== How to change a password on OS X 10.4 or older == |
|||
As an older unix the procedure is: |
|||
# Boot on single-user mode |
|||
# Change the password on command-line: |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
# passwd my_user |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
== How to change a password on OS X 10.5 with no installation DVD == |
|||
# Mount the system in read-write mode |
|||
# Launch the directory services |
|||
# Change/reset the password |
|||
# Reboot the system |
|||
In short, the list of commands are: |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
# /sbin/fsck -y |
|||
# /sbin/mount -uw |
|||
# launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist |
|||
# dscl . -passwd /Users/<username> <password> |
|||
# reboot |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
== How to change a password on XServe == |
|||
# Boot on single-user mode: |
|||
# Mount partition |
|||
# Change password |
|||
# Reboot the system |
|||
In short, the list of commands are: |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
# fsck |
|||
# mount -uw / |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/$newuser _writers_passwd administrator |
|||
# passwd administrator |
|||
# reboot |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
== How to create a new user with administrative privileges == |
|||
First write down the gid which comes from admin group |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -read /groups/admin |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
Lets say, the gid is '''''20''''', then from command line execute: |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user uid my_user_id |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user realname "My User Real Name" |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user passwd "my_user_passwd" |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user gid 20 |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user shell "/bin/bash" |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user home "/Users/my_user" |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user _writers_passwd my_user |
|||
# passwd my_user |
|||
# ditto /System/Library/UserTemplate/English.lproj /Users/my_user |
|||
# chown -R my_user:staff /Users/my_user |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -read /users/my_user |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -append /groups/wheel users my_user |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -append /groups/admin users my_user |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
