May 25, 2012

While working on my macbookpro with lion, I got a request to write my admin password for uninstall of an app. The thing is that my usual password didn't work. So I rebooted my mac and surprise, surprise: none of the user accounts (3), including root were accepting their own passwords! So I made CMD+R, Terminal, resetpassword, and changed them all, including ALCs reset: No effect on any user login! still gives me the shake's and after 3 trials the password hint...

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 :: Computer Freezes - Must Reset?

Jul 15, 2009

After having this Mac for a month, I've been surprised for the past few days to find that after an hour to three hours of use, the computer might freeze and then state that it must reset. Is this the result of any certain common activity in Mac OS that I could avoid just by changing my usage habits?

OS X :: How To Access Computer To Reset Password

Dec 7, 2010

I got this Mac pro with osx. It's a old business computer, so I don't have the login password for the user or administrator. I had this installation CD, and it worked fine when I tried holding "c" down while restarting the computer. But I couldn't fix the problem at the moment so I turned it of again. Now it won't start up as usual with the "Choose language menu" so I can't get access to the computer. I really don't know why it does it, and I'm so lost right now. How do I get access to the computer now, and reset the computer and password?

OS X :: How Do I Reset Computer And Administrative Settings?

Mar 5, 2009

Okay, so here is how my question comes about... I have already searched and could not find links to other threads..

I bought a G4 desktop from a guy on craigslist about a week ago and I want to upgrade from 10.3.9 to the newer 10.5. He has an administrative account on the computer and whenever I try and load the 10.5, it asks for his password. I called the guy wondering what his password was and he told me. I tried entering that in and it will not work. Now the guy will not answer his phone or his e-mail address. I know he was the original owner because of the information on the computer and the name on the business card he exchanged for mine.

I would really like to upgrade my OS but I need to know how to go about reseting the computer to erase 100% of everything on the computer. Can someone please help me, I am new to Mac and I don't really know what to do!!!

Intel Mac :: Find Computer Password So That Can Reset It?

Apr 7, 2012

Yesterday we set up the computer at the Apple Store. When entering the Password for the computer, apparently we thought we were entering one thing when in fact we entered something else. Now I can't log into the computer to install new printer software, reset/change my password or anything else. I have tried looking through the Manual for the iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011 and can't find anything for resetting the password, finding it in the Keychain Access, etc. The computer is a waste if I can't reset the password to install the apps I need on it.

OS X :: 10.2 Password Reset - Computer Stuck On Login Screen

Apr 6, 2009

I have a colleague who is still running 10.2 (yea I know, time to upgrade, but they haven't felt the need for it yet I guess). Anyway, someone changed and forgot, or someone did it to be a jerk, either way they are unable to update any software or even log in. Just wondering how to rest the password. The computer is stuck on the log in screen currently and they can't access anything.

OS X :: Electric Shock Reset Clock / Wireless / Shut Off The Computer?

Jun 15, 2010

I don't know if this is something to be worried about but I notice that when the tip of the display port cord ( from the ACD ) touches the metal frame of my MacBook Pro there is a tiny blue arch of electricity visible. Well, I just bumped that cord into the frame of the MBP and as soon as that happened the computer completely shut off, it just went to a black screen and turned back on when I connected it via AC outlet. When the computer started back up the clock was messed up ( 2008 date ) and it had forgotten all of my WIFI passwords.

I was just wondering why this happens?

PowerPC :: Trackpad On IBook G4 Completely Disabled

Apr 1, 2008

I have an ibook g4 14" since 2003. It always worked perfectly until now. The trackpad is completely disabled. I cannot install, use an external mouse, or use the mouse track from the mac. I found out what the problem is, then trying with the keyboard, I use ctl & O (open) and I got to the preferences, then I type trackpad sensitivity, and it opens. In the trackpad says trackpad gestures: and the Clicking is unchecked, what keys from the keyboard can I use to check that box? And in the trackpack options:
The Ignore accidental trackpad input is checked
and
Ignore trackpad when mouse is present is unchecked.

OS X :: Using Safari To AutoFill For My Passwords / Skip Login Page Completely?

Apr 7, 2009

What I'd like to do is have Safari use AutoFill for my passwords, but not store the passwords in my login keychain. I'd like to have a separate keychain that I can unlock from the menu bar that allows Safari access to passwords that it otherwise would not have. And I'd want it to work seamlessly with the Safari AutoFill. I tried manually adding a password in the Keychain Access Utility, which I don't want to have to do, but even then when I told it to AutoFill (although I'd like it to AutoFill automatically), I had to give Safari permission to access my keychain.

For example, if I went to Facebook, it would present the usual blank password field. But if I unlocked my keychain and then went to Facebook, the password field would already be filled in.

Even more ideally, I'd like it to skip the login page completely (as if "Remember me" had been checked), but I don't think that's possible.

MacBook :: How To Reset A Mac All Over

Jul 4, 2012

Recently I bought a new Mac and I'd like to gift my old Macbook Pro (running MacOS 10.7.4) to my wife, so she can renew her old Macbook (white, Core2 Duo generation, running MacOS 10.6.8). 

The data and apps migration from my old Macbook Pro to the new one was smooth and faultless. But migrating data and apps from my wife's computer to my old Macbook Pro didn't. All the apps were transfered but not the data (no big deal) nor the Mail (the Apple's mail app) account. 

As I didn't sign out the old Macbook Pro from iCloud or Mail, I guess there was a conflict when receiving the new data from my wife's computer. Obviously, I want to keep the old Macbook Pro along with MacOS 10.7.4, so I would't restore it.

MacBook (13-inch Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.4), iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1
