 Hello people of the Internet, the other day I went dumpster diving an I fond an ancient eMac, when I got home I got a power cable for it when I plugged it in and turned it on it had a password on it. I am trying to bypass password in recovery mode and terminal but none of it is working   When I try to use recovery mode nothing happens it just goes to the normal login screen.  And when I try to go to terminal by pressing command S,  instead of saying root in front of the little line thingy so I can type in the command it says sh-2.05a#. I did the  command anyway but it kept giving me back error. And I try to partition my hard drive and put macOS tiger on it but my Internet will not let me back up the  hard drive that's the only one that I have and I don't want to race at all so I am asking you people of the Internet what I can do to bypass the password thanks  I changed it anyway but you kept giving me back ever. And I try to partition my hard drive and put macOS tiger on it but my Internet will not let me back up find  hard drive and that's the only one that I have and I don't want to  erase it all so I am asking you people of the Internet what I can do to bypass the password thanks.
