Changing Login Name and Password

Greetings,
I gave my MacBook Pro to my brother and would like to change the computer owner name, login and password so it comes up as his computer. Where and hos do I do this?
Also, I did a Software Update and was prompted for my user id and password. I would like to change all of these for him. Can I get some help here?
Thank you!

The Computer Name is changed in Sharing preferences.
The owner's long name and account password can be changed in Accounts preferences.
To change the short or user name, however, requires an involved procedure. See the following article and use the last procedure called The Full Monty: Macworld | Changing the short username in Leopard. Alternatively, you can create a new admin user account for your brother with whatever long and short user name he desires. Then log into that new account and delete your old account.

  • How do I stop the Key from popping up everytime I log on to a site with login name and password. This pop up is big and annoying and I'm ready to go back to IE than have that thing pop up huge and annoying.

    The pop up that asks if I want to save this login name and password everytime I login to a site. It is huge and annoying as hell. I just want to have an option to stop it. I know it's there, I don't need to be reminded everytime and if I wanted it to remember I would use it. Give me a break.

  • I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

    Mac Book Pro
    1TB Time Capsule.
    Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
    However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
    When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
    Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
    So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
    Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
    (And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

    Simply reset the Time Machine.
    See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
    You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
    Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
    Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

    Hi all,
    If this question has been asked before, please let me know, and I am sorry for duplicate the question raising.
    I want to use the login name and password which are entered from the left frame(topic frame) in the right frame ( the content frame).

    Q1, how can I re-use the login name and password for "B.jsp" and "C.jsp"?
    Q2, is there any security problem to do so?

  • HT5129 i forgot my mobileMe login name and password

    How can I retrieve my mobilMe login name and password ? I forgot them. I guess my login name was an email, but I still don't remember it

    So why is it that if MobleMe is discontinues that I am getting MobileMe error when I try to sync my contacts?  This message comes up that I have 350 contacts that will be deleted.  I don't know how it came to that conclusion but I do not want to delete them.  Click on the ? in the warning box up pops the mobileme signin to continue.  It seems that if MobileMe has been discontinued this type of behavior should also be discontinued.  Maybe that's why people continue to have trouble with trying to access Mobileme... because that is where the Mac system is directing them???   Still haven't solved my sync problem.

  • Windows Login Name and Password

    Hi,
    I am developing an application, which requires the windows login name for greeting and password for validating and granting privileges.
    Could someone please give me the pseudo code for getting the windows login name and password.
    Thanks,
    Mitra.

    I'll try to validate some other parameter instead of
    password. The password will be stored but it will be
    encrypted.Bad Thing (TM). Never store passwords.
    When we are able to get the UserName using
    JavaScript, why can't we get it using Java.I told you how to get it. And what does Javascript have to do with anything? Just because you can drive through a very narrow alley with your bicycle, you should be able to do the same with a truck? Javascript and Java are not related in any way.

  • Config Tool - Login name and password

    Hi,
    When I Launch the Config tool, it normally connect to the database directly without prompting for login name and password. Where does it get login information from and where does it store these information.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Vince

    It always runs on the local machine where you Java stack is installed and connects to the default database schema (Java). You can look at the config.properties file under C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\configtool for details

  • How do I change admin name and password on install for PS 7.0 for Mac

    I have an old 7.0 full photoshop disc from a business that closed a couple of years ago. When I try and install it asks for a administrator name and password. The person who used to work for the company and install the programs on our computers is no longer around. Is there I way I can bypass this or change the name and password so I can install Photoshop on my new Mac laptop? Thank you.

    Change the password with your OS X install disk. See

  • Help - Login Names and Passwords Disappear

    I recently encountered a problem while using Safari. As I usually do, I accessed a website where I have to enter a login name and password, like this one. When I click "submit" or press "enter" both the name and password simply disappear. I retype the information, and again its gone when I press "enter." This happens on every site that requires a login name and password, including this site. I am using Firefox in order to access this site and post this thread.
    Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this? Safari is my preferred browswer.

    Thank you for your reply. I solved my problem. Many sites requiring a login name and password, including Apple Discussions, also require that you allow them to set cookies in your system. I had set Safari Preferences > Security to never accept cookies. Apparently, doing this prevents these websites from accepting any login name or password you enter. Resetting Preferences > Security to accept cookies again allows me to use a login name and password.

  • Firefox had saved my login name and password for a site, when I changed the password, FF won't ask to save/update it so I have to enter it manually now. How do I get it to prompt me in FF7.01?

    Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
    The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
    When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
    I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
    I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
    How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?

    Thank you for your reply.
    My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
    The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
    After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
    So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
    Regards.

  • Help, I forgot my login name and password

    After my husband restarted our iMac he informed me that he broke the computer because the screen was all white. When I went to check it out I saw the login window...which is good, I think. All I needed to do was to enter my name and password... except that I can't remember either. How do I retrieve them?

    In that case locate your Snow Leopard DVD and reinstall OS X. Once you can startup you should be able to handle the rest.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
