| Deleting User Account Via Unix I have a Mac computer at home that automatically logs in to my daughters user account. Apparently, there is an automatic log-in in her account that has conflicts because whenever the computer is turned on, after the gray apple screen, the screen turns totally blue. I have tried booting up in safe boot (pressing shift key at startup)and get the following message: darwin/BSD (Laurens-computer.local) (console) login: After typing any login, I get a line for typing password but nothing types in the line of password and I keep getting a fast message of incorrect password and the screen goes back to blue and then back to the same darwin line. I have an administrator account on this computer and no combination of logins and passwords seem to work. I have also started the computer with command key + s key and gets into single user mode and is in the root. From there, I do not know how to delete her user account to eliminate the problem as I am not able to get into the computer bypassing her automatic log-in. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I do not have any startup disks for this computer as it was donated as a surplus from the school. It is a G3 operating on Mac OS X and I am not sure if the version is 10.3 |

| 1. Shut down the computer if it is on. 2. Press the power button to start the computer. 3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple) and the S keys until you see white text appear. At the prompt, type fsck -yf and press the return key. Type mount -uw / and press the return key. Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and press return. Type reboot When the computer restarts, it should act as if you had just installed OS X for the first time - it will prompt you for information to set up an administrator level account.
