How do I get around the "Master Password" window?

Since I'm the only user at this sight, I don't think that I need a Master Password.
So How do I get around the "Master Password" window so I can get some work done?
The Box is not marked, but setup still refuses to go any further.

Hi warp4dennis,
Thank you for your question, I understand that you would like to get around the master password dialogue. [[Master Password]] specifically [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-master-password-protect-stored-logins#w_removing-the-master-password how to remove it]

I got this older ibook g4 from a friend of mine but the password he gave me shows up not valid so to update this thing I need to get past the password also it doesnt play dvds. Ive watched all the you tube videos but no success anyone can you help?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:

Which version of the operating system is it running now?
Did your friend give you the original Install and/or Restore discs? Did he give you the Install disc for the version of the operating system it's now running?

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do you get rid of master password promt box?

How do you get rid of the master password prompt box without getting rid of using the master passwords feature? I like that my passwords are locked so no one can see them but I get annoyed when I have to type my master password in every time I open up a web page. Would like to only type in master password when I want to view my saved passwords. Does any one know how to remove the annoying box?

Sorry, that isn't the only purpose of the Master Password feature, "locking" your Saved Password dialog from being viewed.

How do you re-set the master password without knowing what it is?

I set up a master password, and can't remember it. I haven't activated the filevault, so from what I read, that is good. But I still don't know how to re-set the master password if I don't have the old one to change it. Please help. I have too many albums in iTunes, documents, and calander events that have not been backed up, so I don't want to reinstall the software, if that is an option. At least not until I can pick up an external backup.

I forget where I read this, but to eliminate an existing filevault "master password", delete the files 'FileVaultMaster.cer' and 'FileVaultMaster.keychain' in your computer's main '/Library/Keychains/' folder (not through "Keychain Access.app"). You should then be able to set a new "master password" in the "Security" preference pane if you ever decide to use "filevault" again. Note that if you do this while an account is still encrypted (ie. with filevault enabled), that account will not be accessible with the new "master password".

GPS Use - How do I get around the security

I have two projects. Both don't work due to security restrictions.
One is the media for midi use.
The other uses the GPS in my phone.
This is strictly for personal use.
How do I get around this? Any help would be nice.

As far as I know, the only way to go around security restrictions is to have you application sigend by Verisign, Thawte, JavaVerified, etc.

When I try to back up my hard drive to an external hard drive if an alias is not correct or a file is not recognised it fails and I cannot tell the sytem to ignore the file. Anyone know why and how I can get around the problem?

Hi
I have a Mac PowerBook G4 running OSX and a Hitachi external HD. When I try to back up the data from my Mac to the HD it copies much of the data across but some files such as incorrect "alias' files and some other files do not copy. The messages I get indicate there are problems but when I click the OK button the backup stops. I then have to either delete these files or copy other files with correct alias details to overwrite the existing one. I then have to start the backup all over.
I have been carrying out a bfull backup so have been copyiing the hard drive of the Mac an pasting it into the external HD. Is this my problem? If so how do i carry out the backup function. I have been informed by Hitachi that I should be using the Mac's own "Time Machine" software but I don't seem to be able to locate this.
I have been told that there should be the option to either cancel the backup or skip the file but I don't get that.
Any ideas as I am running out of patience.

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

HT201365 How can I get around the system lock pin code if I dont know what it is? I have my username and passwork

I have switched on my MAC after 2 months of no use and I am getting the grey screen asking for a system lock pin code, I dont know what it is, how can I get into my MAC?
Many thanks
Graham

That sounds like it's requestion the Find My Mac passcode. If you don't know it, you'll have to take it to a nearby Apple store with proof of purchase/ownership as only they can unlock it for you.

How can I get around the -40 import error?

I'm using iMovie 3.03 and just found out that the -40 error I get when importing videos is due to a 9 minute (and 32 seconds) limit. My imports (1 mov and 1 avi) are just over 14 minutes each. Does anyone know of a work around for this problem? Or of any 3rd party software that will allow me to cut the import in half so I can bring each file into iMovie in 2 parts?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
YH!

OK... I went to the site and downloaded the app. I ran it and it exported 9 mins of the file and then would not export the other half and gave me an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError:4
Then I put the app on my desktop and changed the length of the file exported to 8 mins (using the instructions given with the download. When I ran it again, it said I needed Quicktime Pro to run it.
So... now what I don't want to do is buy Quicktime Pro and find out that it still won't work. Would Quicktime Pro be able to do split the videos? Or at least be able to cut half of the video off and save as another file name?

TS3988 my user name (email address) is no longer a valid email address. How do I get around the verification stage or change my username to be my current email address?

How can I change my user-name for ITunes? My user name was my old work email address and is no longer valid. When I try to create an iCloud account, I am having trouble due to the fact that the username is not a good email address.

How are you trying to do it ? You can change the rescue email address on your account by, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com 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.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
You can then try using your current rescue email address as your primary email address - you may need to log out of that page and back in. Or you can then try changing the primary email address via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
If you have an iPhone, iPad and/or iPod Touch you may then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log back in for the account to be 'refreshed' on it.

How can I get around the character limit in the "print pages" option

I have a rather large PDF file and I need to print certain pages (for example, pages 1, 324, 456, 759, 812, 946, 1206, 1562, 1792, etc.). However, when I click on print and try to type in the pages, there is a character limit, and it is much smaller than the number of characters I need to type. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

OK I figured out the answer. Ctrl+J opens up the console (You have to activate javascript). The following script will extract the pages into a new document, and then you can simply print those pages. All you need to do is fill up the "pageArray" array with a list of your pages, separated by commas. It does not support ranges.
// Extracts all pages listed into a new document
var pageArray = [INSERT YOUR LIST OF PAGE NUMBERS HERE, SEPARATED BY COMMAS];
if (pageArray.length > 0) {
var d = app.newDoc();    // this will add a blank page - we need to remove that once we are done
for (var n = 0; n < pageArray.length; n++) {
d.insertPages( {
nPage: d.numPages-1,
cPath: this.path,
nStart: pageArray[n]-1,
nEnd: pageArray[n]-1,
    // remove the first page
    d.deletePages(0);
