My MBP was delivered to a friend's house. I asked him to turn it on for me to see if it's ok and all...
He told me he had to set it up and register it. When I get the MBP will I be able to re-run de setup or edit the information he registered?
Thx

You'd need to reinstall OSX Tiger to do that.

why in the crap would you let your friend do that? you get absolutely no benefit if it works well or doesn't work at all.

reinstalling osx is not too painful of an experience.
if someone else had access to my machine, i would. its possible he could put low level software on there that you wouldn't see... -
It's a friend of mine, he didn't install anything he just turned it on and the system asked him to put some information and some initial set up info...
I asked him to turn it on to test the system since we will meet in a month from now only and I wanted it to be tested already...
Anyways I'll try to reinstall OSx it maybe a good way to learn more about OSx and Mac since I'm coming from a PC world.
Thanks all for your info!!!! -

im sure you can change it. its just like your name and some other basic info.
but in all honesty, reinstalling osx is not a bad experience (like reinstalling windows)
basically, once it starts, you just let it go for a while and do something else
when you come back, swap out dvd 1 for dvd 2, leave again.
then when its done, you can come back and set all the registration stuff up.
in windows, the installation asks you for stupid stuff every 5 minutes, and it will actually stop and wait for you each time, forcing you to sit there for an hour while it copies files over, instead of just asking you all the questions at the end... -
Anyways, just reinstall it and fill in all your information. I'm assuming you're very new to the Mac world, so here's two articles that I suggest everytime for switchers. They're very easy to understand and very helpful in the transition from Windows to Mac OS X. Enjoy the articles and your new Mac!
