I am the founder of a non-profit organization, a donor had just given us her used iBook G4.  What do I need to do to wipe out her "stuff", change username and password, start all over new.  We will use this iBook in our learning center in Saigon, Vietnam

To good citizens of the MAC world,
I am the founder of a non-profit organization, we are caring for 6,200 orphans and street kids in Vietnam.  A donor had just donated her used iBook G4 for us to use in one of our several "learning centers" in Vietnam.  Folks sometimes donating PC but this is the first time we ever received a MAC.. :-)  I would like to know how to start this iBook all over new: change username and password.  I am looking so forward to bring it to Saigon in a few days and let our children experience MAC ... I am a 2 years MAC users and I have no intention to return to the Dark side.  Please help. I have the original OS disk.  Thank you so much.

There should be no need to zero the hard drive.
Using the Restore discs that came with the iBook when it was new, restore the system software using the appropriate instructions which you can find through a link contained in this Apple Knowledge Base article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1561?viewlocale=en_US
Good luck with it.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery

  • I am unable to change username and password for wifi network

    unable to change username and password for wifi network

    Thanks, this solved my problem. Network kept demanding username; I guess it's different from the computer ID I use. Whatever, it wasn't easy to find the network listed, but by trial and error, I found it, highlighted it, and pressed delete key. Now the network only asks for password, which I knew, and I'm on. Great advice. But why computer was configured to do that in the first place is why I prefer PC to my wife's inscrutable macbook pro.

  • How to change username and password

    How can you change username and password for icloud under settings on iPhone?

    Scroll to bottom and tap the big red Delete Account button, then sign back in with the correct username and password.

  • Every time I am asked for my Apple password, I put it in and then it is not recognized.  When I answer the security question, I am told it is wrong.  I reset the password, try again, and we start all over again.  Not recognized.

    How can I get Apple to recognize me? Every time I try to put in my Apple password, it doesn't recognize it.  I try answering the security question, will not recognize it.  I end up changing the password then try signing in again and it won't recognize it.  We start all over again.

    Have you changed the email address associated with the Apple ID? I did, and learned the hard way that it caused a lot of problems. I had to delete that ID and create a new one, then it caused problems with iCloud because of my old email address. If that's not the case, you might need to set up a new Apple ID altogether. Sounds like a pain, but it's not too hard, and you only need to create a new email address. You can also set up new security questions for the new ID and it should be recognized when you enter the information in iTunes, the App Store, etc. If that doesn't work, I recommend calling Apple and explaining the situation. Here's the page for Apple support numbers depending on where you live:

  • HT2558 I am trying to upload software but each time I am asked to upload a box pops up with install and restart. I press this, the computer restarts and I start all over again. No authentication icon appears.

    I am trying to update software on my macbook pro. From the apple menu, I click "check updates", software is then checked and a list presented of software that I require downloading. I then tick the relevant applications. The blue bar with "install and restart" appears, I press this, the computer goes into restart mode, I login and start all over again.
    i seem to be in a loop! No authentical dialogue box appears for me to enter my name and password.
    Any suggestions please!

    Hi, try a refresh that'll bypass the cache with the Shift key + F5 (or Shift-click on reload) which is the same as clearing your browser cache (Ctrl+F5 for the Internet Exploder). If that doesn't work, then you can try a new firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profile] just to see if it's (your) Firefox-related or maybe an actual problem with the site (maybe starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] can be a quicker check).

  • When I only want to close the current window to return to the previous window, the whole firefox site closes down, I end up back at my desktop & have to start all over again. How can this be fixed?

    If I close a window I should be back at the previous window that I was at when I followed a link to this window. At least that's the way Internet Explorer works, which I have used for years. The only thing that prevents me from using Firefox exclusively is that it is very time consuming to have to start all over again from scratch every time I close a window. For instance, say I type "cats" into the search box. It gives me links to a list of "cats" sites. I go to a "cats" website, decide I don't like it so close the window to return to my list of sites, but instead of returning me to the list, I end up at my desktop. Then I have to start all over, just like I had not even been online. Very aggravating. I don't know how else to describe the problem, I can't believe that other people haven't had a similar complaint, unless I just have some settings wrong?

    Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
    Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

  • Using a guest wi-fi network with changing username and password

    I am trying to access a "guest user" wi-fi network at my office. For security purposes, the guest network username and password are changed periodically. The connection worked fine until the username and password changed. Is there any way to access the setup of a specific wi-fi network on the iPhone and update the user name and password? I would like to be able to do it without resetting ALL the networks used?
    I tried to use "Forget Network" and then restored the connection, but it appears the iPhone retains the old username and password in memory.
    Thanks!
    liv3itup

    Well, I tried to duplicate what you talked about. I have my wireless here at home, and I chose, "Forget this network" and when I went to rejoin, it asked for a password. Many public networks take their username and password through the browser. Have you tried to open Safari to see if it will default to the username/password screen? I've used mine at hotels that change their access every 24 hours and if I try to log back on after the time, it defaults back to the login screen. That is the only solution that I can think of. And yes, if you go to settings and reset network settings, it will clear all of them.

  • Change username and password of sysadmin user for BPC 10 SP11

    Hello BPC gurus,
    We installed BPC 10 SP11 for a client, now to comply with some regulations client wants to change the following
    - Sysadmin username and password
    - BPCAdmin username and password
    - BPCUser username and password.
    I understand that server manager --> Reset login credentials lets you change the password for sysadmin and the other accounts,
    but is there any way we can change sysadmin account (service account used for installation)?
    Thanks,
    Maitreyee

    Hi Maitreyee,
    I picked up the incident you set up with this question, and responded there, but just saw that you had asked the question here as well (which is a good idea).
    This is the feedback I provided in the incident, so I'm not sure if you want to get feedback from someone else, but the answer is:
    In order to change the ID's and Passwords for those service accounts you will have to uninstall and reinstall BPC with the new accounts.  There is really no way to make that kind of change maunually in our system as there are too many backend pieces that use those accounts.
    Also, you'll need to make sure before reinstalling that the new accounts have the correct permissions per the installation document.
    Thank you,
    Dan

  • Script Updater to change username and password

    Can the script updater change the username and password for a bunch of test? I tried using the Global search and replace but it was not able to find the string. Please help?

    If the password is stored in the test it's self you can find it by opening the test file xxx.mom and preform there a search and replace.
    Perhaps it's better to connect the password to a variable by connecting it to a databank source. So the password is stored only once. Saves a lot of maintainance.

  • Need to Change Username and Password

    I seriously need to find a way to change the router's login Username and Password.
    I live in an apartment building, and someone is logging into my router and disabling my wireless security every other week.
    So far, everywhere I've read has said that you can't change the login username and password, only the administrator password, but the Login defaults of "admin" are just too easy for people to hack into.
    I need a way to secure my network so that Only I can log in to make any changes to my network.

    Also, check the logs (enable them if they are not enabled) to see if you are actually getting "hacked" or the device is just restoring to factory default.
