HELP needed! HACKED NOW LOCKED OUT

Hi all
I am very new to apple and not very good with IT anyway so please be gentle with me!
I bought a new mac a few months ago which my boyfriend (whom I am 38 weeks pregnant with!) talked me into and set up for me.  7 weeks ago I caught him cheating and kicked the lowlife out,  I changed all my passwords etc set up a new email account but was convinced he still had remote access, I turned off remote access and removed him as admin, still He seemed to have access (told by lots of IT savvy people this wasnt possible) BUT then I couldnt sleep one night and was on computer as he was accessing, I quickily photocopied some of the things he was looking at bank account, email account, facebook messages and even had copies of text messages that were sent to MY iphone??? etc then pulled the plug police came out he got arressted and cautioned for misuse of computer act but as he EXPLAINED how he did it (not really just gave them enough) they didnt bother going into the system in the end, he has since told me how he tied them up in circles and bluffed his way through which he finds highly amusing!!! Picked up mac yesterday got up in the middle of the night so I could get on with no interference from him, even though it still says im admin it wont let me put anything in anywhere I can open things with right click on the mouse but cant close anything or change anything went back to log in page now cant access anything from there, I have no idea where the reinstall disk is,  I already know he locked me out of my mobile me account which is one of the first things he did, I have spoken to apple support and because I know nothing, and he paid for it (mobileme account) I have lost ALL of my photos (including all my photos of my little boy when he was a baby ), contacts, music everything. Please help I dont have the money to pay a fortune for a specialist to go through it, what do I do???

The best advice i can really give you is to start again,
this is a mac pro right? not a macbook?
if thats the case, buy a new internal hard disk, put it into a spare sled, and reinstall OSX onto it and set it up yourself, a new copy of osx isn't to expensive, once you've done this you should be able to get back into the old disk and take back the files that you want, then in system prefrences setup some serious firewalls and turn your filevault on, to prevent further security issues.
once you've got everything you need, go into disk utillity and just wipe the old hard disk and volia you have a brand new system with more storage than you had before.

    Take your original proof of purchase from an Apple authorized retailer (or Apple Store) and the police report, make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they should be able to help you.

         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
              Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
              to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • Replaced optical drive now locked out of hard drive hdd start up drive will mount

    replaced optical drive now locked out of hd start up drive will not mount can some one help me

    I didn't ask you if you thought you ordered the correct optical drive...
    You opened up the machine. You made a change. Now it doesn't work. Reverse what you did and see if it works again.  I'm assuming that the machine actually worked before you did this, right?

  • HT4061 how do I get my password accepted if i am now locked out?

    I tried getting into iCloud, I was informed my password was incorrect. I followed the program to change the password. I received a text notifying me that it was accepted.  Tried getting in with my new password, I was denied, wrong password.
    I am now locked out of iCloud, unable to receive or send mail. How can I get a password that will be acceptable and work when I use it in iCloud?

    The article from which you came has instructions on what to do. If you'll read the entire article, then you'll find the information you need.

    Hi Email_user_02,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.  I am very sorry to hear you have been locked out of your email account.
    If I had to speculate as to what has happened I would think that when the home move order was placed your email address was not moved to your new account.  If your email is not linked to a broadband account or premium mail then the message you are receiving would be correct.  However its clear that this is our fault and I am really sorry about this. This is something that I can sort out.
    Can you please get your details off to me in an email?  Just click on my username, (SeanD) and you will find the 'Mods contact link' under the 'About me' section of my profile.  Once I have your details I will be able to confirm what has happened but more importantly I will ensure that nothing happens with this email address.
    Cheers

  • Remote user received a "deny log on locally" policy - and is now locked out

    Hello,
    A traveling user who received a "deny log on locally" policy remotely.
    He was accidentally added to a wrong group and is now locked out. 
    What are the steps to clear this policy?  We have a backup local admin account I can remote into.
    I appreciate any suggestions or comments. 

    > What are the steps to clear this policy?  We have a backup local admin

    Resolve the wrong setting, remote into the machine and issue "gpupdate
    /target:computer". Reboot and go ahead :)

  • I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

    Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
    If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
    (Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

  • I just loaded ios7 on my I phone and am now locked out.  I've tried every password I can remember

    Just loaded ios7 to my iphone4 Bd am now locked out.  No password I've tried works

    Is this a passcode lockout or an Activation Lock?  Is it asking for a 4-digit passcode or asking you to enter a password for an Apple ID?

    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
                iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    You will have to restore it form Recovery Mode as it states in the artcile that brought you here.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
