Mar 5, 2012

My mother recently passed away and I've inherited her Mac Pro. She was the official "administrator" and no one knows her password. Is there any way to reset the password without knowing the original password? Or, is there a way to reset the whole laptop to factory settings? I'm not concerned about losing content from the laptop.

OS X :: Password - Is There Any Way To Reset It Completely

Oct 2, 2009

I bought a macbook 3yrs ago and I let my brother use it and he locked it and I dont know what to do.

I tried to put the osx cd in and press c or option on startup and all I get is a lock asking for a password. On normal logon it asks for user name and password. He remembers the user but not the password. Is there any way to reset it completely?

He deleted my user and saved my files on his side.

I want my pictures and things but I dont have to have them

OS X :: Can't Reset Password For BIOS

Oct 25, 2009

I just recently got an iBook G3. I found it in my towns recycling center and brought it home. The user on it does not have admin privileges. Seeing how it's old and is running 10.2 I was just going to install some sort of Linux on it. I went to go boot into a CD and it came up with a grey screen with a password prompt? I don't have the password. Does the same thing if I try to boot into single user mode.

OS X V10.4 :: Cannot Reset Admin Password 10.4.11

Jun 11, 2012

I have a PowerPC G3 iBook, running OS X 10.4.11, which I bought a couple of years ago from a work colleague.  It works great, but I want to change my broadband provider software, and need to input the Admin password to have the software installed.  I have forgotten the Administrator password, so after trawling the internet I have tried to use the install disc that came with the iBook to reset the Admin password.

The install disc is version 10.2.1, and it lets me start (by pressing the C button on restart) and access the Change Password facility.  I have changed the password, saved the changes and restarted the iBook.  But when I then try to install the new broadband software, the new Admin password I've just set is not recognised!  I have seen posts on the internet giving instructions on how to 'hack' after restarting and pressing the Command and S button, but I'm not confident in doing this because I've also seen posts on forums where people with 10.4.11 have had LOADS of issues after doing so! Do I need to try and get a new install disc nearer to 10.4.11, or is there another solution??  I don't want to damage a perfectly good iBook!

Info:
iBook G3, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

OS X :: Reset Administrator Password - Root Changes

Jan 13, 2009

I just bought a used Emac running 10.3.9. The previous owner does not remember the administrator password nor did I realize how important it is to have. I have the original install discs and did boot using the disc. I then went under the install menu and chose reset password. I changed the user password but have been unsuccessful at changing the admin password. The drop down menu in password reset gave me the option of Administrator (root), Application, or finally user. I have read a couple of articles cautioning not to change or work with root changes.
