I can't remember my user name and password how do I retrieve it

I can't remember my username and password to open my laptop

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
Clinton

    Hi
    you can try to enter with safe mode - un this mode you dont need username and password and then create new user name
    you have to enter the Xcellerator file in

    and find the part of the safe mode

  • Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac.

    Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac.  How can I reset it.  A friend needs this computer and  I need to update and remove software, etc.

    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Reset Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Reset Password.

  • 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 come firefox does not remember my user name and password for the verizon wireless website ? or verizon wireless ?

    how come when i log onto the verizon wireless web site to pay my bill, i have to sign my user name and password every time ? i am not getting the firefox pop up asking me if i want firefox to save my password for this site. so how do i get firefox to remember my log in information for my verizon wireless website ? thank you.

    This would be verizonwireless.com, correct? Their site requests that browsers should not save information for its login form.
    If you're comfortable with using bookmarklets, there's one here that should force Firefox to remember:

  • I didn't have firefox save my password when I first visited a site. Now when I go there I need to remember my user name and password. How can I get firefox the remember these now?

    I'm running version 3.6.23

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • Firefox will not remember multiple user names and passwords for same site, yet it used to do so. Any ideas?

    I belong to several publishers website, and I often have to access more than one author's account, which requires that I use their user name (usually an email address) and their password. In the past, whenever I double clicked on the space for user name, I would see all of those user names appear that I use for that site. When I clicked on the one I wanted, the stored password would appear in the password window, and I could log in. Now, it only shows me the most recent user name that I have used. I don't understand how to make it do what it used to do. Any ideas?

    Is it possible that that name is stored in a "remember me" cookie ?
