Re: A way to reset the admin password?



Simplest way that I know of is to boot off the installation DVD and use the reset password tool from the menu.

I am locked out of my OS X Server 10.4.3!

I went to install the most recent security update via the software update
control panel and it failed to authenticate when I entered my password. I
had not changed the password from what it had been and I am the only person
administering the machine. This is a scary mystery. So, I went into
WorkGroup manager, reset the password (to what it had always been) and then
I was able to successfully authenticate and install the security update.
However, when I restarted the machine after the security update
installation, it fails to authenticate. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian Wachter
