I upgraded to Lion. I wanted to add a SSD, so created the installer partition on that, together with a partition for 10.7. After booting into the installer partition, upgraded my SL installation with the new 10.7 partition as my target.
It all worked well, and it boots from the 10.7 partition just fine. The only catch is that it seems to have messed up my user name / password. It no longer recognizes my user/password from my SL installation. Without being able to get my admin privileges back, I can't use multibeast to fix my audio or upgrade to 10.7.1.
Searching the web, it sounds like there is a way to reset the password on boot - but required pressing Apple-R during boot and running passwordreset from the command line. That doesn't work for me.
Is there another way to upgrade from SL to Lion onto a new partition or way to reset my admin privileges on Lion. I'm stuck until I do that.
My SL partition is intact, so I can still use that thankfully.
