How do I change admin name and password on install for PS 7.0 for Mac

I have an old 7.0 full photoshop disc from a business that closed a couple of years ago. When I try and install it asks for a administrator name and password. The person who used to work for the company and install the programs on our computers is no longer around. Is there I way I can bypass this or change the name and password so I can install Photoshop on my new Mac laptop? Thank you.

Change the password with your OS X install disk. See
here for details.

Somehow my MacBookPro iCloud account has a different name and password from my other devices. Even my date of birth is listed incorrectly. I have tried but can't seem to change this info to match up with my other devices. Can someone help?

I have a PC (Windows 7)
Not sure when mobile me changed, but it was this weekend that my storage etc. lapsed (I have paid to keep storage with icloud). So i assume this has something to with it stopping.

HT5517 I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about.

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

Delete all apps that were purchased with the former ID and renown load or purchase them with your ID.

I got an iTunes account years ago with an ID and password...them later got a mobile me and password...now I have an iPad and downloaded iCloud and I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad because different account name and password from my mobile me.

I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad now that I have added iCloud. The problem is that my iTunes account has different name and password from my mobile me account. Can I change my iTunes account name and password so that they will transfer to my iPad with the mobile me / iCloud account? I need to figure out how to make the two accounts one or iCloud has to be able to accept my iTunes account with years of music and movies.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

Dreamweaver Update forgets Account Names and Passwords?

This morning I did the Adobe updater thing and it snagged five applications, including Dreamweaver which I was working on.
I closed Dreamweaver and hit [Continue] and it finished. I'm now running Dreamweaver 11, Build 4916.
I re-launched Dreamweaver and made a few edits to the page I was working on and saved those, and got an FTP error.
A little snooping reveals that there is now no account name or password listed in my Site settings. And it's that way for EVERY site!
Okay, calm down... d e e p breaths... Let's re-import the Sites using the old .ste files, right? They were created with the selection to save account names and passwords, too. Point-point, click-click, building the new [2] site and... edit the page, save the changes and Boom! Ftp error, again.
How can I fix this, please?

Thank you so much! I was afraid I was going to have to contact a dozen server administrators and recharge a dozen different passwords and then make sure that everyone up and down the line had the new ones, etc.
I'm going to look into finding the article you mentioned.
Thanks, again!

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

I can no longer use my aol on mac mail. When I set up the aol account name and password I get a message that says "Unable to verify account name or password". This is on all my Apple devices. Seems like an AOL server issue but no help from them!

I can no longer make my AOL e mail work with Mac Mail on all my devices. When I try to set up the account and put in the correct aol account and password I get the message "Unable to verify account name or password". I know the account name and password is correct as I can open the AOL e mail page on Safari. I have changed the password, and it still does not work. AOL tech support has been no help. AOL email worked for years but last week due to suspected spam activity AOL locked my AOL account. I got that straightened out but now i cannot set it up on any of my devices: Macbook Air, Ipad, I pad mini and iPhone 6 without that message. I took everything to Apple store and everything is set up correctly on my devices. AOL tech support is no help and keeps giving me different solutions and answers, none of which has worked. Any solutions out there? All my Apple Software is up to date on all my devices

Delete your Gmail account from the Mail/Contacts/Calendars settings page, and then add it back in using the new Gmail password.

I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

Mac Book Pro
1TB Time Capsule.
Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
(And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

Simply reset the Time Machine.
See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

I am trying to set up a genius bar appointment on my computer and it tells me "Sorry your session has expired. Please sign in again using your Apple ID account name and password" I know they are correct and use them to sign in on my phone.

Hi I am trying to set a appointment for the Genus bar on my computer. I know for a fact that my login is correct. I have used it to sign in here and make a apointment (had to do it on my phone). When I get to the appointment area it tells me to resign, and tells me "SORRY" Your lass session has expired. Pleae sign in using your apple id account name and password. I have tried resetting my password and all. I am running Internet Explorer version 11 and my windows is 7. Any help would be nice...

ok.. I tried this three times and kept getting that access denied thing when I clicked post my questions. So now maybe I wont have to typ this a fifth time....
I have a MAC computer with Sync. Was set up under sync Beta. I have an Android phone synced to it that was synced using the pair this device function. It works perfectly. I just got a new Android Tablet and am trying to add it to my sync and it does not seem to have the pair my device function. It insists I log into my sync account. So I try it and it tells me invalid userid/password. I verify and it is the exact email address userid that shows as being my sync account on the MAC. I verify the password on the MAC and it tests out fine. Try the tablet again and invalid.. So I try to reset my password on the tablet and am told my email address/account name does not exist. I just verified it AND Synced my MAC using it!! I have my recovery Key but there is no place to input it into the tablet. There is no place on tablet to enter the link device codes. How can my account be valid and in use on two devices but invalid and nonexistant on the new one? And How do I get the New one to sync with other two?

Changed account name and old music files no longer can play

I changed my account name to an e-mail address that I currently use. since I moved the old one I could no longer access any longer. Well they have a feature to do that so I took it so it would be easier to remember the account and password. thing is since I changed none of the songs that I purchased with the old account name can be played any longer. they need to be Reauthorized.
No biggie right just type in the old account name and password and I'll be on my way. Wrong :P
According to the music store the old account does not exist. Well of course not that is because I changed it. I check to see my account history under the NEW account and it has all the files I ever downloaded since I first installed iTunes! If this is the case why on earth can I not play the files purchased under my old account under the new accounts name! did I make a mistake by not deauthroizing my computer before changing account? because it is not mentioned in the instructions to do so! Grrr... normally I'd just say oh well but it's most of my iTunes library!
Pleas help!

Problem Resolved!
I was sent back an e-mail stating that I did not make a second account but changed my account name from (accounts will be withheld for security) one to the other. Problem?
Files downloaded from the other account name would not work with the one that I was currently using.
Issues further complicating the matter. My computer recently was having Power supply issues and I reformated my computer several times. Not realizing that this left iTunes Music store saying that I had 5 computers authorized on my account because I had not deauthorized any of the computers each time. Couldn't really, windows crashed out and I couldn't get to it. So when I got everything ironed out on my computer. I couldn't play any of my songs becaus I had reached maximum authorizations! even Deauthorizing and reauthorizing didn't work.
Solution:: Login to your (working) account and go to your account summary. Click on the button that says "Deauthorize ALL computers" This will wipe all computers that you had associated with your account to play your songs. Not that big of deal because all you have to do is log back in. (BIG deal to ppl that don't know your password, which they shouldn't be playing yoru songs anyway!)
Once I resetted my authorization on all computers and logged back in everything was fine.
Now I think the tech that sent me the e-mail did do one thing for me. He must have enabled my old account I used to have and linked it to my current one. Because instead of my old account saying it does not exist it says it works now! yet I still login to and access my account with my new e-mail account!
So even though I would like to say everything was within my power to do myself the whole time. That is not the case. The tech did help me associate the two accounts from withing iTunes. So I can now listen to my songs at anytime I want and not be told I have 5+ computers when I only own 2 LOL

I need to change user name and password on my macbook pro

Can't connect to WPA protected wifi. Prompt says choose a certificate OR enter account name and password? Huh

I cannot connect to wifi using my MacBook, my phone and Xbox work but there is no prompt for the WPA password and when I go to the diagnostics page it prompts me to choose a certificate or enter an account name and password? What account name are they referring to? I have entered everything I could think of; the actual connection name and password, the Internet provider login email, my MacBook account name as password... What the heck. After I try, it says connecting for awhile, then fails...

Select the network from the Airport icon drop down in the menu. Then put in the password.

Unable to verify account name and password

I cant seem to integrate my twitter account on my macbook, when i try to login it says "unable to verify account name and password".
Help Please???
Thank You.

Try this, it worked for me:
System Preferences --> Mail, Contacts, & Calendars --> Remove your Twitter account by clicking on the at the bottom of the left hand pane in the window.
Go to your Twitter account and under your Settings --> Apps, revoke access to OS X Integration and click 'Save'.
Return to your System Preferences where you removed your account and attempt to add the account again. After you enter your @username and password, attempt to use the app in the notification window.
It fixed the problem for me and even gave access to the OS X Integration back to my apps on my Twitter account.
Prior to this, the Mail, Contacts, & Calendars would tell me that it was 'Unable to verify account username and password'. Very frustrating.
I hope this helps you!
