If you are referring the Master Password that can be set in System Preferences>Security>FileVault, then see this thread:
How to reset FileVault master password
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772
As explained there, and for obvious security reasons, a new master password created in this fashion way will not unlock any pre-existing FileVault accounts. Resetting the master password is therefore only useful after you turn off FileVault in all existing accounts. You can then turn FileVault back on after the new master password is in place.

  • How can i create a new password?

    I forgot my password, how can i create a new one?

    On Lion or Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

    I Have iPhoto on my macbook pro under a different account, how can I create/install my own iPhoto?

    The iPhoto application should be installed in the "Applications" folder and thus available for all users on your MacBook Pro.
    When you launch iPhoto from a different account hold down the ⌥-key, to be prompted where you want to create a new iPhoto library for that account. By default an iPhoto Library would be created in the "Pictures" folder of that user account.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Can I create a new 'master' from an existing 'version'?

    All,
    I've spent a few hours poking around the forums but haven't seen this question posed.
    Can I take a 'version' and turn it into a 'master'?
    I would like the ability to export masters and my 5* versions out at the same time in the .nef format. If there is a way to turn finished versions into masters, my problem is solved.
    If that isn't possible, can I export masters and versions at the same time (so that I keep masters and their versions with consecutive counters in their filenames)?
    Or, am I completely out to lunch?
    P

    I think you could take a version and turn it into a new master if you export the version to your hard drive, and then import it as a new file. I don't know of a way to convert a version to a new master within Aperture. I also don't know of a way to export a master and all it's versions at the same time - it's two separate functions in the file > export menu.
    Keep in mind when you export masters, they are exported as exactly the file format they were imported as (RAW, jpg or TIFF) except possibly the name. When exporting versions, though, you cannot export as a RAW format - the only choices are jpg, png, TIFF or PSD.

    How to change iCloud Account if the apple ID have changed email address.

    HI Ross,
    Go to Manage your Apple ID and change the current Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is only temporary. Do not change your password)
    Once you have changed it to the old ID, use your current password to proceed
    Once you have completed what you are trying to do, change your Apple ID back to the new ID

  • How can you create a button master that can be unlocked but where edits to the master will affect all buttons?

    I'm creating a course calendar (January - December) for an organization and courses are repeated several times throughout the year. I've been asked to create this as an interactive pdf rather than as an interactive Indesign document that can be viewed via a browser, so I'm unable to use multi-state objects
    Anyway, I've created button masters for such buttons such as previous page/next page, course index and search on my master pages, so that's all fine and dandy as I don't need to move these elements. The way I have set up the calendar is that you click on the course name (a button) and a popup (also a button) shows up with a course description - I want to be able to move these popups so that they are the general vicinity of the course name button and not just floating about in the centre of the calendar.
    However, because course descriptions or what is offered in the course change frequently and I am expected to keep the calendar up to date, it doesn't seem efficient to have to manually change every description for a course popup that shows up several times throughout the year or even several times on a month. The issue is that even if I create the popups on the master page, as soon as I unlock them on my month pages and move them to where I want them to be...they'll no longer be affected by changes to the master.
    Is there some sort of function like in html/CSS where you can assign a class to a button or something? Or it is something that Indesign isn't capable of and I will just have to do it manually and try to be careful not to miss any courses when they are updated?
    Any help is appreciated!

    While you could create a different screen for each, a better way to do this is via some form of database.  The buttons cause functions to be executed and the functions utilize data resources based on the selections that are established.
    So if you pick a particular character, a variable is a assigned a value that indicates that.  That variable is then utilized to extract the data associated with the character and to build the screen elements related to the options for that character.

    I recently changed my username n password. Now that I'm trying to update my apps, it still default at my old username. How can I change it to new username?

    Sorry, you can't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another Apple ID. You will have to update them using the ID used to originally obtain them.
