I have two problems that need solutions.


1) I am stucked in recovery windows after pressing CMD+R. I can't change my password since I could not find 'Machitosh HD' in the 'RESET PASSWORD' Windows and I cant return to my apple homepage. any solution?


2) After pressing cmd + S, I found bash 3.2 prompt instead of root to reboot and chnage administrative password on my system.

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Internet Recovery is not used to reset an admin password.


Shut down your Mac. Hold down the power button until the screen goes black. Then wait ten seconds then restart while holding down the Option key. That should launch the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk (MacintoshHD) then click Restart.


There are several ways to change your Mac's admin password. Help here > Change or reset the password of an OS X user account
