You should be able to mount the disk image of the mac using vmware tools and delete the /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone file. Upon the next boot of the VM, you will be prompted to create a new admin user whereby you can choose a new unique short name (to avoid stomping on an existing account) and use that admin account to reset the other user's password.

i installed snow L successfuly. The first time i installed it the network worked instantly, After i rebooted the network showed an auto ip address. I have tried everything to get it to get back on my network to no avail. What am i missing. it is set to dhcp, the vmware virtual network settings are correct. i dont know how to make this thing work again on the network. But as far as the os function, that it does. From the time i hit the power on to readiness is under a minute!!!! Better than windows 7 on boot!!!! all i need now is how to restore the network to full functionality.
Hi Andrie, don`t know if you still need help, but it seems that it may be that hardware virtualisation may not be enabled in your computers bios settings. Have a look and see. Are you trying to install SL off the SL 10.6.0 dvd? If so, is it the 10a432 version?
Its the best one for AMD cpu`s, and I found it to be successful on my Phenom 2. Also try the snow_leopard_legacy iso, rather than the EFI.
The vmware snow leopard 10.6 (experimental) image may be helpful in the initial setting up.
Hello this is my first time using etcher so please bear with me here but im trying to make a bootable snow leopard mac os on a usb drive on my windows computer and this is the error I got from etcher, the ISO im using is a snow leopard iso i found online but im not sure what a partition table is the while the mac did boot from this usb, halfway through installing with this usb drive it runs into an error so im not sure what the fix here would be, any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I know this is not on topic, but I was wondering if you had a list of steps from a wiped hdd to a working mac. I actually am also trying to do snow leopard. I have yet to find an iso, but I have a dmg.
