Disk Burner is an OS 9 or earlier app. In OS X, you can use the Finder->File->Burn Disc, the Disk Utility->Images->Burn, or the iTunes->File->Burn Playlist to Disc functions.

They are normal notifications that older permissions (those shown in the BOM Archives residing in /Library/Receipts packages are no longer valid and were changed by Apple in the latest Security updates.

My girlfriend got a G4 from her X husband in her divorce. She she asked me to hook up & get running for her. When I boot, I get a screen that says the name of her X husband, and then it asks for a password. Needless to say, he says he has "forgotten" it. I know in PCs, you can sometimes remove a jumper on the motherboard to reset the password. I don't know how it works in Jaguar or Apples. I would like to tell you which version of Jaguar it has running, but I can't get pass the password screen. Short of booting to her original jaguar disks, and loading OSX again, do I have any way to get to the desktop? She has files she would like to keep if I can save them for her. Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Boot from an OS X install CD. I think there is some way to enable root on the system. If root has never before been enabled, then it won't have a password and you can set the password to whatever you want. Once the password is set, you can change the password of the existing account. Be warned that some of this will likely require the use of the Terminal and the command line. The catch is I don't know the details of enabling root from the Install CD. I could be completely wrong. I've never done it. I only remember reading something about it. Some google searches or possibly some searches on Mac OS X Hints would be helpful Please let us know what you find out. ...Duane From Thomas.Holland at Sun.COM Wed Apr 13 14:44:17 2005 From: Thomas.Holland at Sun.COM (Thom Holland) Date: Wed Apr 13 14:44:23 2005 Subject: [HM] Password help & Jaguar In-Reply-To: <6.2.1.2.2.20050413142156.023a5bd8@pop.ptld.qwest.net> References: <20050402204322.5F29F365BC3@listserver.themacintoshguy.com> <6.2.1.2.2.20050413142156.023a5bd8@pop.ptld.qwest.net> Message-ID: <425D92B1.1000701@Sun.COM> Jack, You can reload the OS without writing over the data files.

I'm typing this from memory so details might be a little off but this is the gist of things.
