How to get administration password

Please advice how to get administrator password

With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
With 10.8 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
resetpassword
and press enter.
You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

  • How to get "clear passwords" on WGM

    When adding a user or editing an existing one, there is the problem that password fields (accounts section, tab "general") just show points (*) instead of the real password.
    I find this annoying, since there is definitively nobody that looks over my shoulder when I work in WGM
    It just forces me to keep a database with all my users' passwords in the case they have forgot theirs and just want to get remembered to the old ones.
    Is there a way (maybe a manually done setting in a *.plist file or anything else) to get readable password fields ?

    But let me say that is absolutely pointless to be paranoid about cgi's/scripts/
    whatever on one side and on the other side have a relaxed password "policy".
    You read my other thread, thanks (if you can provide me some tips, please do so there).
    Well, in the case a user's password is spread, the worst thing that could happen is someone unauthorized reads the user's e-mails and modifies his/her website (my users do not have access to any other service). Although this would be worst enough for the user, it doesn't hurt the server itself (don't know if system integrity would be the matching term, but let's use it).
    I agree fully to you that a password should not last too long... ideally the user could change its password without my assistance from time to time. But this seems not to be possible (you or someone else directed me to a plugin for WebMail/SquirrelMail that can be used to alter passwords from user's side, but I feared to install it so far since I know too less about SquirrelMail and how to bug-fix it in case of problems).
    But since I'm the only person that access my computer, the passwords are stored secure enough. Furthermore the fact that WGM replaces typed in chars to "*" for passwords doesn't make them secure. It just hides them when someone looks over my shoulder.
    Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts. If you can tell me how to make passwords visible in WGM, please don't hesitate and let me know. I will not take you responsible in case of stolen passwords. Promised

  • I need to know how to get my password for when i want to download apps, i totally forgot it.. How do i get it back !?

    You do not have the legal right to use the last owners content, nor is it legal for you to hack her account by getting her password.
    You need to erase the ipod and pout your content on it.

    Hello,
    I just dowload Os X Maverick to my macbook pro. But for installation it is asking administrator password that I never had or know. I checked the support link, and check my computer case, but there were no CD. I asked to retail seller to dowload the computer and probably they never give me back.
    Does anyone know how can I change it without the CD.

  • How to get Administration Assistant

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One (basic install, with portal), in a Win 2003 AD server, following the workaround described in Metalink bug 3686612.
    This involves using the Administration Assistant, but I don't see it anywhere. What is the SIMPLEST way of getting it installed on the machine (or executing an equivalent procedure for step 5 below).
    ========== Partial quote from bug 3686612 ==========
    5) I ran the Oracle "Administration Assistant for Windows", followed the tree down until I found my new database, right mouse clicked on it and selected "Startup/Shutdown Options". On the "Oracle Instance" tab, I selected "Start up instance when service is started", "Shut down instance when service is stopped", and "Shutdown Mode" of "Shutdown Immediate".
    I then clicked "OK" and clicked the upper right corner to close the assistant. When prompted "Save console settings to orammcadm10US.MSC?", I clicked "Yes".
    The database now starts up when I reboot the server.
    ====================
