How can I over ride my screen saver passwords to access my iBook G4?

Yesterday, I called Tech. support via Apple and was provide a case number for my issue.
The e-mail that was sent to me did not assist me.
Today, I am told that I would need to purchase a 30 day technical support plan for $50.  They would not be able to assist me unless I paid into this (frustrated).
Does anyone know how I can hack into my own iBook G4 without unnecessary expenses?
Any references and or support is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
David

Hi, David. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now? (Mac OS X 10.0 would not be possible on an iBook which was purchased new in 2004.)
How much RAM is installed?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

  • How can get my Iphotos as screen saver ...all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested in deleting the files from the Finder ..now just left with the "squirly default " screensaver option

    How can I get  my Iphotos to show as my screen saver please ?  all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested and deleted all relevant files , but now am only left with the "Squirly " screen saver option in the drop down menu and no option for Iphoto library.

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

  • How can I over ride the combination code to access the volume limit?

    I want to increase my volume limit but there is a combination lock that shows up and I dont know what the code is! Is there some way I can over ride this and increase my volume limit? It's hard to hear any music.

    The only way to bypass the volume limit passcode is to restore the device to factory settings in iTunes.

  • How can I over-ride the regional code?

    I buy DVD from different countries.
    In my Microsoft I could over-ride the regional code.
    Question: What can I do with my Probook to play DVDs from variious regional codes?
    Is there a software avaliable or what else can I do?

    "Is there a software avaliable or what else can I do?"
    There is no method by which an MBP can have the regional code reset.  There are external players that do not utilize the regional coding, and allow all optical media to be used.  Google is your friend.

  • How can I turn off the screen saver on the iMac??

    I went to system Prefences - Sceen saver and wen to the Hot corner. Disabled all the hot corner and the sceen saver is still on ???
    What else can I do ??
    Thanks for your help.

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power
    If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, you may need to click it to unlock the settings. Enter your login password when prompted.
    Move the Display sleep slider to the right so that the display sleeps after the screen saver starts.

  • How can I allow the Keychain to save passwords automatically?

    I used to just enter usernames+passwords for the first time and they would automatically be saved in the keychain without a prompt. But now, it will ask "Would you like to save this password?" How can I get it so that it saves the password, the first time it is entered, without prompting me? Thanks for any help.
    (I use Safari by the way, version 5.0.6. and Keychain access is version 4.0.2)

    You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

  • How can I over-ride the low ink warning on a 4630

    I want to continue printing with my black ink cartridge even though the warning appears about print quality. When I press "OK" nothing happens, the warning remains displayed and the printer will not print.

    Hi,
    When the ink is too low on the placed cartridge you cannot print till replacing it.
    You may use Reserve Mode by completely removing the depleted ink artridge from the device, then you may print using the installed cartridge.
    Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

  • How do I over-ride a secure connection failure to access the IP address for my wirelss router?

    I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. Yesterday all wireless functionality dropped out. I tried going to the router's IP address and got this message:
    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.1.
    You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
    Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
    (Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)
    I searched for this message in Firefox help and tried the steps listed on:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Certificate%20contains%20the%20same%20serial%20number%20as%20another%20certificate
    But it did not work. I could not access the IP address. I needed to do so, to reset and re-secure the wireless router. I was able to do this in IE because there is an option to ignore the warning. I would like to be able to access the router in Firefox.

    Delete the certificate in servers and authorities.
    Enter URL about:config
    Change browser:ssl_override_behavior to 1
    Accept the certificate again

    My friend has found a workaround:

  • How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?

    How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?
    It seems this problem is caused by the software to increase the readibility of upper letters (clock battery etc.) It be nice to leave us the control of choosing background letter color too if we are using brighter images or darker images.
    I'm using iphone 4s and it appeared after I updated to new patch. 7.1.1.
