I updated my system a while a back and since then have been plagued by the message "Type an administrator's name and password to continue..." I googled a bunch of stuff but it all led back to this apple support page:
Mac OS X 10.5: Administrator user changes to standard
All the other people who have had problems like mine found it very helpful, but I can't get past the first step! It says the following:
1. Start from your Mac OS X 10.5 Install DVD. (You do not need to install Leopard again.)
2. From the Utilities menu, choose Reset Password (do not choose Firmware Password Utility).
I, however, do not know where the utilities menu is. I'm using Install Disc 1 from my Everything Mac/AppleCare pack which came with my 32" iMac. Is it the right thing, first of all? There's a screenshot in the attachment. But otherwise, where is the Utilities menu? Any help is much appreciated.
