Administrator Password
I installed service pack 2 on Windows XP on my Satellite pro M-30 and no I cant get to start Windows again. I have tried everything, also to repair Windows but it ask for the Administrator password. I have used the one I had but it don't work and I have seen that Thoshiba is not installing any password so I tried to push enter without any password, with no luck. So what can I do?
Hi,
Had the same problem (in another context, see below if you want).
Solved it with the program you find with the following link:
'www.bellamyjc.net/fr/pwdnt.html'
(It allows you to deactivate the password function.)
(Suggested by p_ping on 'www.forum-microsoft.org')
Good luck!

Hi,
After changing the default Administrator Password in the RPD, I ran the Cryptotools utility for both BI publisher and BI Scheduler to make sure that the BI Presentation services can identify the CredentialStore.
There is another xml file, xmlp-server-config.xml in the OracleBIData\xmlp\xmp\admin\configuration folder, which has a property name "BI_SERVER_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD with its value being the default password for Administrator. The password here is in clear text, not encrypted. Is this how it's supposed to be?
I do not see anywhere in the Docs. where there's an encryption procedure for this file.
I certainly do not want to have this file with the password in clear text.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks,

I recently bought a used macbook pro. I can pretty much do everything I need on it until I want to change setting and such things. Then it asks me for an administrator password which I do not know or have. On top of that I do not have the OS disc either. Is there a way I can SAFELY reset or delete the password so I can set my own without the possibility of screwing thing up. LIke I said I can do most anything. I figured this out when attempting to tether it to my smartphone for internet access (I do all the time from my desktop but my desktop is a PC so things are a little different) I am a very new mac user, I have always been a devoted PC user until now. I have to say I am really loving my macbook pro I may just stick with mac from now on (if I can get this problem figured out without too much stress.
I am looking for the safest and best way to fix this issue where nothing I do would mess up the laptop. I can use it now and I do not want that to change, I just want to be able to change my setting and set a password of my own. PLEASE HELP, THANX!Hi
There actually is a slightly easier way in OS X 10.5 or greater.
1. Start up in single-user mode (hold Command-S as the computer starts up).
2. Type: mount -uw /
3. Press Return.
4. Type this:
passwd (user's short name)
Replace "(user's short name)" with the short name of the user account whose password you wish to reset. If you are not sure what the account name is, you can get a list of user names by typing: ls /Users
5. Press Return.
6. Enter a new user password.
7. Press Return.
8. Type: reboot
9. Press Return. -
My Macbook was hacked by somebody right after activating downloaded VLC player.
I couldn’t control my machine. Every thing was messed up! Finally after reboot I realized that even my administration password was changed. Stupid hint I was able to reed: What located in box above low case ? I used my friends computer and founded hot to fix my problem using Unix commands to reboot in a single user mode. I founded a lot of different solutions which had prity the same beginnings but very complicated continuation, which, I understood will force me to cach during restoration anuther crap – time bomb in my mac! Finaly I did restor. somehow. But still feel somebodyies presents. Safary messed up – I will send you a log Itunes – messed up. Speaker in a top menu – grayed, and I can’t control my volume. But the most triky thing – bouth my Apple keybords – internal and mostly bluetouth external also working and typing wired! I am sorry for my spelling, because I cant check spell for Mac’s Word (in Microsoft it was F7) I have also several attacks from my neighbors by community I know their names, because they are somethere very close to me – I can see them throuth FI-FI connection. They often kick-me out from my place and started to use my resaurces. And also Mackeeper make me a hard time!
In Microsoft times u just reinstalled computer – clean installetion from corporate licensed disk. But now I am a beginner in MAC – I love it! But a lot of new and triky – at this way
Fore example – my goal – to do fool Macbook backup at external USB drive using boot srartup option and make my life yaser in case of crash. But now, I don’t know if I can trust recommended program Carbon copy cloner – Ms. Bombich?
I am very sorry for my spelling, because I feel somebodies presents, who playin with me.
Final question Do I need some antivirus Mac compatable which is update paches, service packs? How to map defolt documents folder not to a local, but to external USB?
Esquse me for a lot of questions, but I am beginner in MAC, and I LOVE it!
PS. Good news. Looks like Safari came back! Somebody, probably allredy helping!
But my interface qute different from original – so something still wrong!Didn't really read much at all of your post. Much, much too long, irrelevant details and & no paragraphs.

How to Reset Windows 7 Administrator Password on My Laptop
I have windows 7 Home Premium and i forgot the administrator password. whenever i start the windows 7, it asks for the password to log in. unfortunately, i forgot it. what to do?
I forgot the administrator's password. I'm not able to log in to windows. It says, "did you forgot the password?" whenever i try to log in. How do i reset forgotten Windows 7 admin password without losing data?In your
your situation,you can recover your password form Safe Mode.Windows 7 system has a built-in administrator account that is created during Windows installation and disable by default, which has no password in it. You need to enable that account before forgetting
your other admin account password. Otherwise your built-in administrator account won’t appear in the screen in this tip.
Step 1: Start your win 7 computer and press “F8″ while the computer boots up. Scroll down to “Safe Mode with Command Prompt” with the arrow keys on the keyboard and press “Enter.” Your computer starts in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
Step 2: Select the Administrator account that appear in the screen, then enter command prompt. Type: net user ****** 123456 and enter (****** is the account name and 123456 is the new password), it will show you a message that” the command completed successfully.
Step 3: Restart your win 7 computer, then you can log in as ****** with the password 123456. You can go to control Panel to change your account password if necessary.
If this
way doesn't work you can try a tool named Windows Password Recovery Tool Ultimate. -
I am a macbook user latest update & cannot get beyond the password - have used Adobe password & administrator password but the "ok" keeps jumping - hint: says "black & white" Very frustrating.
This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

I have an older version of iTunes on my office computer and it will not allow me to upgrade to the newer version without an administrative password. How can I get around this???
If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Can I use the same administrator password on multiple devices

Resetting a forgotten Administrator Password
I'm helping a friend who has an iMAC G5 which currently runs Mac OS X 10.4.8, (Tiger), and has forgotten his administrator password. The original discs for this machine are Tiger Mac OS X 10.2.3. We've already tried using the install disc (disc 1). We put the disc in and restarted the system, holding down the C key when the tone was heard and continued to hold it until the spinning gear appeared. It seems to load the CD because we could hear it grind as the system started up and we noticed small file-folder icons appear in the center of the screen with a question mark, but eventually it seemed to load the OS from teh hard drive and started as usual, with a Finder window open browsing the CD. From everything we've read, we should have instead seen the installation program where we'd have the chance to reset the administrator password. Can anyone offer some advice? Thanks!
Hi LLApple, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Yes, you should've sen the Installer, but...
I wouldn't try changing Tiger's Passwords with a Jaguar or Panther Install Disk at all.

Bought eMac with 10.4.3 but no OS disks - need administrator password
Just bought an eMac (1.25 GHz) with system 10.4.3 installed from the local Goodwill computer store. Boots and runs fine. However, to load some CDs and run DVDs, it requires the administrator password, which I don't know. The administrator is listed as "Owner Owner," and no OS disks or documentation were included.
How do I reset the administrator password if I don't know the original password and I don't have the OS CDs?I've never used any of these, but one or more may work for you.
Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
*Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
* mount -uw /
* rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
* shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

LaserJet MFP M476nw - Administrator Password Reset
I've had my new printer now for about 1 month and on receipt I set the Administrator password. Unfortunately I can't find where I wrote the password down and now can't change my fax settings without it. Is there some way I can reset to factory default and start all over again?
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.Hi @RubyANU
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.

How to Reset Windows 2008/R2 Domain Administrator Password
How to Reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain Administrator password if forgot or lost it?
It is annoying and bad to forget a Windows Server 2008/r2 Domain administrator login password. It is troublesome unless you have that Windows Server 2008/r2 password reset disk. We can still find several tricks to reset Windows Server Domain password but they require a mass of operations and waste a lot of time. For example, you can reset Windows Server 2008/R2 domain administrator password with an installation disk but it requires you to type a mass of command line. So today I want to share everyone an omnipotent method to reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain/local administrator password. You need the following 3 things.
An accessible PC.
A USB/CD/DVD flash drive.
The Windows password reset tool Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer.
Then it requires 4 steps as below:
Step 1: Download and install Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer into that accessible computer.
Step 2: Burn it to the flash drive.
Step 3: Boot your Windows Server computer from the flash drive.
Step 4: Follow its instruction and click “Reset Password” button to reset your Windows 2008/R2 Domain/Local administrator password.
More details in this video: Windows Server 2008 R2 Password Reset - Reset Domain or Local Password.It wasn't difficult to reset the domain password and I think Microsoft's policy of not providing an easy forward way is to create an
illusion of security which is not there. Linux systems that are much more secure that MSFT software allow easy password reset when physical access is there so why not include the same tools in System Repair tools or using F8?
Anyhow, this guide helped me reset the password in 5 minutes. Read the bottom of it to find the scripted / automatic version of the process:
