Q: os 10.5 has not admin account
Hi - recently upgraded my PPC Powerbook to OS 10.5.4 from 10.4. Somehow what was formally my administrator account is a "standard" account. I have no administrator account. I cannot unlock any of the system preferences panes. I cannot start-up from the OS Install disc.
I'm stuck. The computer will not let me do anything, moving in finder, deleting, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom Nelson

Force Removing Password Protection
1) Add or remove DIMMs to change the total amount of RAM in the computer.
2) Then, the PRAM must be reset 3 times. (Command + Option + P + R).
