Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • Admin password reset problem. Help!

    I just bought a used MBA (late 2010, 10.6.5), and I do not have the admin password. I also do not have the USB drive that came with it.
    I would most like to perform a clean install, but at this point I would be happy just resetting the password.
    Here's what I've tried:
    - Tried booting from my Snow Leopard disk using Remote Install.  My disk has a version (probably 10.6.0) which is too early to work, apparently. The MBA has a kernel panic.
    - Tried looking for ways to set another admin account via terminal command. Can't find out how this is done without the existing admin password.
    Any way to do this without the thumb drive and without a later version of the Snow Leopard disk?
    Charlie

    See this Apple note on resetting the admin password. Under "resetting the original administrator account password" it discusses how to deal with changing with no DVD drive available.

  • Portal Password Reset problem

    Hi All,
    My scenario wants an automated process where the users can reset their own password. Do you know if the user password reset on the logon page is a automated process? Does the email with password go directly to the user or the email goes to the administrator and then the administrator has to reset the password? Do I need to configure the SMTP in my client system for this? If so can you give the steps involved for configuring SMTP?
    I have configured SMTP server by logging as Administrator in portal -> System Admin -> Sys Confgiruation ->
    Universal Worlist & Workflow -> Engine and gave the notification email as 'JavaMail'.
    The again portal -> System Admin -> Sys Confgiruation ->
    Universal Worlist & Workflow -> Email edit it gave the Host name as my SMTP mail server name. I checked my mail server through telner <mail server> 25 and it is opening in command prompt. Am I missing anything here in SMTP configuaration. Fileds like Pop3 User and Pop3 Password I wanted to leave as blank but when I click save in Portal , it self add some encrypted values.
    can Anybody has done the above scenario.Its urgent.
    I have read on help.sap.com and it looks like it sends an email to administrator and then the administrator resets the user password. Is my understanding correct on the above.
    Can anyone provide me a step by step approach on the same.
    Suitable answers will be rewarded definitely.
    Regards,
    Narayanan B

    I found some information about this on SDN and on the help.sap.com site that might help:
    First look at:
    Change/Reset password option on the login page
    and:
    Password Reset
    Then check here:

  • ICloud account password reset problems

    Hello!
    I registered an iCloud account for my iPad mini. My username is [email protected]
    The problem is I forgot the password. I asked for a password reset at iforgot.apple.com.
    I checked all of my e-mail accounts when I figured out the email adress for my iCloud account is the [email protected] As I told I don't know my password so I can't sign in to my iCloud email to reset the password.
    Please help me, because I restored my iPad and I can't activate it without sing in to iCloud.
    Thanks,
    oliverus

    Did you set security questions? If yes, this might help you get in.
    Another place to look is in Keychain Access and in your Browser settings.
    Open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities.
    Select Login keychain in the top right.
    You can enter iCloud in the top search box but you can also scroll through the list looking for the entry.
    If you see the blue circle with @, select. Double click to open
    You'll see the actual account listed so you'll know if it's the correct one.
    Check the box to show password.
    Enter your Login password for your User.
    You'll see the password.
    You might need to check several entries.
    In Safari, go to Preferences > Passwords.
    Check box to Show passwords.
    Select the icloud.com site
    Click on the password to view after entering your Login password for User.
    If you used FireFox or Chrome, you would need to look in their preferences for the password.
    TIP: When you can get in, add multiple recovery emails to the account. Write down your password and recovery emails and keep in a safe place. I recommend 1Password  http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password
    I use a lot of fake answers and it's hard to remember so I keep these in secure notes in 1Password.
    Tip: when Yosemite is released you might see 1Password on sale. It's not cheap but worth every penny.

  • Password reset problem

    I've followed all the suggestions in the sticky thread, repeated them multiple times.  Still cannot get my password to work.  Please help - this issue has already caused me to be unable to place orders several times in the last 3 months.  I'm about ready to give up and stick with Amazon as I've never had problems signing in there.

    Hi UsualNoise,
    Not being able to access your account would certainly make placing an order difficult, so I can imagine how anxious you must feel to find a resolution.
    I was able to locate your account using the e-mail address you used to register for the forum and believe I found the cause of the problem. I've addressed that issue and have reset your BestBuy.com account's password, so please make sure to keep an eye on both your inbox and junk mail folders for a password reset notification. When you sign back in, please do the following in order:
    Log out of your BestBuy.com account completely on all devices, including the My Best Buy app
    Delete your browser history, cache, and cookies
    Visit the password reset link in your email (please be sure to check your spam folder)
    Create a new password that fits the accepted criteria (use a password you’ve never used before)
    Logout of your account as it will log you in automatically after creating the new password
    Wait 5-10 minutes and then attempt to login to your account
    Let me know if you need any additional assistance!

  • Oracle Virtual Directory (ovd) admin password reset

    Not that I have to do this but for troubleshooting purposes, I wanted to reset the binding/cn=admin password.
    The passwd file is under [ovd root]\conf\htpasswd
    And the utility is under [ovd root]\lib
    Specifically, the htpasswd file looks like a key value pair with some sort of hash. A comment line at the top of this file says "use org.mortbay.util.Password to generate crypted passwords" so I tried running a jar that looked promising but it looks to start up an :8080 service.
    Where is the documentation that addresses this file or password reset? The password was set during install, is that the only way you can reset it if it is lost (mine is not, just wondering)?

    This can be done using the OVD Manager (GUI) software. Use the OVD Manager to connect to the OVD Server and navigate to the Engine>Server>Security tab. From there you can simply enter a new password for CN=Admin.

  • HP Connect Password Reset Problems

    Hi
    I seemed to have forgotten my password to access HP Connect/ePrinter and requested a reset password link; and this is what happens if you click the email link:
    I left it a day or two - no change
    I left it a week - no change
    I then forgot and came back about two months later - no change.
    I tried finding somehow to contact HP about this - no way were they going to talk to me, or receive an email from me.
    I desperation, I created a new email address, just to access the site; and there is still no way to contact HP and find out if they are fixing the server within this century.
    Anyone know how to get around this problem?

  • TS5223 iCloud Password Reset Problems

    When I submit a password reset request on iCloud.com the site does not deliver the password reset instructions to the email address.  Apple, any ideas?

    We're only users here, Apple does not participate.
    Check your junk mail folder.  Or perhaps the email that you originally defined for sending icloud resets to is no longer active.

  • WRTP54G Password reset problem

    Hello, I recently plugged my wireless router back up from storage and I reset the router and try logging it the site (http://192.168.15.1/cgi-bin/webcm)  to change my settings but I can not log in. I tried using admin as the password but an error message pops up stating "Error: User not allowed to login this user level." I cannot find the CD that came with this router.  The internet LED light just blinks when I plug everything up. Any help will do please!!!!

    I have a similAR PASSWORD PROBLEM WITH MY WRT54GS.  I am switching from Hughes Satellite to DSL.  I put in the username and password but when I continue, the router adds characters to the password.  Is there a way to reset so it only takes the new password?

  • WRT54GC password reset problem

    I got the wrt54gc (eu) router from a friend. The problem is he doesnt remember the password, so i tried to reset the router many ways (hold rst btn for 10sec then unplug it for 30sec then replug it; hold rst btn for 30sec then unplug it...) but still i get the 401 message. When i "reset" the router the lights are flashing.. so i guess i did it right.. but still 401 problem.. I wrote about this on other forums and a guy told me that the password cant be resetted even if you reset the device.. it just doesnt make sense to me.. it must be a way.. any ideas?

    Pressing the reset button will automatically set the router back to default settings. Since reset was done, "admin" must work.
    It is possible that you are seeing a cached page on your browser. You can try to delete the temporary internet files on the browser first.
    Do not reset the router always, it might break the device.
