My admin login password was recently changed but I forgot it. I didn't get to shut off my mac, it entered sleep so now I cannot enter recovery mode.

I know it's a bad idea to change passwords when you're stressed but I changed my admin login password and promptly forgot it after 5 minutes (there was a big commotion in the background). The problem is that now I cannot enter recovery mode, I'm stuck with the user login screen. I can log in as a guest just fine, but I need access to my files on the Admin account.
Lastly, I also haven't linked my Apple ID to my AirBook, so that is out of the question too. What can I do to gain back control over my admin account, without wiping all my data? - Currently running OSX 10.9.4

Once I get into recovery mode, do I go through the migration set up process? Should I be logged out of my account on the old macbook before I set up the new one? I really thought I knew what I was doing but am seriously confused now.
Thank you.

IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

You cannot "ssh passwd username" remotely, for one thing. Remember, the passwd command is going to ask for input from the terminal.
Also, look into the pfexec man page because you might need to change roles in order to change the password on the remote system.

EyeTV keeps asking for admin login & password!

I have EyeTV 3.1 installed into my iMac and, as my daily account is a standard user account, everytime I close EyeTV it asks for an admin login and password.
How do I solve this please?
Thanks in advance!

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.

I don't remember my admin (login) password and can't reset it

I'm trying to reset my "admin"/user password but can't figure it out??

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*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. 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 boot 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.

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.

Continually asked for admin login/password

Hi
recently my Macbook has started to routinely (three or four times an hour at least) to ask for my admin details.
Pop up says that needs this for following when click on Details;
Keychain - system.keychain and Application - pubsubagent system.keychain.
Anyway to stop this from happening ?
TIA
John

Have you launched the Keychain Access utility program and done the usual "Keychain First Aid" and/or deleted any Expired Certificates you find under the "View" Menu?
It's possible that one or more keys is corrupt and needs to be removed. It will get replaced after the access password gets used again.
I'm grasping at straws here. It seems like some automatic login is getting triggered by using your system or a program, and the keychain information is not 'sticking'.
You might check your System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items to see if there is some type of program running in the background that might be trying to log into a server or something like that.

HT5312 how do i reset my admin password, my apple iD password is NOT the same as my admin login password

all ive been seeing is that i can reset my password with my apple iD, but its not the same. and it doesnt do the command R thing or the terminal/utilities thing. so what do i do??

Phil,
First of all, to log in as the HTML DB administrator, you want to use a different page, one that ends in /pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin Try logging in there. If that doesn't work, see this thread about creating a new admin account:

I forgot my keychain login password

I don't remember my keychain password (the one you use to unlock the keychain and stuff). I've tried a bunch of different passwords that I use...like my admin. password but it doesn't work...how can I reset it or recover it? thanks

> I was interested to note your comment about being unable to reset the login keychain password after resetting the admin password on a computer with the install disk.
Resetting your login password with the install disc does not reset the login keychain password. When creating a login account and password, the password for the account's login keychain is the same as the login account password. If you want the login keychain password to be different, you must change it via Keychain Access. Changing the login account's password via an install disc does not change the login keychain password for the login account. I believe this is for security reasons. Although a thief can gain access to a person's login account and home folder/directory by using an install disc to manually change the login password for the account, this does not change the login keychain password also so sensitive data stored in a person's keychain cannot be accessed without knowing the original login account password that matches the original login keychain password.
1. If you require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver, someone can't. To have your keychain extra secure, you can also make your login keychain password different from your login password but if your login password is not the same as your default keychain password, you'll be asked for the password whenever an application needs access to your keychain and your keychain is locked - but this would be more trouble than it is worth IMO.
2. Same as the answer to 1.
3. Someone can't if you disable automatic login for your login account which is highly recommended. Even though I currently live alone, I have automatic login disabled for my login account. If someone steals my PB and has access to an install disc to manually change the password for my login account, they can gain access to all my data in my home folder/directory but not gain access to sensitive data stored in my login keychain which is not automatically changed when manually changing the login password with an install disc.
This is also where utilizing an encrypted disk image comes into play to store sensitive data but to be extra secure, you should not store the password for an encrypted disk image in your keychain. My encrypted disk images require that I manually enter the password to mount the encrypted disk images but the downside when doing so is if you forget the password for the encrypted disk image, all data stored within the disk will be lost with no way to recover it.
Overall it is probably best to store the password for an encrypted disk image in your keychain but if you give someone else access to your Mac when logged in to your account, any encrypted disk image will mount automatically when selected which is also why it is best not to allow anyone else to access your Mac via your login account.
