Step 4: Insert the Mac OS X CD, then double-click Install Mac OS X
Step 5: Set up and register Mac OS X
When you set up Mac OS X, you create a user account. This user is an administrator. As an
administrator, you can add user accounts, set up Mac OS X for multiple users, change certain
system settings, and have greater access to the computer.
If you set up Mac OS X for several users, you need to type a user name and password to gain
access to Mac OS X. To administer your computer you need to log in as the user you created when
you set up Mac OS X, so you should remember this user name and password.
