Hey all,
Basically my 4530s has worked fine for a long time, I have set it up myself and haven't changed anything since 10.9.5 cos I didn't want a performance decrease (not even sure if it would if I went to mavericks or higher).
Its worked fine for a long time till the other day I didn't shut down properly and when I stared it it get a grey screen then eventually I get guest login only (the option for my account is not there). Im using it now as guest mode and heres where it gets tricky....I went to go re install multi beast or the pro book installer (I have very old versions on my boot USB as my osx version is old) and as I can only use guest mode it asks for admin login and password to make changes or install anything!
When I type in my correct username/password it stalls then basically says its wrong and I know my admin username and pw are correct!!! If I type random nonsense in its instantly says no but when I use the correct login and pw it hesitates and still docent work. (when I say it says no I mean the dialogue box wiggles like on all Macs)
No matter what I do I can only get a Guest login to appear, Boot, Boot Verbose, Single User ext
so to sum it up:
When powered on I can only see a Guest login
When I go into and try to change anything needing an admin PW it won't cos its as if my user profile is gone.
How can I fix this?
My data is still there as when I check the volume size its full of crap I just can't access it in guest mode.
I will be so greatful and thanks in advance!!
