I would thus be using the Air's display on the MIni. That is, in my case, if I hook my MacMini up as the target to my MacBook Air, boot the Air, then boot the Mini in Target Disk Mode, I could then select the Mini as my start up disk, and boot from it. I was reading, though, that via Target Disk Mode, one could use that targeted disk to boot the non-targeted machine. I'm thinking it would work, as in Target Disk Mode the "targeted" machine's drive is treated as an external one, and unless that drive was password protected (not sure if that's possible), one would have "open season" on doing disk maintenance/repairs. Not sure how it would work using someone else's machine as the one being "targeted". I have only used Target Disk Mode for my machines, and both had the identical password.
Your original, more mature (is that possible with you?) point about this password business could be accurate. Guess it was too much to expect that to last! As I stated, though, that was your first post that did not contain nay whining. My point was correct, as just about all your posts contain sone senseless whining. I find the later theory hard to believe, but then I've been doing the above every day for a couple weeks now. So either I'm missing something here and am posting silly nonsense, or OSX has essentially no security at all.
You can open that hard drive and explore the file structure without needing a password. To get inside do this.ġ) Connect Mac #2 to Mac #1 using a firewire or thunderbolt cable.Ģ) Boot Mac #1 while holding down the T key.Ĥ) You'll now see the hard drive for Mac #1 on the desktop of Mac #2. Let's say you want to access files on Mac #1, but it's locked behind a password protected login screen, and you don't have the password. It appears you can bypass the password protection on any Mac simply by accessing it from another Mac. I haven't yet fully tested this, so feel free to correct any misunderstandings I may share below. I've finally learned target disk mode, and have come upon something interesting.
