Creating a new Admin on Mac Os X

Here’s how to reset your OS X password without an OS X CD.
the Working solution for me was to create a new admin
you can create new admin like this by deleting a specific file.

You need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:

1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime. (command + s on newer Macs)
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):

mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now

4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and your good to go again!

Apple stores wont reset it for you. Computer shops may charge you $50 to $200 trying to reinstall the Mac and failing at end.

3Com 4500 switch firmware update

This is mostly for my own notes, but someone else may find it useful.

I used TFTP method to transfer file to the switch. I used Linux Fedora TFTP daemon to accomplish that.

File name Prefix / Suffix

s3n / .app = 4500 application software.

s30 / .btm = 4500 boot ROM software

s3p / .web = 4500 web file (HTTP management interface)

3comOScfg.def / .def = 4500 config file

<4500>delete /u s3004_01.btm
<4500>delete /u s3p04_03.web
<4500>detete /u s3n03_03_02s56p05.app

<4500>clock timezone PDT minus 7

<4500>sys
<4500>ntp-service unicast-server 172.16.0.27

<4500>tftp 172.16.0.27 get 3com/s3n03_03_02s56p06.app
<4500>tftp 172.16.0.27 get 3com/s3o04_02.btm
<4500>tftp 172.16.0.27 get 3com/s3p04_03.web

<4500>boot boot-loader flash:/s3n03_03_02s56p06.app
<4500>boot bootrom flash:/s3o04_02.btm

and after rebooting the switch:

<4500>boot web-package s3v02_04.web main
