HT1732 Can I startup in Mac OS 9 without logging into my computer's account?

I have an iMac G3 with Mac OS 10.3.9. I want to start it up in Mac OS 9 but there is a problem. It has a password but I can't remember it. Is there a way that I can start it up in Mac OS 9 without having to log into the account?

Press the Option key at startup and choose the Mac OS 9 system. If it doesn't show up, click here and follow the instructions.

  • I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top.  Is it because of my operating system?  I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top.  Is it because of my operating system?  I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8? Every time I try to enter my data in on the control panel I get an error that says; "Your MobileMe member name or password may be invalid. Please enter a different name or password."  I know the name and password is correct because I can log in via the Web.

    Apple discontinued it on June 30, 2012. Many of its services are now provided by iCloud; anything which connects specifically to MobileMe won't work.

  • Can I get a Mac email address without using the cloud?

    Can I get a Mac email address without having to use the cloud?  The OS on my desktop computer has not been upgraded to support it yet, but my phone will.

    Apple don't provide @mac.com addresses anymore. They haven't done for years.
    You can get an @me.com email address but ony by signing up for iCloud on an iOS device or Mac.

    Stick the 10.6 disk into the machine and reboot holding the option/alt key down on a wired/built in keyboard.
    On the second screen, under the Utilities menu is a Password Reset, use it.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    What this will do is reset the password and the user account permissions in the process.
    You might have problems with Keychain afterwards, to fix that.

  • Why do I have to turn on my wi-fi manually every time I log into my computer? Can't it just log in when I do?

    Why do I have to turn on my wi-fi manually every time I log into my computer? Can't it just log in when I do?

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reset the System Management Controller.
    9. Reset the PRAM.
    10. Reinstall OS X.

    Buy a retail Snow Leopard DVD. After installing that, you can upgrade to Lion if you wish.

  • I can not get my ipod 4 gen to log into Free Wifi hotspots. It shows that it is connected but I have to internet activity. I was at several hotspot locations last night and could not get on any, but other people were. HELP.

    I can not get my Ipod 4 Gen to log into free WIFI hot spots. It shows that I am connected but I have no internet activity. I was in several hot spots last night and could not log in, other people were, but I could not. HELP!

    - Did the other users who successfully connected have iDevices?
    - Frequently you have to open Safari/a browser and agree to the terms and conditions of the wifi spot before yo can get to the internet.  Some wifi spots use Flash or Java to log on which the iPod (and other iDevices) do not support)
    - Have you tried resetting network settings: Settings:General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Does you Ipod successfully connect at home?.

    Everyone here - please take a look at this thread ( the last two posts by WZZZ and Thomas Reed):
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15205291#15205291
    It appears that a) Hotmail has 19 domains functioning as distributors for malware and b) someone is distributing pirated software. Although it does not appear to be related to the recent trojan, my suggestion: stay away from both.
    Edit: so why does everyone here appear to have pirated software (and doing it through it App Store)?????
