[QUOTE="MacDude121, post: 1138746, member: 173432"] Try this to try and get by the password: 1. Reboot 2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime. 3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line): * mount -uw / * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone * shutdown -h now 4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. Then you should be into the laptop at least. From there, we can see if the iBook will accept the disk. [/QUOTE]
