Can't recover password on Mac
I have an iMac 1st generation, it was given to be by a friend who I traded my ps3 for.
I won't make this long but I will be as detailed as possible
When he gave it to me, there was the admin's password on it. Theoretically, he isn't the admin. So I was looking to reset the password/create a new account by holding down the command-s buttons at start up.
I came to find that the computer ignored all start up commands at the start up, even holding down the C and option keys don't work. I have a brand new wired apple keyboard connected.
Later I found that the keyboard driver doesnt start up until AFTER the apple logo appears at startup. I tested this by pressing the caps lock key to utilize the green light indicator to determine whether or not the keyboard was actually on at start up.
Please help. What should I do?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.4)
