I forgot my password to get into my mac

its the first name and password to get into the computer. there are no other options except the one that says log in

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

Upon opening MFF 3.6.3 I am asked to authenicate a username and password to get on to "fasTun". I believe this is a virus, which I am unable to find, or eradicate. This co-incided with my computer located in Canberra, Australia, thinking my ISP is in Fran

See detail in original question. Here is the text from the dialog box which comes up, with fields for Username and Password: "The proxy fastun.com:7000 is requesting a user name and password. The site says: "fasTun"." This means I'm unable to use MFF. I've uninstalled MFF and re-installed MFF and the same occurs. The problem arose after I'd been surfing the Net and got to a German site. From that point onwards my internet became very slow. When I ran "speedtest.net" my computer was going thruugh Frankfurt, Germany, instead of Canberra, Australia! Can you please help?

Every time Firefox opened

Check the proxy settings under Tools -> Options -> Advanced - Network tab, Settings button.
You probably want No Proxy, if it is set to anything else.

If you are not sure which one it is, try [[Safe Mode]] to disable all of them.

The only way to prevent to from happening that I've found so far is to close Firefox. When I open back up, go to the site the username and password are empty. This hasn't happened with previous versions of Firefox.

Lost my username and password to log into print and share on my printer

i cant access my eprint and share on my printer hp envy 5532. i have forgotten my username and password.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello scoobby,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are trying to log into the ePrint and Share app that is installed on your ENVY 5532. I suggest that you log into your HPConnected account, delete and re-install the app. Doing this should prompt to assign new login information. Once uninstalled, restart the printer before re-installing the app.
Let me know the out come, cheers!

I installed a security program called Identity Finder whick requires a master password for Firefox on my laptop, which I like. However, even though my settings are to "Show my windows and tabs from last time," I have to manually add each link in a new tab each time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

I have forgotten my password to get into my mac bokok pro. I have used my iPad to reset the password but my Mac book does not recognise the reset password.

I have reset my password using my iPad. Why does my Mac book not recognise it to allow me to log in to it?

What password did you change and what password is your Mac requesting.
Without details all you will get is guesses.

How do I disable administrator username and password entry to access ix4-300d

With the recent version 4.1.102.29716 update, I am now FORCED to enter a username and password to get into my "home based" ix4-300d NAS. This has already been a MAJOR pain for my nedia server setup, in that I am no longer able to create a network drive to one of several NAS folders on to my home network.
My question therefore is, how do I DISABLE the function of having to enter an administrator username and password to gain entry into my ix4-300d?
Thanks,
Bill

No hazzle, just do it.
This is only for admin purposes. You are still able to place your media into individual user shares or put it in the public area where they will be accessible for everyone, even if you set 'security' on.

HP1102W, XP, asking for username and password

I'm setting up my wireless printer, and it is asking for a username and password?
The wireless printer is set up and shows a status of online when I look at the printer in the browser. I recently reinstalled windows and everything on one PC. I am trying to set up the wireless printer to print from the PC that was recently reimaged. It is an HP 1102W. I click Add a Printer (next), A network printer (next), Browse for a printer. The printer shows up in my list of devices. But when I click on it, I am asked for a username and password for the PC that this printer is connected to by USB cable. I do not know what username and password it is asking for.
It does not seem to be the printer username and password it is looking for. It is looking for the username and password for the PC that the printer is hooked up to (by USB cable.). The box that comes up is a windows box and says "Connecting to SHARONS-PC" and then asks for the username and password. There is no username and password on this PC.

I finally figured it out. Even though this is a wireless network printer, it is not added by clicking on the add a network printer. Somehow, Microsoft considers this a local printer (attached to this computer, even though it is not attached to the computer or a local printer).
To add:
Click Add a printer (next), select Local Printer (attached to this computer) (next), The wizard was unable to find a plug and play printer (next), select Create a new port. From the drop down select Standard TCP/IP port (next) (next), put in the printer IP address from the configuration page of the printer. That should pre-fill the port name also (next). That should add the wireless network printer.

SOAP Lookup with username and password

I am doing a lookup using a Java UDF from PI message mapping using a SOAP receiver channel by passing a username and password to get a value from a webservice. This is passed to a field in the target side. Everything works fine.
But I want to avoid hardcoding the username and password sent in the XML for the lookup in the UDF. Anyone has any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi Param,
Are you passing the userid and password in url of SOAP Lookup? You can try using value mapping to get the password for a given username..
Else maintain it in SOAP channels and for each user id try selecting a different SOAP channel.. HEre also you can use value mapping for userid = soapchannel relationship.

BPM Default username and password

Hi Experts,
Will anyone please help to find the bpm composer default username and password to log into bpm composer. i installed bpm and trying to login with weblogic/welcome1. response is invalid ID and password. please help me out.
Thanks
SN

Usually you have to set the standard weblogic username and password at install time. Common "default" combinations are weblogic/weblogic1, weblogic/welcome123, weblogic/welcome1, weblogic/oracle, weblogic/oracle123. But there really is no "default" as it is dependent on whatever you have indicated during the install. Many prebuilt VMs from Oracle will use one of the combinations that I mentioned though.
But if none of those work, you can change the weblogic password in WLS console --> Security Realms --> myrealm --> Users and Groups as already mentioned by the previous reply.

Problem with iWeb asking for username and password to access my public site

Today for some reason anyone trying to access my site is being asked for username and password. I have made no changes that would require a password. My site has always been public.

I am having the same problems. My site is public, I checked the settings on the public folder on MobileMe to ensure that it was public and did not require password protection either. But for some odd reason, even though I didn't change anything, my site's pages seem to require a user name and password to get into them. If one continues to click cancel, the page continues to load.
This does not happen every single time, but it happens more often than not. I have tried this with my iMac, Macbook, as well as my iPod Touch, and I get this on all machines. My brother has tried logging in from another location using his Macbook Pro, and he gets the password prompt as well.
I tried turning on password protection to the site and uploading the changes, then disabling password protection and reupping the changes once again. I've tried uploading entire site, instead of just changes, but the problem continues to persist. I definitely need this issue solved since this site is important to me.
The site url is: http://www.globalwinetour.com
Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it? Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out!
Many thanks in advance!
