Finally I got around the passwords by entering a command in sum and it tricked the ibook into thinking it just got loaded with a fresh os and it set me as a admin, I deleted all other accounts and now im posting from my ibook. Allthough the airport still isnt working... :shade:

It also needs wireless card if it does not already have one. As the original card is pricey you may want to check out the guides on this site for using third party cards. Have fun!


Hey what type of hard drive does it take? Will any notebook hard drive work?
