bought a used MacBook Pro. (Tiger, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
but whenever i try to install things it ask me for a password.
and i dont know the password or the last person who owned the Mac.
so i read that i needed an instal disk to reset the password.
my friend has a Macbook and let me borrow her instal disk(tiger)
it tells me to insert the cd. and to restart my mac.
and when it loads back up to hold the "C" key and the install menu should come up.
but what happens is i hold the "c" key then sometimes on the gray screen i get a pic of a folder with a question mark on it then it turns into the apple then it just get sent to my desktop like always and it shows me everything thats inside the instal disk. no install menu.
so i clicked on the "Instal Max OSX and bundle" and this window pops up with the big X mac logo, and it says that to run the instal disk
i need to click on the restart botton. i click on it and then the window pops up saying i need to put in the password in order to restart and run install disk.
how am i supposed to run the install disk to reset the password if i need the password to run the install disk?!?!
please someone help.
please respond to this post or email me if you could help.
