin rights. log off as root and in as brandon. As brandon use system preferences to delete the brandonpriddy user. It should ask you if you want to delete immediatley or to save the users old home folder in the deleted users folder. Do the latter and the brandonpriddy home folder will be made into a dmg that you can mount and move content to your new user folder to take ownership. At least that's what I would do. [/QUOTE]
