How do i get the password panel to come up??

the only help i get drom apple is tro go to a dealer and pay for a new hard drive

That's kind of nuts.  
Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts  or Users & Groups
Turn off the auto-login feature.  This will allow you to get the password panel on startup.

    You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
    You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
    You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
    In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.

    how do i get the password to my restrictions?

    You have to remember it... there's no way to retrieve it.  To clear it, you'll have to restore your iPhone as new, i.e. without your backup.  If you restore from your backup, you'll just restore the restrictions passcode.

  • 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

  • DDL statements in v$sql tables, how can i get the password.....

    Hi friends,
    When I create a user by issuing a statement like
    create user abcd identified by xyz;
    user created.
    but, how can i get the password without encryption in the v$XXXXX tables. Is there any dynamic table which stores the statement executed above in the current session, so that I can get the original password given.
    but when selecting the password by the query
    select password from sys.user$
    where name = 'abcd';
    Password

    Anybody please, show me the right way or query..,
    Post-Query Thanx..

    I would hope there is no way to get this data. I wouldn't want a mechanism to grab passwords out of the SGA. Passwords are stored encrypted in the database. If you need to know the password, run another 'alter user username identified by password' and make not of what you changed it to.

  • How do I get the internet traffic to come to my own server?

    If I'm moving from paying a host for coldfusion to using my own license on my own server, How do I get the internet traffic to come to my own server?

    You connect the computer to a network.  This is pretty much automatically handled by the hardware and the operating system.
    You may want to read up on some of the basics of networking and the tcp/ip world.
    To have a networked computer tell you its IP address type 'ipconfig' at a dos command line.

  • How do I get the basic panel in the develop module to reappear in Lightroom 5?

    Hello! I was editing a photo in Lightroom 5 the other day, and I thought I hit something, but all of a sudden the basic panel was missing. I went online to see how I can fix it, and what was suggested was to right click on one of the panels and it should have an option that says basic, in order to get the basic panel back. That is what I did, but what it does is just opens and closes the panels. I don't know how to get my basic panel back, I hope I can get some advice.
    Thank You!

    The trick is to right-click on one of the other panel headers, e.g. Tone Curve, and you'll see a context menu allowing you ro reselect the Basic Panel.
    Alternatively, when in the Develop Module simply do Ctrl+1 (Cmd+1 on a Mac), or in the menu bar go to Window>Panels>Basic Panel.

  • HT4113 How do i get the password bc I cant remember it to open it up

    I cannot remember the password to open my phone up. How do I get it to open up?

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Just got a new macbook pro, it has a password, did not choose any password yet, so how can i get the password back ?

    I just got my MBP, it is a new one. and just found out that my mac has a password. when i tried to instal a new app, it asked me to enter the password.
    what should i do? any help

    But if you bought a new Mac, did someone already run the initial setup procedure for you?  Ordinarily, with a brand new, out of the box Apple computer, at first boot you would have been taken through a series of setup screens, one of which would have had you create an admin account with an admin password.
    If somebody else already did that when you picked it up, then you should call the store and ask them for the password as they must have set it.  Then, immediately change it to something you make up.
    If you did not have the store set it up, then I'd suspect you did not actually get a brand new Mac?

  • How do I get the front-panel to pop to the front of the screen?

    I have a program that is reading in some network files. When a certain part of the file has been changed I want to pop up the front panel and blink the changed area. The blinking is easy and I can get the VI to pop to the front of any other running LV stuff (using the IsFrontmost vi property) but I need the vi to pop to the front of the entire screen and whatever else is running (Excel or the such). Any ideas on this? I'm doing the development on LV 6.1 on Win2k.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    There is one thing I think you may have to do. If the window is minimized than it will try to make it topmost but the minimize will take precedence, so you will see the task bar blink and the OS stays in the active/current window. Try to use the "restore window" vi before trying to make it topmost. That should work.
    Also make sure that, the LV window you are trying to restore and make topmost is not superceded by another LV modal window.
    Thats my take, Let me know if that works, for future reference.
    Good Luck
    Mache
    I've tried putting in the Restore Windoe vi and the results are the same. Both of those functions (seperate or together) result in the window moving to the top of the other LV screens only. If I have Word or explorer or anything else open, that window will stay on top and the task bar flashes. Can I use the "move window to front" vi in my main vi to move my main vi's front panel to the front? If not are there any ways to get around this? My program is mostly running in the background but when there's an important change I need it to move to the front and take precedence for a few seconds.

  • How do i get the fonts panel to stay there?

    hi all
    i like to have the fonts panel in Pages visable while working on a document as I change fonts regularly in some running documents
    but when i close pages and reopen it, the fonts panel doesn't stay there like the inspector does, so i have to reopen it every time i open pages
    its not a big problem, but just annoying
    any suggestions?

    theorder,
    It's a known bug. In addition to the font panel, Pages forgets window position and other components of the saved state upon quitting. I don't think there's anything that can be done about it.

  • How do I get the DVD menu to come on when the disc is inserted.

    Each time I've burned a DVD with iDVD, instead of the menu coming up when the disc is inserted in the DVD player, the movie begins playing automatically. It should bring up the menu first. I have the chapter marker set at the beginning of the movie and when you go to the menu and select the start button it will go to the start of the movie. Am I missing something? How do I get it so that the movie does not start playing automatically?

    Hi
    Am I missing something?
    Yes

    • Share to Media Browser and as Large or Medium (or just save project - in old iMovie HD6)
    - But Share to iDVD - I never do this
    • Make's a One Step DVD or a Magical DVD - I never do - I select the top one options.
    as these ways will end up Your Movie in the Auto-Start box in iDVD (turn on box-view under the Menu window)
    • Move it from here to the next box to the Right
    THEN
    File to Save as a DiskImage - and test this to play OK (DVD-Player tool)
    then burn this via Disk Util tool
    And this Disk should start with Menu and let You select Movie or Sceen Selection.
