para sa mga my laptop ng MacBook apple or mac os-x, sana po makatulong ako sa inyo....
I have recently purchased a white mac book which appears to be locked as the previous owner didn't tell me the password. I also do not have the os x disc, anyone?
Contact the previous owner and explain that the resore discs than came with this white MacBook are only useful with another white MacBook. He can't use them on a newer Mac, so why is he hording them? He should be fair to you and give you the restore discs. Meanwhile, I hope you now realize that every computer needs a system disc, just as every car needs a spare tire and jack.
Some choices:
If you don't have an OS X install disc...
Method 1: Take the computer to a neighbor who has a Mac, an Apple retail store, or a Mac service shop and ask them to boot it to an OS X DVD and reset the password.
Method 2 (For OS 10.5 -- requires your knowing the short name of the user home folder--first link below):
Oh, wait a second...You don't know the user short name, do you? Then go ahead to...
Method 3 (will delete the previous user account and put all user documents into a disk image):
Boot to single-user mode and:
Type "/sbin/mount -uw /"
Press Return. (Nothing appears to happens, no problem. Also, you will see # again. That's fine; ignore it.)
Type "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone" (The normal format of Mac OS doesn't care about upper case.)
Press Return.
Type "reboot"
Press Return. (Now stuff appears to happen. You will finally get past the "Welcome" in a dozen languages and then you can create a new admin user. A few screens later, you come to the registration. Just choose "later". It doesn't come back later to nag.
After you have completed the new user, open the Users folder and look for "Deleted Users". It will have a mountable disk image that contains all the previous owner's documents. If they are of no use to you, trash them. He kept the system disc, so why return his old documents?

Each modern MacBook comes with the original Mac OS as part of the computer's package. If your MacBook is acting strangely--for example, running slowly or not loading applications properly--you can restore your MacBook to the factory settings to fix it. In some cases, this will repair whatever was going wrong with your computer. However, to totally restore the factory settings on a MacBook, you have to erase all of the files on it and start over.
Difficulty:
Moderately Easy
Instructions
1
Insert your MacBook restore DVD 1 into your computer and restart. Hold down "C" as the computer boots so it will boot from the disk.
2
Select your language and click "Continue."
3
Click "Options" at the "Select a Destination" window.

Choose "Erase and Install." Click "Continue."
5
Choose "Basic Install." Click "Install." Once the install is complete, your MacBook will be restored to its factory settings.
