Help, I can't set my own password

Hello all,
I just did an erase and install of Tiger. After it installed it would not give me the setup assistant because it said "my monitor did not support it". (I think it's because I erased my monitor driver.) So I went and found the profile for my Viewsonic (it said they use profiles not drivers) My system folder will not let me put in the profile in without my password. but I was never allowed to set my password in the first place, so I don't know what it is.
Can anybody help?

Hi Typhoon!
See if this KB Article helps Changing your administrator password.
Good Luck!

  • Can I set up a password protected webpage within my site? CS4

    Can I set up a password protected webpage within my site? I'm using CS4 and would like to create an orphaned page for internal use only.  Is there any way you can set up a password protect on one page within an otherwise public website?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    The simplest way to achieve this would be to enable password protection for a certain subdirectory by using .htaccess. As long as you / your provider is using apache as web server this can be setup within minutes, all you need is a ftp client (plenty of freeware ones out there),
    and here's a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml Google will list many more if you search for "htaccess password"
    Or, send your provider an email, he might be willing to do it for you, maybe even for free, since it doesnt take more than 5 minutes to set up.

  • How can I set up a password to open each email account to keep privacy?

    Hello,
    Different members of the family are using the same ipad. How can I set up a password for each email account to keep privacy ?
    Thanks

    You can not - it's a single-account device, including email, so you can't set up seperate passwords for seperate emails. All or nothing, I'm afraid.

  • Can I set up a password for when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Can I set up a password when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Is there an issue just signing out?  It's a chore entering itunes store password sometimes I agree but there's no way to set a local password on AppleTV - though it's a good idea as you could have a simpler one than for itunes store.
    Ordinarily I enter my password for rentals though AppleTV ususally asks if I want it to remember it automatically.  If you sign out and sign back in you should get the option.

  • TS2771 my ipod set its own password and now i cant unlock it

    my ipod touch 2 somehow created its own password and I'm locked out.  How do I fix this so I can use my device?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Help! Can I set up desk jet 2540 on iPad

    Hi can anyone tell me if I can set my deskjet all in one 2540 up on my iPad mini? I don't have a disc drive to put the setup cd into and the installation website it gives you in the box just comes up with an error, I think maybe because I can't set it up from my iPad?

    Hi Bellesy,
    There are several ways of printing from your iPad. We just have to make sure that the printer and the iPad are connected to the same network.

    can i use my hotmail address in the mail application, and how can i set it up??? i can't seem to figure it out!!!!

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

  • How can you set a Firmware Password for Intel Macs?

    PPC macs can use the Open Firmware Password utility to protect the computer from someone booting of another drive to access your data http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
    How can this same protection be accomplished with Intel-Macs? Intel Macs use a different fireware/boot process, so OFP above doesn't work. according to the apple article above, it can be done - but it doesn't explain how:
    "Intel-based Macintosh computers can be protected by firmware passwords as well. The firmware in an Intel-based computer uses Extended Firmware Interface (EFI) technology"

    all I get is...
    Your Firmware is too old.
    The firmware on your machine is too old for Open Firmware Password to function. You will need 4.1.7 or later to use this application. Please visit the Apple website to get the latest firmware update for your system.

  • Help? can you set a password for opening iTunes?

    ok.
    my brother goes to my iTunes account and steals my music.
    not a good thing.
    so i was wondering...
    is there any way where i can set somewhat of a password so that you can only open iTunes when it's me?
    does that make sense?
    i'd appreciate your help very much.
    thanks-

    oh ok.
    yep.
    well he doesnt use iTunes or even an iPod.
    he just likes burns CDs for himself off my library.
    BUT it is posible to secure my whole iTunes or just
    the store account?
    Yes, putting a password on your Windows account will prevent your brother from accessing your iTunes music at all. It will prevent him from accessing your documents or other files as well.
    This assumes that your iTunes music is in its normal location in Windows, that is, in your "My Music" folder.
    If securing your computer from your brother (or anyone else) is important to you, I suggest you learn how to use Windows security. There are many books and articles that can help you learn to do this.

  • Help - I can't set up my e-mail on my new curve

    I have a new curve 8520, previously I had a pearl. The e-mail worked fine on my pearl and I thought I'd set up it all up ok by transferring from the old to the new with the blackberry desktop but it seems my email didn't transfer.  When I go into email set up now it says existing users need to log in and asks for a user name and password. I have tried putting in my email address and it says the field is empty? I tried putting in the first part of my address without the @gmail bit and it recognised something in the field but said it was incorrect. I don't know what else to do, any ideas? Thanks

    ok, try going here and register/login and see if you can register your email
    https://bis.eu.blackberry.com/html?brand=tmobileuk
    If you cannot, chances are you are not registered to the BIS network.
    You would then need to call your Carrier and have them add a Blackberry data plan.
    If they say you already have one, go to Options>Advanced options> host routing table> press menu> Register now.
    See if that gets it

  • Help! can't set ServerMBean.KeyStores

    I am trying to configure some Keystore and SSL parameters for a server instance, but can't seem to the ServerMBean.KeyStores attribute.
    I tried:
    cmo.setKeyStores('CustomIdentityAndCustomTrust')
    but got the error:
    "The requested attribute is not exposed through JMX: setKeyStores".
    so I tried:
    set('KeyStores','CustomIdentityAndCustomTrust')
    and got:
    javax.management.AttributeNoFoundException: Attribute is readonly. : com.bea.Name=AdminServer,Type-Server:KeyStores
    However, both:
    print cmo.getKeyStores() and
    print get('KeyStores')
    output the default keystore configuration.
    The MBean reference states that the KeyStores attribute is read/write, so what's going on?
    Thanks for any help!
