I signed onto another account and tried to follow these instructions but that
doesn't work either. There are no other admin accounts on this machine. There
has to be a way in somehow. At this point I'm really unsure if I've
forgotten it or if I have an error. I am sure I know what it was but . .
doesn't work . . . if anyone has any further ideas, I'd appreciate it. . .
