[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1691024"] There are no less than five different models of Mac Pro with that identifier, so being more specific about the specs of the machine would be helpful. Most of the models with that identifier could run Snow Leopard, but there's a mid-2012 version I believe that would of course not be able to, having originally come with Lion or Mountain Lion. I don't understand why you can't just reload Yosemite onto it -- going back to SL represents a big security risk, plus then you'll have the extra work of upgrading the SL to 10.6.8, then using the Mac App Store to regain Yosemite, then reinstalling Yosemite. If it had Yosemite on it, it's got a recovery partition, so why not just use that to either reset the password or reinstall the system? [/QUOTE]
