[QUOTE="ericuhftw, post: 1340450, member: 228440"] I recently purchased a Macbook running Snow Leopard off of eBay. It runs great, but the person never wiped the drive. Whenever I turn it on, it brings me to a login screen, and it says "Mooreville High School." It took forever to find a way to get around it. I tried following a few suggestions I saw online about going to system preferences->accounts, giving myself admin rights, then deleting the original admin account. It wouldn't let me do that. I can't remove things from the dock, I can't move anything to the trash. In fact, I really can't do much more than browse the internet. The Mac didn't come with any disks, and I really don't have the money to have Apple intervene. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm on my metaphorical knees right now. [/QUOTE]
