10.4: Reset password under 10.4 using 10.3 install disc
Authored by: holo on Aug 25, '05 02:14:16PM

you can use pretty much any OSX installer cd to do this. I've used all sorts of different version install cds/netboot to reset passwords.

good thing apple hasnt really changed the netinfo database to the point where this no longer works

10.4: Reset password under 10.4 using 10.3 install disc

How were you able to get the Reset Password utility onto a netboot image? I've been trying this for a week now with no luck.

We have a netboot image that has all sorts of repair utilities and re-image utilities. I'd love to get the Reset Password utility on there. But of course it keeps saying it needs to be run from the installer disc. Grrrrrrr.
