Computer does not accept id and password

My friend just bought a new iMac computer, which does not allow her to access it because it is rejecting what she considers to be
her correct id and password. Is there a way to circumvent this problem? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You can always start up from the install DVD that came with the Mac. That will allow you to reset the password. See: Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password

Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

When trying to install firefox the program does not accept my administrator password but I know I am using the correct password.

Firefox's installer program does not accept my administrator password. The program won't load. I tried it with version 8 several times a couple weeks ago. Now I just tried it with version 9 a couple times. No luck.
I have been using Firefox as my default browser for may years and would like to continue using it.
thanks

Facebook login does not add user and password to the account

Hi
PROBLEM
Facebook login button does not create user and password for login.
We wish we could ONLY use facebook login button to allow users the account creation on our campus.
So we disabled the user creation webform.
And only out facebook login buttons that students can only login to our campus using their fb account in the hope that they dont share it (hopefuly)
AND
This is a problem BECAUSE if I publish events and capture leads ALL those users have problems creating their user account latter.
CASE IS
1.- A person comes to my website and leaves a comment. This creates a register with their email and name.
2.- Days later this same user comes back and clicks a facebook user login/ account creatio.
2.1 The page now shows that user name as it comes from Facebook. BUT NO USER AND PASSWORD information added to that person's register in the CRM.
So
If some one leaves a comment, register to our mailing list FIRST
and SECOND tries to create his account afterward. IT DOESNT WORK
Any ideas?
Thank you so much in advance.
P.S.
This is the web page. If you 1) Leave first a comment and 2) click on fb login/create account button the profile renders unusable. I have to delete it so you can create your user

After power on will not accept name and password

Having trouble with MacBook Mac OS X 10.6.8
At start up will not accept name and or password. Gives IP address info then network accounts unavailable.

Hi Beebop1991,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Administrator User account and password.
It sounds like your computer is booting up to a network drive instead of your Macintosh HD.
If this is the case, follow these steps:
Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
Follow these steps:
Turn on, or restart, your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option key. After a few seconds, the Startup Manager should appear. The Startup Manager scans for available available volumes.
Use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard to select the volume you would like to use.
Press the Return key on your keyboard to start up the computer from the volume you selected.
If this does not resolve your issue, and you need to change your Administrator password, follow the steps below for Snow Leopard:
OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
In Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier, follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.
Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the disc yet.
Note: The default keyboard layout is U.S. English while started from the installation disc. If you use a keyboard layout other than U.S English, use the Input menu (the flag icon on the right side of the menu bar) to select the desired layout before typing a new password.
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Select the user name of your original administrator account.
Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
Enter a new password.
Click Save.
Click the red button in the upper left corner to quit the application.
Choose Quit Mac OS X Installer... from the Mac OS X Installer menu.
Click Restart.
After following these steps, you'll want to also follow the steps in this article.
Mac OS X v10.6: Resetting the original administrator account password on a Mac that has no optical drive
These steps require a second computer that has an optical drive.Note: If the second computer is a Mac, make sure Mac OS X v10.5.3 or later is installed. If the second computer is a PC, make sure the DVD or CD Sharing Update 1.0 for Windows is installed.
Open "Remote Install Mac OS X" from the Utilities folder.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
For more information, see Sharing DVDs or CDs with Remote Disc.
Additional Information
You can press the Eject key on the keyboard to eject DVD media. Inserting a startup DVD will add that DVD to the list of startup volumes (as in the image above). You can also attach FireWire or USB external hard drives to add to the list of startup volumes.
This startup volume selection is temporary. To set the default startup volume for your Mac after your computer is running, open System Preferences and choose Startup Disk from the View menu (in Mac OS X) or open the Boot Camp control panel (in Windows).
I hope you are back on track soon!

It wants a password, but does not accept my normal password

it wants a password, but does not accept my normal password

What do you mean by your "normal password"?
Each of your email accounts must have its own password, regardless of any you use to login to your computer.
Which email provider are you using? Firewall? OS? Version of Thunderbird?

Mac app store does not accept my apple password

The Mac App store does not accept my password for my apple ID. A red line appears that says "an unknown error has occured." The ID and Password are being typed in correctly, I am 100% sure of that. Credit card is up to date. Itunes is working fine and logged in to Apple ID. Ipad and Iphone are logged in, working fine. Have not installed Maverick, still using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. I was going to update to Mavrick, but not sure I should with all the negative reviews and now this problem. Please help, thanks!

It's been reported that Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

Server does not recognise user and password

unable to email photos. server does not recognise user and password

This is a quite interesting issue. Perhaps it may help if we start by trying to understand what caused the issue and then we will consider how you might recover from it.
One of the things that Cisco wanted to do as they released version 15.0 was to improve the security of passwords in IOS. So they designed and implemented a new "type 4" password which they intended to replace the previous "type 5" password used for enable secret or for username secret passwords. So in those versions of 15.0 if you configure enable secret or username secret for passwords the IOS would create the new type 4 password.
Then you reacted to some problem and loaded an older version of IOS. 12.2(55) does not understand the type 4 passwords. So as your switch booted on this version of code and it read lines in the startup config that had type 4 passwords it did not understand them and marked them as invalid input. So the result is that your switch does not have an enable secret and perhaps usernames do not have passwords.
I do not know if you will be able to recover without doing password recovery but I have a suggestion which you can try. See if you can login on the console. It may depend on how your switch was configured whether it will let you do that and whether it will let you get to enable mode on the console. The default behavior was to allow the console to get to enable mode without a password. If your configuration includes aaa authentication enable default enable then the console may not work and in that case I believe that your only alternative will be password recovery.
