Thanks in anticipation

Tim,
Thanks, for your reply. I have reset the password in the Users table. But still I'm not able to login as sysadmin. You have also mentioned in your reply that we need to update the SecurityInfo.hda file, can you please tell the path of this file. I was not able to locate this file.
Thanks in anticipation.

How to find out who has changed the SYSADMIN password?

Hi,
Is there a way to trace who has changed the SYSADMIN password in an instance?
Regards,
Neeraj

of course, this is limited to any updates to the
user, e.g. added responsibility, etc. So, it
probably is very limited in value.That's why it is recommended to enable AuditTrail, which is a way of keeping track of changes made to important data in Oracle Application tables. AuditTrail keeps a history of the following three questions:
1. What changed
2. Who changed it
3. When did the change take place

I have forgotten the iPod password.

I have forgotten the iPod password. How do I start over so I can use it with iTunes?

Hello Larry
What you would need to do is put your iPod nano into Disk Mode and then plug it in to your computer to then restore it in iTunes. Check out the article below for the steps to do that.

exp -
alter user system identified by manager;

Yes, you can change without restarting the ebs application.
And your syntax seems fine.
Thanks &

What do you do if you've forgotten the master password for reset and you've thrown out the gift reciept? HELP??????????

How do you reset the iPad if you've forgotten the master password and threw out the gift reciept?

Contact the person that gave it to you. See if they have a receipt.
Apple doesn't use the term master password.
There are two different locking mechanisms: passcode, prevents access to your data, and activation lock, prevents use of device if stolen. You do not want the students setting the activation lock.
If the passcode is set & forgotten , you can reload from backup or wipe ( first typed whip ) the device.
iPhone or iPad locked from incorrect passcode.
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says Ipad is disabled.
See how to restore from backup. No back up on your computer, click on the triangle before "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1212
The problem arises when someone sets the activation lock which is set by logging onto your apple id then setting the appropriate option. DEP is the preferred preventative. It established your organization as the owner. The student cannot set an activation log.

Describes what the activation lock does:

I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password

I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password help please?

You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. That is the only choise.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Forgotten the login password at start-up. OS X Lion.

I have been a Mac owner since 1986 but have never encounter this problem.
My father who is 91 purchased an iMac in January used it once. He is now just setting it up again after he has recently moved and this will be his only computer… finally getting rid of the PC world of Bill Gates and into a real computer. However, he has forgotten the login password at start-up which was set-up at the Apple Store.
Can I reboot the machine with a CD (have one for Snow Leopard) and change administration details this way even though is running OS X Lion?
Thanks for your help in advance as for my 8 Macs in my own business (design company) I don't use login ids at machine start-up for my employees.

Thank you Frank. This looks like an easy and straightforward fix.
However, I won't know until Sunday as my father lives in Toronto (I am 2 hours away), so will have to wait until I his Mac up and running. Then back into the world of the internet, email, Skype and all that good stuff for him.

I have forgotten the root password

I have forgotten the root pasword on my powerbook, how do I reset it?

Well, likely any PB could install 10.5.x, but whehter a newer more worthless, more demanding OSX would help is your decision...
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Trouble is appl no longer sells it, you have to search eBay & such for the full retail version, not any grey Install Disc.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

I have an old emac I want to use and have forgotten the master password. Is there anyway to reset it?

How to reset master password for an OLD emac.

Thanks. I wish I had that info earlier. Unfortunately I got a set of OS emac installation disks and tried to install and start over which basically erased everything. There were 16 disks and when I got to disk twelve it "failed" and asked to try again. I went through the whole process again and same message again.
Now I am stuck with the installer which wants me to install disc 2 to continue installation. It won't let me do anything else.
I know there must be a way to erase and start over but I'm not sure where to start. Any ideas?

HT201274 how can i erase all the settings on an ipod i've forgotten the security password too?

my dad set up my ipod years ago and has since then forgotton the password, i would like to reset it to the original settings but don't have a password, what do i do now?

It's asking you to sign in because you most likely have find my iPhone turned on. If you can connect to WiFi, I'd suggest turning off find my iPhone by going to Settings>iCloud>find my iPhone. Turn it off and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting. That will fix the issue.
