??? Boot CD log in ??? you mean you cant log in, in osx? (if thats the case, insert your OSX 10.2 CD, boot up from it -restart hold down C- When installer window comes up, go to the top where it says installer, and select reset password) Post back if this works, or explain the problem better
Good Luck 8^D

Thanks for the reply. What meant was that I cannot login to OSX on a bootable cd made with "Boot CD"--Thanks

Did you read the read me file? It says in there what the login and stuff will be when you first boot up...

As taken from the Read Me file directly:

------------
Instructions to boot from a Mac OS X bootable CD:

1. Insert the resulting CD in your internal CD drive, and restart your Mac while holding down the ‘C’ key.

2. Wait for the CD to boot.

3. When the login panel appears, type ‘root’ for the username and ‘bootcd’ for the password. Both the user name and password should be typed in lower case, without the quotes.

4. Wait a minute or so, and the Finder should appear with the Dock and all the applications you chose while running BootCD. Your disks should be mounted on the Desktop.
