Leave the Terminal window open.

Note down the user account name.

Reenter the new password for the user.
Note it down.
Enter a hint.
Click the "Save" button.

    Robert:
    May I strongly urge you to get a set of installer CDs. They will come in handy as you need them for much more than just installing the OS. From time to time, e.g. you may need to boot from the installer disk to Repair Disk (you can Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility on the HDD, but to Repair Disk, you must boot from a different volume). And if you had installer CDs changing the password and creating a new Admin Account would be a breeze.
    You can get universal installer disks at applerescue. Another option in your situation is to do a complete re-install. That will not only enable you to create your own admin account, but it will automatically change the computer short name. However, for that you need installer disks.
    Meanwhile, <a href=""http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121786&tstart=0>here is another article that should help.
    Good luck.

    Paolo,
    If I understand his requirement good (to have system user but must be called xxxx) then that's the option.
    Well, that's obvious...Sure, but sometimes we see complicated thing but not something what is obvious...
    Also your demonstration to OP how to change user password indicate that OP-level of knowing Oracle user management is such that OP maybe need help for something what is for you or me obvious...
    Cheers!

  • How can I change the admin username and password

    how can I change the default admin adminadmin username and password for the server

    What version of Creator are you use?
    In Creator 2 Update 1, using Application Server version 8.2, you can do the following..
    1) Log into the Admin Console using the default UID/PWD
    2) Expand the tree view by following this path:
    Application Server > Configuration > Security > Realms > admin-realm
    3) Click on "Manage Users"
    4) Click on the UserID "admin"
    5) enter the new password that you would like
    6) Click on the "Save" button on the upper right side of the page.
    That should do it for you.
    Good luck

  • Itunes keeps asking me for a user name and password when I first open it.

    I do not allow apple to access my library or my hard drive because you guys are predators, and I have NO interest in using the app store.  I have disabled access to the store, so i do not know why it keeps asking me for a user name and password.  You have NO right to see the music THAT I PURCHASED a loooooooooong time ago.  It is my license. I should be able to play it whenever and wherever I like...and NO, I do not burn and copy my music.  I just want to play it on MY MACHINES. So, I do not need your useless snooping, which is probably the reason you want me to log in.  Who do you think you are? You didn't write the songs.  You just sell licenses. Period.  And I purchased mine, thank you.  I no longer use your store for these reasons.  I use Amazon.

    Not control-R. Command-R. Shut the computer down. Reboot it. Hold down cmd-R when you hear the chime. Keep it held down and you should see the Lion recovery partition.

    Best Regards

    No, there is no solution - search these forums if you like for similar posts.  Without knowing the registered owners password there is no way to disable Activation Lock.  Apple will not give you that password, nor reset it for you, nor give you any personal information about the registered owner.
    If you cannot contact that original owner, or they refuse to help you, then you now own a brick.  If you can, go back to the seller and get your money back.  It is reasonably likely though, that they did not actually own the device to sell it in the first place.

  • How do I change the copyright info and links in collection pages?

    Can anyone tell me how I can change the copyright info and links on a collection page using the new updated Public Site Manager?
    1. When I click on 'Configure selected collection' there doesn't seem to be an option to edit copyright information and I've tried editing the info in Settings > Copyright Notice but it doesn't filter through to the collection pages.
    2. When I click on 'Configure selected collection' the links tab is empty but on my collection page there is a link called 'website' which links to our University website but the url is incorrect so I need to change it.
    Example screenshot -
    Thanks

    Also when I add a url list to a collection page and then delete all the links I'm left with a blank url list showing in preview page in iTunes. This should not happen, the admin guide says -
    "To delete a collection page URL list, delete all the links in the list. When you publish, if you have a URL list with no links, iTunes U Public Site Manager hides the empty URL list."
    It doesn't. At least it doesn't for me when I preview the collection in iTunes.

  • How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    Really frustrating to find the first time but simple once you figure it out. I think I spent hours trying to find this. Simply right click on a blank spot in the toolbar up top and select Properties Bar. There it is! The available properties will change depending on whether you have the content (text) selected or the box itself.
    I haven't found a way yet to make it show up as a regular part of the toolbar. It floats around and gets in the way so I don't leave it on and then have to open it again when I need it. Again - frustrating; but at least it's there!
