发帖数: 2565 | 1 I got this used Mac Mini Intel Core Duo from ebay. It comes with the Mac OS
X installation discs.
I am very new to Mac, and I want to reinstall the system, but cannot get it
to boot from the disc.
When I double click on "Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software", it asks me
for the password of the original
owner of this Mac Mini. Since I don't know his password, this isn't an
option.
So, I tried restarting the system and holding down the C key, but it still
does not boot from the installation
disc. | a***y

Maybe I have to buy a snow leopard from amazon. Is snow leopard upgrade
only? In other words, does it have to be used on top of a previous Mac OS?

I googled and did see people talking about utilities, but keep in mind that
i can't seem to get to that point
because of the password problem.
