Hi, I'm trying to create a new account because I have bought an iMac second hand and the previous user doesn't remember his admin account password. Would someone advise me on what command prompts I need to write in order to create a new account. Thanks!

Hi,

Just wondering how I can create a new account and password?

I've bought a second hand iMac from a dealer who hasn't fully erased the previous owner's user name and password. Therefore , I can't update or install any new password or update to Mountain Lion...

There is also no installation disc, so I don't seem to be able to reset the password that way.

I've just gone into the dos text :/root and wondered what I can do to create a new account and password without having to reinstall Snow Leopard?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Steve
