How an Admin user log into a lock out standard user account?

I remember that I was able to override the access to the standard account user when the standard user has the screen lock out. This appear to be missing in Lion. Has anyone knows how to do this in Lion? Thanks.

From my personal experience I can say that at times, four folders (i guess Assets is one of them) somehow get left in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer folder.
I delete them and restart my system.. and reinstallation works fine. If that's the case with you, you can try it.
CS Cleaner tool might also help.
Thanks

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:

Safari problem & how do I do admin user account fix

Using Safari 1.3.2, QT 6.5.2, OSX.3.9 on Mac G4. I have not chosen to upgrade to QT 7 or Tiger because of other apps on this machine.
Safari crashes when I try to empty cache. Problem started after upgrade to above and installing flip4mac. - not sure which caused the problem.
I've already thrown out the suggested things from Safari prefs, plist, cache files from prefs, etc. I also trashed all of the fllip4mac pieces. Didn't fix the problem.
The only solution has been to log in as a different user. So, I guess I have to fix or delete and re-do the problem user account, which is my main admin. user account. I see that the dialogue box says I can save the user folder items into a "deleted user" folder.
Before taking this step, I want to know what happens then? Do I just drag the items back into the new admin. account? I would like some info before I take this step - don't want any regrets. If I can and do drag stuff back, any chance it would bring the problem with it? Will I get all my setting back? How about a step x step on setting up as new admin.?

Hi Chris
I can't help with a step by step - but did you simply trash the f4m files or run the uninstaller.pkg ??
Below is the list of commands that the uninstaller uses to remove/reset everything that was changed when f4m was installed. Possibly you didn't locate all these files?.

How many people can log into a G5 at the same time.

Thanks in Advance.
I am using a G5 as a server with external drives attached. I get a message from time to time that says "too many users are logged in at once", is there a limit to how many people can log into a G5 at once ?
All are on different users, and it's a total gigabit network.

Ten, unless you're using a version of Mac OS X Server which has no limit.

How to replace corrupt Admin user account (OS 10.2.8)?

My OS 10.2.8 Admin user account has somehow become corrupted, and is causing problems opening my Photoshop CS2 properly.
I have set a new user account and the problems with Photoshop CS2 are gone.
So therefore, I would like to set up a new user "Admin" acccount WITHOUT LOSING any of my functioning software attached to the current account (as Photoshop CS2 is all that seems to be wrong with
the current user account).
I'm pretty sure that I would just go into System Preferences and set up a new account user (me), and then delete the old Admin account.
Would this affect any of my existing installed software, as I really don't want to have to go installing about 20 GB of software again!
Any suggestions would be welcome ...... Thanks.
-David

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and create a new administrator account; from here, log in with that account. If all your software works properly in this account, it is safe to delete the original one. If you are asked which account you want to reassign items to, pick your current account.

If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.
(Glims does not work with Tiger)

Help-I want to move my stuff out of admin user account to a non-admin user account for security. How can this be done?

So... I have amassed loads of documents, videos, music, photos, etc. onto my MacBook Pro all under the admin user account I set up for myself. I am the only one who uses the MacBook. I now work virtually and am online at different free wifi spots, and I want to access all of my stuff under a non-admin user account for security reasons.
I attempted to uncheck the "allow this user to administer this computer" box under my admin user account, but it is greyed out and I cannot.
Is there an easier way to fix this than backing up all of my stuff and then moving it to a non-admin account?

There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield.

I forgot my security questions, now Im locked out of my account. How can I log in. I just wanted to change my password

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

Admin User Account is Corrupted

Is there a way to fix a corrupted admin user in FCSvr? I know this is a vague question but I have no way of finding out what caused the corruption.
My main admin user account no longer sees all of the assets within FCSvr when I search in the asset browser. I could just create a new user but if there is a way to correct this is would be helpful as I have many users on my system and fixing and existing users would be better than creating new ones.

After a little further investigation this is what I've found:
When searching for assets within FCSvr there are 2 users (of 10 or so) seem to get different when using the same search words. I've made sure the "sort by" category is set to "none" when searching so in theory everyone should get the same search results. Two don't.
I checked the StoreD Logs per dredcomm's suggestion and this is what I've found:
KrTrace log pmtranscoder27012.log for pid=27012 started at EST 2011/02/11 11:04:20.610526

11:04:20.610598 0xa072e540 WARNING doGetMetadata PmQuickTimeProcess.M:663 [PxMedia] Value type of (0) is currently not handled, skipping...
Does anyone know how to interpret these logs?
Thanks again dredcomm!

I've forgotten one of my answes to the "security questions" now I am locked out of my account. All I wanted to do was buy an album and now I am "locked out" how do I get Itunes to let me buy this album?

I am not a ferquent user of Apple aside to download music on to my Ipod touch and I am not overly pleased with it. All I wish to do is download and ablum and cannot remeber the answers to one of my security questions.*seeing as I rarely use it* now I am locked out of my account and all and all very annoyed. how do I become unlocked and change my security questions so that I may download this album and stop using Itunes all in all.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support or
          Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Ask to speak to
          Account Security.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.

Safari 5 seems to have slowed the OS for my Admin user account

After installing Safari 5 (now 5.0.2), and after a few Safari hangs and force quits, my OS for my Admin user account has become slow. Opening folders and seeing the contents is slow; moving small documents from folder to folder is very slow; cutting and pasting text in a MS Word document sometimes takes two or three tries, as the text highlighting cursor function has slowed. (Interestingly, Safari's basic click and pageload functions seem to work fairly normally, but with the same highlighting and copy/paste slowness that affects all other programs. Also, my mouse pointer moves quickly as per normal.)
However, I created a new user account as a test comparison and found that the new user account is NOT slow. It works perfectly fine.
Any thoughts on what I should do? Is my original Admin account corrupted? Is it possible to simply move my personal files (Word docs, iTunes songs, bookmarks) to the new user account and then delete my original Administrator account?
What should I do? Thanks everyone.

Well, it was worth a shot.
How full is your hard drive? Always a good starting point for diagnosing slowdowns.
Sometimes running periodic maintenance scripts helps, because it cleans some caches that a Safari reset won't. The scripts are supposed to run automatically in the wee hours of the morning when most people are computing, but the problem is that they only run if the computer is on and not sleeping. Not too realistic.
This article in an excellent series of "keep the Apple sweet" articles talks about the scripts and how to run them manually:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
They are less important in later incarnations of Mac OSX as some o the tasks they do were shifted to start-up, but doing them is worth trying.
Also use Activity Monitor to check for a runaway background process. It's possible that this could affect only one user account. If you've not used Activity Monitor before, make sure you change its "Show" option from the default of "My Processes" to "All Processes" or you might miss some nasty troublemakers. Also click in the "%CPU" column header to sort by processor usage. With no user apps running, (basically an idling computer) no single process should demand more than ~5 percent of the processor. Let AM display for a few minutes while you watch it, as some processes toggle back and forth as they activate.
Running any anti-virus software? Most does more Mac-harm than Mac-good.
Keep us posted!

This is your husband's app, only your husband can update it. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that purchased them. No other Apple ID can update someone else's app.
