Okay. It's a PPC mac. System OSX4.11. He DID reformat and wipe and all that good stuff. Made the admin noname and can't remember what he made the password.

I have never started any Mac and seen a place where I could enter anything like the following:
1. mount -uw /
2. sh /etc/rc
3. ls /users
4. passwd (user name)

Is this something that only happens in single-user or verbose mode? I understand getting there, I've just never done it.

I appreciate your help. Thank you.
