HT1338 forgot my admn password, no cd. what can I do to install software?

Hi - My daughter forgot the administrative password she used for her computer. We want to install more software on her computer but we can't. Also we never got a CD... what can we do?

If you are in the US call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
If you are in another country:

    I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

  • What do i do?  I forgot my ipad password and so i can't use it?

    what do i do?  I forgot my ipad password and so i can't use it?

    Have you ever connected this iPad to your computer? Looked at the manual (it is bookmarked in Safari)?
    1. Use the USB cable that came with your iPad, connect one end to the dock on the iPad, the other end to your computer.
    2. When iTunes on your computer opens, click on the name of your iPad. It will appear on the very left hand frame under the heading DEVICES.
    3. Move to the right and make sure the tab that says Summary is open. Look down on the page and you will have a selection for Restore. Click it.
    4. When asked select Restore as a new iPad, not Restore from Backup.
    5. Wait for the Restore to finish. Do not interrupt it before it is done or disconnect.

    i recieve a mail form apple team showing reset password link but its not opening

    I rang Apple and they could noy help me.
    They are often pretty impatient with these questions.
    You will need to contact iTunes Support for this. Be prepared to supply the answers that you do know, plus some additional personal information that only you will know.
    Start here: https://expresslane.apple.com/
    Click iTunes > iTunes Store > Other iTunes topics and questions. Eventually you get to a point at which you can compose a thoughtfully worded email. Apple will respond via email within a day. Be sure to check your spam folder for this reply.
    Normal business hours apply, so you may have to wait until Monday. They will ask you for more personal information, and then you will have to wait for another reply which will provide instructions for resetting your password as well as answers to the security questions. Good luck!

    my ipad is blocked, because I entered wrong password many times. what can I do

    Restore the iPad from the computer to which the iPod 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

    It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

  • My Macbook is not recognizing my password, why? What can I do to fix?

    My Macbook Pro is a late 2011 Model running OS X. I can't give more specific specs right now as I can't log on to it.
    Background:
    I have been running into the issue for the past several months of a dim green light on the Charger. The possible issues I am guessing and have read with this are:
    a.) Need a new battery b.) Need a new Charger c.) Need to charge the logic board.
    c.) was inspired by this thread Why dose my MacBook not turn on and the charger light is very faint and the post by "rajjulian" (7 posts in)
    Inspired by c.) I took my Macbook apart for the first time last night and pulled out the battery. According the post in c.) I can somehow "charge the motherboard". It was not obvious to me that I could actually do this. So I put everything back together.
    I turned the computer back on and used the internet for a few minutes. I tried to download a file and came across the error "Not enough Disk Space" (or something like this :-/). After checking I still have plenty of room on the computer looking at the diagnostics (less than half the total storage is being used).
    Upon searching the internet again I came across an article, which I can't find again because its on the downed computers history. Anyways, I ran a Disk Repair in Disk Utilities. I then upgraded my Software. Restarted the computer. And attempted to login. Which it did not allow me to do. It did not recognize my user password.
    Latest: I can't even get into the login screen this afternoon. Its on the grey Apple screen with the loading circle thingy.
    Moral: Only try fixing your computer if you know what you are doing.
    Any help or ideas for how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I have a lot of important files I need to get off of this thing :-/
    Thanks ahead, Kyle

    Go to the printer manufacture website and download the drivers for your printer model for OS X v10.9 Mavericks.
    Then open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
    Select your printer on the left then click -  (minus)
    Then click + (plus) to add the printer.
