Mac OS X Privileges reconvery tips

This tip saved my ass when I broken the privileges of Mac OS X by accident, while changing the file sharing settings:

  1. Turn on your Macbook.
  2. Press and hold the [Apple] and "S" keys when you hear a chime sound.
  3. Release the keys when you see computer code on a black and white screen.
  4. Type at the prompt: /sbin/mount -uw /
  5. Press the [Enter] key.
  6. Type next: rm /var/db/.applesetupdone(rebuild user setups) or chmod (rebuild the user privilege)
  7. Press the [Enter] key.
  8. Restart. Your Macbook will restart and you can create a new user and password by going through the installation wizard or reborn .
