How do I unsave my password from iChat so other people can't log on as me?

I'm using a loaner computer and signed on to iChat but now my password is saved and I don't want other people to be able to sign on as me. There doesn't seem to be any way to set it to require entry of a password.
Many thanks.

Hi Cameronian,
Open Keychain Access for the Applications/Utilities folder.
Find the Keychain for the account and double click it.
Now select the Show Password tick box.
You will be asked for your Admin Password.
Enter it and click the allow once.
Delete the password.
In iChat go to Preferences > Accounts and delete the password in the account in question.
In iChat when you are asked for your password make sure the Save Password tickbox is unchecked.

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

What do you mean get password so no one can make or take drives from laptop? This is confusing as to what your saying or asking?
Passwords if you don't write it down or remember how it was written will be good or bad for you if you forget it. So don't just think it will lock others out - you can also lock yourself out as well. Rather you should keep your laptop in a safe place where you have access to it and no one else and only put password on it when you travel or if another members wants to use it you password block the Admin/Main user but make them a Limited user account that way they have no access to your important files.

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.
Repair-SPManagedAccountDeployment (This checks synch of passwords)
set-spmanagedAccount -UseExistingPassword
This is on a Windows Small Business Server 2011, which runs SharePoint 2010.

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,

If you can't remember your password or security answers and don't have access to the email address (you didn't have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you can try contacting Support in your country and seeing if you can get the password reset and access to the account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (they should also be able to reset the security questions)
If you can then update the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to.

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.

What kind of "material" are you talking about. If it's files that you stored on iDisk (part of MobileMe), then you won't have them available in iCloud - iCloud doesn't not offer a service similar to iDisk.
