How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?

How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?
I was trying to change an Administrator Account by starting from my Leopard Install DVD and from the Utilities menu choosing Reset Password, etc. A longish story involving my inability to shut-down the computer while others are signed in but not actually using the computer. In Tiger I was able, since moving to Leopard I need to go into each of their accounts and manually log each of them out. A headache.
For right right now I need to get rid of the Other... account name, etc from my sign-in screen. How do I do this in plain English please? I find all this Admin jargon does my head in.
Cheers, SZ

You need to disable the root user. From what I understand you enabled it from the install DVD's password reset.
Use [these instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290] to disable it.
Those instructions led me down this path, I have not the head to deal with them again today. My eyes glaze-over listening to myself read them aloud. SZ

  • How to remove "Other" from my iPhone 5 memory to free up space?

    I tried doing a rest and it didn't help my problem. Are there any other things I could try?

    No.
    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Because your issue is about ASP.NET website programming, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

    How to remove pics from my 3GS..???

    Photos taken with the phone can be deleted by selecting them and hitting the little wastebasket icon in the right bottom corner.
    Photos you did sync to your phone, can only be removed by deselecting them in the photo pane in iTunes, the following sync will remove them from the phone.

    Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a  polyphonic stereo mix ?
    If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
    The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
    Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
    1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
    2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
    3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
    4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
    5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
    6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
    7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.

  • How to remove Unicode from XML file

    I get following error when unmarshal xml:
    [java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x15) was found in the element content of the document.
    Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
    Thanks

    These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

  • How to remove Seperator from check-in and profile check in pages

    How to remove Seperator from check-in and profile check in pages
    The seperator is included on the checkin pages, which is present in the std_page with name "std_namevalue_separator", this is called by td_document_checkin_fields and std_document_file_fields.
    Defination of include:
    <@dynamichtml std_namevalue_separator@>
    <$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
    <tr>
         <td width="<$captionFieldWidth$>"><hr /></td>
         <td width="<$captionEntryWidth$>"><hr /></td>
    </tr>
    <$endif$>
    <@end@>
    I have to remove the following include from some of the profile check in page.
    Please suggest if anyone have some idea, how to proceed.
    Thanks,
    Sumit

    Without writing a component, you can put this code in the "side effects" box in the desired profile(s). This code removes the horizontal rule, and inserts a non breaking space in its place.
    <$setResourceInclude("std_namevalue_separator","<$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
    <tr>
    <td width=\"<$captionFieldWidth$>\"> </td>
    <td width=\"<$captionEntryWidth$>\"> </td>
    </tr>

  • How to remove text from .swf animation?

    how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
    in fla file. Flash 8.

    exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
    on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
    'arrowTool' and hit delete.
    If you are referring to a textField that you want to
    eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
    sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
    in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
    'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
    OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
    OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
    later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
    at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
    of these works for you.

  • How to remove myself from/leave a team?

    Hi
    I'm using Visual Studio Online in my software development classes. The problem is that the "Accounts list" on my Visual Studio Online portal is crowded with projects from past years. A clean-up is needed.
    I found this solution (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/80057697-38d7-4161-8564-13c630943484/vs-tfs-online-how-to-remove-myself-from-a-team-?forum=TFService), but the problem in order to apply it is that I have no more contact with
    a lot of those students + most of their accounts are expired.
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Evert
    PS: my apologies for any linguistic mistakes... English isn't my mother tongue.

    Hi Evert,
    Based on your description, seems you're the owner of the Visual Studio Online account. If you want to remove your account from the teams that expired, then you can delete the teams directly in team project administrative page of team web access.
    If you only want to remove your account from the teams, then you can click the team and remove your account in administrative page.
