    When you see the Apple logo, release the keys.
    Wait until  OS X Utilities window shows up.
    Move the mouse to the menubar at the top and click "Utilities", then select "Terminal"
    from the drop down.
    Terminal window will appear.
    Type in   resetpassword   and press enter on the keyboard.
    Leave the Terminal window open.
    Reset Password Utility window will open with Macintosh HD selected.
    Select the user account from the popup menu box.
    Click inside the box and that should reveal the names.
    Stop here. Close windows and quit all apps and restart.

    Hi I_like_turtles,
    I'm very sorry to hear that your MacBook was stolen.
    Find my Mac must be enabled on your computer in order to track it; however, you may find the advice from this article helpful with locating your serial number:

  • HT5787 How do I find a password for a previous apple ID?

    I changed my apple ID, but need to delete the previous iCloud account from my devices ... to do that I need my previous password. How do I find that information?

    "Save in Keychain" is not your problem. You've simply forgotten the password.
    Every time you set the password, it overwrites the the value in the keychain. You cannot mess it up by continually overwriting the value you store. The problem is that you are providing the wrong password.
    If you want, you can manually remove the password from the keychain by running Keychain Access (in /Applications/Utilities) and searching for the server name in your login keychain. Simply highlight the entry and remove it by pressing the "Delete" key.
    You can get the correct password by contacting Comcast support and asking them to reset your password. Make sure that you also use the correct username and server parameters.

    how do I find the autofill password that is stored on my mac?

    Found it.  It is under keychain.  Then you click the "i" button at the bottom of the page.  It will pull up a box where you can check another box that states "show password". Then you will have to put in your keychain master password, and then .....boom! there it is.

  • How do I find the password for login keychain safari

    How do I find the login password for keychain

    Hello Linc Davis,
    I am a novice MAC computer user and am being plagued by the Safari login keychain pop up, as well. Could you please tell me the steps I need to take to get to the place where I can disable this prompt. I do know my login password (for my user name on this computer), but I don't even know where the Keychain login can be found. Your help is greatly appreciated!! Many thanks!

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

    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 my password if I can't remember the answers to the security questions and the email it is sending the password to no longer exists?

    How do I find my password if I can't remember the answers to the security questions and the email address it is sending the password to no longer exists?

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • HT201240 how can I find the su - root password on my mac?

    how can I find the su - root password on my mac?

    Chances are you could have also done
    sudo su -
    which would now make you 'root' until you exit.  You could do all your setup running as root.
    Very few if anything actually needs the root password to use root privileges, and having a system where root cannot be directly logged into, is a safer system.

    That is stealing. Your friend has no right/licence to give the songs to you. It violates copyright law.
