Alright, I have a mac mini, that has an admin account, and a normal user account. The user account is limited highly, and i want to reformat i got the install disc but i can't boot off the disc. It requires a password for almost everything.. I can't enter single user mode, safe mode or anything. I tried to change the start up disk option but it won't let me do that either. I even tried remote install mac os x but when i try to boot holding the option key on the keyboard it just boots regularly. Anything i can do to reset the admin account?
