Spykes424 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I was in the process of trying to change my short name, by right clicking users folder, and setting permisssion to me from system (worked). then i went to rename my house icon (worked), then i went into netinfo and changed users "name" and "home" (worked) then i went into admin users and changed "name", (didn't work). so i just tried it, and now when i try to change account options (add, logon options) i click unlock, and it prompts for username and password, and i enter it and it says im wrong... so i tryed to change permissions of user folder again (not sure what to do) and then again prompted me for username and pass and i entered and dint work, says its incorrect, so then i booted panther isntall disk, and i tried to reset password for me, system, and app and i did, and still same prompting problem (wont let me do anything!!!) so then i tried to repair permissions from cd again (not know what im doing!!!) and still all same problem. what to i do, i dont even care about my short name anymore, just please help me!!!
