I would first like to apoligize if this topic has already been coverd, but i wen't to the search page and got all the same results that i got from google before. If anyone can help me please reply!


OS 10.2.8
My computer was hanging right after the grey screen, displaying only a blue screen. I started up in single user mode and
'mv /var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml preferences.old'
'reboot'

then I was able to set up my admin account again, and everything was going fine until I completed the proccess and logged in. The login porgress bar keeps going and going and going, and never logs in. I can't find my old 10.2.4 (i think that was the version?) cd, so I wont be able to boot from it and attempt to resest the admin password.

If there is any other way to fix this please let me know. Thanks in advance,

-Richard
