How to hack into an admin account on any non-hardened Mac.

Okay, so this information is not illegal to post. Just want to throw that out there. It's also fairly common knowledge but I figured you guys would get a kick out of it.
First, restart the computer while holding the "⌘" + "S" keys. This will open up a command prompt.
Mount the hard drive with write permissions by typing in: Code:
/sbin/mount -uw /
Hit enter and then type this code in: Code:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Hit enter and type in this: Code:
reboot
This tricks the computer into thinking it's being booted up for the first time, and allows you to create a new admin account. A video will play, and you will need to enter in some common information, the hard part is done.
Once you are logged into your new admin account, go to "System Preferences -> Users & Groups". Click on the admin account you want to get into and hit the "change password" button. Change the password to whatever you want and then reboot.
Now you have access to all unencrypted files on the admin account you wanted to get into. The keychain password will remain the same, as otherwise you could easily steal bank account and credit card information.
Easy as that.

Yeah, I used this all the time when I was in highschool to install video games on computers . You MUST follow this word by word, it's case sensitive and will not work if you miss a single character or space.

Tell me what went wrong and give me the responses you were given, you probably didn't mount the hard drive with write permissions.
I'm about to pick up a tank of nitrous so I'll be back in thirty, but the code I posted is flawless and time tested.

typed everything correctly
these are the responses after each command
/sbin/mount -uw / "Localhost:/ root#"
/var/db/.AppleSetupDone "-sh /var/db/.AppleSetupDone: permission denied" <----thats where the problem is

The first response you got told you you were authorized to read/write to the hard drive, the second was a fluke as I missed the "rm" part which actually deletes the file .

@falsereality,
Indeed sir. but can you trick your computer into thinking it's being booted up for the first time? That is, can you see without subjective interference? Sir, can you see without the image? That is the real challenge, isn't it sir? Finding reality in the mist of subjectivity. Can you do it sir?

Sir, is techology limited to adjusting one's self to predetermined patterns of code? Surely, it is not. Surely there is technology both inwardly and outwardly. Is that not so sir?

No, it is not. Check out genetic programming and how it relates to strong and weak artificial intelligence development. It's the opposite of predetermined patterns of code.

Call me crazy, but I truly believe through programming we can create a better, smarter, more efficient and less corporeal species... it will take a long goddamn time, but it's possible.
In an infinite universe, everything is possible.
Here's a very basic example of genetic programming in action, do the movements of the virtual bug remind you of anything?

Yes. I've already modified my body with multiple cycles of dinitrophenol to change ATP-dependent functions, temporarily... I used to be fat, you would never suspect it now, and I haven't taken it in more than a year.
By making some functions less efficient, and others more so, I changed the way my body stored fat and dropped every pound of excess fat without making significant changes to my diet.

@falsereality,
so then we see that efficiency as a virtue, is dependent on one's predetermined scale of measurement. is that not it sir? you chose dinitrophenol while others would certainly avoid it. you chose it, in part, because to you efficiency is a virtue. is that so sir?

2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP): a weight loss agent with significant acute toxicity and risk of death. Grundlingh J1, Dargan PI, El-Zanfaly M, Wood DM. Author information
Abstract 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is reported to cause rapid loss of weight, but unfortunately is associated with an unacceptably high rate of significant adverse effects. DNP is sold mostly over the internet under a number of different names as a weight loss/slimming aid. It causes uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation; the classic symptom complex associated with toxicity of phenol-based products such as DNP is a combination of hyperthermia, tachycardia, diaphoresis and tachypnoea, eventually leading to death. Fatalities related to exposure to DNP have been reported since the turn of the twentieth century. To date, there have been 62 published deaths in the medical literature attributed to DNP. In this review, we will describe the pattern and pathophysiology of DNP toxicity and summarise the previous fatalities associated with exposure to DNP.
people who overdose on this stuff get rigor mortis BEFORE they die.

It's incredibly dangerous shit, which is why I made sure to research it until I was confident I gained a level of understanding so it could be safe to use. If you OD, there is no antidote, just a slow painful death where your body literally cooks itself from the inside out.

@bodhiofankou,
sir, it was the same question just reworded in an attempt to convey the deeper meaning. the question was: why do you seek to define the speaker? rephrased, why do you look to form conclusions, preconceptions? that is the real question here sir. not why the speaker is like this or that, but why the mind cubbyholes meaning with labels.
