Posted by: mac_mogul There's really no way to 'find' the password on the computer. You'll have to 'find' it if he's written it down somewhere. To reformat a Mac, you'll need administrative rights and a restoration/OS disk. He probably has a password on it for a reason though... :rolleyes: Posted by: raverockz what kind of restoration/OS disk? can i download it somewhere? Posted by: macdude425 No. Downloading a Mac OS X install CD is illegal. Posted by: The General You could download and install Linux. :p Posted by: raverockz what i meant was. does the mac website give a download to mac owners from their web so others can download that tool to reformat their mac? like a link for mac to the download tool? Posted by: mac_mogul The 'tool' is built into the computer, but you have to have the disks and an administrative password. :rolleyes: Posted by: M4A1 Get your own Mac? You can install w/e you want on it. Posted by: raverockz what u guys are talking? Posted by: Grayfox [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by raverockz [/i] [B]what u guys are talking?
