Can't install without Admin login and password

I have no idea where this comment should be posted...that is a clear indication that your "HELP" has failed this user. BTW, were the previous hopeless, distraught comments helpful to me? They made me feel I am Not alone in my utter disbelief at the run around you engineer into your """"support"""". Why do the people who you get on the phone after 20-40 min at 1-800-833-6687 even bother to lead you down a path that they are going to address your issue, when in fact they send you back to the website, or the forums. Which is worse. I can't say. I was sent 4 times in a complete circle.
My issue is probably DOA in your rule book as I am trying to re-install an ADOBE PRODUCT that you DO NOT SUPPORT.....It does not matter that the question I am asking has nothing to do with the product. The product is still working fine, that is why I want to install it on my current computer, When I put the disk in, I am prompted to enter the system administrators name and password. UNFORTUNATELY, I have lost track of this info and need to know how I can install this software even though I don't have this info. Many phone calls and emails later, and a lot of stress, I am no closer to knowing if this is even possible. I've been sent to the FORUMS and you know what that means. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, ArtLion,
I am moving your question to the Downloading, Installing & Setup forum. They are much more likely to have an answer for you.

How can i recover my admin name and password from my i mac. i could not get through to it.

how can i recover my admin name and password from my i mac. i could not get through to it.

What do you mean "I could not get through to it" Are you trying to login remotely?

Do i need a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

after having my mbp upgraded with new m.lion by apple tech service i noticed that applications like iphoto, garageband and imovie are gone
researched online and was told that i had to acess the `purchase` via AppStore where it asks me to log in with Apple ID and password
i used the usual admin login and password and didnt work, also on itunes and icloud the similar case
do i need to register with a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

Just use the same Apple ID and password that you used to access this forum - that's your Apple ID.
The user name and password on your computer has nothing to do with your Apple ID.
Good luck,

Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... though I was just thinking, this new User probably shouldn't be the same name as an existing one.
If that doesn't work for you (and some users have reported it has not worked for them), try Niel's procedure Making the Setup Assistant reappear.

I can't remember by FTP login and password CS4

How do I find out my login and password with Dreamweaver CS4. I can't upload any modified web pages without this password. Can I have someone e-mail me a new password? Can I just change to a new password?

>Still nothing working…
What does that mean? It's not working after you disabled your firewall?
>I DO NOT know how to start a second FTP username and password and use that in Dreamweaver.
See if this helps. It's a step-by-step guide for Hostmonster FTP.

>Could I just delete the site entirely from Dreamweaver and start a fresh one with new username
No, that's not the problem. The credentials you enter in DW must match your FTP account credentials of your site.

Product number CQ183A can not access setting in EWS keeps asking for admin login and password.

I installed the printer everything works until I try to access certain settings in the Embedded Web Server. I pops up a box asking for admin login. Initially, the status page claimed the Admin password was set even though I never set that up. Through chatting with tech support rests cleared this, it is now reporting Not Set. However, I still can not login to check/change settings etc.
I think this printer had been purchased then returned to the store because the manual was missing. I downloaded the manual and did not find any mention of how to access the password settings. So far tech support has not been able to answer my question,
Is there a default?
How do I access the EWS settings -> security to setup a password?

Hello MREnder,
From what I am reading, you may need to call in to get a factory reset done. These resets can only be done over the phone. You can find the number at eprintcenter.com under the support section.

APEX is running. I'm at the login page. Now I can't remember my admin username and password

After hours upon hours of finding fixes to get Oracle Application Express running, I am now on the verge of finally getting the test environment setup. In the frustration, I have now forgotten my username and password that I had when I created the thing.
Help?
BTW, is my default workspace called "Internal?"

login with sys account over installation folder..
e.g C:\apex>sqlplus
connect:sys/xe@xe as sysdba
SQL:>@apxchpwd
You can reset ADMIN password(e.g Apex_4.2)

How can I change the admin username and password

how can I change the default admin adminadmin username and password for the server

What version of Creator are you use?
In Creator 2 Update 1, using Application Server version 8.2, you can do the following..
1) Log into the Admin Console using the default UID/PWD
2) Expand the tree view by following this path:
Application Server > Configuration > Security > Realms > admin-realm
3) Click on "Manage Users"
4) Click on the UserID "admin"
5) enter the new password that you would like
6) Click on the "Save" button on the upper right side of the page.
That should do it for you.
Good luck

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Hello Pete from another old guy,
It sounds like you have an older iMac than the 2006 and newer model this forum covers. The problem is that, in 2006, Apple changed from PowerPC to Intel processors and third-party developers soon stopped making new software for the older processors. That's why you cannot upgrade Flash player--the current version requires a Mac the "2006 and later" processor.
However, not having a current version of FlashPlayer should not affect your ability to download. If you try downloading, do you get an error message or does something else happen?
Do you have another web browser like FireFox or Camino on your computer?
but would love to get my MAC back up to date and running right.
Well, "running right" may be doable but "up to date" may not be. You are already at as high a Mac OS level that a pre-2006 Mac can use. We need to pin down your variant to make recommendations. From your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar, do "About this Mac":
That brings up this window:
Let us know what yours say for "processor." The two choices are "PowerPC" as in the example, or "Intel." If you have an Intel processor, you have more options available.
Awaiting your report,
Allan

Cannot install Foxfire or Thunderbird without an unknown login and password.

When I download Foxfire or Thunderbird I get a dialog box that asks me to choose a pre-set login or to enter a login and password. If I chose the first option, nothing happens. If I enter a login and password, it says they are incorrect and throws me out of the installation.

Vern44,
FF and TB do not require any login or password to download or install. Did you obtain the programs from the Mozilla web site? If not, go to [[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/]] and download the programs from there.

I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

Do you have access to another Mac with a disk drive? If so you can do it in one of two ways:
1 - on the Mac with the optical drive launch Disk Utility and make a disk image of the iLife 11 disk. Connect the two Macs together and transfer the disk image to your MacBook Air. Mount the disk image and install from it. I have my iLife disks saved that way for quick and easy reinstall when necessary.
2 - connect the two Mac together so you can access the MBA from the Mac with the disk drive. Insert the iLife disk, and install from the second Mac to the MBA.
