How to find original admin and password to restore iMac.

We have new drive in iMac and now can't get time machine to open the iBook live back up to restore.  Any suggestions?

You can reset the admin password from your install disc if you are running (Mac OS X 10.3, Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.1, Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X 10.5).

  • How to find all your saved password data on iMac?

    I once saw all my saved password information on my computer somewhere in system preferences or keychain access. How do I view them again. Please help, I forgot my password to my email account which is saved on computer but i need the actual password for when i log into another computer trying to check my email.

    I went to Safari, Preferences clicked on Passwords (icon KEY) and found the list websites and passwords, hidden by asteriks, that are saved by the system. Highlight the website you want the password for and check box below Show passwords for selected websites. It will ask for your computer's main password. This worked like a charm.

  • How to share user login and passwords between blog, forum and Dreamweaver?

    I have a site created with Dreamweaver. I want to allow
    visitors to create a username and password which will allow them to
    post blog feedback to many pages on my site, post in a forum, and
    provide their own comments into a database I can show the results
    for on certain pages. The trick is I want this to all work with one
    username and password so they don't have to use 3 different logins.
    I'm not sure if this is too technical, but I thought I'd ask before
    getting into it and realizing it won't work or I don't have a clue
    what I'm doing.
    I want to allow blog data to be added to a page with CSS
    content by both admin and visitors (to create an active discussion
    based on the data on that page). I've seen it on some sites, but
    don't know how to do it myself:
    http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/19/ea-extends-take-two-purchase-offer-deadline-a-third-time /
    I can see they are using Weblogs Inc. software, but it
    appears the company only collaborates with people they see a fit
    with.
    I also want a forum and I know phpp is recommended. I like
    the interface, but am unsure if the login data can be shared with a
    blog.
    Lastly, I wanted to allow users to write their own reviews
    and then show the results and average them for display on the site.
    I have read and know how to create the database for the site. I
    just don't know how to share the usernames and password information
    with the blog and forum.
    Also, how do I force Dreamweaver to validate that the
    usernames and passwords are exactly correct before letting people
    post under that identity?
    I'm loving Dreamweaver and making sites so far. Just trying
    to take it to the next level.
    Thanks very much!

    What you want is a CMS, but your not going to get one for
    Dreamweaver,
    well, not the kind you want. Something like Joomla can do
    this, you can
    add phpBB3 to it, and then using the JFusion extension allow
    them to
    share the user database, but I warn you now, its a steep
    learning curve.
    I ended up buying a book just to get to grips with the key
    concepts.

  • How to suffix user name and password remote pc in shutdown /s command

    Hi,
    We can shutdown a remote pc  using " shutdown /s /m \\ipaddress " command, only if password of remote pc is stored in windows credential  manager.
    But how to  add user name and password when i execute the command for example : when we map a share folder on our pc we use below command with  user name and password

              If u r using Form based auth u need to send Post a request with j_user_name &
              j_password to the action j_security_check. and when server returns back the
              cookie
              u need to hold it and pass that cookie to the each and every request made to the

              Basically u need to imitate the browser.

    Hi all,
    Do  you know how to find the Date and Time of Addition of Column to a Particular Table?.
    I know however, How to find the modification time of the Table. Using the below Query :
    Select Object_Name, to_Char(Last_DDL_TIME, 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') Last_DDL from User_Objects where Object_Type = 'TABLE';
    Object_Name
    Last_DDL

    I wanted to know the Creation or Modification Date and Timestamp of all columns of Employee Table?. Is it possible at all. If possible, How to get it?.
    Regards,

    I agree with you on that. Since its a development enviornment I can remove the column but that not my point here.
    My whole purpose it to know whether we get the Column's Creation or Modification DateTime.

  • How do i personalize it and password protect it?

    My internet works, I was trying to set up my new airport extreme and my computer froze in the process and now it works but the light blinks amber and its an open network connection that anyone can connect to.  I tried a factory reset, but it won't go back to the easy setup process like the first time.  It just opens and my computer connects.  Any thoughts for how to rename the network and password protect it?

    To rename the Network Name: AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Network Name
    To enable wireless security: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Security. I would recommend using "WPA2 Personal" for the security type.

    You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
    In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
    Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".
