Hi,

I just bought a Dell Mini 9 with OS X 10.5.6. I have two issues and hope that somebody here could help because I have already spent quite some time search but nothing worked.

1. Although the resolution in Display Preferences is 1024x600, the UI is super tiny. The menu bar, windows, fonts and buttons are smaller than they should be. When clicking into a folder, the window becomes bigger and quickly resizes itself to its tiny form.

2. I need to reset the password or create a new admin account without a install DVD. I tried rebooting and holding the alt+s keys to get into command-line but the key combo didn't seem to work. Is there a trick to this?

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried making the dock smaller or using the hide dock function you add that extra room to you screen to try to achieve what you want?

If you want to get into a command line when booting OS X you need to boot up using the command "-s" without quotes of cause.

hey danny, thanks for the -s tip.

For the resolution, I fixed it by changing defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleDisplayScaleFactor back to 1. I guess the previous owner reduced it to .7.
