ARD admin password will not hold

I recently had to have my MacBookPro replaced under warranty. I cloned the hard drive from the old machine to the new. All good except a few apps needed to be re-registered. ARD on the other hand will not hold/remember my password. I accepts the password and I can use ARD but the next time I launch it it requires the password again. Any ideas about how I can get the password to hold?
many thanks
Mark

Yeah!.. thanks Dave. I now always run as a standard user. I logged on as Admin and entered the serial number and it held! Great. Thank you. It is the only app I have which had done this so far. Most just ask to authenticate. Weird that it did not protest, just did not do it.
thanks again
Mark

    LOCK OUT FORGOT ADMIN. PASSWORD HELP?

    Its probably too late for you, but just in case..
    You may not be aware that all late Windows OS have a hidden admin called Administrator which is only visible in Safe Mode. (Ever wondered why you can't call yourself "Administrator" - now you know!)  It is used by maintenance people.
    To solve your problem, boot in Safe Mode.  Log in as "Administrator" - it has no password.  Now you can reset the password, or delete and re-instate your normal (visible) admin.
    By the way, you said you can only log in as Guest.  If you always log in as admin, be aware that this is bad practice.  It gives you much more access than you need for normal tasks, and along with that the ability to corrupt or destroy vital software, including the OS!
    If you are the administrator or sole user of a computer, you should have two login names - one for admin, and another for all other uses set up as a normal user (no privileges), preferably with a different password.
    Use that admin login only for those things that need it - installing new programs, updates, etc.

    Have you tried - in Mail go to the menu Mail > Preferences.
    When the Preferences Pane opens, click on the Accounts Tab.
    Click on your iCloud Account to select it.
    Click on the Advanced tab.
    Set Authentication to Apple Token.
    Close the Preference Pane.

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

  • My password will not work for software downloads?

    Hi, I am unable to access i Tunes or softwarte downloads because my password will not work. I have tried resetting my password many times. The problem persists.

    no. Can you rephrase your first question?  I am the admin. ITunes asks me for a password when I open it and it works now but I cannot install software from Adobe or  Microsoft. I am talking about updates. Apple updates do not require password now.

    Take it to Apple Store. You are covered under your 1 year warranty.

  • I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

    I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149.  It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

  • Will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
    If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

  • Samsung Fascinate Will Not Hold Charge

    My Fascinate will not hold a charge longer than about 8 hours. I went to the Verizon store and they said I should get a new battery.  I did. It held better for a couple of weeks and now it is worse thatn before.  Any ideas?

    Hello brookssanford,
    Are you still experiencing opportunities with your device holding a charge?  If so, I would suggest a factory reset to the device. Since you received a different battery the common denominator would lead towards the device.  To do the reset you would navigate to Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset>Reset Phone>Erase Everything.  The phone will reset and prompt you to re-activate the phone.  Please keep in mind this will erase everything from your device so please back up if desired.  Please let me know if this helps. Thank you. 

  • My 27 inch iMac screen will not hold position when I move it.  It just drops back to the lowest position.

    My 27 inch iMac monitor tilts forward and will not hold position when I adjust it up.. Is there a tension adjustment for the monitor position?

    That is a hardware issue that will be covered under warranty if the machine is a 2012 or later iMac. Bring it into your closest Apple Store or AASP for repair.

    No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
    Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone?

    Ever since I updated InDesign CC (2014) approximately 22 days ago... I CANNOT get the welcome screen to not come on at the launch on InDesign. I set the preferences in InDesign to NOT show the welcome screen upon launch, but it will NOT hold the preferences i choose. Anyone else have any other ideas? I am about to lose my mind... I hate you ADOBE!!!

    that s just the problem, that is why my level of frustration is boiling over ... I have told InDesign over and over again "Do Not Show Again" but it will just not hold the settings. It might hold it for a day or so, but then suddenly there it is again on another launch. Very very annoying.

  • ARD 2.0 will not install on 10.4.9

    Just did all the updates tonight through software update....(June 03, 2007) and ARD 2.0 will not finish its installation...stops at the end "Remote Desktop is installing required software components". If I click done at the bottom, it wants to do it over and over, but never finishes.
    I tried to remove all receipts of the install, but the same thing happens again and again.
    Why do you hate me ARD 2.0?
    On a MacBook pro.... FYI.

    First, you need to have Apple Remote Desktop 2.2 to work under Mac OS X 10.4; earlier versions such as ARD 2.0 will not launch and will foul up the installation so the upgrade won't work either. What you'll need to do is to remove the copy of ARD you've installed using the instructions here, reinstall ARD 2.0, and then before you try and run or even register the application, run Software Update and have ARD update to 2.2.
    Then, you need to be aware that running the ARD 2.2 administrator application on an Intel-based Mac isn't supported since ARD 2.x isn't a universal binary. But you can force it to work:
    - Ensure ARDAgent.app is not running. In most instances, this just means ensuring that Remote Desktop isn't enabled in System Preferences -> Sharing
    - Navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ in the Finder, and Get Info on ARDAgent.app. Check "Open using Rosetta".
