quinterro 68020 Sep 13, 2008 #2 I received a MacBook to repair from a customer. Being a used laptop, it had the password from the previous owner still on the unit. So far I have tried going into single-user mode and booting from DVD to reinstall the operating system. Neither of these options work. Any ideas?
