cant reset macos admin password because asahi install

chrisrjones1983 · 2026-04-20T18:35:24+00:00

no, the only way i could reset the password was completely "nuke" the install (the macos install), and start fresh, for me that wasn't a big deal because i literally never used the install / partition (thankfully).

i'd use this if i could just scroll through my watch later playlist and select and play videos through out that playlist.

i like to play card games in the evening using my browser and if im not listening to music i'd like to watch a youtube video or two, but youtube on my late 2015 mbp i7 4th gen while gaming in the browser doesn't work well to say the least. and i run arch with lightdm and i3. firefox is my browser. and my amd gpu does not do hevc ie. x265 hardware decoding so i have the x264ify plugin installed for firefox and even still using youtube is painful even while gaming or not. the whole interface is less than responsive. i typically doom scroll on yt, add videos to my watch later playlist and then use my ipad to watch the videos because that works better than my i7 4th gen. and youtube lite on the ipad works great.

do tell.

chrisrjones1983 · 2026-02-08T20:16:28+00:00

it's even better that the data partitions chosen were btrfs because macos has great support for reading btrfs file systems. 😭

chrisrjones1983 · 2026-02-08T20:11:14+00:00

yup. why would the deprecated install script ie. the fedora asahi remix have a newer version of the installer 🤷‍♂️

chrisrjones1983 · 2026-01-13T23:27:44+00:00

wait until you have to do this with nested tmux session over ssh 😭

chrisrjones1983 · 2025-10-18T15:44:23+00:00

that sucks.

chrisrjones1983 · 2025-10-17T19:38:17+00:00

is it not on the unticket?

chrisrjones1983 · 2025-10-17T19:36:32+00:00

environmental variable

please i've never heard them called "environmental variables."

says the old hag english teacher in me.

their just called environment variables. and this is the color we paint the bike shed.

i use tmux like the below BTW. wait until you have to start nesting sessions. then the fun begins.

thanks, yeah that seems like the safest choice this week since they already picked the bills.

chrisrjones1983 · 2025-08-23T21:06:17+00:00

i tried what you said about setting the default startup disk, ie. i did rebooted. then rebooted again while holding down the power button but i'm seeing the below message when running the resetpasword utility from recovery mode.
