Changing Usernames in OS 10.4 on an Ibook G4

Hey Guys!
I picked up an Ibook G4 today, and was able to go in and change the admin password, computer name but the "short name" was greyed out and I was not able to change that from the previous user. How do I go about doing that?
thanks!
KK

  • I am the founder of a non-profit organization, a donor had just given us her used iBook G4.  What do I need to do to wipe out her "stuff", change username and password, start all over new.  We will use this iBook in our learning center in Saigon, Vietnam

    To good citizens of the MAC world,
    I am the founder of a non-profit organization, we are caring for 6,200 orphans and street kids in Vietnam.  A donor had just donated her used iBook G4 for us to use in one of our several "learning centers" in Vietnam.  Folks sometimes donating PC but this is the first time we ever received a MAC.. :-)  I would like to know how to start this iBook all over new: change username and password.  I am looking so forward to bring it to Saigon in a few days and let our children experience MAC ... I am a 2 years MAC users and I have no intention to return to the Dark side.  Please help. I have the original OS disk.  Thank you so much.

    There should be no need to zero the hard drive.
    Using the Restore discs that came with the iBook when it was new, restore the system software using the appropriate instructions which you can find through a link contained in this Apple Knowledge Base article:

    Good luck with it.

  • Issue with bringing up Weblogic 10.3 after changing username passcode

    I am facing Issue with bringing up Weblogic 10.3 after changing username passcode in security realm Madhok, basically i have removed the default weblogic user and defined m,y own custome user and provide the credentials in the server start tab. When i try and bring up the admin server it comes up fine but the managed servers fail to start from admin console and i can see security credentials authentication error in logs? Why would that be considering the admin server is able to come up with the same credentials.

    We had similar problem in the past, our problem was:
    Problem:
    We deleted weblogic default user from security realm and create new user when node manager and the managed servers were down. When we tries to bring up the managed servers after starting node manager we kept getting authentication denied errors.
    Solution:
    Recreate weblogic user and now try and bring up managed servers from command line using weblogic user. Once they are up shut them down and bring them up again with the new user you have created and it will work
    Reason:
    The managed servers in 10.3 seems to be storing the authentication details in there local managed servers ldap or cache. When you start the managed servers the don't know the new credentials and are authenticating against older values of stored credentials, hence they fail. Once they are started with the old credentials they communicate with admin servers to sync there cache with admin servers and the new credentials gets updated and from then on you can restart the managed servers with new credentials.
    Note: Sometimes after restart you may face the problem as the sync process with admin server is asynchornous, weblogic prints a line saying something like Performing async operation with server address null. If the line gets printed sync has happened and you are good. In case you don't see the line restart again and you will see the line after which you can restart with new credentials.

    unable to change username and password for wifi network

    Thanks, this solved my problem. Network kept demanding username; I guess it's different from the computer ID I use. Whatever, it wasn't easy to find the network listed, but by trial and error, I found it, highlighted it, and pressed delete key. Now the network only asks for password, which I knew, and I'm on. Great advice. But why computer was configured to do that in the first place is why I prefer PC to my wife's inscrutable macbook pro.

    Hello and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Do you have any info on your Tungsten palm that you do not want to lose? If you do have info on your TE2 that you do not want to lose, write back here for more instructions. If there is no new info on the TE2, you can go ahead and do a hard reset.
    A hard reset wipes everything off your palm. It is performed by holding down the power button while sticking something thin (your stylus, paper clip) into the back reset hole of your device. Keep your hand on the power button while you release the paper clip from the reset hole. The screen will now say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (silver button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the palm). This will erase all the info from your device.
    Now you should sync your palm. When you begin sync'ing, the computer will prompt you, "there is no user name associated with this account..." select your old user name (from your Zire 31) and then all the info will come onto your (new TE2) palm.
    I hope this was helpful!

  • Can't figure out how to change username, shortname and home directory?

    Hello,
    Trying to change the username, shortname and home directory on a new Macbook.
    I tried the following article to do this:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html
    This is my problem after trying the above article:
    I tried this but got stuck when it came to entering my password into terminal. After entering in the sudo command I hit return and saw the password prompt but when I tried to type my password in nothing happened at all as cursor never moved. I hit return again terminal tells me that there is no folder named "new user name" I restarted my Mac and tried it all over again and got the same message. When I go into the original account I see the shortname and home directory are changed but the username is the original one I started with.
    How do I make the password cursor move. Have I missed something?
    My Macbook if very new and I don't care what I lose on here. Thinking of doing a complete reinstall and updating all over again. Is there a way to fix this?
    Help anyone?

    After entering in the sudo command I hit return and saw the password prompt but when I tried to type my password in nothing happened at all as cursor never moved.
    This is intentional.
    I hit return again terminal tells me that there is no folder named "new user name" I restarted my Mac and tried it all over again and got the same message.
    Enter the actual old and new names into the Terminal instead of 'new user name'.
