[QUOTE="MacGuy28, post: 773263, member: 78409"] I just picked up a used MAC G4 tower for a great deal. It currently has OSX 10.3.9 if I'm not mistaken. I was able to change the main name to my own name, and made a Admin password for everything, but under USERS it still shows the previous users "short name" on it. I did a little research and found a HOW TO here, but it didnt really work for me, so I ended up removing the 2nd user account that I tried to make. When I got to the step to use "Terminal" and hit return it showed it couldnt do what it was trying to do. I got frustrated and gave up. I was hoping one of you could help me with this, AND the fact that when I log in, instead of it showing JUST my image and name for my to put in my password, it shows another image titled "other users" even though there ARENT any other users. Sorry I'm so ignorant to this stuff, but I don't have a OSX disk to reinstall under my own name [/QUOTE]
