How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

You don't.
If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

  • How do I find out what I have recently purchased for the app store and iTunes I.e films, songs, albums

    How do I find out what I have recently purchased from the app store and iTunes I.e films, songs, albums &amp; apps?>.<

    On your iPad, you can open iTunes and click on Purchases.  Plus, when you purchase something from iTunes, you should get an email with the purchase details to the email you set up as your Apple ID.  They sometimes take a day or two and with the volume of things being purchased with the millions of new iPads out there in the last 3 days, that may be a bit longer.  I keep every receipt I get for future reference.

    Oracle version 8.1.7

    Assuming that [auditing was enabled|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/security.htm#sthref2916], the command
    AUDIT CONNECT WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFULThat will write audit records when there is an unsuccessful login. Depending on how you've configured auditing, those records will either be written to the SYS.AUD$ table, in which case you can query them through a few different views, or to a file on the operating system that you can grep.

  • How do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

    how do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

    Sorry, but what do you mean by "what numbers I have included"? Find My iPhone doesn't store nor go by phone numbers, if that's what you're referring to. It's done by the Apple ID you used to set up Find My iPhone on the device you wish to track, and the devices will be shown by name.
    You may need to explain further what it is you're asking or are trying to accomplish.
    Regards.

  • How to find out what generation my Classic is ?

    Can anyone advise me how I find out what generation my iPod Classic is ? Is there a website I can check with ?
    Many thanks,
    Shell

    Hi Niel, the article I get directed to, doesn't really explain the difference between 6th and 7th generation Classics. Is there anywhere (maybe on the Apple website) I can input the Serial Number and Part Number to be exact ?

  • How to find out what Oracle version?

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me how to find out what Oracle version is on your AIX/Unix machine? It looks like Oracle Installer doesn't use the native OS installation(installp,pkgadd) process, so I can't use lslpp/pkginfo to find out what filesets are installed.
    Thanks
    HQ.

    Hi!
    As far ar Oracle version is concerned, you can find it at the database level after connecting to the database
    select * from v$version;
    i am not sure if there is someway to find at the o/s level.
    Good luck

    how do i find out what computers have been authorized for my account? I have had one stolen and one died but my account shows 5 pcs authorizied? how do i unauthorize a computer not in my hands?

    Iphones do not count. Computers only.
    There is no way to find out what computers.
    Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.
