How do I change the administrator name and password?

I am trying to put some needed applications on my G3 Lombards and it won't let me because the previous administrator of the computer failed to erase all of his info before I bought it.
How do I change the administrator name and password?
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen yet.
Please help. FAST

Robert:
May I strongly urge you to get a set of installer CDs. They will come in handy as you need them for much more than just installing the OS. From time to time, e.g. you may need to boot from the installer disk to Repair Disk (you can Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility on the HDD, but to Repair Disk, you must boot from a different volume). And if you had installer CDs changing the password and creating a new Admin Account would be a breeze.
You can get universal installer disks at applerescue. Another option in your situation is to do a complete re-install. That will not only enable you to create your own admin account, but it will automatically change the computer short name. However, for that you need installer disks.
Meanwhile, <a href=""http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121786&tstart=0>here is another article that should help.
Good luck.

Type in resetpassword and press enter on the keyboard.
Leave the Terminal window open.

Need help urgent

Paolo,
If I understand his requirement good (to have system user but must be called xxxx) then that's the option.
Well, that's obvious...Sure, but sometimes we see complicated thing but not something what is obvious...
Also your demonstration to OP how to change user password indicate that OP-level of knowing Oracle user management is such that OP maybe need help for something what is for you or me obvious...
Cheers!

How can I hide the user name and password from the url address?

Good afternoon every body,
I have a form running with Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 and when I run the form on the web it shows the user name and password of my data base. Can anyone of you please help me to hide the user name and password, if there's any way of course?.
Thanks a lot!!.

Luis,
Then, as inolau's notice, create logon screen (or use the default one) and force the users to logon at runtime. Do not pass username/password as parameters.
inolau,
True that if the connection is specified in the config it will be the same for everyone. However, every case is different. For example one of our apps gets S3 credentials (from non-Oracle S3) as session parameters. It uses this common db connection to validate some stuff with the database, read security definitions and then it re-connects the forms using the credentials.

How can I change the admin username and password

how can I change the default admin adminadmin username and password for the server

What version of Creator are you use?
In Creator 2 Update 1, using Application Server version 8.2, you can do the following..
1) Log into the Admin Console using the default UID/PWD
2) Expand the tree view by following this path:
Application Server > Configuration > Security > Realms > admin-realm
3) Click on "Manage Users"
4) Click on the UserID "admin"
5) enter the new password that you would like
6) Click on the "Save" button on the upper right side of the page.
That should do it for you.
Good luck

How can I change the "folio name" and the "publication name?

Hello,
We have posted a Multi-folio App a single folio in it.
We would like change the "folio name" and the "publication name” and we tried to do this using the dashboard. However, when clicking “update” we unchecked the “update content” checkbox, because there are no changes to the folio’s content. The problem is that this didn’t change anything in the app: both the "folio name" and the "publication name” remain unchanged…
Is it possible to do this without having to repost this folio?
Thanks!
Olivier.

The metadata is considered part of the content. Click update again and leave the "update content" checkbox checked.

HT201441 How can i change the e-mail and password for the iphone

Hi there,
I bought my iphone as a 2nd hand from someone i dont know his adress.Then i made an update to the iphone and its says that i have to write the previous e-mail and the password which i dont know any of them and i couldnt find that person now.
So please if you can help me, what should i do in this case? Becouse the iphone at this moment is useless.
Best Regards

No, there is no solution - search these forums if you like for similar posts. Without knowing the registered owners password there is no way to disable Activation Lock. Apple will not give you that password, nor reset it for you, nor give you any personal information about the registered owner.
If you cannot contact that original owner, or they refuse to help you, then you now own a brick. If you can, go back to the seller and get your money back. It is reasonably likely though, that they did not actually own the device to sell it in the first place.

How can I change the tag name in cursor statement?

Hi
I have two tables: TableA and TableB. I want generate a XML file using XSU12 from these two tables, the XML structure like:
<ROWSETA>
<ROWA num="1">
<A1></A1>
<A2></A2>
<A3>
<A3_ROW num="1">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
<A3_ROW num="2">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
</A3>
</ROWA>
</ROWSETA>
How can I change the tag name and attribute for "A3_ROW"?
Thanks in advance!
null

In short, you can't.
You can use the column alias as you're already doing to change the name of the "A3" part of "A3_ROW" but you cannot change the "_ROW" part of "A3_ROW". This is added automatically.
You can combine the results of XSU with an XSLT stylesheet (made very simple if you're using XSU by working with Oracle XSQL Pages) to change the name of any element or completely restructure the XML output into a target XML, HTML, or text format.

I keep getting a pop up that request the Administrators name and password. I never set this up so I can't bypass this. How do I change or set up the administrators name and password.

I have OS X version 10.9.5. I have had this for a year or two. How do I find my Administrators name and password? I do not recall ever setting this up.

If you don't recall setting it up, try entering nothing into the passwordfield and just press return.
If that worked, please go to " > System Preferences > Users & groups" and click the [change password]-button.
If all that doesn't solve it, boot from the Recovery Partition and reset your password from there.
Here’s how:
1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you either see an Apple Logo with a loading bar or a spinning gear.
After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
3/ Find the menu called “utilities” in the top left corner of your computer’s display. It’s in between the menus “edit” and “window” Don’t be confused with the menu called “os x utilities”
Choose Terminal. A somewhat old-fashioned looking window will pop up, waiting for a text command from you. This is the Terminal.
After the # type: resetpassword and press return. Note that there is no space between ‘reset’ and ‘password’
What you’ll see next is an rectangular window that gives you the option to reset passwords. Set a new password for all the users that you need.
We’re ready to reboot your Mac now. Click on the Apple Menu and choose “startup disk” Choose to boot from “Macintosh HD” Please let us know if this solved your issue, or if the steps above did not work, or could not be performed for some reason.

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.
