I've tried everything including re-running the wizard again by removing .AppleSetupDone in /var/db and tried running the dscl tool which wouldn't want to run in singleuser mode no matter what so I had to type >console win no password into the login box to run it in multiuser mode and then it failed because it couldn't find its root. But I needed access desperately so in one last desperate attempt I've set a password for the root user in single mode, booted into GUI and was able to login as root. No luck in creating a new user even via GUI. But that's okay since I got something running anyway. I suspect this was because the machine got a name with international characters and something went wrong during OD initialisatiom. That is only a guess though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33777527.post-1985703369526463682007-11-14T08:37:00.000-07:002007-11-14T08:37:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting!
