After install my user login account and password is not working

I took my Mac book Pro to apple store for repair after it shuts down. They told me the laptop is formatted so I have re install all softwares i.e Mac office, iTone, etc. Unfortunately after downloading the softwares, I couldn't complete the installation because the computer can not recongnise my admin login password ( step required to complete installation). I did not change my passward and userlogin information? Could you please advice?
Thank you

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold 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

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password"  and my AppleID and password do not work.

    thats because audible isnt apple provided, its a third party app/website so you'll have to get it from them

  • I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAC (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK)

    I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAX (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK

    This seems to cause a certain amount of confusion. Your Adobe ID is not used to download or install Adobe Reader.
    But when you install any software you are likely to need your own computer's administrator password. This password was chosen by you (or someone) the first time the computer was switched on, and is used to protect the system against bad things.

  • Email account and Internet service not working after migration onto a new (upgraded 3rd party) 2012 MBP. Hardware or software issue.

    I just purchased a refurb Mac Book Pro from the Apple on-line store. When I received the machine (serial number)  I purchased 3rd party (OWC) parts. All of these were installed by the authorized, local Apple repair store I have had excellant results with past issues with my 2006 MBP. The parts installed are: 16 meg ram, 240 SSD and a 1 T installed replacing the optical drive.
    Feeling ready now, I had the Apple store do the migration from my 2006 MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) over to the 2012.
    When trying to get the new machine into the production flow, I cannot get email to work. It will launch but I cannot access accounts.
    During the One to One, then moved over to the Genius Bar appointment, they reentered the account(s) data. Nothing.
    Also at this time they noticed that the Internet connection was not working.
    A new internet account was set up and it worked. They (Genius) launched email and the Internet connection crashed. This was repeated about 5 times.
    The computer was left with Apple to reinstall the OS (10.8) - their best suggestion as a fix and I have now had a call to say that the install did not correct the problem. Now they are questioning the install of the 3rd party parts as the possible problem.
    I'm to go back into the Apple store to discuss the next steps.
    I would really, really appreciate anyones thoughts / suggestions on this problem. Is it software or hardware? Should I re-install the original ram and 500 m hard drive to start over with the migration? I'll be honest here and state - I'm not a technician in computers or this side of technology. That is why I have reliable parties do the install and trouble shoot. Not a comfortable feeling being at their mercy.
    Advanced thanks to all who believe they have answers.

    Back from the Apple store with my 2012 MacBook Pro.
    After one re-install of the OS - no better - a clean install was performed - purging all of the data that they had migrated over from my 2006 MBP last week.
    The belief is, that the migrated data from my 2006 MBP was too great of a leap for the new 10.8. My (a lot) software was too dated and there in was a "blip" of some sort in some / one of the programs.
    So - all of the OWC parts and pieces that I had installed are not the issue - as they all show up on the About this Mac - and other things are functional. Yeah.
    I now have my 2012 back (with upgrades) in the original form (OS and programs) and I will start a one by one migration of programs that I do need and use. Being cautious not to make one large transfer.... weeding out programs that will no longer be needed or will work on the OS 10.8. I will manually set up the email accounts one by one.
    Fingers crossed.

  • Typekit Login and password reset not working...please help?

    Hi
    I've been using Typekit for a few years now and have a number of website that use the library fonts. I tried to login to my account (not via my Creative Cloud account) and it didn't accept it. So, I tried to reset the password, but I didn't receive it the reset password email... so I tried it again, and again - nothing. I then logged in using my creative cloud login details and tried to sync the accounts, but it didn't recognise my Typekit login.
    I don't know what else to do??
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Administrator name and password does not work in other accounts

    My hard drive died so I had one installed. I reinstalled contents from TimeMachine. When my son is in his account and he is prompted for the Administrator's name and password I type in the required info but the shaking text box indicates that my admin name and password are wrong. I tried to unlock the System Preferences and same thing happens. When I am in my account, I have no problems. How to I make it so I can change, install and fix things when I am in another person's account?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • After installing adobe digital edition 2.0 it is not working

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my system to Window 7. After upgrading i installed Adobe digital edition 2.0,in the download page the size was shown as 12.3MB, but actually when i down loaded it was only 5.6MB. After installing  it, when  i press close after the completion of installation the programs hangs. If i close program and open it again same issue. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but not use.

    Hello Sjpt
        In windows xp serivce pack-2, ADE 2.0 is working perfectly for few days only, but after few days ADE 2.0 is not opening. I dont know why it is not opening? Can anyone tell me reason behind this?
    If RUN>>MSCONFIG>GENERAL>DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP - LOAD BASIC DEVICES AND SERVICE ONLY > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is opening.
    If RUN>> MSCONFIG>GENERAL>NORMAL  STARTUP - LOAD ALL DEVICE DRIVERS AND SERVICES > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is NOT opening.  As you people are well aware that we cannot use the diagnostic startup since it will allow basic service and devices only.
    I have tried the following methods to overcome this issue (from internet)
    1. Uninstall Adobe Digital Editions using one of these two methods:
    Start > Programs > Adobe > Adobe Digital Editions > Uninstall
    Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
    2. Initiate Uninstall
    3. In order to remove all remnants of Adobe Digital Editions /  Adobe Adept from the machine a "Registry Edit" will need to be  performed:
    Start > Run > Regedit
    4. Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Adept and Delete the full "Adept" folder
    5. Remove only the structures that are under the "SOFTWARE"  extensions. This will remove the Adobe ID / License and Activation Keys
    6. Clear any outstanding tasks that may be associated to Adobe  Digital Editions downloads
    C:\data\my digital editions
    C:\my documents\my digital editions
    7. Delete any documents within these folders:
    Restore > Tasks
    Restore > Failed
    8. Re-install Adobe Digital Editions
    9. I have updated Windows xp from SP2 to SP3
    The above methods didn't helped me to solve this issue. Then, i have used DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP and safe mode, it was opened, but not in normal user mode.
    Thanks,

  • After install of ios7 on ipad mini wifi will not work

    I have installed ios7 on my mini. After doin so WiFi will not work.  Button is greyed out.  When I try to erase all content and go back to factory it wants my password and won't do so because it says no internet connection.  Had I know this was going to happen I would have left well enough alone.  I have tried hard resetting by holding home and off button simultaneously but not working.  Anyone have any ideas?  This mini is now basically useless to me without internet.  I'm really annoyed.

  • User Login - go to previous URL not working

    Hi
    I have a user login set up using the DW server behaviour.
    The problem I have is that the redirect to the previous url doesnt work and always directs a successful login to the default successful login page.
    The problem seems to revolve around this part of the code:
                    if (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) && FALSE) {
                        $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION['PrevUrl'];
                    header("Location: " . $MM_redirectLoginSuccess);
    and in particular the use of the && FALSE check.  I can see from my debugger that the value of $_SESSION['PrevUrl'] is properly set to the previous url.  If I remove the && FALSE check the login works as I would expect and redirects to the previous URL.  However, as this is 'out of the box' DW code I am concerned in case removing the && FALSE check may be doing some harm.  I have to admit I dont understand the logic of what the && FALSE part of the IF statement is actually checking for.
    Any advice and/or reassurance that by removing the && FALSE is not doing any harm or exposing me to any risks would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    session_start() is set
    As I step through the code and watch the variables I can see that the value of $_SESSION['PrevUrl'] is equal to the previous url but $MM_redirectLoginSuccess remains as the default success page.
    If I remove the && FALSE element from the IF statement, the value of MM_redirectLoginSuccess is changed to the the value of $_SESSION['PrevUrl'], which is what I want.
    So my question is, what is the && FALSE bit doing and why is it there and do I need it?
