HT2518 how do you know your user name and password?

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to move data from my PC over to my new iMac. It wants a name/password. Everything I've tried (which I've always used) doesn't work...???!!! Help! How do I find out my name/password for Migration assistant????

Password for the Mac. It is trying to write to the Mac hard drive in an area that is restricted and only access by typing in the Mac Admin password.
Or at least that is how I see it.
Good Luck.
PS:
Migration assistant really doesn't work. Even when it looks like it is working it leave you with unintended consequences.
Also there is Nothing on your Windows PC that the Mac can use. No programs or settings. The only thing you can use on the Mac from Windows are your presonal files, Music, images and office data files.
So it is easier to just copy them over to the Mac then using MA, as you may have found out.

What if you forget your user name AND password?

Hello:
We have several user names and passwords in our family all connected to different devices. We have one account that we use for audiobooks only. We had to delete the programs off the laptop and reinstall and now we can't remember the user name or password. I have a good idea of what the user name is, I emailed Apple help with it and asked them if they could help me reset the password. One of the problems is that I am not honest with verification questions like birthdate for privacy and security. This isn't helpful when they want my birthdate to get beyond the security check point and I didn't write down the lie entered.
We have several hundred dollars of books in that account. I can't even remember which email address we linked the account to.
I'm hoping that maybe Apple can help if we get them the serial number of the device?
Suggestions?

Hello,
I do not have such a problem, because I had a very helpful idea. At the moment, I am usinig two User, an Admin and a User. You would not have such a problem, if you follow this instruction:
1. Make an Admin and an Useraccount.
2. Ceep both Users with keywords.
3. Hide the Ode of the Adminaccount, where you would never lose him.
4. Use the normal User.
5. If you would forget your keyword, put out the keyword of the Adminaccount and reset the keyword of the other user.

I am receiving the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' problem on Adobe Muse CC 2014 and I cannot access the xml file that is supposed to fix this issue?

I am a PC user and I have Adobe Creative Cloud Muse 2014. I have received the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' error when trying to upload my muse site to my ftp host, GoDaddy. I have successfully done this in the past and only recently it has stopped working. I looked online at the FAQ Adobe Muse Help | Uploading an Adobe Muse Site to a third-party hosting service and it said to download the ftpprefs.xml file but this file simply leads to a blank page that says /*Not found*//*Not found*/.
Can someone direct me to a working page with this file or provide a different solution? Thank you!

Hello,
As you are getting error [Access denied: 530] it means issue is with access. Either the username and password you are entering is incorrect or you do not have proper permissions.
I would suggest you to contact Godaddy to either reset password or reset the permissions.
Regards
Vivek

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to connect to a Slingbox

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to set up my Slingbox? It will not accept the Apple Extreme Name and password.

The AirPort Extreme does not have a User Name, but it does have a device name and device password, which you may have already tried.
There is also a Wireless Network Name and Wireless Network Password for the AirPort Extreme, which might be what the Slingbox is looking for if you are trying to connect it to your wireless network.
There are no other "user names" or "passwords" on the AirPort Extreme.
You established the device name, device password, wireless network name and wireless network password when you originally configured the AirPort Extreme.
If you cannot remember these, you will need to perform a Soft Rest to reset everything. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document:

How do I recover lost user name and password

I cannot log in to eprinter I forgot my user name and password. how can I resolve the problem?

Try using the forgot password link when you are on the sign in screen. The username is always the email address you registered with, so put your email in and it should send a password reset link. If you have multiple email addresses and dont remember which one you used try this with each email until you get a reset link.

How can I hide the user name and password from the url address?

Good afternoon every body,
I have a form running with Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 and when I run the form on the web it shows the user name and password of my data base. Can anyone of you please help me to hide the user name and password, if there's any way of course?.
Thanks a lot!!.

Luis,
Then, as inolau's notice, create logon screen (or use the default one) and force the users to logon at runtime. Do not pass username/password as parameters.
inolau,
True that if the connection is specified in the config it will be the same for everyone. However, every case is different. For example one of our apps gets S3 credentials (from non-Oracle S3) as session parameters. It uses this common db connection to validate some stuff with the database, read security definitions and then it re-connects the forms using the credentials.

How do i stop sharing a library without knowing the user name and password?

Ok, So i was browsing in iTunes just to see what im able to do and i noticed that I am sharing my library with a total stranger. I clicked on the link under "shared" (it has his name) but i need a password in order to access it. i dont want anything from his library i just want nothing to do with his library. Im assuming its been a while that we were "sharing" libraries. The thing is i didnt know about it. It explains why i can never keep a iTunes gift card, it always appears to be out of mine the next day i register the card and i didnt buy anything yet! Have i been hacked? Is there any way i could get him off my iTunes?! PLEASE HELP ME!!

I do not know the user name and password

My brother died. Worked his survey data and when Enter Me does not accept. What is the solution.?

It wasn't clear from your post which step you were having a problem with. If you just do not know the passcode lock on the phone you can remove it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. If you use the last computer the phone was synced to you can restore the data that was on the phone; if you don't have access to that computer or it was never synced all of the data will be erased.
If Find my iPhone was enabled on the phone then the phone is tied to a specific Apple ID and password. You will need to know those to restore the phone.

How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
Thanks.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

My iMac screen does not show picture of white object i.e. refrigerators, and also area on the screen where you should type in your user name and password.

I am having problems seeing white or light colored objects (i.e. refrigerators, ranges, washers and dryers) on al websites I go too. Didn't have this problem before. Could it be my graphics card? NVDIA GeForce 9400 256MB. MAC OS Lion 10.7/5 - 21.4 inch iMac display (1920x1080) or is there a problem with my display?

Try calibrating the display.
Go to System Preferences / Displays and click Calibrate.
