[QUOTE="muso, post: 603844, member: 40"] You should see a completely different screen when you're holding down C on boot, it should be the leopard install screen, from which you can go to one of the options under the menu bar (I forget which) and reset the master password. If you don't get that screen, try holding down the option key, which should give you a choice of boot discs. If you don't even get that option, try holding down menu on your apple remote which will do the same thing. I'd be very surprised if none of those work. If they don't, chances are you have a faulty CD drive and will need to get an external hard drive to boot off :( [/QUOTE]
