[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 720158, member: 51052"] I really don't see how running fsck or removing a touch file will cause you to be able to reset a password. Really poor advice technically. Now, when you rebooted off the DVD did you try logging in? The automatic login, I believe, is tied to your password. Aside from that lets talk recovery. Boot into single user mode again, try touch /var/db/.applesetupdone then read through this page [url]http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080414140636495[/url] [/QUOTE]
