How can I change the administrators original password if I've forgotten it.

I need help to delete my icloud account from my iPad.  It has "Find my iPad" on it and won't let me delete without the old password.  I don't want to reset password as it will require reset of Mac Book Pro and 2 iphones.  Help appreciated.
Your description of the problem is a bit confusing.  Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

  • How can i change the tab bar from opening a new tab when single clicked to open one only when double clicked?

    Out of habbit, i double click the tab bar and it opens 1 tab. however in the new beta, it opens 2.
    Is there anyway to change this so single clicks dont open new tabs on the tab bar?

    I don't have multiple tab bars and haven't installed anything to try and get them.
    I re-read what I wrote earlier and realised it's not worded clearly when I said: If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open
    I meant: When I have so many tabs open that they won't all fit into the tab bar at once

  • How can I change the system to stop opening a new page everytime I seek information from that page? It took me 5 pages on the task bar to ask this question.

    This week I downloaded the BIOS update from Mozilla and since then my header bar has not been the same. For instance, in order to get to this box, to ask my question, I entered Mozilla.com, then entered "Help" which resulted in a new tab, then "Ask a Question" which was another tab, then still another tab. By the time I got to this page I have 5 tabs open. In the past, a new page was opened and I could always return to the original via the "arrow" in the address bar. More than likely this can be solved with one key stroke, I just don't know what key to stroke.
    Thank you!

    I'm sorry, but what do you mean by a BIOS update?
    Firefox will launch a link in a new tab if the Ctrl key is pressed down during clicking, and will launch a link in a new window if the Shift key is pressed down during clicking. Maybe Firefox is having trouble reading your keyboard accurately. Sometimes pressing Ctrl or Shift several times will help clear that up. In other cases, it could be a compatibility problem with your keyboard, low batteries, or another problem on the keyboard side. And/or, if you haven't shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began, that sometimes helps.
    Some add-ons also can change how links behave. Do you have any extensions related to tabs, like Tab Mix Plus? You can review your extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. For some, you will find an Options button to inspect their settings.

  • How can I change the default window size of a new message permanently?

    The mail window opens up very small and every time I must increase the size manually. I want to be able to set it so it opens larger or at least opens to the saem size as a previous mail window, which is what Mail used to do.
    Also, can anyone tell me how to stop that new mail window from opening on the bottom left of my screen? I need to move it in orde to increase the window size. So, 2 default actions that are a psin to constantly deal with.
    Is there any guru out there who has had this problem and solved it? Thanks!

  • How can I change the frame rate mode?

    Adobe Premiere Pro exports my videos with a variable frame rate. Because of this long videos are asynchronous. How can i change the frame rate mode? So Adobe Premie Pro exports my videos with a CONSTANT frame rate? The original video  has a constant frame rate...

    Sorry my mistakes. I am from Germany.. so...I mean with asynchronous that the video file and the sound file are displaced. In the beginning of the Video it's normal, but if the videos is very long it goes VERY "asynchronous"
    I analyzed the video with "mediainfo":

    And there i can read that the "frame rate mode" is variable... and that's the bad thing... I want to change that point to a constant frame rate mode. I use the H.264 codec

  • How can I change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit.  No password was given with the iBook?  We need to put in printer and other software.  Help, we can use the laptop without changing the password.

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

    Hi,
    Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
    select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
    Now, system will ask for new password to change.

    It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
    Here, Select tab: Logon Data
    There is a Sub-Tab: Password.

  • How can I change the User Password expiry date

    Hi,
    I want to know how can I change the password expiration date of my user without changing his password. For eg:-
    User password expires on 12th May 2007. I want to extend to 12th Jun 2007. Is there any option in Oracle.
    Alter User <USERNAME> password expire .....<to new date>;

    The command is not alter user set expire...
    You should modify the user's profile, and set a timeframe:
    ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT
    PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME = num_of_days;
    This way your password will be valid from the last time it was changed and for the time frame previously defined.
