I just purchased a used ibook from ebay. I am very new to the mac world. Please help. To boot from a cd on my ibook, you have to press and hold "option" instead of "c". And then you need to type a password. I was given the password. I would like to change the password (or get rid of it altogether) and change the boot key back to "c". Anyone know how to do this?

Also,I have 10.0.3 and think I should upgrade. What does everyone else think? Stay with 10.0 or buy 10.1 or 10.2. Is it worth waiting for 10.3?

Thanks

Wait for Panther.......it's definitely worth it

Grapes,

The "option" command is only needed if you have
multiple Operating Systems and partitions
onboard your iBook.

Yes - it is actually "C".

Insert the boot CD, go up to the blue Apple in your
top-left corner ->> scroll down to "Restart" - agree
to "Restart" - then the moment your screen goes
black - hold down just the "C" key on your
keyboard and keep it down for around 30
seconds or so - and yes - Raffy is right - don't
purchase Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar) - only a couple of
months (or less) and there'll be Mac OS 10.3
(Panther).

cheers

clockwork ;)
