HT2900 Forgot user & password for Safari parental controls. Is there a bypass?

We set up parental control on Safari but forgot the username and password needed to change or reset the parental control settings.  Is there a bypass in order to turn the controls off?

Any user with Admin access to the Mac should be able to use their account name and password to unlock the Accounts Preferences and access parental controls.

  • Forgot User Password for Satellite P100-313

    Hi@all,
    i forgot the user password for Satellite P100-313. Can i remove the password without professional help. Please help me.
    bye

    Hi Megaton,
    Assuming you have not set an Administrator password in Windows XP, you can change your personal user password (even if it is the only one that appears when you normally start Windows) as follows:
    Start your laptop in Safe Mode by pressing F8 after the Toshiba screen, and choosing Start In Safe Mode from the menu.
    When Windows starts and shows the logon screen, there should be an extra account called Administrator. Unless you have previously set a password for this "hidden" account, there will be no password and you should be able to log in just by choosing this account and pressing Enter.
    Once in, go to Control Panel and open User Accounts. Now choose the account that you forgot the password to, and a new window will open with various options including Change Password. Choose yourself a new password and restart the computer normally.
    When Windows restarts, you should notice that the Administration account is once again not shown, however, you should be able to log in to your personal account using your new password.
    I hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

  • Error while reading access data (URL, user, password) for the Adapter Engin

    Hi all,
    I encountered a red flag in sxmb_moni and when I click on the flag, I get the following message:
    Error while reading access data (URL, user, password) for the Adapter Engine
    Is there any way I can resolve this? thanks all
    Regards,
    IX

    Possible reason is Adapter engine is not registered on SLD. Check in SLD.
    You can also try restarting J2EE adapter engine and update SLD entries specific to XI domain.
    Lauch Visual admin go to Server > services > SAP AF CPA Cache
    Enter the appropriate values for:
    SLD.selfregistration.hostname (Use fully qualified hostname)
    SLD.selfregistration.httpPort
    SLD.selfregistration.httpsPort
    Finally, if all the above seem to be correct check the userID / pwd for user ID : PI*.

  • Safari Parental Controls

    Hey Folks - could use some help here... I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem.
    I've created a restricted account for my son and understand I must login as him to create bookmarks in his safari browser to websites that I will allow him to visit.
    The problem is when I open the browser & try to add a site by entering my admin username & password - nothing happens. Also, when I try to open his bookmarks & type in my admin name & password - it doens't do a thing... but if I hit cancel instead of trying to login - it opens the bookmarks window but I still can't add sites.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Mike
    P.S. I've tried creating a new account & also got rid of all safari preferences & settings.

    Mike,
    This is, in my opinion, quite a significant problem with Safari 4 on Mac OS X 10.4.
    I handle IT for a school over here in Scotland. The problem with Safari Parental Controls appeared yesterday (Friday). I spent the whole day working on it with no result at all. However, i have some facts about it that i have passed on to Apple for further investigation.
    The issue affects both PPC and Intel versions of 10.4.11. it does NOT affect 10.5.7.
    I confirmed my results on 10 different Macs. Test the following for me and post results...
    1. Create a new user on your Mac. Make that user a Managed one.
    2. Enable the Safari Parental Controls.
    3. Log in to the account you have just created.
    4. Try to visit a site that is not in the bookmarks.
    5. Instead of typing in Admin credentials, when prompted, simply click Cancel.
    What happens?
    6. Now, try it again with proper admin credentials entered and click on OK
    What happens?
    Thanks for your help.

  • I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago. Is there any possibility to reset it?

    Hi, I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago.
    Is there any possibility to reset it? I guess (not sure) the operating system is os x.

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

  • Safari parental controls: disable 'delete browsing history'

    Hey I am interested in accountability for web browsing on the iPad. There are a handful of apps available that have built in accountability and web history reporting, however they are all limited in usefulness because they are designed with practicality as a secondary concern. Most are unstable and lack useful features included in safari. However if apple allowed for a parental control that prevented the deleting of browsing history then it would be unnecessary to run a separate app with limited functionality. I can see this as a feature that many groups would be interested in. I wonder if apple would consider it? What do you think

    my kids at age 7 are not allowed on the internet and I have to make a safe website list on my wifi router.
    I know if they bring it to a friends house then its will be wide open and they are not allowed to do so yet.
    I hope a kids safe app will be made or some parental controls to be made available soon

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    Unlocking iPod
    You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
    * Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
    * Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
    If you can't unlock iPod using either of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.
    If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:
    1. Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
    2. Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
    3. Open iTunes and synchronize.

  • I forgot my password for the admin on my macbook

    I forgot my password for the admin on my macbook. Unfortunately I can't reset it with my apple-ID either. I want to keep my account since I need the things that's saved there. Anyone who can help me?

    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
    With 10.8 or 10.9 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
    of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

  • I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

    I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

    The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

  • Can I use my Time Capsule for wifi parental control?

    Can I use my Time Capsule for WiFi parental control.  The objective first is to use a time clock to control internet access (completely on or off).  Second objective is to use the Time Capsule which is also the WiFi router for more selective internet control?  Anyone out there have any tips on making this work?  We have Time Warner cable feeding the house internet, which is then corrected to the 2Tb Time Capsule which also provides our WiFi.  Any information including other alternatives would be most appreciated.  Surely we are not the only parents on the planet with this issue.  Thanks very much!

    how do I get the Mac addresses for each device (this won't be a problem, I demand the device, check it, and then return it).
    What wireless devices are we looking at here?
    Most devices have the AirPort ID or MAC Address or Hardware Address printed on the back or bottom of the device
    Otherwise, you can learn the correct number by process of elimination. Turn off all wireless devices except your Mac computer....if it is connecting using wireless.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Look for Wireless Clients and click on the numerical IP address that is displayed
    Another box will open
    Look for the Hardware Address. It will be displayed as xx : xx : xx : xx :xx : xx
    Write that down and note that it is your Mac.
    Now, connect another wireless device and repeat the sequence.  Click on the "other" listing that you see to find out more info about that device.  Write down the ID or Address and note what device it is. Then power it off.
    Do the same for each wireless device that you want to have limited access.
    Post back when you have all the info.
