  • How To: Hack Into OS X Lion

    August 30, 2011
    in Tips & How To’s

    Yesterday one of two things happened, either a) I completely an entirely forgot my OS X login password or b) OS X refused to accept my password. I have no way of knowing which was the case, but regardless, I was unable to access my computer.

    I almost had a major meltdown, until Google informed me that OS X Lion is horribly insecure! Horribly, horribly insecure.

    You can gain access to (almost) anyone’s Lion account in 3 simple steps.

    1. Restart the machine in recovery mode by holding down cmd+r on reboot.
    2. Open terminal in the utilities menu.
    3. Type `resetpassword`.
    Voila.
    Am I missing something? Is this not as bad as I think it is?

Hi.

Hello, my name is Ryan! I’m a web developer in Winnipeg, Canada. I’ve been documenting my random thoughts and occasional bits of interesting code here since 2005. Twitter. Github. Instagram. Mastodon.
