How to find my old user account?

When I upgraded to tiger I chose "Upgrade Mac OS X". I should have selected the Archive option so I could have preserved my settings. But I didn't.
So now all my setttings are not working - I can't get my mail through Entourage, my bookmarks are missing, etc.
I can see a folder containing my old username, but I can't figure out how to log into that name. My log in choices do not include it. My log in choice is restricted to root.
My question is: How do I log in under my old name?

My log in choice is restricted to root
Did you enable the root user account? If so, disable it and try again. I've never had your problem and have always used the upgrade earlier version option.
See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290 for details.

            HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
            sendForward(request, response, loginUrl);
        } catch (FailedLoginException fle) {
            FacesMessage msg =
                new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Incorrect Username or Password", "An incorrect Username or Password was specified");
            ctx.addMessage(null, msg);
        } catch (LoginException le) {

How do i delete the old users account on my second hand imac g5 without the origonal disc

im new to imacs and not sure how to delete the old users account without the origonal disc

First of all, you need to make sure your current user account (the one you intend to keep) is an administrator account (not standard).
Go to System Preferences Accounts pane. Click the lock, if it's locked, and enter your authorization, to unlock.
In the sidebar, you will see the list of user accounts. To delete a user account, select it on the list and click the minus sign.

How can I retrieve my old user account?

Hi,
I migrated my old iMac to my new 27" iMac and did it wirelessly via the internet and it took ages. Apple support told me to do it this way because my old iMac is 400 Firewire and my new one only has 800 Firewire and I only had a 400 Firewire cord.
I was told to choose the no I don't want to migrate when I went through registering my computer. I then got it set up with internet and then went into Migration Assistant. I told the woman I spoke too that it was going to create a problem with my old user account and she said I could just delete it.
Here is my dilemma. My old user account is called Pink Tuley (which has all my information, documents etc. on it), I created a new account called Tuley and you guessed it it's a shell with nothing there. All my stuff in on Pink Tuley and when I go to MacintoshHD users and locate my Pink Tuley folder there are a bunch of folders that I can't open (they have that red circle with a white bar in the middle of them). How do I make Pink Tuley my main account or get all the Pink Tuley stuff onto my new Tuley account? I hope there is a way to figure this out.

Niel,
Thanks that was easy. Now can I go and delete the new user account I created when I first registered this computer? I have a few user accounts from my old machine I don't use, can I delete those also or is it best to leave them alone?

How do I make my old user account perform like the new one?

I have a macbook pro 13" 2008 with 8 gb of ram that has been showing stuttering in hd video lately (or maybe when i upgraded to lion). I created another user and it doesn't seem to suffer any stuttering. Perhaps it doesn't have weird things running the background like the 655mb kernal task I see in activity monitor. My question is, how do I make my old user account perform like the new one? I've tried to turn off things running the background, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

How to find out what user locked account

We had production type schema account locked this morning. I checked profile which this user belongs and it has 3 times for Failed Login Attempts. My question is how to find out what user had 3 unsuccessful login attempts and lock this account.
Oracle version 8.1.7

Assuming that [auditing was enabled|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/security.htm#sthref2916], the command
AUDIT CONNECT WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFULThat will write audit records when there is an unsuccessful login. Depending on how you've configured auditing, those records will either be written to the SYS.AUD$ table, in which case you can query them through a few different views, or to a file on the operating system that you can grep.

Problems with old user account coming up during downloads.

i am trying to download internet explorer 9.0 on desktop Presario PC. When installing the user account control pops up. A while ago, we had to restore the computer and now operating off a different user account. Any upgrades are defaulting to the old user account icon and looking for a password, I do not remember the old password. I tried to change user account profile, but it always is looking for old user account and password. Thanks for any help

Hello esther70
What operating system are you running and what is the model of your HP computer? If you are unsure of the model, follow the link below. Is the current account you are using an Administrator?

thanks for help in advance

Does the old user account have the same name as before , or has it been changed to 'xyz (deleted)' ?.
If it has a usable name, just go to System Preferences - Accounts & create a new one with that exact name.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents
You can then logout & into the 'new' one.
If the name needs changing : follow https://web.archive.org/web/20130919225809/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428
rather than the current version at Apple
If you want to continue using the new account you've already made, but access the old folders :
Select the old account home folder in Finder, then use Finder - File menu - Get info (command I). Open the 'Sharing & Permissions' section at the bottom, then click the padlock icon at bottom right & authenticate with an admin name & password.
Click the + button & add your new account name to the list, then select it & change 'Read only' to 'Read & Write'.
Now click the gear icon at the bottom & choose 'Apply to enclosed items...'

Can't delete old user accounts from iBook (G3 - Darwin 6.8)

Hello,
I'm having a pain of a time trying to remove the old user accounts on this iBook I was given. The accounts page in the system settings is unlocked, I click on an accountm, the click on Delete User, it works for a while, and then when it is finished 'deleting' the user account is still there, nothing has been deleted. I've try a dozen times now. I'm stumped. Can't find anything on the internet that will help.
Thanks,
David.

So far, I've not had this kind of issue; but did find a few directions to check to see how to go about removing user accounts... or renaming them, etc. One of the recent discussions I've read through (three pages) had some ideas that could work.
Outside of booting the OS X computer into a super-user account where you can delete Admin users, etc and probably if not familiar with unix, do some incredible damages too; I'd try other exercises first as I am timid. What version of OS X is running in your vintage computer?
In the process of 'Change Name on Home Folder' some revealing ideas came across; some may transfer...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3366855?tstart=0
And some ideas that could be used to another end, may be found here...
http://www.cultofmac.com/126621/how-to-move-or-rename-your-mac-home-folder-macrx /
How to delete user accounts...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/3836878#3836878
However, there are no warrantees expressed or implied. Always a fine idea to read and sort information since some of the ideas available only allow you do perform the practice once correctly. Or wish you had.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to create a new user account?

Hi,
Could you point me to the document/maunal on
how to create a new user account for OS X 10.4?
I somehow couldn't find that from Apple web site.
And I found one here:
http://www.mcelhearn.com/article.php?story=2004110211244242
and followed the instruction:
# echo 'henry::512:512::0:0:Henry James:/Users/henry:/bin/bash' | sudo niload -v passwd /
but nothing happened. Either this doesn't work with
V10.4 (which I use), or I missed something.
Any pointer would be much apprecaited.
Thanks.

Hi Allan and Simon,
Thanks for your responses.
Sorry I didn't make my question clear. I meant:
"How to create a new user account with command line"?
The GUI (System Preference) would work. But I'd like
to how to do it from command line (just like on Unix).
Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thank you.
