Q: how to access TimeMachine after clean install
Hi,
sorry if this has been asked before.
Recently I did a clean install on my MBP after a 4-generation-old OSX 10.6.8 TM backup got way too slow (I had used it with my old MBP, then restored to a 24" iMac, then a 27" iMac, and then to the new MBP).
However, with the clean install I did obviously not create the exact same user name / account I had before, so I cannot access the TM now. I'd like to extract some of the folders from that backup, mainly images I am missing and some data.
How can that be done?
Thanks for any help.

If you don't want to do the migration again, you can also use this to modify the account name you have right now.
