OS X Mavericks :: Forgot Password For Intel IMac - How To Reset Or Turn It Off
Aug 31, 2014
What do I do if I have forgotten the password for my Intel iMac? I'm using System X v.10.9.4. Is there any way to get around it and reset it or turn it off?
Info:
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
I forgot the Name and Password I set up to log into my imac. It is an older imac, from 2006 and I can't remember which version operating system. I have tried to use the install disc to reset the password, but it does not allow me to do so. Is there a way to reset the name and password without the install disc? For as long as I can remember whenever I would turn on my mac there would be an image that I had chosen and then a field to enter password. Just recently I turned on my mac and the image or avatar was no longer coming up and it asked for Name and Password. I have tried every combination I can think of and nothing works. I have tried to reset using my install disc, but it says that I do not have a password to reset.
Info: iMac, Mac OS 9.2.x, unable to verify operating system

holding down the command +s key when we hear the tone of imac at the startup and then insert some command line.
The issue with me is that i tried it in mnay ways but i cant get to the terminaleverytime at the startup i use apple+s key ,nothing happens ,it loads normally and gets to the login screen, keys seems to be fine what can be the issue and is it there any way to get to the terminal w/o having cd etc.
Have done something wrong and changed the password to start the computer. Want to change it with my Apple Id but it wont let me. I can type my Apple ID but it dont let me change it or something else. I cant start the PC anymore. What can i do?
