Without the OS install disk you're stuck (are you running 10.5.6 as your profile says?).

Apple will sell you a replacement disk for a modest fee.
If you're running 10.7 or 10.8 post back - you don't need a disk for those OS's.

  • How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

    Hi,
    I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:
    OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAPB=IRC_BRAND
    How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
    Thanks,
    ashok

    Ashok,
    Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
    OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
    OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

  • 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:

    Robert:
    May I strongly urge you to get a set of installer CDs. They will come in handy as you need them for much more than just installing the OS. From time to time, e.g. you may need to boot from the installer disk to Repair Disk (you can Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility on the HDD, but to Repair Disk, you must boot from a different volume). And if you had installer CDs changing the password and creating a new Admin Account would be a breeze.
    You can get universal installer disks at applerescue. Another option in your situation is to do a complete re-install. That will not only enable you to create your own admin account, but it will automatically change the computer short name. However, for that you need installer disks.
    Meanwhile, <a href=""http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121786&tstart=0>here is another article that should help.
    Good luck.

    How can I changed the system username and password
    Need help urgent

    Paolo,
    If I understand his requirement good (to have system user but must be called xxxx) then that's the option.
    Well, that's obvious...Sure, but sometimes we see complicated thing but not something what is obvious...
    Also your demonstration to OP how to change user password indicate that OP-level of knowing Oracle user management is such that OP maybe need help for something what is for you or me obvious...
    Cheers!

  • To download Contribute, how do I find SFTP number, user name and password?

    To download Contribute, am asked for a SFTP number, user name and password.  How do I find those?
    Am using a Mac Mini.

    I had been using an earlier version of Contribute, but when I upgraded to a Mac Mini, it no longer worked.   Then I got a new version on a trial basis.   When I tried to load to go full time with it a couple of days ago, I was asked for the SFTP number, user name and password.   I am trying to download and use on my Mac Mini in my home office.
    I just don't know what the SFTP number is or where I'd find it.   I'm an uninformed, non-technical computer user.

    Hi,
    Not sure of what you want.
    Have a look at v$session view. Machine column is maybe what you're looking for.
    If you want to retrieve the local host executing remote desktop, it's actually not possible natievely, since it's still remote host that is connecting to the database.
    Hope it helps.

  • How do I reset the "administrator" name and password - the one that I use when I first log on? Thanks

    When I first turn on the computer (MacBook Pro) I am required to type in a password.  How do I change that username and password?  Thanks

    ds store wrote:
    Reboot with the installer disk that comes with the computer, you need to hold c while booting, under the second or third screen is a menu option to reset the password.
    This is necessary if you don't remember the password. However if you know it and just wnat to change it, go to system preferences, accounts and then unlock it by typing in the admin name and password (the current one). Now click on the admin account on the side and you can change the name by typing one in the full name: box and the password by clicking the change password button.
