2003 / Owner password

Just in case Anyone gets this problem in the future this is how I managed to correct it.

I booted from a MAC OS instaltion CD ( Unfortunatley I had to use a lower OS system ) but this worked fine.

Openend the control panel and moved the Mutliuser prefs ( File ) and the Mutli user ( Folder ) to the desktop.

Restarted the machine.

SUCCESS  - No more log in password.

Kelly

Just one more thing if I may. I have just found through one of the guys at work the install and software restore CD's for OS 9.0.4. Perhaps a very silly question, but will this allow me to boot from the CD and then delete the multi user prefs from th HD, even though I am running 9.1

Thanks

David

Thanks for the help Kelly.

It looks like I will have to wait until I can get my hands on the CD.

P.s - I am sure that it is mine.  

Thanks again

Hi

I have managed to turn on the Multi user mode in MAC OS 9.1. Now on turning on the computer it asks for the "owner" password. I have no idea what it is as I didn't mean to turn it on in the first place.

I have tried holding down the space bar on boot up and turning it of, but it tells me that I do nat have the required access limit.

I do not have the instalation disks to hand as they are abroad.

Is there any way of turing this off

Thanks for any help

David
