Intel Mac :: Forgotten The Login Password At Start-up - OS X Lion
Apr 6, 2012
My father who is 91 purchased an iMac in January used it once. He is now just setting it up again after he has recently moved and this will be his only computer… finally getting rid of the PC world of Bill Gates and into a real computer. However, he has forgotten the login password at start-up which was set-up at the Apple Store. Can I reboot the machine with a CD (have one for Snow Leopard) and change administration details this way even though is running OS X Lion?Â
I had an older 2008 mac running on leoperd so I made a backup as a second user account using time machine to the macbook pro i just bout running on 10.7.4 now it wont lamme use the same password I had on my old mac to acccess the account how do I reset the password without loosing data almost my whole life store is in there I have all the cd's
Lost track of what I did yesterday when I was mucking about in Accounts but now when I start up or even log out and login I have to provide my password. How do I get rid of that login step ?
Since installing Yosemite 10.10.1, every time I turn on my MacBook Pro I have to Select User and then login with my password. I don't want this, since I'm the only user and it wastes time. This didn't used to happen before installing Yosemite. I can't find the button in Security and Privacy that turns this off!
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I am having trouble remembering th initial password I set up for my mac when I first bought it. I am having difficulty downloading programs because I cannot remember my key chain password (login password).ow to reset it?
Is there a way to have a different mail password instead of using the one that you use to login to Lion directly? Currently the two are the same login password = mail password.I'd like to have a different password for the two.Is this possible whether via command line or otherwise?

I am trying to open an Adobe document on my Mac 10.4.11. It asks me for a password (that I don't recall setting up); I've tried every password I've ever had, to no avail. I'm wasting too much trying to find the information I need.
I re-installed lion on my new mini to get to Setup Assistant to transfer files from my older iMac. The transfer went well, I think. However, I cannot login. I have tried no password (the way the old iMac was set up). I have tried every password that I can think of including my Apple ID password. I did not set up any password for the new computer, but it did offer a hint for a password that it wiil not accept. How in the world did it come up with a password with out my consent? and how can I access my new computer?
I have a g-drive slim but can't remember the password because I haven't used it in a long time. Checked g-drive website URL...Also checked Apple Support for Time Machine and nothing on how to reset/override.
I am trying to access websites like facebook, gmail and other websites that need a login and password. I think it is a problem with my Wifi configuration, is there a way that I can reset my configuration?
I forgot my login password to my macbookpro laptop and I'm trying to retrieve the old password or make a new password so I can login and use my computer
