    How do I reset the password for my MacBook Pro?

    User password.
    An administrator can reset the passwords of other users.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it and provide an administrator name and password, select a user, and then click Reset Password.

    chouman1,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it? Was the password for an administrative user account, or for a standard user account, or was it a firmware password?

  • Too many suggestions on resetting wifi password for my MacBook Pro!  How is it really done?

    I'm trying to reset my wifi passwork on my MacBook Pro.  There are way too many suggestions on the internet.  I want to get the "real" way to do it so I don't make a mistake.  Thanks

    Sorry. Read that as system password the first time. The wifi password needs to be reset in your router, then on your devices. How to do it depends on which router you have.
    In the Airport Extreme, use Airport Utility to get into the router. Double click the base station then choose edit. Select the wireless tab. Enter the new password there.

  • MacBook purchased from eBay USA. Difficulty in retrieving USERNAME and PASSWORD for my MACBook Pro

    Please help me retrieving my MacBook User ID and Password !!!! URGENT !!!

    This was discussed at length in other forums (can't be mentioned here) and there were several people (including myself) involved in some serious, different-scenarios testing. The utlimate goal was/is to publish an all-encompassing user tip since the entirely new/different licensing requirements are confusing at best; however, we have been stymied by a lack of definitive Apple policies on the iLife apps (another story).
    So, no, there is no documentation from Apple, but the facts are that Command + R will need an Apple ID and will reinstall the current system, so that is only an option for someone who purchased Lion or ML at the app store (such as the current owner/seller). However, Command + Option + R can be used by the seller to get the machine back to its originally installed system (unless it was SL or previous of course). In an emergency, it can also be used by a buyer; however, the preferred method is to start with the original install media and upgrade from there using their own Apple ID.
    When I first saw the new SLA, I submitted a bug report to Apple to be more specific with their instructions - that was shortly after Lion was introduced. I never received a reply.

  • What is the default superuser password for a macbook pro

    I created a user account and I am the 'admin'.  When I type 'su' in a terminal window, my password is not accepted.  I also set up a 'master password' and
    this is also not accepted as the superuser password.  What can I use for the superuser password or how do I change it?

    By default, it's set to an illegal value. Unless the root user has been enabled, nothing will be accepted.

  • HT1338 thunderbolt to gigabit update for retina macbook pro

    Still only getting 100mbs through tis connector. Any updates yet?

    The only Thunderbolt display I'm aware of is Apple's.  However, the Thunderbolt port on your MBP is also a mini-displayport and that is the normal way of connecting an external display to your MBP.  You therefore need a mini-displayport to whatever you need on the TV end, e.g. HDMI.  Apple have a good selection of cables on their online store.

  • Someone changed the password to my macbook pro

    Someone changed the password for my MacBook Pro---and as the administrator I cannot go in and change it back...or least cannot figure out how to do it.  Is there some secret way to do it when blocked from the typical password change options?

  • After forgetting the password for my iPhone, I am trying to restore it through iTunes, however, during the process, the phone keeps turning on and asking for the password, thus canceling the process. Any advice?

    After forgetting the password for my iPhone, I am trying to restore it through iTunes, however, during the process, the phone keeps turning on and asking for the password, thus canceling the process. Any advice?

    Yes, you will still get the prompt.
    I meant reset then try the recovery mode restore again.
    You can also try DFU Mode.
    DFU (Device Firmware Update) Mode is different than Recovery Mode.
    DFU Mode is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes, yet it does not load the iBoot bootloader.
    DFU Mode:
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
    Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
          NOTE: Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present. Be patient, it make take several trys.
