older company imac, admin lockout, sl v 1.12.9, cant log in

[UnkleFritz]

for some reason... sl 1.12.9 was already installed.

because there is old company admin password, i cant update anything.

sl log in bogs down at verifying protocol version, then gives message: unable to connect to second life. system may be down. try again in a few minutes...

i'm running mac os 10.4.11

anyone have ideas? a workaround?

thanks :)

You really need to use a different computer. 1.12.9 is so outdated you won't be able to see mesh or avatar skinning even if you can get connected, and you won't be able to load any current viewers on a Mac running Tiger even if you get around the admin password.

that viewer uses the old message system, it won't work successfully with a simulator version that doesn't match. if you can find an external drive that can plug in, you could install a fresh copy of Tiger on that, or even Leopard if the hardware can handle it.

the old 1.23.5 viewer is the last one you are likely to have any success running on a Mac of that vintage.
