How do I disable login password?
I am having heaps of trouble with an annoying login password that I cannot disable. I have followed all directions and still it persists. what do I do now any one know?
There is a Log in password for a reason. So anyone turning on your computer can't use it or look at your files without knowing the password. To disable the use of it means that everyone walking by you Mac can start it up and view your personal data and files.
So what is the be problem typing in a password when the system starts? You will still need to type it in when you are installing software or making system changes.
Good Luck & Best Wishes.

How do I Disable ThinkVantage Password Manager
I have a new Lenovo T400. ThinkVantage has a password manager that pops up almost continuously when I'm browsing the web and, quite frankly, it's irritating. How do I disable the password manager?
Hmmmm, as far as I know, the "Password Manager" is installed with the "Client Security Solution". Anyway, if you are using windows XP and you have not uninstalled the "Client Security Solution", you can run it manually as following:
Windows --> Start --> Run --> "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution\css_user.exe" /startmenu
But there is another option. You can disable Password Manager per-application. For example if you want to disable it for Internet Explorer try this
Password Manager --> Set Preference --> General --> Application Support --> Uncheck the Internet Explorer.
You can turn it off for all applications by disabling available options.

How to delete saved login/password on your device
How to delete saved login/password on your device without having to delete ALL of them and start over!
I hated this, becuase if i accidentally saved an incorrect login/password, and deleted it, it deleted ALL of my login/passwords for all websites. NOT ANY MORE!!!!
you can delete one at a time and chose which to do so by opening your microb web browser (standard internet browser on the n900)
then type in this address:
chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul
then you will be able to scroll and delete INDIVIDUALLY the ones you dont want on your device, leaving all the good ones!
enjoy.you cannot create a shortcut/bookmark directly with this. but you can go around it and create one anyway.
to do this,
open a browser to google or what you want.
tap the + to create a new bookmark
change the name to (ie-password files)
change the link to: chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul
and now you have a shortcut/bookmark so you dont have to remember the link. -
How can a disable the password required to login?
I have a new Macbook Pro retina display. I am the only user of the computer, and I would really like to be able to open and use my computer without being asked for my login password everytime. I have searched this forum for the answer, but I am more confused now than before? One of the answers says to simply go to "Security & Privacy" > General and simply uncheck the box in front of the line that says "require password ***** after sleep or screen saver begins". They even show a screen shot clearly showing this box. The problem is that on my Macbook Pro, when I go to this location, there is NO box in front of that line! There is a small window where I can choose between "immediately - 1 hour", but that is it. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know how I can turn off this prompt for the login password?
Thank you!
LincolnTry this...
System Preferences > Users and Groups
Choose your username then click on "Log In Options" below
Next, turn "Automatic login" to ON then supply the password to your account
Then, in the "Security & Privacy" Section, make sure "Disable automatic login" is OFF -

I'm working on a student project in 3rd year undergrad, we are setting up a mock security and control system for a nuclear reactor. We've had about two months (3hours a week) of using Labview for experience,
and a semester of using Matlab in first year: I know very little about programming, and I'm taking chemical engineering. Essentially, I'm trying to set a login and a password to access the controls, if you get it wrong it sets off an alarm.
I need to know how to block the controls (Power level, control rod height, etc) until someone writes the right password. I'm also trying to get an mp4 file to play a video showing the processing of a finger print scan when you touch a touch sensor, and get a .wav file to play an alarm sound when the alarm is set off. An answer in simple and detailed instructions to do one or many of these things would be extremely useful, thank youHave you started your code already?
I want to adapt a solution to your existing architecture.
I would suggest using an Event Structure (Producer) with a Consumer Loop. You would start with an initial event which would prompt for a password (and maybe allow three trials) that upon a bad password would trigger an alarm. You could pass the alarm trigger and reason for the alarm using a queue to the consumer loop that would wait for an event in order to proceed with anything (including a new command). That way, commands would automatically be locked out since it would require a login to allow changing states in the producer loop. Oh yeah, the consumer loop would have a state machine.
Using an Event Structure would allow to code a solution that allows to "log out" thus locking out any other command attempts. -
How do i disable "change password" in "security & privacy"
Hi... i think something might be wrong... I have a standard account (for a child) that is locked down by parental controls by an admin user. I've locked changing the password - "Disable changing the password"... The lock icon is locked for users and groups in the standard account - so that works.
However if i goto System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Change Password it allows for changing of the standard account password and does not require the admin password.
Really? Can anybody else confirm this? How do I lock this also?
thanks in advance.This isn't an answer.
You aren't the only one seeing this behavior. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.
You might want to submit feedback to Apple so they are aware of the problem:

Trying to disable login passwords.
I know most people want to have as secure a computer as possible. However, in my case, it would be beneficial to allow user switching without having to input a password (it's a long story). I have fast user switching set up and don't at all mind the login screen. But is there anyway to disable the need for these passwords? Granted, I wish to maintain the administrator password so I am the only one who can change system preferences and such. Any suggestions?
Thank you.I don't think there is a way to disable passwords. If there was, that would be a good way for a hacker to compromise a Mac.
If you really want to make passwords irrelevant for non-admin users (you can do it for admin users too but it would not be a good idea), why don't you just use a password (on all those accounts) that everyone can remember, like 1234. -
