Are there two kinds of passwords?

Almost every time I have to use my password, it isn't accepted and I have to reset it. Just now, I downloaded software but when the installer asked for my password, it was rejected. I came over here to ask why, and signed in with no problem.  How do I fix this?

Here's some references on resetting the admin without the dvd:
Reset OS X Password Without an OS X CD
How to reset your Mac OS X password without an installer disc
and even a youtube video,
Hack remove reset admin Mac OSx password without cd
And you can find other references by googling "os x reset admin password without cd".

  • System fan error on g62-352ca on startup. are there two fans ie a cpu fan and a system fan?

    I get a system fan error on power up?     Are there two fans in the G52-352CA?   Ie a general system fan and a CPU cooling fan or just the one CPU/heatsink fan?
    If it is the CPU/heatsink fan then there are 4 part numbers for different options.   Is there some way to tell from the model number or features as to which is needed.    I would prefer to have the part in hand before opening everything up.    Are there better fans to buy and if so how do I find them?       This unit was always running a little on the warm/hot side,

  • Are there two versions of ipod (like US version, and EU version) or is there just one worldwide?

    Are there two versions of ipod (like US version, and EU version) or is there just one worldwide?
    I want to buy an ipod touch 5 from ebay (i'm from croatia) and i'm woried is there just one model that is worldwide or are there a few models ( like US and EU)?????

    Some features like FaceTime (prohibited in some middle eastern countries, lower volume limit is EU countries) is controlled by a unique identifier on the iPod based on where the iPod was officially sold, I would avoid getting one officially sold in a middle eastern country. A non-EU one would also be better too

    From that information, it makes sense that your calendar is off.
    Phoenix is in another time zone part of the year.   When daylight saving changed, Salt Lake City and Denver changed, but Phoenix did not.   You may have set time and date to auto, but the Mac knows the time difference and is compensating for it.

  • Why are there two separate JWS forums?

    There's this forum and http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=45 - shouldn't they be merged? Why are there two? Which one is the "official" one?

    This forum, (the java developers forums) pre-date javadesktop.org, and as can be seen by the total thread count (5000+ threads vs 64 topics) has a lot more activity on the yopic of Java Web Start.
    Javadesktop.org was created in 2003, and since it has much overlap with generic java development they also created a thread in their forum for Java Web Start.

  • Why are there two versions of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in my Programs

    I understand the annoyance and confusing issues with CC and CC 2014 programs.  I also have read in the community of Acrobat installing twice purposely?
    My question is all my CC (or CC 2013) programs installed around early Feb.  The newer CC 2014 programs updated (or installed) around late June of 2014.  I have two versions of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro listed in my programs, are they two different versions?  The one installed in Feb shows ver 11.0, the one showing installed mid August is showing as ver 11.0.08.
    Can I uninstall ver 11.0? or are these both purposely installed by Adobe.  If purposely, why is Adobe making their installs and updates so confusing and VERY annoying??
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    There isn't.  One is Acrobat, the application installation.  The other is Acrobat's Creative Cloud licensing installation.  Do NOT try to remove one.
    This is kind of documented in the Creative Cloud's Acrobat deployment documentation:  Creative Cloud Help | Deploying Adobe Acrobat
    Uninstalling Acrobat on Windows
    Once you have deployed Acrobat using the package in the Exceptions folder, you can uninstall it using the usual process for uninstalling msi packages. There are two MSI packages that are necessary to uninstall in a standalone package.  One for the main MSI package that the Creative Cloud Packager creates which is for licensing and the second MSI package which is the Acrobat Pro MSI package which is in the Exceptions folder. 
    Here is the command line syntax for uninstalling Acrobat:
    Syntax Example:
    msiexec.exe /x <path to Acrobat msi file> /qn
    Here is the command line syntax for uninstalling the Creative Cloud Packager licensing package:
    Syntax Example:
    msiexec.exe /uninstall <path to the CCP msi file> /quiet

  • Have Audigy2 in Vista, why are there two volume control icons in system tr

    Hi,
    I'm running an Audigy2 on a Windows Vista system. There are two volume control icons in the system tray. One is the Soundblaster control, the other is the Windows control.
    Are these two programs supposed to be running at the same time? Do they conflict with one another?
    Thanks for your time,

  • Are there two type of associations between objects or are there just different representations?

    I've been spending some time on 're-tuning' some of my OOP understanding, and I've come up against a concept that is confusing me.
    Lets say I have two objects. A user object
    and an account object.
    Back to basics here, but each object has state, behaviour and identity (often referred to as an entity object).
    The user object
    manages behaviour purely associated with a user, for example we could have a login(credentials) method
    that returns if successfully logged in or throws exception if not.
    The account object
    manages behaviour purely associated with a users account. For example we could have a method checkActive() that checks if the account is active. The account object checks if the account has an up-to-date subscription, checks if there are any admin flags added
    which would make it inactive. It returns if checks pass, or throws exception if not.
    Now here lies my problem. There is clearly a relationship between user and account,
    but I feel that there are actually two TYPES of association to consider. One that is data driven (exists only in the data/state of the objects and the database) and one that is behaviour driven (represents an object call to methods of the associated object).
    Data Driven Association
    In the example I have presented, there is clearly a data association between user and account.
    In a database schema we could have the following table:
    USER_ACCOUNTS
    id
    user_id
    When we instantiate the account and
    load the database data into it, there will be a class variable containing user_id.
    In essence, the account object
    holds an integer representation of user through user_id
    Behaviour Driven Association
    Behaviour driven associations are really the dependencies of an object. If object A calls methods on object B there is an association going from A to B. A holds an object representation of B.
    In my example case, neither the user object
    nor the account object
    depend on each other to perform their tasks i.e. neither object calls methods on the other object. There is therefore no behaviour driven association between the two and neither object holds an object reference to the other.
    Question
    Is the case I presented purely a case of entity representation? The association between user and account is
    always present, but its being represented in different ways?
    ie. the user entity
    has an identity that can be represented in different forms. It can be represented as an object (the instantiated user object)
    or as a unique integer from the users table in the databases.
    Is this a formalised way of recognising different implementations of associations or have I completely lost my mind?
    One thing that bugs me is how would I describe the differences in UML or similar? Or is it just an implementation detail?

    It s a bit hard to fully understand what is problem actually in :). I think you are a bit mixing some concepts.
    Entities representation
    At first, all models we are implementing is just a simplification of some real-world objects and environment. Your conceptual entity user corresponds to some real user and contains some attributes we are intresteing in according to application needs. Thus there
    are some models we have to implement.
    Thus, all user defined by DB schema, user defined by class, and probably user defined by some presentation logic is normally present some real-world user. It is only about implementation purposes, we have to store, view and manipulate with user.
    On the other hand let's take a look on Single Responsibility Principle. It tells us to use every class or program unit just for certain needs. Using single user (class or program unit) for storage and presentation needs violates this principles.
    the user entity has an identity that can be represented in different forms. It can be represented as an object (the instantiated user object) or as a unique integer from the users table in the
    databases.
    So, the answer is yes.
    Associations and dependencies
    I think it is more about terminology than about nature of problem. But in general you are right - there are different types of object realtions (especially, I will use other terms to list it). For example "referencing", "creation", "using",
    "coordinating", "storing", "inheriting" (!) ....
    According to this, user instance references account instance. And A instance uses B instance.
    For most cases it is good enough to distinguish just "referencing" and "using". It is what you've just written. It's enough common and abstract to be understood by other person when talking about domain, e.g.
    But sometimes, to emphasize some aspects you should describe relations in a way like "A dispatches ensemble of Bs" or "R stores X to database". It's more applicable for specification and modelling.
    Is this a formalised way of recognising different implementations of associations or have I completely lost my mind?
    To call something formalized I suggest to look at UML.
    UML and other modelling instruments
    One thing that bugs me is how would I describe the differences in UML or similar? Or is it just an implementation detail?
    There are a lot of UML models (diagrams). Let's take a look at most well-known - Classes and Objects Diagram.
    It's interesting that UML allows to present all type of object relations, and moreover allows to decide "is it just an implementation detail".
    Martin Fowler describes 3 levels (or point of views) of understanding of Classes Diagram.
    Conceptual. Diagram is considered as high-level domain model, independent from implementation.
    Specification. Diagram is considered as high-level realization model containing of interfaces.
    Implementation. Diagram is considered as low-level technical paper containing interfaces, classes, references, other types of relations.
    Is this a formalised way of recognising different implementations of associations or have I completely lost my mind?
    Yes, you have to fix some point of view and choose appropriate relations set.
    For example, let's take a look at Classes Diagram and consider it from an implementation point of view. UML defines 3 type of relations (and propose corresponding means to its designation):
    Association
    Association corresponds "referencing" between instances.
    Dependency
    Dependency combines all types of relations such as "using", "creating", "storing", etc.
    Inheritance.
    Inheritances as a fundamental OOP instrument is presented by UML in a distinct way. It's more about classes than about instances, but also one can say that A instance inherit attributes of B instance. So, that's ok.
    First and second points of view on Class Diagram, as I remember uses only one type of relation unifying both associations and dependencies and is designated like association (no inheritance, of course).
    Also, UML proposes Objects Diagram which is same to Classes Diagram, but fits better for runtime modelling needs.
    Finally, a choice of a set of relations taken into consideration depends on a context and point of view. UML provides some ones.

  • Why are there two versions of Photoshop (CC

    After accidentally opening two parts of the same website in DW CC and DW 2014 CC, I uninstalled the older version.  Can someone tell me WHY the new version didn't overwrite the older one?  I assume that it is necessary to uninstall older versions, but this should be automatic on the upgrade shouldn't it?.  What is the reason for this? Kind of interested because it was unexpected.
    Years ago when upgrading from CS3 we discovered that the Photoshop PDF function could no longer make PDFs with pages in newer versions CS4 and CS5 (which clients wanted) so I have kept my CS3 Photoshop pgm just for making PDFs, while running the latest version for everything else.  Is it possible that Adobe depreciated some functions in this new release of CC2014 and that is the reason for both versions of CC?  Just putting it out there, I don't spend my vacations in Roswell, NM or anything like that.
    Thanks!
    John

    Adobe, why are you making things so complicated...
    People pay for the cloud, so they want improvement, they want to go with the latest tools automatically.
    I'm a spoiled Mac user, where Apple always overwrites old apps, which is the most user friendly solution there is.
    Please do this as well, because it truly sucks to have two apps!
    Could you tell me how I get rid of the old version on a user friendly way, so my documents open with the new app.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why are there two versions of flash player on my laptop?

    I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Professional which seems to handle both 32 and 64 bit software.  I use Firefox as my default browser and use MSIE only when I must. 
    A Flash update failed so I checked the uninstall programs list thinking I'll just uninstall and reinstall the latest.
    Huh?  I found both "Flash Player 10 Active X" and "Flash Player 11 Plugin 64 bit."  Now I've no clue what failed to upgrade nor why there are two versions.  Why 10 AND 11 and why is one called "Active X" while the other is called "Plugin". 
    And, to confuse me further, there is also Adobe AIR.  I don't know what or why or how to deal with all of these.  Would somebody kindly explain?
    And, how do I figure out what update to which failed?
    frustratedfrequently

    The ActiveX Flash Player is used by Internet Explorer and the plug-in Flash Player is used by Firefox.
    Download the following files:
    Uninstaller for 64 bit Operating Systems
    Flash Player for Internet Explorer
    Flash Player for other browsers
    Close the browser and disconnect from the Internet.  Run the uninstaller and restart Windows.
    Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Windows Explorer window) 
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash 
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash 
    %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player 
    %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
    Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ system, has been deleted.
    Run both installers.

  • Are there two bugs in the forums?

    1. The forums only seem to list who opened the original question, not who last posted. To keep track of my own replies, I need to see who last posted. How to do this? (It used to be there before they redesigned).
    2. Similarly, how do I get to see only UNREAD posts, not have to start again from the top?

    For best ASC forum results Use Hiroto's changes.  See items 6 below.
    There is a missing column.  Was four columns ( ??? ) now only three.  They reduced the lettering size to get more information on the line.  I guess you could say they are listening, but can get over that they are wrong about the layout.
    With the real thing:
    https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated
    Does show last poster. It's worded as by ....  Bit misleading by it's ASC.
    Discussion lists do not.
    Here is my ASC work flow...
    1) I login.
    2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
         Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out.  The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense  ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
            Start an auto reloader. Thanks to ChitlinsCC.
    Safari = SafariTabReloader
    Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
    Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
    You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC.  I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some  logins.  It's ASC.  Change rccharles to your apple id.
    https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
    Reply technique
    Open a new browser window.  Pick some discussion.  Open a reply window.  As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in.  The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
    3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
    4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
             turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:

    5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
    Site map of Communities and Categories
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
    6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
    For FireFox
    I run with Hiroto's modification to user content.  This is the only way these forums are readable for me.  How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
    For Safari
    "ASCPowerTools is a Safari Extension designed to give more control"
    http://www.etresoft.com/ascpowertools
    7) Read and answer my old posts.  I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
    8) I use tabbed browsering.  From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

  • Why are there two ns-httpd processes running for one instance of iws 6

    Hi all,
    I'm used to iWS 4.x where there's only one watchdog and one ns-httpd process running for any given install of iWS. Now in iWS 6.x I noticed there are two processes for the admin server and two processes for the actual single web server instance, along with two watchdogs.
    What are the extra web server instances doing? I noticed that there is a 'parent' relationship with the pid's, so I guess one is spawning the other, but why? If it's to have persistent state over restart, isn't that what uxwdog is for?
    Thanks in advance,
