Hi guys
I know you're all going to laugh at this one but can anyone please offer
some help. Not really a MacBSD problem but it's sure as hell preventing
me from running it!
In my infinite wisdom I decided to use my copy of APS Power Tools 2.7.3,
which incidentally lives only on my internal hard disk, to set a password
on a disk partition. Problem is I set it on the root Mac partition instead
of the second one. And guess what -- it won't boot. :-(
Somy question is, does anyone know, since I now don't have Power Tools to
unset the password, of any way I can get my data back off the disk or
preferably restore it to its former glory without having to reformat the
disk. Any info/help would be wonderful. And I know it's
unethical/illegal but if someone could lend me a copy of Power Tools I
would be eternally grateful.
Sorry to waste your bandwidth but I'm getting pretty desperate here.
There's some vital research data on this disk and without it I'm screwed!
Thanks,
Steve
