How can I access user accounts on Macbook running 10.4 without resetting passwords

Is it possible to access the desktop without resetting passwords?

Not if if you don't have auto log-in turned on.
Resetting or changing a password:

If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.

  • How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password  and can't retreive it  pressing delet without entering password does nothing

    How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't reset it as not receiving reset email from facebook pressing delete without password does nothing.

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • How can I access user defined column(in query) inside the trigger?

    Hi
    I have 3 unions and each query displays different records on some criteria. I also have a column hard-coded
    Ex:
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    add as update
    from table1 a
    where ...
    union
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    change as update
    from table1 a
    where ...
    union
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    del as update
    from table1 a
    where ...
    And I need to display a column in the report only if update is Add. I was thinking of writing a format trigger for that field. But I do not know how can I access this user defined column named update in the trigger?
    Any help?

    Try ":update" minus the double-quotes. Ex:
        IF :update = 'add' THEN
          RETURN(TRUE);
        ELSE
          RETURN FALSE;
        END IF;
    You'll want to place your hard-coded values in single-quotes. Ex:
        select a.col1, a.col2,
        'add' as update

    How can I changed the email account for my iCloud account when it is set up with an old email account I can no longer access?  I can't remember my password for iCloud.

    An "email account" is part of the icloud account, so I'm not sure what you are asking for.

  • How can I delete user account picture in Windows 8?

    I have set my account picture, but now want to delete the pic and back to the default.
    How can I do it?

    Hello,
    The userpic, the image tiles used for your account picture, is located, in different resolutions, in the following folder: C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\%UserAccountSecurityIdentifier%
    where %UserAccountSecurityIdentifier% is a placeholder for the Security IDentifier (SID) assigned by the operating system or domain controller to your user account.
    Here is how it looks like:
    NOTE: If your are using multiple account for login to your computer, like local Security Account Manager (SAM) account (standard account created and stored on your local PC in NTFS), your Microsoft Account (the one using internet account name provided
    by Microsoft such as [email protected],
    [email protected]), or an Active Directory account, please open root C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\ folder and browse to the folder with the name of the SID assigned to your user account for which you want to change the user picture.
    To find out what SID refers to what user account name used on your PC, proceed with the following:
    Start the elevated command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+Q and typing
    cmd, then hitting Enter.
    At the command prompt type: wmic useraccount get name,sid and press
    Enter.
    This will return a table with all user accounts registered on this computer (that is those who had once logged onto this PC) and their corresponding SIDs.
    Now lookup this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users
    And locate the subkey (named correspondingly to the desired SID), then remove REG_SZ values that contain paths to the userpic images to remove traces of userpics.
    WARNING: Please create new system restore point before making this registry change!
    Hope this helps.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

  • How can I access user permission for specific items in Sharepoint 2013 via REST API?

    I want to access user permissions for specific items like lists, documents, folders etc. via the REST API.
    Currently I am hitting the following endpoint:
    http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/getUserEffectivePermissions('win-5a8pp4v402g\\Sharepoint User 2')
    However the response looks like this:
       "d":
           "GetUserEffectivePermissions":
               "__metadata":
                   "type": "SP.BasePermissions"
               "High": "0",
               "Low": "0"
    I cant understand why high and low are both 0? I have added the user to a specific group. Also this is the same result for each of the users. Another thing to note is that I havent added the "Guest" user in the sharepoint server. So when I hit the endpoint for the Guest user, it still shows the same response. So I know there is something I am doing wrong.I want to access permission of a user for a specific item, say a document using the REST API. Can someone tell me how? What would be the endpoint?

    Thanks for the reply. Although this works for Lists, I need to get permissions of documents too. Here is what I have tried:
    http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sharepoint_test/site_1/Documents/file1.txt')/GetUserEffectivePermissions(@user)?@user='i%3A0%23%2Ew%7Cwin-5a8pp4v402g%5Csharepoint%20user%201'
    And the response is:
       "error":
           "code": "-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException",
           "message":
               "lang": "en-US",
               "value": "Cannot find resource for the request GetUserEffectivePermissions."
    Clearly this doesnt work for a file. Whats wrong?

  • Computer can't access user account at this time

    Hello, my situation is this.I tried entering the wrong password to the point where the computer could nolonger access the account.So this is where I sit... everytime I try to access my account the computer tells me "can't access account 'BLAMEUS' at this time".....a little help....!

    Hi Blameus,
    I assume you're referring to some kind of online account? You can try clearing the 'cache' of your browser. If this doesn't help, you can try clearing the 'stored cookies' in your browser... clearing the cookies will usually result in having to input username and password in all sites you visit that require one. Your username and password is also stored in the browser, so if push came to shove you may have to also clear or edit this or just the wrong password, especially if the URL of the site you are trying to access has the right username but wrong password stored, it will always input the wrong password. I hope you know what I mean...
    Good luck, Rick

  • How can I grant users the ability to pause/resume printing without a "print operators group" password.

    Greetings,
    We are running 10.8.5 on 30 machines in an active directory environment (graphics lab). The clients are experiencing a persistant error when pausing or resuming print jobs. Each time something is paused, it requires an administrator password to resume the job. Administrators are not always present so designers are locked out of all of the printers until we come in (or remote in) to authenticate.
    I spoke with Apple today and they said they would not support active directory accounts and that the account must be edited by the department that created the account because the restrictions come from the Active Directory account preferences.
    On the other hand, I ALSO read that I can edit this in the CUPS interface or modify it with the terminal command below, locally.
    dseditgroup -o edit -u admin_name -p -a user_name -t user _lpadmin
    "dseditgroup" adds the user_name to a group (in this case, _lpadmin).
    And admin_name is the name of your administrator's account.
    a) Must this be modified on the Active directory account or CAN I modify this on the local machine via CUPS or terminal?
    b) If so, how would I grant users the ability to resume printing without an admin password?
    c) If not, exactly what must be modified in the active Directory account to allow pause/resume without an admin password.
    I have seen a terminal command that adds users to the print operatiors group (Ipadmin) and I have seen some info on editing the CUPS interface, If i must edit the CUPS interface to allow this, can anyone point to detailed instructions on how to make this change.
    I also saw info on editing the CUPS interface but the suggestion lacked details as to how and how to return to default if it does not work.
    I also saw a post with these suggestions below but without detail as to how one would carry this out.
    /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

    Hello again.  For AD environments you can run the following command on each workstation:
    sudo dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u localadmin -p -a "Domain Users" -t group _lpadmin
    This command assumes you are typing this interactively on the machine.  Obviously change localadmin to the Mac's local admin's name.  When running you will be prompted for password twice.  Once to elevate permissions (sudo) and once to validate you are localadmin.
    If you are using Apple Remote Desktop (or JAMF or other management suite), you can push this command out while embedding the localadmin's password. 
    sudo dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u localadmin -P yourpass -a "Domain Users" -t group _lpadmin
    Please note, if your password uses special characters (/-\) this may fail over ARD.
    In Mavericks, AD groups are cached once they are referenced.  If you are dealing with a lot mobile users (laptops) you might want to replace Domain Users with everyone

  • How can i transfer music from my macbook to my iphone without my music library contents are all erased?

    i've been trying to transfer music from my macbook to my iphone but it deletes all the music i have on my iphone then adds the music from the macbook what can i do so i ADD music to my iphone without having anything deleted!

    The answer is, "you don't".
    Music other than that purchased from the iTunes store had to be synced to the device using iTunes on a computer. The media should still exist on that computer. She can use the computer to sync the music to the new device.
    An iPad or iPhone is NOT a backup device. In order to set it up to sync to a new computer were she to replace hers, the media on the device would have to be erased before anything could be synced to it. Media synced to the device can not be synced back to a computer (without purchasing 3rd party software). Without a computer and iTunes, it's not possible to transfer media from one iDevice to another, even with 3rd party software.
