Help, I forgot my login name and password
After my husband restarted our iMac he informed me that he broke the computer because the screen was all white. When I went to check it out I saw the login window...which is good, I think. All I needed to do was to enter my name and password... except that I can't remember either. How do I retrieve them?
In that case locate your Snow Leopard DVD and reinstall OS X. Once you can startup you should be able to handle the rest.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

HT5129 i forgot my mobileMe login name and password
How can I retrieve my mobilMe login name and password ? I forgot them. I guess my login name was an email, but I still don't remember it
So why is it that if MobleMe is discontinues that I am getting MobileMe error when I try to sync my contacts? This message comes up that I have 350 contacts that will be deleted. I don't know how it came to that conclusion but I do not want to delete them. Click on the ? in the warning box up pops the mobileme signin to continue. It seems that if MobileMe has been discontinued this type of behavior should also be discontinued. Maybe that's why people continue to have trouble with trying to access Mobileme... because that is where the Mac system is directing them??? Still haven't solved my sync problem.

Help - Login Names and Passwords Disappear
I recently encountered a problem while using Safari. As I usually do, I accessed a website where I have to enter a login name and password, like this one. When I click "submit" or press "enter" both the name and password simply disappear. I retype the information, and again its gone when I press "enter." This happens on every site that requires a login name and password, including this site. I am using Firefox in order to access this site and post this thread.
Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this? Safari is my preferred browswer.

Thank you for your reply. I solved my problem. Many sites requiring a login name and password, including Apple Discussions, also require that you allow them to set cookies in your system. I had set Safari Preferences > Security to never accept cookies. Apparently, doing this prevents these websites from accepting any login name or password you enter. Resetting Preferences > Security to accept cookies again allows me to use a login name and password.

Config Tool - Login name and password
Hi,
When I Launch the Config tool, it normally connect to the database directly without prompting for login name and password. Where does it get login information from and where does it store these information.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
VinceIt always runs on the local machine where you Java stack is installed and connects to the default database schema (Java). You can look at the config.properties file under C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\configtool for details

The pop up that asks if I want to save this login name and password everytime I login to a site. It is huge and annoying as hell. I just want to have an option to stop it. I know it's there, I don't need to be reminded everytime and if I wanted it to remember I would use it. Give me a break.
For anyone coming in to find this, I located my answer here:

Windows Login Name and Password
Hi,
I am developing an application, which requires the windows login name for greeting and password for validating and granting privileges.
Could someone please give me the pseudo code for getting the windows login name and password.
Thanks,
Mitra.I'll try to validate some other parameter instead of
password. The password will be stored but it will be
encrypted.Bad Thing (TM). Never store passwords.
When we are able to get the UserName using
JavaScript, why can't we get it using Java.I told you how to get it. And what does Javascript have to do with anything? Just because you can drive through a very narrow alley with your bicycle, you should be able to do the same with a truck? Javascript and Java are not related in any way. -

No place to enter login name and password
After recent update there is text boxes to enter user name and password for signing in with the skype name but they are read only. Even mouise can not point to any of those controls.What is going on?I am using skype long time and this is the first I see anything like that.Is it usual microsoft attempt of humor?
What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218 What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer? In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer. P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?Thank you for your reply.
My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.

Initially, the Demon support desk asked me to reset all my browsing history which did nothing.
I tried Internet Explorer (7.0.5730.11) and this too failed initially but after several tries, I managed to log in and collect my mails.
I then logged out and tried Firefox, which failed (Incorrect log in name or password).
I immediately tried IE again and got in first time.
In Firefox (TOOLS, OPTIONS, SECURITY, EXCEPTIONS), I set web.mail.demon.net to permit the site any access that might have been denied.
The user name and password ARE correct (that would be too easy) but Firefox seems not to send one of these correctly ??? or is not sending something I.E. does.
aarghhhFrom the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
