rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone no longer working for mac OS X 10.6??!? HELP!!!!
My roommate forgot his admin password on his MacBook air..
He doesn't have the external SuperDrive, so we have no way of using the simple method of using the install disks and resetting the password..
The worst part is, he did this same thing about a year ago lol
At the time, we booted into safe mode and did the command:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
And all was well...he was able to get back into his machine and reset his password...
We tried the same steps, but we are nit getting the same results...
Are we typing the command/argument incorrectly?? Any help would be appreciated, and would save him from a long drive to the apple store..
Thanks in advance
