Hi everyone, I hope you'll forgive a Windows user for treading on your sacred ground, but I have a reasonably annoying (Mac OS-X) problem that needs sorting out.
My boyfriend's running Mac OS-X 10.3.5 with the following stats :
Machine Model
owerBook G4
CPU TypeowerPC G4 (11.3)
Number Of CPUs:1
CPU Speed:400 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):1 MB
Memory:640 MB
Bus Speed:100 MHz
And somehow he's managed to lock off the entire desktop with "the military encryption programme" - whatever that is. Basically, he can't access his hard drive, his email, but when he connects up, iChat still functions and his email still downloads.
He's cursed, I swear, because he planned to do a complete OS re-install, bought the disks, and the first disk is missing (is that meant to happen?). What can he do to get his desktop back? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't need to do a complete re-installation of the OS...there has to be some techie way of turning it off.
Please please please help, because he's annoying the heck out of me now.
