Brand new Mac Mini data transferred instore - what's my admin password?

Picked up my new Mac Mini today from Apple Store, data has been transferred from my windows laptop. They've set up a user account with the same password as my laptop.  I've tried to download Flash from Adobe - one of the main uses of the Mini will be for internet TV - and it's asking me for a password. My login & Apple ID  passwords aren't working. I don't know what the admin password is
I've since looked at a few other settings & I need the password there too.
I've only briefly used a Mac before, several years ago, so I'm very confuddled & frustrated.
Can anyone please help

Ha problem solved      . . . . .  after about 30 minutes on the phone to tech support via south east asia & neither of us being able to understand each other very well and trying the same thing over & over & it not working . . . . . . him booking me an appt at the Genius Bar . . . . .  I quickly called the store I bought the Mac Mini from . . . . . the password is set up as no password . . .  so I needed to do was press return . . . . .
Thanks for your help

  • Spotlight is not working on brand new Mac mini

    Hi,
    I got an issue with two brand new Mac minis running 10.7.3 (11D50d):
    Spotlight is not working. I'm only getting the Wikipedia-Search.
    Here's what I did:
    Installation:
    - took the stock Minis and set up two users, admin and user (limited account)
    - updatet the System
    - installed manually: Adobe Reader X, Office 2011, Firefox 12, Flip4Mac, Perian, Cyberduck, Google Earth 6.2 (the installer without the updater), VLC 2
    - installed using AppStore: CalendarBar, TextWrangler, Unarchiever
    - copied a few documents (Word and Excel files) from a PC to the Desktop
    Troubleshooting:
    - tried to restart Spotlight by adding the entire harddrive to privacy using »Spotlight« within the System Preferences
    - that threw an error "no priviliges"
    - started the System from the recovery system (on an USB-thumbdrive) and repaired permissions
    - that did not help
    - tried to restart Spotlight through the Terminal, running the command: sudo mdutil -E /
    - that command returned: No index.
    - the tried: sudo mdutil -i on /
    - returned: Error: unable to perform operation.  (-400) No index.
    - went the hard way
    - unloaded the daemon: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    - erased the Spotlight folder: sudo rm -fr .Spotlight-V100/
    - loaded the daemon: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    That made everything work fine until I did a restart of the System. After the mini restarted I was back at square one...
    Does anyone have an idea how to fix this issue?
    Apple support suggested to reinstall the system. Something I can't do right now, as people need to work on those computers and cannot take a tow hour break...

    Hi Ray Land,
    We can help narrow down the cause.  What operating system are you using on your new Mac Mini? 
    If you are running the Mountain Lion OS, you can download the latest driver here.  An important note is that the current print queue must be deleted before installing the new driver.  This will ensure proper communication.
    If this doesn't work or you need further assistance, please contact us here.

  • No video on brand new mac mini

    I am trying to get a brand new mac mini going for the first time, and although it switches on, there is no video on the attached VGA display.
    I have connected the same display to my Ibook VGA adapter and it works perfectly, so it is not the display. I have also tried another display which also works on the I book. What else can I do other that take it into a mac store as I am a very long way from one?

    Here is an assortment of Apple technical articles dealing with this sort of thing. Good luck.

  • How do I pair an apple key board to a brand new mac mini?

    How do I pair an apple key board to a brand new mac mini?

    Have you tried a wired keyboard to turn on the BT system?  Macs can require some special key-combinations that *must* be seen before the OS starts and BT sometimes does not activate before the OS.

  • How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

    How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

    Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
    Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

  • Brand new Mac Mini,  No Maciintosh hard drive icon on desktop

    How do I get the Macintosh HD to show up on the desktop. Brand new Mac Mini 10.6.2.

    Use the Finder menu 'Preferences' - 'General' tab.... 'Show these items on the desktop: [√] Hard disks'

  • How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled?

    How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled, as stated when I bought it, without opening the box and booting the device? It says "Copyright 2012 Apple Inc." on one of the sides of the box, which makes me uncertain.
    If it does not have Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled I might have bought an old device, in worst case as old as a year or more.
            /Birger

    The late 2012 does have USB 3 !!
    I specifically waited to purchase a Mac Mini
      until USB 3 was made available.
    Look at the diagram (picture) on the bottom of the box.  The diagram that details which ports are available on the unit.
    If you see 3 after USB.. then it is a late 2012 Mac Mini.
    Looking at my box it clearly says USB 3.
    I don't think there has been any changes to the Mac Mini since late 2012.
      other than the pre-installed OS being Mavericks now..
    You will want USB 3!!!
    My box also indicates it is version 2.6 (just above the Airport ID).
      (Mine is definitely a late 2012 model).

  • Updated iMovie on my brand new mac mini and lost "SPEED" function.

    Updated iMovie on my brand new Mac Mini and lost "SPEED" function.

    Hello bbryson68, I'm sure you've just over-looked it.
    The answer is to click on Adjust above the Clip in Viewer, this will bring into view a adjustments bar also above the Clip.
    Now you just have to select the speed via the Turtle icon. Once the clip has been speed-up or down, you'll get a Slider
    over the clip in question & a Rabbit icon indicating the clip has been speed-up.
    If you want to  keep audio undistorted check the Preserve Pitch checkbox above the viewer.
    The Clip Slider & icon of Rabbit appear in the Clip-Trimer window below the main Clip, also check your Pref's to see if you have
    Apply Slow Motion checked? This will slow or speed up all other clips to the first clip.

  • Brand new Mac mini only boots into recovery mode...

    I just picked up a brand new mac mini a couple of hours ago and right from the start, it asked only for a language perference and then after that having been selected, promply went straight to the OS X Utilities screen. 
    I cant seem to get it out of this mode.  And because I do not have an internet conncetion set up on it, I can't, for example, re-install anything or restore or...
    It's basically a boat anchor right now.

    Startup holing the Option key and see if the Startup Manager will allow you to select the Macintosh HD.
    see > Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
    If not, then return it for either a full refund, a replacement system or help.

  • Kernel Panics-Brand New Mac Mini

    I am experiencing ongoing Kernel Panics on a new Mac Mini (purchased in July 2012). Running Mountain Lion, 8 gig RAM (Apple Branded). What I've tried to fix it:
    Took to Apple Store, hardware test: Passed
    Reinstall of Mountain Lion
    Uninstalled various 3rd party software including: LogMeIn, PS3 Media Server, Fuse, NTFS+ (don't recall exact name), DVD Fab.
    Disconnected all external devices including External Hard Drives, DVD Drives, cameras etc.
    They keep coming, pretty much daily (often 2 or 3 a day).

    Big ole' me too here. Tried on 3 different Mac minis. First 2 were originally Mac mini servers that were reformatted and Base OSX 10.8.2 installed, no server. Lots of automatic reboots. Only app added was FM Server. These were installed from scratch, no user migration, no other apps installed. Last Mac mini was a straight non-server, brand new off the shelf, only FMServer installed (and FM Pro - not running). Getting reboots from kernel panic several times a day. All these Mac minis had SSD drives. I have Time Machine running, but its set to ignore the FM Server folder. FMS is set to back-up the DBs to a FW800 connected drive. Apple Display connected via Thunderbolt -not sure any of this matters. (Also repaired permissions, ran fsck, Safe Boot, etc...).
    Don't know much about tracing the reason for a kernel panic but saw this near the top:
    BSD process name corresponding to current thread: java
    It's been happening for months, been banging my head aginast the wall thinking it was something I've done...

  • Is it possible ro clean install Mountain Lion over Mavericks on a brand new mac mini

    Is it possible to "clean Install" mountain lion over mavericks on a brand new mac mini

    Actually evrything I can find states that the last mini to run SL was 2010.
    It appears that the 2012 mini's shipped with Mountain Lion and later Mavericks. Link
    Also why would the OP need a bootable SL installation media when they want to install ML?

  • IPhoto - crash on startup on brand new mac mini

    Try reinstalling iPhoto from the App Store.  You may have to move iPhoto to the Trash bin in the Dock (but don't empty yet), go to the App Store and download and install it again.
    If that doesn't help you'll need to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.
    Lastly you have 90 days of free phone support from Apple so if all else fails call them.

  • I am unable to use my external CD player. I am told that the player is being used by another application, and that is not true. I have quit everything and restarted. I've unplugged the unit. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. What can I do?

    I am unable to use my external CD player. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. I am told that the player is being used by another application, but it's not true. I've forced everything to quit and restarted. I've even unplugged the unit and let it rest. I've turned off and unplugged the mac too. I cannot make a CD. Why?

    I misread your message. I thought it said I did not have burn support with the Samsung hardware.
    When the CD goes in it says You inserted a bland CD. choose an action from the popup menu or click ignore
    open finder
    open itunes
    open disk utility
    make this action the default
    eject         ignore           ok
    However, when I am making CDs. I am in itunes. That is where my recordings areI haven't tried to do it from this vantage point.
    I don't know how to make a screen shot on a mac.
    I go to my playlist and click on the little gear icon at the bottom left and I leave things as they are - preferred speed - maximum. I leave it on audio CD - and then I select BURN.
    When I tried this the other day, I could not get it to burn, no matter how hard I tried - everything I could think of, using a different CD, force quitting everything I was not using, restarting the computer, unplugging the CD hardware and plugging it back in after a little while, nothing worked. I got that message that said my player was being used by another application every time I tried to make the CD.  This took over an hour. I don't know of another way to make a CD on the mac; I was not using another program or application. Now it seems to be working fine. I am burning another copy of something I gave away.
    I wish I knew what caused this. It was a real problem Saturday morning.
