how do i rest my password from my lockscreen?

Reset your password? Nope, can't do it from your lockscreen on a Mac. How? You have to insert your Mac Install Disk, and then reboot from there. The last install disk was Snow Leopard, so if you still have your disk lying around, pop it in and reboot.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

  • How do I recover my password from a prior iTunes account?

    How do I recover my password from a prior iTunes account established over ten years ago?

    An account that old is not likely to be accessible, but try http://iforgot.apple.com and see if you can get to it.  If you know the Apple ID for the account you can also see if you will get anywhere with http://appleid.apple.com

    i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • How do I rest my password to enter my iPhone 4S

    I had to restore my iPhone and now it is not accepting my password.  I am not sure if it defaulted to the manufacturer password.  How can I rest my password to get into my iPhone 4s?

    Are you referring to the four digit Passcode that you enter when you first turn your phone on or wake it up after an Autolock? If it the four digit Passcode that you forgot here is an Apple support page that explains how to restore your iphine.

  • How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing

    I have been trying to stop the SP farm account, spfarm, from password changing.  SharePoint Central Administration is used and I go to Central Security -> Configure managed accounts.  I set spfarm not to change but it makes no difference. 
    It still changes.  When that happens it screws up the SharePoint VSS Writer service account and backups fail (the password synch script has to run to fix).  When the setting in SP CA is changed to allow password changes, the SharePoint VSS Writer
    service account still has a problem and backups fail.
    Additionally, I have run the two below scripts when necessary to try to correct the problem and it works until the password changes again.  It seems as though the password changes whenever the server restarts or at least once every week or so. 
    Can anyone help me with this?  I don't care if the password changes on a schedule as long as it doesn't cause the SharePoint VSS Writer service to fail during backup.

    Hi Tony,
    In SBS 2011, use 3 different accounts to run Windows SharePoint Foundation. The accounts are spfarm (SharePoint
    Farm Account), spsearch, and spwebapp. For security reasons the passwords on these accounts are periodically reset. The password for spfarm is reset every 7 days that the Windows SBS Manager service is running.

    How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing
    I will suggest that set the password expiry to be longer (such as: a month or 365 days or even more) and apply
    it. Maybe a workaround.
    By the way, the Windows SBS Manager service manages the spfarm account. This spfarm account will be found under
    MyBusiness-> Users-> SBS Users in ADUC. If you navigate to the spfarm account in ADUC and open the Properties of it, then select
    “Password never expires” under Account options in Account tab. Please check if this can help you to achieve target.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • How do I remove Windows password from cmd?

    Hi all,
    How do I remove the login password from another operating system on my computer using the command prompt?
    I have four operating systems that were recovered  from the installation cd due to me having forgotten my password on the original one and that one has all of my music and stuff on there.
    So how do I reset the password on an operating system from another operating system? I tried using command prompt from the recovery cd but that didn't do the trick.

    You can reset Windows passwords using these.

    Wouldn't it be easier to remove the drive, put it in a USB enclosure, and access it from another computer?
