How do I reverse a user-name change?

HELP! I accidentally changed the name under the "home" icon, simply by highlighting the previous name (which is also the previous owner of the computer) and changing it to mine. This immediately added another user to the computer, has changed all of my personalized settings in every interface and program, and has now created a folder with the previous user's name.
All of my personal information (ie pictures and documents) are located in the new location but the computer is recognizing the old user when I try to save files to the desktop. Reversing this process by highlighting my new name to change it back doesn't allow me to do so, because there's already another user by that name.
How can I reverse this process and go back to the way it was just an hour ago? Thanks.

How can I find my user name password as I only remember the administrator password for the MacBook?

How can I find my user name password as I only remember my administrator password?I don't want to lose things or content.

If you have only one account, then your admin password is your user password. If you use another account that is not an admin account, then log into your admin account from which you can change the password on your user account.

How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?

How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?
got a new laptop and need to transfer two usernames to it, complete with all documents help?

Assuming you haven't already set up a user, the easiest way is to use the Setup Assistant during first boot of the new Mac, with the two Macs connected by firewire.
You'll be prompted to migrate from a choice of sources - choose "from another Mac", select the catagories of data you want to transfer and follow the instructions.

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to connect to a Slingbox

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to set up my Slingbox? It will not accept the Apple Extreme Name and password.

The AirPort Extreme does not have a User Name, but it does have a device name and device password, which you may have already tried.
There is also a Wireless Network Name and Wireless Network Password for the AirPort Extreme, which might be what the Slingbox is looking for if you are trying to connect it to your wireless network.
There are no other "user names" or "passwords" on the AirPort Extreme.
You established the device name, device password, wireless network name and wireless network password when you originally configured the AirPort Extreme.
If you cannot remember these, you will need to perform a Soft Rest to reset everything. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document:

How can i remove a user name or account from the ipad?

I purchased the iPad from a friend who never used it but entered a user name and profile. When I try to load something from eBooks, it automatically defaults to the other user name and not mine and I don't know how to change it to my user name (email address). How can I completely remove anything related to that other user name and info?

Attach your iPad to your iMac and then in iTunes on the Mac use iTunes > File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Now double click where you want to drill down and find out for the user name.

How to detect if a user has changed a record using a custom method?

I am in the process of developing a test case application using ADF JSF and a collection of Java objects that are not populated by a database.
Details of what I have developed so far can be found on this post:
how to create a new record using a custom method?
Is it possible to detect if a user has changed the value(s) of a record?
I have set the edit page up (as described in the other post) and this works fine, but how could I tell if the user has changed something on that record. This is what I would like to do, but am not sure how to achieve it or whether it is possible....
when the user puts a record in edit mode, take a copy of that record
then when the user presses save or exit to navigate away from the edit page do a comparison between the original values and the potentially changed ones
then depending on the outcome of the comparison call an appropriate action
Thanks in advance for your help
David

If you just want to know if the value has changed you can put it in a while loop and use shift registers to see if the value has changed.

How do I save my user name a password for a site that doesn't automatically ask me if I wish to?

Normally Firefox will ask if I wish to save the user name and password for the site I've just logged into. This time it did not ask me this. Is there somewhere that I can add this information so I don't have to remember it for when I come back in a year from now and am trying to log on again? I went to tools>internet options>security>passwords but nothing there seemed relevant.

Some sites block passwords from being saved. For more details and how to bypass this see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered

How to get logged in user name from windows service c#

i use the below code to get logged in user name.
private string GetLoggedInUser()
string userName = "";
if (System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() != null)
userName = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
return userName;
just do not understand why it is not giving a logged in user name rather it is return data in this format
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM but i want to get user name.
i try to run my service as Local Service and local system account but in every case i am getting this string
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM instead of logged in user name.
so please guide me what to change in code. thanks

System is the account the service is running under.
There can be none or many interactive users be logged in. What if none or multiple are logged in? Which one are you referring to then?

User name change prevents task completion in SP Workflow

I have a workflow on a library including Infopath forms. Basically, user submits document, a group gets assigned a task and so on and so forth. I am using SharePoint 2010 and Infopath 2010 and used Designer for the Workflow.
Recently, one of our users got married and her name was changed. Ever since, whenever she submits a form to the library, nobody is able to complete the tasks generated by the workflow instance her submitted item created. This is the error we see:
The form cannot be submitted because it contains validation errors.
Errors are marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red,
dashed border (invalid values). Field or group: d:Author Error: No
exact match was found. Click the item(s) that did not resolve for more
options.
Click OK to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors.
We use Active Directory to maintain our users. When we look at active Directory, this account is fine. But in SharePoint, while the account has the new name (Jane Doe), the user ID remain the old one (jsmith rather than jdoe).
Can anyone help?

All you need it to sync the user.
Move-SPUser –Identity "Domain\OldUserName" –NewAlias "Domain\NewUsername"

How to get the current user name in Provider hosted app using appOnlyAccessToken

Hi,
Please help me, how to get the HostWeb UserName in Provider Hosted App
i have Provider hosted App, and Anonymous Authentication is enabled on AppWeb, using appOnlyAccessToken
Below code does not return current user who Log in in hostweb, it is returning
SharePoint App (app@sharepoint)
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Load(web.CurrentUser);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;
Below code gives a blank name when Anonymous Authentication is enabled, if Anonymous Authentication is disabled
app prompts for credentials
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
Thanks
Ram

Hi,
Since you are using a provider Hosted app if you want to get the current logged in name than do not use AppOnlyAccessToken else use AccessToken which is App + user Context AccessToken.
then
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Load(web.CurrentUser);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;will return proper user Name.
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name will never return the user as this object is related to IIS server of your App Server not sharepoint.you should set this as Anonymous in case of provider hosted app.you can download the below sample which uses the AccessToken which has user name in it.https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Working-provider-hosted-8fdf2d95

How do I delete remembered user names that are outdated or no longer in use?

I have developed a long list of user names that pop up and are no longer in use when I go to sign into a web site. As the list gets longer I would like to have only the user names that are up to date and in use. I have not figured how to manage user names and how to delete ones no longer in use.
