Any one know how to reset the open firmware password?

iBook G4. 1.33ghz. 1GB RAM.30 or 40GB HDD. Running 10.5.8
I got this from a friend, who got it from a friend. And its acting funny. It works. But a lot of options are missing from the System Preferences pane. And another friend said to reset the NVRAM and all the setting in the open firmware. Only no one seems to know the open firmware password. And I can't seem to find how you'd reset all the setting in the open firmware. I'm working on locating the installation disks for this iBook. But will that even help me with this resetting open firmware business?

I did a google search and here is one link that might have some helpful information -

Welcome to the Apple community.
The password for your Apple ID is the same for all apple services, if you have forgotten it, you can reset it at the website iForgot.com

Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
Thanks again,
Rob

Does any one know , how to delete the others in itunes. it takes lot of space

does any one know , how to delete the others in itunes. it takes lot of space, i wanna delete that... Actually what it contains

Those are the data of the installed apps. Don't listen if someone says that it's an iOS, because it is not. On your iPhone, go to general > usage. It will show you all the programs installed on your iPhone. If you click any of them you will see how much of "others" it has (documents and data)
There's no way to delete it if you want to still have those apps. You can reinstal those which has the most "others" but after some time of usage, it will raise again.

I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?

If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

How can I reset the open firmware password?

I wanted to installed Mac OS X Lion from scratch on my newly purchased MBP 15,4"
I put the installESD.dmg on a USB pendrive, then I boot on it. I used Disk utility to erase en encrypte my drive, and at the same time I set the Open firmware password.
I launched the installation process, after a while the computer reboot but I got an error:
there was a problem installing mac os x try reinstalling
I google this error and found many people who solved this issue by erasing the PRAM using the shortcut: cmd + opt + P + R. I'm asked to enter the password which I did but it's still keeping asking for the password so I guess its wrong which is weird cause I typed it in few minutes ago, so I might have done twice a typing error or I don't know.
So my question is how can I reset this password to be able to install my OS? (I cannot access to any OS cause the installation process failed).
Thnak you for your help

Yes I did use the disk utility to restore the dmg on my USB drive. The USB drive is perfectly fine, I can boot on it without any problem, well before setting this open firmware password I could do it.
Now the situation is:
No system installed,
Lock with a password
I have the disk to install SL but I cannot boot on the DVD because it is asking me for this password.

Does any one know how to reset my security questions? i am logged into my account on my new computer but in order to buy a game i need to answer the 2 questions that i forgot.

Does anyone know how to reset my security questions?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Does any one know how to resolve the error while flat file upload

Hey guys, I am so struck with this problem, please do let me know if anyone has any suggestions and ideas.
1. I created three InfoObjects, Material Number, Name and Price,which is a keyfigure and has data type DEC and fixed currency USD.
Material Number is "With Master Data ", "With Text" and i added Name and Price as attributes to that.
2.
After that i created an Application component, and therafter a data source for Master data Attibutes.
Now i select my flat file which is .csv file, in this data source. When I click "Load Example Data", i get all the fields from flat file, but the data type for PRICE changes to FLTP with length 16 instead of remaining DEC.
Does anyone have any idea why on earth is this change of Data type taking place ?
Please do me a favour by answering if you know about this problem. Thanks, appreciate it . Byee. And yeah, m just starting off in SAP so I am a total amateur unlike most of the people here.

Am workin on BI 7.0.
Let me put it in another way :
Created Infoobjects: 1) Material No , 2) Material Name 3 ) Price which is the Key Figure
Material No -
has attributes Material Name and Price and " WIth Master Data", With ' Text"
Price: -
data type DEC, fixed currency - USD
After doing things.
Created Application Component:
then, Right Click - Create Data Source,
Selected -- Master Data Attributes
After that from "EXTRACTIO' tab , selected the flat file, which is *.csv
and then in DATA FORMAT - " SEPERATED WITH SEPERATOR"
Then from "PROPOSAL" tab, when i click Load example data, the data from flat file shows up here, but the field PRICE now has Data Type -- " FLTP" and lenght "16"
I hope i was clear enough. thanks
