Can't remember my Admin password on iMac 10.5.8

Hi everyone. I am running into a major issue. I cannot remember my iMac admin password (10.5.8) and I have tried everything that was suggested on this website along with multiple other sites.
When I startup my iMac it automatically logs onto my admin desktop (no password, etc.) I want to install something and I cannot make changes to my account because I can't remember my password. I have tried rebooting with command + S and whenever I enter in the commands, I either get error messages or am told the commands are not recognized. Any advice would be really appreciated. I do not have the original CDs. I am able to log onto a Standard and Guest account- just can't install anything because they're not the Admin account.
Driving myself crazy. Please help!

Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
any one with a solution or similar problem?
thanks for any help.

I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

Admin password but nowhere to enter it

any admin task is presenting me with the uac window
to continue, type an administrator password, and then click yes"
but there is no text field available to enter the required password
all solutions I read point to I don't have admin rights, and then go into detail about how to get the admin user id active. The problem being that all the solutions suggested require some element of windows that need the admin password, which takes
me back to the there is no text field available to enter the password.
what to do?

Hi iruser,
Is the present account an administrator account ?
If it is an administrator account ,this account may have suffered a corruption .If it is possible ,try to create a new administrator account and logon with it to have a check .
If creating a new account is not available ,please try to boot into safe mode and enable the built-in administrator account and then create a new administrator account to have a check .
To do this here is a link for reference (Pay attention to Nsparisi`s answer):
Unable to disable UAC error: To continue type an administrator password and then click yes, but there is nowhere to type a password and yes is disabled.

Cannot start Essbase once admin password is changed

Hi
I have come into an organisation where all applications were created using the default admin / password credentials. I am wanting to tighten security by changing the password of the admin account. I can do this easily in Shared Services, however when I stop and start the Essbase service, I get the following error "Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error Unable to Authenticate.".
In the HSS log I get:
10-Dec-2009 15:59:55, /files, HEAD, 500 "Internal Server Error", 63 ms, %v
10-Dec-2009 16:00:26, /files, HEAD, 401 "Unauthorized", 0 ms, %v
com.hyperion.interop.AuthenticationException: Could not authenticate user 'CSSToken'. Please ensure the username and password is correct.
I have searched these forums and found threads to load Essbase service in the foreground (isnt this startEssbase.cmd?) and it says I can change the load up admin password there. However when I do that, I dont get that option.
If I change the password back to the default password, I can get Essbase back up and running no problems.
Can someone please tell me how to change the password for admin that Essbase uses to authenticate with Shared Services?
Thanks
Edited by: PLIM on 9/12/2009 21:33

its a longshot, but stop the Essbase service, then bring Essbase up in the foreground (from a command window, type Essbase) When it opens it should prompt for the Essbase password. Put in your password (which sounds like it is password). If you type help it will show you the available commands . One of which is Password. It allows you to reset the Essbase password. Try changing it here then in shared services and see if you can connect

Admin password not accepted anymore - but it's correct

Hi,
i have a strange problem in Lion 10.7.5:
My admin password is not accepted anymore in Lion. Whenever i'm asked to enter the Admin password, the window closes (therefore: no "wrong password" message or something else) but the process isn't continuing (for example an installation). There is no change or progression.
The password is definitely correct, i was also able to change it or use it in the terminal (where it is accepted). But i'm still not able to use it within Lion.
Tried also to boot in single-user mode and change the password there via "passwd username" but i'm getting a "The daemon encountered an error processing request" error message.
Read somewhere else, that i should repair permissions and/or keychain first aid. Tried both but the problem still exists.
Does anyone have another idea? I really don't want to restore my system... Actually, how can i do this without an installer disc? Purchased my imac with lion pre-installed - i guess i would have to reinstall all my applications?
Thanks for your help!

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Forgot HTMLDB admin password, how to reset?

Hello Holger,

wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user(
p_user_name => 'admin2',

end;
...which creates a new admin user with username "admin2" and password "admin2". Finally, execute a...
alter user FLOWS_010500 account lock;
...from a schema like System after this process is completed.
after I unlock the account FLOWS_020000,
the second step is :...and then connect to the FLOWS_010500 user and run this procedure:

Cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?

As much as possible i want only one SSID for my router, so i dont want to have another SSID for guest. To protect my router
settings I need to have a different admin password from those of passphrase (i.e. wifi password).
Why is it that cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?
The cisco connect password is the same as the passphrase. I think its unsafe to have similar passes for both admin password
and passphrase.
Is there any way that cisco connect software would work under different admin password & passphrase?

From what I can tell, the router is set up so that it broadcasts two seperate SSID's with two unique passwords. If you logon to the SSID-Guest network, you are not allowed any kind of Admin access to the router. If you attempt to use the Cisco Connect software, you'll eventually get an error saying that it could not find a network (unless there is an unconfigured router running factory defaults in range). I verified this using a Cisco Linksys E4200 and a few laptops.
So long as you utilize the guest network properly, you should be able to maintain security on your network and use Cisco Connect. Obviously this isn't ideal for most commercial use, but then again I don't know why you would want to use this software on that scale.
If you are trying to keep one SSID for the network, I think you're going to have to use the web based service and do a little manual configuration.
TLDR: Seta different password for the guest network and never give out the primary network password. Guests don't have admin access, even while using Cisco Connect so long as they are connected to the -Guest SSID.

Unable to Change Admin Password

Hello,
Since our ECC system's Admin password has expired, I tried using Emergency user (SAP*) to set the things right. When I tried to reset the Admin Password using the option Security Provider --> User Management in Visual Admin, I got the error "Unable to change password !".
This is really hampering our development process as the deployment couldn't be done without the Admin password. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Bala

Hi Bala,
Please try the following and hope it helps:
- deactivate sap*
- restart system
- goto url http://<server>:<port>/useradmin
- prompts that administrator password has expired, enter new password here

Why does Time Machine fail to restore and keep the original file after I have provided my Admin password?

I'm attempting to recover a group of lost files from Time Machine. The files are backups from a mobile app within User/LibraryMobile Documents/.
I'm able to find the lost files, but Time Machine failed to restore them after I select 'Keep Both' and then enter my Admin Password. The screen returns to the desktop and the finder window for the file I'm trying to recover, but nothing else happens.
I hope someone can help.

   "Have you tried restoring at the folder level? so that all files in the folder are restored.   As it is an incremental backup - also wait until you hear the backup drive stop spinning - as it has to find the physical files - pointing to them."
Yes, I've tried both, and waiting until the drive stops spinning:

Final Cut server forgetting Admin password

I've been managing a Final Cut Server running on an Xserve for about 9 months now and awhile ago it developed a new bug. The computer itself forgets it's own admin password. All users are booted out and unable to log back in. I'm unable to use remote desktop to get either. If I'm already remoted in when this occurs I can't unlock any system preferences with the error that my password is wrong. Once we hard reboot the server the problem is gone and everything works as it should. This has occurs multiple times a day so you can imagine it is annoying and makes for grumpy end users. The server has been reformatted since this problem began but the final cut server database itself was just restored. Since we've reformatted the computer I assume the problem has to becoming from FCServer, which is why I'm posting here. Any ideas what could be causing this and how to solve it?

Nope, it OS X Server. FCSvr relies on the OS for all authentication. It doesn't do any itself. Never seen a system forget it's own Admin password. I'd have RAM and all hardware checked, even hard drives. Something is bad on the server, or you're being hacked.

Reset admin password - SJSWS 7u8

Hi,
I've read through the documentation and a few of the other posts about resetting the admin password in SJSWS. Plainly, it doesn't work
[root@server bin]# ./wadm reset-admin-password --user admin --host localhost --port 8989

CLI103 Command 'reset-admin-password' failed. :: netscape.ldap.LDAPRebindI've not been able to find any matches to the 'netscape.ldap.LDAPRebind' error, and don't know why it's talking about ldap in the first place (as SJSWS isn't attached to any LDAP).
The local machine (RHEL5.5, Linux x86_64, amd64 SJSWS install) does use LDAP for authentication, but it shouldn't be trying to touch that.
I can't find any further log entries for the failed password change either.
This is the administration console, with one other node hanging off of it.

Unfortunately you've run into a known problem - 6914493.
Edit $(INSTALL_ROOT)/bin/wadm and add ${classpath_prefix}/ldapjdk.jar to the classpath variable and try re-running the command.

Reset admin password in Weblogic 9.2

How do I reset the admin password in Weblogic 9.2?
I attempted to create a new user with the following:
java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount adminuser weblogic .
and renaming the boot.properties file, but the server does not start. I get the following error (after starting weblogic and entering in the newly created username/password):
<Jan 12, 2009 5:51:08 PM MST> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server s
ubsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Auth
entication for user adminuser denied
weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user admin user denied
I feel that I am missing something obvious to reset the admin password. Any help is appreciated

This is a very useful thread and definitely works. The above Python code is proper, only that Python requires indentation, and would not work otherwise.
The reason everyone seems to be having problems running this code is because the intentation is missing. See my modified code below. I have put in </tab> to indicate there indentation should be. Simply replace </tab> with an actual tab using Notepad++, Textpad or a similar text editor. I have also made a little modification as I could not get the username and password to display correctly with the above code. The code has complex path processing in function processBootFiles(rootPath, processFunc) which perhaps misses out on the main boot.properties file, even though its coded in.
The key is in getting this function to run explicitely: processFunc("./boot.properties"). Please check the paths for your wlst.sh/.cmd installation and ensure that you are currently in the directory with boot.properties file and run a command to call wlst & this script (call it wlsdecrypt.py) from that directory. This will work and indeed display the username & password :-)
