  • How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

    Hi guys,
    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • How do i reset my mac ios 10.4.11 to factory settings

    how do i reset my mac ios 10.4.11 to factory settings?

    Tiger is not an iOS.   iOS refers to the operating systems on iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch, and AppleTV if you look at its framework operating system alone.    For Macintosh computers, all Apple operating systems since 2006 are some version of Mac OS X.  2001 to 2005 you may see a mixture of Mac OS 9.1 to Mac OS X 10.4 something.  But do not refer to Tiger as an iOS, as that will only serve to confuse those trying to help you, as to what you want.

    Insert a compatible Mac OS X DVD, restart with the Option key held down, and use its Reset Password utility. If the computer has a firmware password set, you need to know that.

  • How can I reset my admin. password without the MAC OXS  reinstall, bought mine used and have no such disk

    Hi, how can I change my admin password without the reinstall of MAC OXS disk or whatever that is, I bought my macbook privately and cant update my adobe flash without the password which I have never set up. but anything I type in is wrong...... as a password.

    ok have read all relivant posts and have tried the restart command+R which does absolutely nothing. My Computer opens up as usual.
    I have found another response which suggests command+S and generate an entirely new admin. and password and you are not supposed to loose a single file.
    Has anyone done this and been successful? I have just installed a new hard drive in the last 3 months and don't want to do any damage.
    Hearing a success story would be nice.  Thanks

  • How do your reset your ipod password if your locked out?

    how do you change your ipod password if your locked out of it

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone
    I am selling my Portege R830-10Q so I want to restore it to factory settings (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
    I have successfully brought the laptop to factory settings by using the _TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard_ and choosing *Recovery of Factory Default Software (Recover to out-of-box state)*. However, at the end of the recovery process and after everything is re-installed I was not able to TURN OFF the laptop. I was only given the option of restarting it. After restating it, the Windows set-up process starts.
    I don't want to set-up Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows set-up for the person who buys the laptop from me. How can I switch off the laptop after the system recovery without having to set up Windows?
    I'd really appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Pedro

    When recovery procedure is finished and you are asked for restart just press power button and switch it off. I think it only thing you can do.
    Anyway, why not to start Windows and go through setup option. New owner can change this basic settings anyway. As username put Admin and language and keyboard can be set as default.
    For instance, if you have German recovery image set everything to German. New owner can change it anyway.

  • How to get backed up apps back after restoring it to factory settings

    Hi, I recently tried to update to the new 3.2.1 update, but something happened and it restored my iPad back to factory settings, the good thing was that I backed all my apps before I tried to update, but now I can't figure out how to get them back. I see them in iTunes, but when I sync my iPad it doesn't download them back (and yes, I'm using the same account).

    Have you tried this:
    To restore the software on your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    When the device appears in the iTunes window, select it.
    Click the Summary tab, click Restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you back up your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, you can restore your settings from the backup at the end of the restore process.
    Good luck.

  • HT1430 If my iPod was given to someone else and they changed the reset code, how do I reset my ipod touch without that password?

    My Dad gave my step sister my ipod last year. She changed the password to do a master reset. I called Apple, and I gave them the serial number but got nothing out of it. Because I wasn't paying $20 to talk to a representative. I need someone to tell me how I can find the password and get it changed so i can reset the whole iPod.
