How to recover my administrator passcode

How can I recover my administrator passcode on my MacBook?

You can't recover it but you can change it. Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. 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). 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. Just 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.

    hello everyone.
    thanks for you replies.
    I'm on windowns.
    Problem is that I even don´t remember the name of my "user" administrator. I don´t know if it's "system" or "sysdba" or "administrator" or "root" ... :(
    I´m a student, I don´t know nothing about admin databases.
    in generally when I install something I use to write and keep the user I used to install but this time I forgot.
    - I tried Aman... clue, problem is that I have to connect to the database as SYSDBA to perform it.
    - I didn´t understand Mastalerz clue.
    any more clue, or I'll have to unistall my db ? :(

  • How to recover the passcode of my ipad

    my wife made a passcode unfortunately she can't remember the passcode she made. so my question is how to recover the passcode so that i can use my ipad again. thanks in advance!!!

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that's been forgotten, restore the iPad from the computer to which the iPad is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPad into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
