How do I get rid of "disk password" user?

I recently reformatted my mid 2012 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.1 . I have FileVault enabled and under "Users / groups" > "display login window as" I checked "name and password". After checking that option I still have "Disk Password" display as a user to login with in addition to my regular user name. If click on "disk password user" I am able to get to a screen that will ask for my username and password. When I enter that information it will log me into my regular user name. How do I get rid of "disk password" user?

The safest thing would be to deactivate FileVault and then reactivate it.

  • How do you get rid of master password promt box?

    How do you get rid of the master password prompt box without getting rid of using the master passwords feature? I like that my passwords are locked so no one can see them but I get annoyed when I have to type my master password in every time I open up a web page. Would like to only type in master password when I want to view my saved passwords. Does any one know how to remove the annoying box?

    Sorry, that isn't the only purpose of the Master Password feature, "locking" your Saved Password dialog from being viewed.

  • How Do I Get Rid Of Disk Partitions/Images?

    Hey folks,
    When I bought my iMac flat panel from a friend, he partitioned the hard drive into 3 'disks' or disk images. The problem I'm having, is that I would like to get rid of one of them and use that storage for the main disk; the disk with the startup info. on it.
    How in the heck do I do this? I've located about 134, 765 articles on how to CREATE partitions, but none on how how to get rid of them, or combine them into others.
    Help?
    iMac flat panel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    If you use only Apple's software then the only way is to Erase the drive with Disk Utility and set one partition only.
    Clearly this will erase all data on the drive.
    There are some 3rd party utilities that allow partitions to be removed/created without erasing the drive.
    Given the nature of what you are doing here; I'd recommend fully backing up all your data before doing anything of this nature.

  • How do i get rid of the guest user account on my mac?

    The guest user account keeps appearing on my login screen and i want to get rid of it, i do not want others to be able to access my account. How am i able to do this? I have tried to go on through the user section and nothing i seem to do in there helps. Please help!

    You don't want to get rid of, it's a security feature. If someone steals your Mac, all that account permits is Safari access, no other access to the computer. This enables you to locate your Mac.

  • I just updated my MacBook pro early 2011 model to OSX 10.9 and was forced to create a new user(administrator) and ended up with a different configuration. If I login with my original user name everything is back. How can I get rid of the other user name?

    I have two user names with Administrator privelages and my MacBook keeps booting up to the wrong one and I have the wrong configuration since I updated to OSX 10.9. I would like to get back to my original User name which I used to boot up to. When I go to the User Groups and Preferences it doesn't allow me to delete the un-wanted user.
    Does anybody have any suggestions how I can fix this? I can't seem to recover Time Capsule back-ups prior to the OSX upgrade even though I have been faithfully backing up to a Time Machine.
    Help please.

    First of all, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options, and set your old user account in "Automatic login". By doing this, your computer will always log in with your old account.
    Then, log in your old account, where you will be able to delete the new user that OS X Mavericks forced you to create. Other users have reported the same problem

  • How can i get rid of a password i dont know?

    i have a password i dont know so do i have to restore it?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTuns purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How to I get rid of pop up user account control "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer" I have windows 7 professional.

    I keep getting an annoying pop up the says "User Account Control" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Two days after I downloaded Firefox and set as my default browser.

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

    Hey,
    In your case i would contact Toshiba memory support. You can give them a call or write an e-mail, have a look on Toshiba memory page:

    Have you created the password using U3T software? On the same Toshiba page there is a FAQ article how to remove U3T Launchpad software.

  • My ex husband had the kid's iPad.. how do I get rid of his info and ability to track me?

    Hello,
    I am recovering from a control freak.  Please help.  My ex husband took off with the children's iPad for over a year.  So the warranty is expired.  How do I keep the games he put on there (like Angry Birds) but get rid of a "restrictions Passcode" he refuses to give me and get his AppleID off of there and most importantly take his ability to stalk me via GPS tracking away?
    Yes he has been stalking me.
    I would like to add an internet browser and be able to have my own restrictions passcode so that when the children are not supervised I can turn off the internet. 
    How do I get rid of his passwords and ability to track me and set the iPad up for my children.  (I have no money, no child support and definitely no cash for tech support.)  I would deeply appreciate the help.  Even after I find a new job, it will be tight.
    Thanks so much!

    You'll have to restore the device, but with out the restricions passcode you'll have to put it into recovery mode first.
