How can I turn off my password on my MacBook Pro?

I (somehow) created a password whenever my MacBook Pro is either turned on or awaken from sleep mode because I was having issues with my roommates. They have since moved out, and I cannot remember how I created the password, or how to turn it off completely. I went into System Preferences>Security & Privacy, but don't see any option of turning it off completely, just changing the time it goes to sleep and asks for a password to turn back on.
Thank you.

  • How can I turn off the password remember question?

    How can I turn off the password remember question?  I never use this option on my laptop, as that would not be secure.  And on sites with their own "stay logged in" feature, Safari's password memory sometimes interferes.  Is there any way to stop Safari from asking me if I want to remember passwords, or am I stuck saying Never for this Site on every site I visit?

    Password autofill can be secure or insecure, depending on how you use the computer, but if you want to disable it, select from the menu bar
    Safari > Preferences > AutoFill
    and uncheck the box marked User names and passwords.

    how do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    You don't. You may find some third-party software that will, however. Try Auto Mute.
    Alternatively, you can try this:
    I think this is the best and simplest solution. Open a Terminal window and type (or copy/paste) the following to turn down the startup noise:
         sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume="%00"
    Press RETURN.
    And to restore it to the original value type:
         sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume
    Press RETURN.
    That's all folks.

  • How can I turn off all sharing on my Macbook

    I am a new Mac user and although I love it I am unfamiliar with the sharing options and how they work. I haven't gotten a clear answer yet but my question is how can I ensure that I am not sharing any of my files. I can see other users who are sharing. Will other users still be able to see me if I am not sharing and how do I turn it off. Thank You.

    Go to System Preferences -> Sharing. If everything there is turned off, nobody can access any of your files remotely.
    For that matter, even if you have stuff turned on, if it's all configured correctly, someone would need to know a password to access anything.

    Hi, it's been a few months since I've had my Macbook Pro, but I need help. I completely forgot my admin password because I never really use it, but I am trying to make changes to my laptop and need it.

Also, can you please give step by step directions? I am not the best with technology, so I need to know exactly what to do. Please help!

  • How do I completely turn off font smoothing on my MacBook pro?

    I am at a loss. I've seen dozens of people complain about this, but I'm still hoping there's a solution: How do I turn off font smoothing on my MacBook pro? I've toggled the anti-aliasing options every which way, and no matter what I do, the text is always slightly blurry (there's always a slight halo of grey around the characters to smooth them out). This would be the perfect computer if I could just turn that dang feature off completely, but as it is it's so hard on my eyes I can't use it for reading or writing for any extended period.

    DigiLloyd posted some aditional info on this subject, here:
    "Apple abandoned useful font smoothing user interface support in Mac OS X Leopard for a “moron setting” in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, leaving those with non-Apple displays high and dry with unattractive text display.
    You’ll need to use Terminal to set things right (or at least better, which is not to say optimal)."

    how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
    This is really driving me nuts.....
    Thanks

    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General. 
    Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
    2.     Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.”  You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
    From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
    I hope this helps.
