Help! Tried to reset my admin password but now my computer won't load!

HELPPPPP!!! I tried to "hack" into my iMac to reset my administrator password by holding down command + s and then typing
mount -uw /
rm -rf /var/db/ .AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
Not only did that not work but now when i turn on my computer it just stays on the plain apple screen and won't load.  I'm Freaking out!!

There is no way out but to get a new OS disk from Apple store and you're home free, so to speak

  • HAD TO RESET MY AOL PASSWORD AND NOW MY BLACKBERRY WON'T LET ME SEND EMAILS.

    I had to reset my AOL Password and now my Blackberry won't let me send send emails.  I can still receive them but can not reply either.  Went to setup to change AOL password there and it wouldn't take my Blackberry Password ID.  So I clicked on "forgot password".  It said it was sending my password to ######(my cell number)@vzn.blackberry.net       Where is this???????  How do I find it?

  • TS2446 i am trying to reset my security passwords but it will not let me. I have read alot of articles and i cant seem to find how to reset the passwords, Please Help.

    I am trying to reset my security passwords because i have forgotten them. i have read other articles but i still can not seem to figure out how to change these passwords.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I am trying to reinstall an admin password and got completely locked out. I can't get past the first log in

    I am trying to reset my admin password.  I think my computer was tampered with. I signed out completely and now, I am locked out.  I can't get past a black screen. I'm unsure of my operating system but I've had laptop about 2 years.

    If you boot from your install DVD and, after choosing language, go up to the Apple bar and select utilities, you can restore you admin and firmware psswds. You will these options there. Do not choose a firmware psswd if you do not need this, you may complicate your life, especially if you forget it.
    I do not understand how you changed the psswd and why you cannot log in, though. Did you forget the new psswd or why? What do you mean by ‘was tampered with’?
