Hello to you all

I've been reading for a long time now and haven't seen anything about this vulnerability so i thought id post it to make sure it was here

this bypass will only take a couple of minutes with the actual machine but will leave you with your very own admin account and all the power that that brings

I've tested this on a'lot of different macs and haven't found one that cant be exploited yet

firstly

you will need to shut the mac down and restart it in single user mode

to do this press and hold the command and S keys as you power on the mac un'till you get a black screen with white text scrolling down it

this will quickly leave you at the root prompt

once this happens you will need to type

mount -uw / and hit enter

this command mount the users filesystem at our root directory

then comes the fun part youll need to type

rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and hit enter

this command removes the file that tells your mac its been run before

meaning that once the mac is restarted youll end up at the startup wizard for first boot where you can happily creat your very own admin account

now type reboot and hit enter

success!

now we can create our admin account and own the system

enjoy my fellow hackers
