Cant log in

I had to restart my computer and it asked me for my password to login. I havent had to use my password in years and when I put it in it it says it is wrong. Also at the top it says MacBookPro (2) Is that right? HELP i need my computer for work!

did you change the password of the router before?
it is possible that your browser have saved the previous password.
you can do eitherof the following:
a) clear the cookies of your browser
b) use another browser to access the setup page
c) use another computer to access the setup page.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

I need to "reboot" my iMac. Cant log in, profile account file(s) problably missing

I was deleting some applications etc. on my iMac when the screen suddenly toned down
and a message said that i had to restart the computer (by holding the power-button).
After that I cant log onto my account. This message pops up;
"You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account "daniel" at this time.
Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred"
So I guess that I must have managed to delete some file that belonged to the "daniel profile".
This is mainly a problem since this is the only account on the computer with no Guest-
account activated either. Since their is no option to create a new account at the start-up
dashboard... well.. you see my problem.
So what I have done so far is to try a Safe Boot. The support page here on this site said
that this will include a automatic disc check and repair.. However Im not sure if that
worked at all because i still had to (try) to log onto the Daniel profile which didnt work.
And no difference was made after restarting again.
I have no Mac OS X Install Disc avaliable at the moment, hopefully its still around somewhere.
Since i didnt live where I live now when i got the iMac its problably in my former home
(parents).. Not an option right at this very moment.
So instead i am now moving on to the Single User Mode and Fsck. I write the
whole /sbin/fsck -fy and i do get a FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED message (one time),
even goes for some more rounds just in case.
I reboot but the problem is still there.
So instead i tried to create another user through the Fsck with
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Which take me to the initial set-up screen however i can now not pass the
screen where you choose language (i click a language and the screen goes black
for a sec and then it turns back to the language screen again)
So i do "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone" and is now back to where i started..
Im thinking that maybe deleting the user ("rm - R /users/username") would
be something that might work.. but then again i dont know..
Also im starting to think that some of the problem is in that i changed the account username
it says "Namn" at the login screen but as i wrote "Namn" cant be find in the system,
but the old one "(Daniel") does.
... Any ideas? Is there anything I can do? Will the CD work? If i dont find the CD can i get another one?
Does your average computer store has knowledge about things like these?

Apple Store should be able to help, I doubt just any computer store will know how.
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

If account was renamed that won't be good at all.
Do you have a Backup?

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

Ever since local provider qwest installed Bing (without permission) i cant log into my gmail account for over 2 weeks, and getting desperate here.

local provider Qwest nstalled "Bing" onto my internet without my permission , and since then, i cant log into my Gmail acct. Wont recognize my name or PW. no log in for over 2 weeks now. Getting desperate. i have asked for help using online support dozens of times with no reply from mozilla

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

After 10.5.1 I cant log in on MBP and FileVault is on

I have a BIG problem. I installed the 10.5 from an update CD. That was fine. I then downloaded and installed update 10.5.1 and since then cant log in as I get error messages at log in screen to do with FileVault. Apple said to do a new archive install but to uncheck the Keep User or whatever it is option at the start so that I could then recover the previous user. Didnt work. For some reason I just cant manage to log in at all even with the new account I created. Apple then said it looks like a may loose the lot.
I think there is a system error and wonder if the whole thing needs reinstalling from the ground up. I was planning to copy the Previous User folder over to my iMac and then after the new OS is on then move it back and try to recover it as a previous user this way. Is this a bright idea or am I heading for certain disaster? Is there a better solution?
Further I am now sick of FileVault so tried to turn it off on the iMac but it said it needed 4000+GB to archive. That seems a bit excessive considering my HD is only 250GB and there is only 100GB used.
I would really appreciate some help here.

I got the solution from another post...
use the Finder to navigate to /library/preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete NetworkInterfaces.plist ( you will be prompted for username and password), then reboot. You will get a message about new network interface found--just reset the network info.
That did it for me.

1) Click on Start
2) Type cmd and press enter you will see a new window
3) type "netsh winsock reset"
4) restart the machine
