How to change the Admin name/password?

Hello, I have a iMac 27 inch i5 16GB RAM (don't think this matters, but just in case) and I am selling it in order to upgrade to the i7.
I have bootcamp with windows 8pro and a lot of software on the MAC side. If this guy want to take it as is, is there a way to simply change the "account" from mine to a new person without wiping the drives and starting from scratch?

Are you a police officer? Did I ask for legal advice? You are wrong, my friend. not to mention, a lot of software is bought online, no disks. Either way, if I buy my nephew a laptop, buy dvd fab and put it on his computer...and do not give him the confirmation email, that is not a crime. Not trying to be an azz, buut come on. Why can't someone just answer a question here without the 3rd degree, I just looked for a solution as to why my finder doesn't update to show shares, and if there is a "refresh" option. I found a thread! Guess what? Everyone there was asking "why would you want to do that?" Who cares?! It is a question!
nice job, apple with not allopwing certain words in your posts. I guess apple users are more easily butt hurt than the others lol
And no one answered what happens if I delete my email address that is connected to my apple ID?

I just got a new MacBook Pro, the tech person that added additional memory created my admin name with a typo. It is driving me nuts.

Do you mean the "short" name or the "long" name? In either event try reading this and see if this helps solve the problem:

Changing the Admin name

How can i change the Admin name on my mac mini?

Do you mean the user account that has 'Administer this computer' privileges?
Once created, you can't (easily) alter a users name. ou could just create a new user with admin privileges and delete the old one( saving any data in the old users $HOME (~) first).

How to change the bluetooth name? in my pc,

Hi there!
How to change the Bluetooth name for my N70.
I can change it in my N70, but the first installed name still pops up on my computer. Can't find it anywhere so i can have the same name in my phone as on the computer. Is there some kind of registry that keeps the first name maybe??
Any ideas?

I am not sure about how to change SERVICE_NAME in PL/SQL Developer (if at all it can be done in that ), but you will have to change the SERVICE_NAME in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
1. Locate the entry for PLSExtProc in the file tnsnames.ora at:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
2. Change the SERVICE_NAME = ORCL
3. Save and reconnect

How to change the "short name (account name?)" and home directory name?

Hi,
I recently purchased a new iMac and migrated account info from my MacBook Pro. I happened to use random account name during migration without knowing it will not be easy to change the short name (account name?) and home directory name. As a result, I am now having extremely confusing short name and home directory name on my new iMac.
I did online search to find out how to change the two names, but I could only found somethig like "enabiling root user and....." I have no idea what it was talking about and I don't want to take risk altering such advance set up manually.
Please advice how I can change the short name and home directory name safely without much PC knowledge.
Thank you very much in advance.

There are a few ways of doing this. The easiest method is logging into the first account and copying everything to an external drive (or flash drive or whatever), which changes the permissions so that others can see the files.
Then, login with the new account and copy the files over. Once they are copied, the correct permissions will be applied again (so other people on your computer can't access them).
If you can't do this method for one reason or other, you can do some terminal commands to change the ownership of the files. Login to the new account. If it is an admin account, open terminal and type the following command:
sudo chown -R -v yourusername:admin /Users/originalaccountnamehere
That should change the ownership of the files from your old account to the new one. At that point, you can simply drag the files into place.

Question on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields in the MDT Wizard

MDT 2012 U1
Deploying Windows 7 via Offline Media (ISO) to MS Virtual PC's
I am looking on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields which are prepopulated in the MDT wizard via the CS.ini (Not so concerned about the Domain field as I am User Name and Password)
We do need the Computer Name and OU fields to be seen, so skipping the wizard is not a option
The client just does not want these fields to be seen by the end users, they dont want them to even know the account name used for adding the machine to the domain, of course the password is not displayed but it must not be displayed either.
But since we use the fields they must still be fuctional just not seen.
Thanks.....

You shouldn't have to edit DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml. You should only need to add "SkipAdminPassword=YES" to the CS.ini file and your authentication information.
Example:
[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=NO
SkipAdminPassword=YES
UserID=<MyUserID>
UserPassword=<MyPassword>
UserDomain=<MyDomain.com>
SkipProductKey=NO
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=NO
-Nick O.
Nick,
SkipAdminPassword=YES is for:
You can skip the Administrator Password wizard page by using this property in the
customsettings.ini.
I am hidding the Username/Password/and domain field in the computer name Wizard pane which is read from the cs.iniDomainAdmin=xxxxx
DomainAdminPassword=xxxxx
DomainAdminDomain=xxxxxx
JoinDomain=xxxxxx

How to change the package name for a msg class

Can anybody tell me how to change the package name for a message class.
and how will it effect in the rerport?
thanks in advance
kp

>>and how will it effect in the report?
You wouldn't see any direct effect on the Report.. But if you transport the report to QA & leave the Message class in Dev, it might result in syntax issues & you will not be able to execute the report. Just ensure that both of them get transported to QA & you will be fine.

In the Localization MovieClip:
var pbcBtnTips_ENU:Array = new Array("Rewind ",
          "Back ",
          "Play ",
          "Pause ",
          "Forward ",
          "Closed Captioning ",
          "Audio On ",
          "Audio Off ",
          "Exit ",
