I'm running into a problem with my Mac g4
I can't reset the password; I get an invalid prompt after doing the 'resetpassword' query. Is there any other way to unlock the account? It's a single user account.
I got Mac at yard sale and the people won't answer the door now ;( I'm frustrated!

The best way is to enter the recovery mode while restarting Mac, and then erase the Hard Disk Drive. Then you must install a new version of OS X on your Mac.
Attention: All your files will be deleted after erasing the HDD.
NOTE: Enter the recovery mode by pressing ⌘-R while restarting Mac.

3What sort of password is it? Does it prevent you from booting into OS X? Can't you just wipe and reinstall the OS? – Karan – 2015-06-03T11:48:04.513
I dont have the original disk to install. The password is administrative type, any other idea? Thanku! – MissApplegirl – 2015-06-03T11:51:38.390
Does it have Recovery Mode (Command + R during restart) that will allow you to erase the HDD and download OS X from Apple? If you can't download a copy of the OS then you'll have to borrow or buy it. – Karan – 2015-06-03T11:56:28.123
