How do I find and change system password

I just bought a Mac Mini with OS 10.5 on it, and I want to get software updates, but don't have the Password, and don't have 10.5 install discs.

Hi Paul, we'll have to fool it.

Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one.

  • How to modify Find and Change indicator?

    I use Find and Change in Applewors 6. At present, this operation finds what is specified but the indicator is colored green and is open, and hard to locate on a page when looking for a single letter. I changed it from its original pale orange to what it is now but now I would like to change it back to something easier to find. But I forgot how I did it and did not make a note. Would appreciate info on how to change this indicator. Thanks

    Neil--
    Thanks for info. I found it under System preferences>Personal>Appearance. You get a lot of choices in color and intensity. I was hoping to change the Find and Change indicator to solid but maybe this is not possible.

  • How can I find and change my WEP password?

    I just purchased a bluray player and it asks for my Airport WEP
    key to access the network I set up. I forgot what WEP was and how to locate it....

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Shift the focus of your eyes away from the window in the center of the screen and move them up to the uppermost top of your computer screen to locate the Base Station menu in the toolbar area
    Click Equivalent Network Password
    Your "password" will be revealed along the the WEP "key". If the "password" does not allow the Blu-Ray player to connect, try the long "key" instead.

  • How can I find and change text in Hyperlinks?

    I have 6000 hyperlinks in my document, I need to change all of the "&" they contain (in the url destination, not in the textflow) to "%26" so I can export to Epub correctly (I'm getting the classic "Export failed" and found out in forums that ampersands in hyperlinks are the problem).
    Can this replacement be automated? Maybe with Javascript? I just don't know how to search just through hyperlinks' text (url).
    Thanks a lot.

    It's perfect! Thanks a lot again!

    It's basically the same thing, but maybe a bit more user-friendly.

  • How can I find and change a mask that was created by someone else?

    I need to adapt a design to a billboard; it was originally created by our parent company's marketing. The billboard company just informed me that I need to incorporate a bleed area and the document does not have that.
    I think it's using a mask on the items that will need to bleed, so I need to find the masking box and expand it to meet the bleed. But since I did not create this document, I have no idea how to find it and it's difficult to reach Marketing.
    Is there an easy way to find the mask, or make it visible?

    Unlock all layers
    Object >> unlock all
    Select >> Object >> Clipping Masks
    Object >> Clipping Mask >> Release
    If you find there are no clipping masks, you can also mask using the tranparency palette. UYou basiclaly have on lemtn whcih is your art, adn some art on top whcih serves as the mask, you slect both then use the make mask command form the transprency palette.
    Do a CMD Y to better analiyze how this is constructed, as without a screenshot we can only make a best guess as to what is going on.

  • I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used      to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s.  I have an iphone 4.  It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I know if this email is genuine?

    I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S.  I have an iphone 4.  It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I tell if the email is genuine?

    Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
    You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
    As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

    Doesn't it use an external AC Adapter? If so, all you should need to use in another country is an adpater plug to match the wall socket.
