I can not unlock Security preferences
I have suspision my computer was hacked. I want to switch "Fire Vault" on but the system doent allow me to do so.
I am pretty sure the password I am putting in is correct, but the response is negative.
What to do?
Also, is it a correct move to switch on "Fire Vault"?
I assume you mean FileVault. If so, that will encrypt your hard drive so that nobody can access the data without knowing (or being able to guess) your login password. This is the only thing that will prevent someone with physical access to your computer from being able to hack your system or access your data.
However, if your computer has already been hacked somehow, this won't fix anything. What makes you believe your computer has been hacked? It's extremely unlikely that it actually has, unless someone untrustworthy has had physical access to your computer or you have installed some kind of malware. If you can describe the symptoms you're seeing, we can give you more accurate instructions for helping with your issue.

Cannot unlock security preference
cannot unlock security preference.password does not work.my grandson did something ?
Unfortunately, you'll need to get the password from your grandson, and if he doesn't know it, then you'll have to reset it. Apple's procedure for doing so is at this link. You'll probably need to follow the instructions under the "Resetting the original administrator account password" section.
Good luck! -

How to unlock a locked ipad It is locked and now i can not unlock it, the screen is not responding to my sliding the arrow to unlock. can someone suggest what should i do?
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.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK. When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page. Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.
It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -

Can not unlock the keys in my 8900!
Hello
Top lock button does not work for me as apparently created because of corrosion
Lbenateime only solution is to lock the buttons to hold down *
After that I want to open the buttons I can not open back by clicking on * then press Send
Must specify the latest version is 5.0.0.900 device.
Have a solution? There may be other buttons can be set lock and unlock?
If so would love to hear a solution for this.
Perhaps through a file that should open with the device software?
Thank you.Hello BravaSX and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
if your lock key is no longer working, you can enable a password on your BlackBerry.
For more information on passwords, have a look at KB00588
Thanks and have a great day.

Why I can not unlock the record when close a page?
I develop a jsp page as client,the jsp application use a business componment with statefull application module.i call a database rowset's lock function in jsp page to lock a record,now,after i close the jsp page without commit and rollback,the record is not unlocked,until i restart the oc4j application server.how can i unlock the record when close the page without commit and rollback?????
Li Ping:
If you lock a row in the course of a transaction, you cannot unlock the row until the end of transaction (either rollback or commit). DBMS doesn't allow this.
Alternatively, you can try to delay locking of the row. E.g., you can try using optimistic locking. Please see the Java Doc for oracle.jbo.Transaction if you're interested in optimistic locking.
Thanks.
