    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

  • Password recovery for 2960 without loosing configuration

    Hi,
    I don't remember password for Cisco 2960 switch, now i want to recover the password. I have checked few documents but would like to know few things before following these steps.
    1. Is password recovery procedure for Cisco 2960 switch is different from normal ctr+break then change the register method? As i am more confident of doing this procedure than  using mode button and then renaming the configuration file.
    2. If i follow below procedure then hope it won't erase the configuration including vlans information.?
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11756896/cisco-switch-29603560-password-recovery-and-factory-default-mode-button
    3. Pressing mode button is an alternate to using ctrl+break sequence? and long pressing of mode button does't effect anything.
    4. Restarting the switch after pressing mode button (without making any changes) will go back to previous configuration (working condition).
    Thanks.

    Password recovery for switches, like the Catalyst 2K and 3K, are far more simpler.    Read this:  Cisco Catalyst Fixed Configuration Layer 2 and Layer 3 Switches
    2. If i follow below procedure then hope it won't erase the configuration including vlans information.?
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11756896/cisco-switch-29603560-password-recovery-and-factory-default-mode-button
    I've posted a link above.  I'd recommend you read that one.  The link you've posted is about someone who wants to make a simple procedure look complicated.  
    3. Pressing mode button is an alternate to using ctrl+break sequence? and long pressing of mode button does't effect anything.
    Correct.  Get your mindset out of the password recovery of routers.  When you are dealing with some models of switches, it's the "Mode" button.  There are no "Mode" buttons in routers, hence, the Ctrl+Break key is required. 
    4. Restarting the switch after pressing mode button (without making any changes) will go back to previous configuration (working condition).
    If you did NOT rename the configuration file, yes, the switch will reboot and load the existing configuration file.  
    If you renamed the configuration file, the switch will reboot.  Finding no configuration file, the switch will load the factory defaulted configuration.

  • Password Recovery for Catalyst 6500

    Hi all,
    According to this website:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_password_reco
    very09186a00801349aa.shtml
    Password will not be activated in the first 30 second, so when we want to do
    the password recovery, we just press enter and quickly change the password.
    I tried this in the Cat 6509 but found a different result. When I press
    enter, it didn't go to console (prompt) instead, it keep asking me the
    password.
    Is there anything change in the password recovery for Cat 6500 (I've done it
    before but when I try it again, it showed a different result). FYI, i use
    this version of CatOS = cat6000-sup2k9.7-6-12.bin
    Regards,
    Affandi Indraji

    Hi Friend,
    There is no change in the password recovery procedure it is just that you might not be doing it fast enough in 30 seconds.
    Just power off and power on the switch again and then immediately try hitting enter as soon as it prompts for the first password and then follow the same procedure what you used to do for other CATOS switches.
    HTH, if yes please rate the post.

  • Password recovery for linksys slm224g2 switch

    what is password recovery for linksys slm224g2 switch

    Hi Kalpesh.
    Unfortunately this series of switches doesn't have a password recovery. Only the reset infront of the device.
    If you have forgotten the device password you have to reset the switch to factory default to access the interface again.

  • Administrator password stopped working after last software update

    Since last automatic software update (I know have Mac OS X 10.7.5 in my MacBook Pro), when prompted for the administrator password with new software installation or to unlock the "lock" in the system preferences, the following happens: the password is accepted as valid (no error message appears, and the password window dissapears), but nothing happens:
    - For new software installation, the "Install" button appears again, and upon pressing it, I get prompted again for administrator password, and the process gets looped into these 2 steps.
    - For unlocking the system preferences, the password window gets closed but the preferences are still locked.
    It seems that my password is valid, because if I purposedly enter a wrong password it lets me know it is not correct, but it just does not unlock anything or just not get accepted as before!
    Now I also see in the tool bar at the top right of the screen my name (I am the administrator and only user, I never created any alternative account), this was not there before.
    Can anyone help me to solve this problem, please?
    Thanks!!
    Monica

    I guess I misunderstood your original post. You are logged in, but you can't authenticate as an admin.
    Back up all data.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume 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 if the password is different from the old one, you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • Password Recovery for Windows XP Pro

    I have recently found a Dell computer in my house that is in good working condition. After setting the computer up, I asked the original owner what the administrator password to the login was. Sadly, the owner doesn't remember the password. I have tried logging in through safe mode and pressing ctrl+alt+del twice and trying to log in then. These tries didn't work, and I have been scavenging around for any password recovery tool I could use. On my recent trip to Best Buy, I informed one of the employees about the problem I had. To solve it, he said to restart the computer and while it was loading, continually press the F8 key, which should log me in as Administrator and could reset the password from there. I have tried this, but failed, most likely not sure if I did it right.

    I hope this doesn't come off as mean/offensive, but if you don't have a higher level of computer knowledge, doing an account password reset isn't the easiest thing in the world.
    Your local Geek Squad, or any repair shop, should be able to remove the password for you for a fee(call around to see what it is, when I was in store it was $29.99).
    There are password removal tools out there, but it requires downloading a disk image, burning it, and getting the computer to boot off the disk into a command prompt environment. It's not "hard" but if you don't know what you're getting into, it's easy to mess things up.
    If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
    I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
    Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • Help - Lost Administrator Password: Recovery Desktop Frozen

    I have an early 2009 24" iMac running 10.7.4.  I have Find my Mac active and have somehow lost my administrator password.
    I have seen other questions and answers.  I cannot log out to reset the password.  Command + R takes me to the recovery desktop.  Track pad and arrow keys allow me to navigate around the recovery screen but I am unable to select Utlilities>Terminal.  In fact I cannot select any of the other options e.g. re-install Lion etc.
    Getting desparate, so please, can anyone help?

    Thank you.  It has taken me months to get used to the light touch associated with gestures.  Nice to know that a heavy hand can still be required!!!

  • Password Recovery for Wireless Lan controller

    Hi, I am new to Wireless Lan Controller.
    I just wanted to reset the password for the Controller. Can anybody help me with this. link/procedure anything will be appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jvalin

    I think they mean that they can not type "reset system" since they can't log in in the first place.
    The key point to be made is that you need to restart the controller. So power it off if you can't login. Then console in to the controller and type "Recover-Config" as the username. This will default the configuration and allow you to start over with a new username/password.
    There is no other password "recovery".

  • Desktop Workflow Administrator Password Recovery

    I have a supervisor that changed the default password (admin) on his install of Desktop Administrator. The supervisor has forgot the password and is not able to access the application. Is it possible to reset the password without knowing the current. I have tried to uninstall and then re-install, this did not work. Password is still required and it is not the default.

    Hi,
    the docs (Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide CAD 6.6 for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Release 7.0, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Edition September 2009) say:
    Restoring the Default PasswordThe Reset Administrator Password option can be used In the event you forget a password you set up. This option resets the password back to its default value (blank) without requiring that you know the previous password.This menu option is available only in CAD Configuration Setup located on the Unified CCX server.To restore the default password:1.On the Unified CCX server, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\bin folder.2.Double-click postinstall.exe to launch CAD Configuration Setup.3.Choose File > Reset Administrator Password. The utility runs and resets the password to blank.
    I never tried it myself, but it sounds reasonable.

  • Administrator password recovery

    Hello,
    I purchased my iMac in 2008 and at that time recorded my adminstrator password on the Mac cheat sheet.  I have since upgraded to Snow Leopard and then Lion.  I went to make some changes to the accounts (family computer) and now my administrator password is not recognized.  I have never changed it that I recall.  What can I do to get in and reset the Admin. password.  Thanks.

    OK, I was able to recover my adm. password.
    Now the reason for all of this is that my wife's email acct. was not letting us email from iPhoto.  So in the course of that she was unable to remember the email acct. password (the one that she remembered was not it) so now we are back to the real problem.  Should I repost this problem in a different forum?
    I don't know how to recover her .me password is the main issue right now (I think)
    I use my Mac often but I am not real Mac savy, so I appologize if this seems stupid.
    Thanks.

  • ROMMON Password Recovery for 803 Router

    Hello Netpros.
    Whilst attempting to perform a standard enable password recovery on an 803 router, I discovered that a ROMMON password had been set. This had the significant disadvantage in that I could not set the config register to bypass the configuration on startup using the set command.
    I've browsed Google and this site and there seems to be some reference to a cookie and/or priv command that may assist with resetting a ROMMON password but this particular router does not seem to understand either of these commands whilst in disable mode.

    Hi,
    Yes, if you get this boot prompt with the ">" and not "#" that means some joker set a ROMMON password without reading the documentation what is the impact of that (and not documenting it as well). You have to contact Cisco TAC to clear that password, it's not written in any documentation how to clear it.

  • Password recovery for mds

    I have never worked on a MDS switch and I am tasked with password recovery on a mds9216. Please clarify the following step outlined in the recovery document. What command will I use from the switch(boot)# to find the correct file to load?? I am thinking
    dev
    dir flash
    switch(boot)#load bootflash:san-ios.img

    It would be dir bootflash: and the load command would work only san-ios.img is there. More than likely it looks more like this format: m9200-ek9-mz.2.1.2e.bin
    But, yes, you have it in a nutshell. This is a sample of what it looks like if you don't have a SAN-OS on the bootflash:
    Switch(boot)# config t
    Switch(boot)(config)# interface mgmt 0
    Switch(boot)(config-mgmt0)# ip address 172.18.172.57 255.255.255.0
    Switch(boot)(config-mgmt0)# no shut
    Switch(boot)(config-mgmt0)# exit
    Switch(boot)(config)# ip default-gateway 172.18.172.1
    Switch(boot)(config)# exit
    Switch(boot)# copy tftp:m9500-sf1ek9-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin bootflash:m9500-sf1ek9-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin
    Switch(boot)# load bootflash:m9500-sf1ek9-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin

  • Administrator Password Required for External Drive

    I recently started to get this message when hooking up my external drive. "Device Sentry", "Security Alert!" "An Administrator password is required to allow this volume to mount." When I enter my password the drive shows up. This has never happened before. I do have the requirement to enter my password to start up, but never to turn on my external drive. Anyone have any ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Kurt, you obviously have Internet Cleanup 8 or higher installed, that is the source of the message...

  • Password Recovery for a GoLive site

    Is there anyway to recover a password from a site that is built in GoLive? And if so how is it done. I've done internet searches and haven't found any way to do it.
    I have an old GoLive site that I'm working on and need to recover the Password so I can move the site over to Dreamweaver.
    thanks for your help.

    The best option to deal with a forgotten password is to reset that password. Nobody should be using old passwords. That is a security risk. Passwords should be refreshed regularly. You can refresh a FTP password by contacting the hosting company. If the master account for the password is also not known, the hosting company can typically refresh that once you prove your identity by confirming the method of payment (credit card number).
    There are two ways that I have recovered passwords from my own computer. These methods require that you have at least one program on your computer that can still connect to the FTP site.
    One way is to 'sniff' your network traffic to see what plain text username and password is sent to the server. This will not work on SFTP connections (and is why you should use SFTP connections to be more secure).
    The other way is to use a password revealer tool. Whenever you see a password field filled with asterisks, there is a password behind it that can be revealed.
    Both of these methods can be accomplished with freeware. Should you look for these easy-to-find tools, be sure to get them from reputable sources. You should not want password revealer malware running on your computer that can secretly send your passwords home to the software's creator.
