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.

  • How can I change the password for the USER in SAP.

    How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
    also I want to change the Language and  date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

    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.
    If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
    Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
    It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
    Here, Select tab: Logon Data
    There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
    Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
    For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
    Best regards,

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

    How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

    You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
    For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

  • How can we know the password for a oracle user

    Hi to All,
    Can any one help me plz how can we know the password for any user in oracle.
    Regards
    dxb_dba

    Assuming one wants to stay with database-stored passwords (the traditional method), one may want to look at the password aging and complexity enforcing mechanisms.
    Oracle has a complete manual around this. For 10gR2, the Oacle Database Security Guide chapter 4 is interesting reading - section 4.3 is the discussion for database authentication. And section 7.4.4 talks about the complexity enforcement.

  • How can I retrieve a password for a document?

    You won't believe this....
    I made a document in Acrobat 9 on my Win7 computer, password protected it, typed it in a 2nd time, then saved the document. Just seconds later, I went to test the document to make sure it'd open, so I tried to open it, and ..... it wouldn't open. It said 'wrong password'. So I must have had my fingers on the keyboard in the wrong home base position, and typed something other than I thought. I typed the same "password" with my fingers in different spots on the keyboard, but couldn't replicate the mistake.
    How can I retrieve a password?
    1) I thought there was something on computers where you could find out previous keystrokes, especially if you've not yet turned off your computer. I read one time where you do some steps then paste the results onto a .txt file, and it will show your previous keystrokes.
    2) I almost bought one of those Password Recovery software programs online last night from Daosoft. I wonder if they're a scam, or if they really work?

    You can't recover the password. If you could, I could have as well and the whole purpose of encryption would be moot. This is why it is a good practice to save the original PDF before you secure it.
    If the password that you created was a really strong one (other than word 'password' or some other word) I doubt that the password recovery programs would do the work. They are usually good only for fairly simple passwords.
    Acrobat X added new way of encryption that is almost impossible to crack and Acrobat XI added the password strength indicator which tells you how good the password that you're entering is.
