I can not remember the original password for my express
I can not remember the original password for my express or extreme. Help!
You have two basic choices: 1) Perform a "soft" reset on either base station which will temporarily disable any passwords (base station or security) for 5 minutes to allow you enough time to use the AirPort Utility to change them, or 2) Access your passwords using the Keychain Access utility.

How can I find my user name password as I only remember my administrator password?I don't want to lose things or content.
If you have only one account, then your admin password is your user password. If you use another account that is not an admin account, then log into your admin account from which you can change the password on your user account.

Can't remember my Admin password on iMac 10.5.8
Hi everyone. I am running into a major issue. I cannot remember my iMac admin password (10.5.8) and I have tried everything that was suggested on this website along with multiple other sites.
When I startup my iMac it automatically logs onto my admin desktop (no password, etc.) I want to install something and I cannot make changes to my account because I can't remember my password. I have tried rebooting with command + S and whenever I enter in the commands, I either get error messages or am told the commands are not recognized. Any advice would be really appreciated. I do not have the original CDs. I am able to log onto a Standard and Guest account- just can't install anything because they're not the Admin account.
Driving myself crazy. Please help!Forgot Your Account Password

My "Remember" button doesn't work. Simple as that. The "Not Now"
Button still works, and closes the pop-bar. Remember doesn't do anything.
[Exception... "'User canceled master password entry, login not added.' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::addLogin]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 445" data: no]
Occurs when trying to input 3rd Party extension passwords.
I have no master password set, I have also read the "Password not remembered topic", and it didn't help.
Error Console yields this:
"'''Warning: The 'charCode' property of a keyup event should not be used. The value is meaningless.

Line: 0'''"Okay, I have started Firefox in Safe Mode, and the Remember button still didn't work. After checking the error console, It had the following message again:

After I Evaluated it (In the error console) it gave me a slightly different version:

I read the Troubleshooting extensions & Themes, but It didn't help.
When I tried to read "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager" I get a page that says:
"ERROR

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager
The following error was encountered:
* Connection Failed
The system returned:

Also, this error occurs in ALL 3rd Party extensions. It can't log me into E-Mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, anything. The error message has a window title of [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION] if that says anything. -
