After resetting password via 10.4 disk, I still need a password to load software

Hello There!
I am in quite of a bind, as I've tried to reset my password via the OSX 10.4 installation disks, but since I've upgraded to 10.6, I'm still required to type in a password of which I've long since have forgotten in order to load software necessary to transfer my *.jpg files to an external HDD.
Any and all help with regard to this matter shall be greatly appreciated, as I am in a major quandry to save my iPhoto images! (I need to load some software to save this precious data on an external HDD)...
Kindest Regards,
David

Thanks!
The more I thought about it, the more this makes sense, as I have upgraded my OSX from the initial version.
Again, thanks for our input!
Regards,
David

You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

Check your password agian. If your friends password /account is working then it is your account information. Maybe you have the wrong username/email combo

Resetting or changing a password:
For Snow Leopard or earlier: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. After the upgrade I was unable to log in to my accounts. After days of frustrating procedures (reinstalling, disk utility clean-up, verification, password resets on terminal window...)

I think I isolated the problem to a software issue. I called the software company and they directed me to a website with the following set of instructions:

ADmtiMac v5 is not supported on OS X 10.7, Lion. If you have already upgraded to Lion, the incompatibility can cause a situation preventing you from logging in to any account. To remedy this situation, please follow these steps:
NOTE: If you do not feel comfortable performing these steps, please contact our Support Specialists for further help.
1. Restart the computer holding down the Command+S keys. This will start the system up in Single User mode.
2. At the prompt type the following commands (these commands will be listed above the prompt just in case you need to reference them):
   /sbin/fsck -fy {hit the return key}
/sbin/mount -uw /   {hit the return key}
3. Modify the /etc/authorization. At the prompt type
   vi /etc/authorization    {return}
This opens the file in the vi editor. Then type:
   /AMHomeDirMechanism   {return}
This searches for the first occurrence of AMHomeDirMechanism (case-sensitivity is important).
do this:
dd     (don't press return, this deletes the line the cursor is on)
n     (don't press return, this searches for the next occurrence of AMHomeDirMechanism)
until there are no more occurrences of AMHomeDirMechanism (vi will say "E486: Pattern not found: AMHomeDirMechanism"). Depending on the version, there will be 3 or 4 occurrences.
Then:
   :wq    {return} (This saves the file).
(NOTE: You may see "E138 Can't write ciminfo file $HOME/.viminfo!". If so, please hit the return key, then continue.)
   exit    {return}
This last line allows the boot to continue, and you should then be able to log in andINSTALL ADmitMac v6.
I did this and it did not work. Redoing this several times over, I noticed that the issue is that Drive is "Read-only". Changing permissions is above my "pay-grade" Any help will be appreciated it. I do not want to wipe out my hard drive and restart anew.

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

HT4910 Good Day. Please help me get an icloud customer service email address. I have forgotten my password and Apple ID. My iphone needs that password i order to function. It all started after updating my software to Ios7.

Good Day
Can anyone help me get icloud customer service help email address? I need to contact them to help me reset my password.
I cant use my iPhone since upgrading to Ios7
Thank you in advance

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. No-one is goingto email you.
Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

Since doing iOS 7 update I can't send or receive iMessages and when I try to activate it just keeps saying check network settings. I have done a network reset both via wifi and 3G yet still no joy. Frustrated please help

Have had the problem since iOS 7

iPads only support iMessage. You cannot send SMS with any of the native iOS functionality on it. There may be some apps in the app store that will, and certainly several messaging platforms (but read the descriptions carefully).

Still need a password to update apps purchased by another Family Sharing member!

On iOS 8.1, I can enter App Store app, tap on the Purchased tab at the bottom, and then tap the upper-left corner to choose one of the members in the same Family Sharing members, then tap on the "download cloud" icon next to any apps purchased by that member. Doing so, I don't need to enter the password that Family Sharing member's Apple ID. But, whenever apps, those purchased by other Family Sharing members, have an update, I would need to change the Apple ID to that Family Sharing member and enter the password, in order to enable the app update. Or, those apps will stay on the Updates page of the App Store app, waiting to be updated, forever.
How can the app update of apps purchased by other Family Sharing members be set automatic?

No. To update apps you have to sign intot he account that purchased them.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
Just purchase the apps with your account

How do I recreate passwords after resetting phone?

How do I recreate passwords after resetting my iphone5?

Yep, that erases all saved WiFi passwords. Means you'll have to input them again when you join each network. There's no way to "just add them back", if that's what you're asking, nor can they be retrieved anywhere.

[SOLVED] How to unload any driver(dll) at the start up after reset??

Dear Developers,
Greetings!!!
As, I am using AM335x BSP with WinCE 7. We have one vendor Wifi device and its binary images(driver installer). When we reset the target board, the modules do not reset and during the time of board booting, I found the following logs
7771 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 Warning! Kernel DLL 'rwlpsdio.dll' is registered for thread creation/deletion notification. To improve performance if you dont need thread notifications call DisableThreadLibraryCalls from inside D
7774 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 DriverEntry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7777 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 SDIO not initialized, returning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7778 PID:400002 TID:9e0006 OSAXST1: <<< Unloading Module 'rwlpsdio.dll' (0x9E438000) at address 0xA7C90000-0xA7D47000 in Process 'NK.EXE' (0x87FDFAD0)
PB Debugger Unloaded symbols for 'rwlpsdio.dll'
We conclude that when we reset the device, the driver is not unloading and that why, its not releasing the resource.
My motto to solve the issue by creating an application that run at every startup after reset and unload the driver. So, that during the time of loading it, it re-loads properly..
I am searching it on google but unable to find any way so far.
ASAP reply must be highly appreciated

Dear Developers,
@balaji,
As I had read the link https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/98aa5eca-0b38-4f6e-bf7b-81cb7068422e/sdio-wifi-driver-and-prefetch-aborts-problem?forum=winembplatdev
And, in the above thread you were replying as
Hi Misbah,
NdisMRegisterMiniport sure needs to be called from DriverEntry. Can you check if NdisRegisterAdapter is present. This ideally should be somewhere in your stream interface.
I am taking a wild guess here , perhaps you can may be introduce some delay in DriverEntry , so that the stream driver gets a chance to load?.
e.g. you can use one of NdisWaitEvent functions.
All the best.
Regards,
Balaji.
As, per my knowledge, the DriverEntry is the first function that is called by ndis after loading the ndis.dll and it is responsible for registering the driver with NDIS by using
NdisRegsiterMiniportDriver.
Any how in my case, DriverEntry is called but the same function we are getting one error and that's why driver is not registered with NDIS.
We are checking SDIO interface status, either it is uo or not. If it is up then fine and if not then display warning and unload the driver.
So, in my case, the SDIO status is not up after resting the device.
Any suggestion will be appreciated????

Can't login to iCloud email, even after resetting the password via iForget. No access in the iCloud website nor in Apple Mail...

Hi all,
can't find the solution for this, have already resetted the password via iforget. iCloud site accepts my password but then gives me an error while trying to access my email. In Apple Mail, after updating the password, it still tells me that it is wrong.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Even your problem aroused more than six months ago, let me mention that I am facing similar problem (created another thread where I asked about), I also called Applecare, and they told me I had to wait since aparently the issue was a "server side" issue. What concerns me is the case was "closed" & I am still facing the problem since this morning (case 331263318 )

Can't login even after resetting password using install disk

I have been unable to login in using the password on this computer. Twice now I have reset the password using the install disk that came with the computer. After resetting. I quit the installer and then reboot using the computer's startup disk. When I try to login with the new password, it won't let me uses the password even though the new hint is correct. How can I solve this?

I think you have two choices...
Reset OS X Password Without an OS X CD...
http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
It'll boot like a newly setup Mac, but all your stuff should still be there once filling out the stuff.
Or, an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
But first...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes. (May or may not work)

Password not recognized, even after reset

About three days ago, the Mac App store stopped recognizing my password. I tried a number of times, and subsequental was sent back to reset the AppleID via web/email. After resetting the password, I was able to use the (new) password successfully.
Today the (new) password stopped working for the App Store. After resetting the password, I was able to use the (new-new) password to log into various apple services, but *not* the Mac App store.
Any ideas?
Have a great day!

UPDATE: I entered my password again and the App store once again didn't recognize it. However, after trying it one more time I was able to log back in.
Good luck!
