Help Foolish Boy - Password help, G4 9.1

  #1  
Jun 15th, 2006
Hi everyone,

I've recently come back to UK and pulled my trusty G4 out of storage to use again. Everything booted up great after 18months downtime, and I was really chuffed when it all went ok and got to the log-in screen. Howevere the smile slipped from my face, as for the life of me I can't remember my password.

Does anyone know if there is anything I can do that will get me back in ? ideally without losing any of the files I've got on there.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Al.
