MacBook Pro :: Password And Computer Name Change?
Oct 10, 2009
my ex girlfriend set up my macbook pro 17", i didnt have a problem with this, untill we went our different ways.
i want to take her side off the laptop, and change the computer name,
she wont tell me her password for her side....
at the moment it comes up as "donnas sex whore". at the time it was funny now its not.
can i just put in the 2 discs i had with the computer and restart it all?
it runs on a Mac OS X version 10.5.4. with 2.33 ghz intel core 2 duo.

Is the password for the computer itself (the one required when you want to, for example, install software updates) different from your Apple I.D. password? What happens if you've forgotten the computer-specific password - can it be re-set?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010)

My MB Pro has 1 user login, it's never been changed, re-created, etc.I can login to the laptop no problem, I can goto the User control panel and change the PW and it shows the single user as the admin.However I can't install software. It comes up and asks me for the password which is then rejected.Beyond reloading the OS not sure what options are. Did a permissions repair but no other luck.

I'm currently locked out of my Power Mac G5. While trying to install the latest Java for Mac OS x 10.5 Update 6 from Software Update, my admin. password was rejected as invalid. When I try to change my password in Accounts, my old password is rejected. I've entered this password a thousand times, and, yeah, I'm slightly senile, but caps lock isn't on.

I recently got my computer fixed and ended up getting a new one. it is a mac book laptop. I changed the password before it got sent and i completely forgot it. They backed my new laptop up with my old hard drive so now i got my old stuff on the new one. I want to download this application so i can fix this .zip file but i need the admin password. I've tried using the install discs but they tell me to enter the admin. I've tried putting the install disc in and pushing c on start up but it just freezes on the white screen with the apple. Is there something wrong with my computer? should i contact the insurance company who i dealt with?

My son has an account on my macbook and recently he got into some trouble at school and I need to change his account password. Only problem is he will not tell me his password so I can make the changes. Even though Im the administrator I am not able to change his password without first typing in his.

I have forgotten my mac pro user password and can't seem to follow instructions for changing it.Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.When I try to do this the arrow doesnt take me anywhere. I just return to the original field asking me for the password I don't remember.Â
