Hi,

I need to reset the administrator password on a Mac Mini running Mac OS X. I want to boot from the CD so am holding down the C key during boot but it just boots to the login page.

Could this have been setup not to allow this or is it just that I am using a UK Windows keyboard, though it is recognises the letters as I type them, but obviously don't have a Command key should that need to be pressed.

Any tips or advice?
 
I can't comment on the keyboard, but are you using the original Mac OS X installation disc that came with the Mac Mini?
 
Pretty sure I am, I have install disk 1 and 2 and they are the only Mac disks in the office as everything else is a PC. This is just running as a web server.

I also am unable to boot into single user mode trying every combination of something - s

Just seems to ignore everything and loads to the main login page.
