How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

How do i find the url for my iMac

How di I find the URL for my iMac?

Can you explain in more detail what you mean? A URL is the address of a website - such as Apple.com or Harvard.edu. A computer will only have a URL if it has been set up as a web server and has name servers pointing to it (so that people looking for yourcomputer.com will be sent to the right place).
Conversely, every computer has an IP address, which is numerical. If you're connected directly to your internet, you will have a public IP address (it might look like 245.46.120.30, for example). Most people connect to the internet through a router, though, which gives them a private IP address only visible within their own network (something like 192.168.1.4).

How do i find the password for my ipod classic

Hey guys I'm having a problem with my ipod it's saying if need an password but I have no idea what it is, it locked my out so I have plugged it into my laptop with which I registered my ipod but I cannot find the password to unlock it on the registration so any ideas folks short of sending it into Apple Store!!

The Apple Store cannot help recover your password.
See iPod: How to use the Screen Lock - Apple Support.
Work out what password you set, or restore the device. Assuming your media is in your library this takes some time but isn't otherwise difficult. If you've manually managed the iPod without keeping the media in your library you now know why this is not a good idea. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Off hand I don't know if the various media recovery tools or techniques work with a password locked iPod classic, but quite possibly not.

HT5243 how do I find my password for adobe and Java

how do I find my password for adobe and Java

"Java" doesn't have a password, unless you mean your admin password for installing software. That's whatever password you (or the person who set your computer up) used to set up your admin account. That's the same password that you use when you start up the computer if you get asked for one. You cannot retrieve this password if you've forgotten it, but you can reset it and make a new one. See this support article if that's the case:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14325
"Adobe" is a company and likewise doesn't have a password. However, if you have Adobe cloud-based software you may well have set up a password with them. Adobe also require an account and password for downloading certain products. You'll need to contact Adobe to retrieve any such password if you've lost it.

Steps to find the password for users as sysdba

What are the steps to find the password for users in dba_users as sysdba?
It is in encrypted form ? How can I view it ?
Pls tell in steps ?

I asked for sysdba
When he can change password why can't he view ?Can you see the users password on a windows domain? No
Can you see the users password on a Unix box? No
Can you see the users password on a mail server? No
Why would it be different in Oracle?
Why is hacking coming here ?Because it's something against the way the software works.
This can, and is, dangerous to let the administrator (Oracle, MsSQL, Win*, Unix,...) know the users password for so many reasons. For example:
. Privacy
. Etiquette
. Password reuse (password reused for Bank account, etc)
. [insert a whole bunch of other good reasons I'm not going to bother writing]
And anyway it is useless!

How do I get the password for an old apple id, when I don't have access to that old email address, and it doesn't recognize my birthdate?

How do I get the password for an old apple ID when I dont have access to the email address and it does not recognize my birthdate?

Hi Attila528,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not able to receive a rescue email to reset your security questions and password:
You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.
You can find the article with this information here:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
After your password, security questions and answers are reset, I'd recommend providing a new rescue email address:
You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
All the best,
Jeremy
