Hi, guys.
I'm a teacher that has been given an iBook G4 running OS X version 10.4.7 for use in my classroom.
I need to install a new program. I talked to the tech guy in our building, and he not only gave me permission, but actually gave me the administrator password to use.
My only problem is this:
When I first turn my computer on, the only login screen that comes up is for teachers. I need to login as the administrator to install the program.
I would just go ask the tech person how to do it, but he will be unreachable for the next week, and I need it... YESTERDAY!
Last year, I used the same laptop running a different version of OS X, and to call up ALL of the logins at the opening screen, all you had to do was going into utilities and check a box that said something along the lines of "show all logins." But I can't find it in this version.
I also know- because I've seen a tech person do it- that at the opening login screen, you can press a button to make all possible logins available. I just don't know what to press, and again, my tech guy is away for a few days.
I know that some programs allow you to enter the admin password as you are installing, but not this one. When I try to install it, it simply comes up with a message that says YOU MUST HAVE ADMINISTRATOR ACCESS TO INSTALL THIS PROGRAM.
So, in short, I know how to install the program, I have the password, but I just need to know how to get to the admin login screen. Any ideas?
Thanks, gang!
