HT5787 My computer password is not working...how can I access?!?!

I have locked my computer out and can't remember the password or should I say it is not responding to the password that it should be responding to.  Any help?

Restart holding both the Command and R keys, then select Utilities, then Terminal.  In Terminal type exactly:
resetpassword
And press Return.
In the Reset Password windoe, select the hard drive if you have more than one, the user and then type a new password, twice, and Save...and accept the dialog that opens.  Reset permission if you see that, and then restart from the apple drop down on the menu bar.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Sync your computer with iTunes, this will back it up. Restore your iPhone with iTunes, it will want to back it up, so let it do it, then it will Restore your iPhone. Hopefully when done your Home Button will be working. In any regard, you can then continue your interaction with Orange.

  • On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox

    On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox.
    Firefox can't renew it's last tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

    PSE12 editor stopped working - sas elements 12 editor not working - how can i get editor to work - which has been working fine for a year nowÉ

    Thanks for the quick response ...
    I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
    I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
    Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

  • Phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix this

    phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix it

    Bummer.
    Without having the top button, you couldn't do a hard reset.
    I'd say you might be looking at backing up and restoring through iTunes unfortunatley.

  • Speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default.

    speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default. I also have no voice with Safari or any other apps including music!

    If your speaker is broken, then you may need to get a repair done.
    Are you unable to hear anything at all, or is it just one speaker in particular?
    If it is just one speaker, where's it located?

  • Updated my IOS 7 now some of my games are not work, how can I fix this problem?

    I have updated my Ipad to the IOS 7 and now some of my games/apps are not working, how can i fix this or revert back to what I had before?

    I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
    Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
    As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

    Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???

    Having the app is irrelevant.
    The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen.  If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

    You are welcome to utilize the trial for up to 30 days.   There is not a requirement that you need to purchase the software.
