  • Adobe flash player-reset password

    I followed instructions for adobe flash player…i forgot password and reset it…it still wont accept my new password. it wont let me finish downloading. mac wants to charge me for help.

    Hello,
    The password being requested is your computer's admin password.  Is that the password you attempted to use (some users try to use their AdobeID password).

  • Installing Flash Without Admin Password

    I'm trying to install the flash player plugin without being required to give it an admin password.
    Unfortunately, Adobe won't let me download it; the only thing they have for download is some "flash installer" application that demands an admin password.
    Click show package contents on the application, open Resources, find the installer package, show that package's contents, and open up the Archive.pax.gz file; inside, is a file called Flash Player.plugin.lzma which I have no idea how to extract.
    So how do I extract the flash player plugin from the lzma archive thing?
    Also, does anybody know what the latest version of Flash Player is anyway? Every time I think I've found the latest version, something tells me it's out of date; does the latest version require Leopard or something?

    I could use the single-user hack to gain admin access to the machine in question, but I don't think its owner would like me very much if I did that.
    You know the way to get an additional administrative account?
    see the second post in this thread. Look for additional administrative account:

    A second admin account lets you do what you need, but doesn't compromise their password. Let them know about it. Delete it after use.
    Should be able to delete from single user mode. See:

  • Flash Video With Flash Player On Password Protected Website

    Hi,
    I'm using the HTML widget to use the code for the JW flash player. I want it to play a flash video hosting on my iDisk.
    The site this is embedded on I've checked as password protected. HOWEVER...
    1) The visitor can see the site without asking for any name/password. But when they try to play the video they DO get asked for a name and password, but not the name/pass for the site. Instead the visitor is being asked for the MobileMe user name and password.
    How can I fix this?

    Where do you have the flash files located on your iDisk that you are linking to from within the HTML snippet?

  • Where are flash player parameters stored?

    Hello,

    where are these parameters stored in the computer? because i want to delpoy my parameters on all the computers in my enterprise.
    Thanks
    PS: Sorry for my bad English, i speak french

    It depends on the settings. Some you can control, some you cannot.
    What you need is the FLash Player Admin guide:

    That will help you figure out how to reach your goal of adjusting settings network-wide..

  • Uninstalling Flash Player 10 from school networked computers

    I am employed by several Primary Schools to support their PC fleets. Both schools have older technology - the one with the problem is running (mainly) Windows XP Pro SP3, with Windows Server 2003 as the server software.
    I am the latest of a long line of technicians in these schools and the communal wisdom is that upgrading Flash Player has been an issue foir some time.
    Here's the scenario. At some time in the past, the Flash Player 10 Install MSI file was used to populate the PCs with that version of Flash Player. Since that time, a string of technicians have rolled out updates on an individual basis - ignoring the .MSI file sitting in the Group Policy. At some time, someone has actually removed the .msi file, so that the automatic update no longer works, and manual uninstall no longer works either (can't find the install file)!
    We need to install Flash Player 11 (for use with several educational web packages), and manual installation only installs the package for the network (or PC) user who is currently logged in to a particular PC.
    I've reinstated the Group Policy using the latest Flash Player installation .msi for Windows. I can see that it is installing when I start the PC, but IE STILL uses the older version (10.0, I think), and the web pages in question ask me to install a later version.
    Now, I've noticed that there are several hundred sets of user files on each PC, as there is no mechanism to delete these once a login session has completed. I've noticed that there are bits and pieces of Flash Player in many of these, going back at least as far as version 8!
    The crux of my problem is What do I have to do to get Flash Player 11 working on these networked PCs? Do I have to remove all those domain user leftover files? And if so, does anyone know how that can be done from a central location (not 1 by 1 as I am reduced to now!)?

    The first thing I would like to point you to is the Flash Player Admin Guide at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html
    You obviously have already found the installer MSI files at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html - note that the first set are the 64-bit installers, followed by the 32-bit installers.
    Basically these installers should remove all older FP versions, but if they don't, try using the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    However, I am not sure if you can run the uninstaller via Group Policy; maybe you can find some information on that in the Admin Guide?  If not, feel free to ask again; there are some more knowledgeable people than me around here.

  • Can't Install Flash Player On Mac Without Admin Password

    I've already posted about this, but I didn't get a meaningful answer, and another user who posted with the exact same issue was also unanswered.
    My question is very simple: How do I install Flash Player on a Mac without an admin password? The downloadable installer demands one before it will do anything. When I click "show package contents" and extract the Flash installer package, open it up manually, and unzip the archive inside it, I get an unusable "Flash Player.plugin.lzma" file.
    I need a way to decompress the Flash Player.plugin.lzma file.
    OR
    I need a link to download the Flash Player plugin, as in the actual "Flash Player.plugin" file, and NOT an installer app, which the main download link offers.
    OR
    An installer program that can extract and install the Flash Player file into ~/Library/Internet Plugins and do so WITHOUT demanding an admin password.

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • My brand new Mac ProBook keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player

    My brand new Mac ProBook (OSX Mavericks 10.9.4) keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player and also when I try to set up adding my printer. The problem is that when I initially set up this new laptop--I opted to not have any password upon login. So what is my admin password that it keeps requesting??--that "I" did not create??

    I have heard that Adobe Flash Player and Apple OS & iOS do NOT care much for each other.
    Now half of Youtube videos would NOT play and many websites would NOT show on my Mac computer.
    This is absolutely rediculous!
    Because of the unfair monopoly, I have switched from Microsoft Windows PC to Apple Mac system a few years ago.
    Is it a MUST and worthy for corporations to compete each other by screwing up customers like this?
    What a shame!
    Big things have small beginnings and so do big failures!
    I think I will delay the idea of buying any more OS or iOS products until I can easily watch all the Youtube videos and browse all the websites!

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    Model Name: iMac
      Model Identifier: iMac12,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core i5
    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

  • Update flash player- password issue

    Adobe Flash player update is asking for my password which is valid and lets me into my account online, but will not allow me to update Flash Player.....
    advice?

    There is no sign-in password needed for Adobe Flash. However, your computer account's admin password is required to install software.
    Did you not create a password for your computer's login account? If not, then you will need to do the following:

  • How to install flash player on my system without having admin access

    Hi Team -
    I am working on my company system. I tried viewing youtube, its asking me to update the flash player and when i tried installing it shows you didnt have admin access. Since i using my company system, i dont know the password for admin. Hence pls tell any alternate to install the update without admin access.
    Thank you
    Ganapathy

    It cannot be done. Contact your I/T personnel to have them install it. If they won't, the company doesn't allow it. You cannot do anything about that.
