'Passphrase' problem in Panther
« on: January 28, 2004, 05:59:38 AM »
One of my colleagues has just upgraded his iMac to run Panther and is having a problem relating to passphrases.

He has downloaded Safari from the Apple website and when trying to install it is asked for a 'passphrase'. He has no knowledge of having input a passphrase at any stage. He's tried running from the startup disc but on restart is asked for the passphrase each time.

Can anyone help?
