I don't know my username and password

because i wasn't the one that installed the OSX.. please help

Stick the OS X Snow Leopard install disk into the computer and boot the computer holding c key down.
Second screen in under the Utilities menu, is a Password reset.
If your on OS X Lion, reboot the computer holding the command and r keys to boot the Lion Recovery Partition, there will be a option to reset the password there.

    This is a user forum. You aren't talking to Apple here.
    Return your iPhone for a refund. There is no way to remove the Activation Lock. Apple won't get involved.

  • Don't know admin username or password how reset

    don't know admin username or password how reset?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • Can't get FaceTime to work...any suggestions...it just keeps me in this loop of asking to sign in, then verifying, then asking to sign in again. I know the username and password are correct.

    Can't get face time to work. Know the username and password are right. Asks me to sign in...verifying... And then goes back to sign in...

    One thing that worked for me:
    launched Message app which uses the same backend as Facetime. If it launches, click on the video. May display a Error Dialog. Call AppleCare and give them the number displayed. This will give them the needed info to check your AppleID account for the messaging servers
    For some reason FaceTime did not display this error, yet once I gave the Support person the number it was fixed in just a minute.
    YMMV

    If this is about Firefox Sync then you also need the sync key.
    Without the sync key it is impossible to decrypt the data that is stored on the sync server.
    You will have to change the password of your sync account as soon as possible.

    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information
    Make sure that you do not replace the data on the sync server with the data on your current computer.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-my-firefox-sync-account
    You can go to "Tools > Options > Sync" to select what to sync.
    * Bookmarks - Passwords - Preferences - History - Tabs (tabs expire after a week) - Add-ons (Firefox 11+)
    You can click the "Manage Account" button and choose Reset Sync to select what to sync.

  • Apple ID is *disabled for security reasons*, I know the username and password, but don't know the Security Questions and Recovery Email? Help!

    I used to have the @apple.com apple ID. Everything was working fine, but then one day I entered my password and it was incorrect. I tried to reset it but nothing was working. Then I tried to "forgot my Apple ID" on iForgot and found that it was automatically changed to @mac.com. I entered my Apple ID and Password but then it gave me "your Apple ID is locked for security reasons". I tried resetting my password but I don't think I had put any recovery email and apparently I entered a wrong Date of Birth.
    What should I do to re-access my Apple ID?
    Many thanks!

    Thank you randers4,
    I just got off the phone with apple.
    I have to call 800-MY-APPLE and try to verify my Apple ID using my old password and a serial number from a device on which I used my Apple ID. Oh and @apple.com never existed, I have no idea how it got on my phone :|
    Hope it works

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you use the Forgot Password link it sends a message to your device telling you what the password is. If you're not getting that message then you can contact your carrier and they can tell you your username and also reset your password.
    Good luck

  • I'm using Gmail on Firefox 6. I don't want my username and password automatically filled in. I don't see a tools menu. There's just one tiny "firefox" tab and no tools under it. How do I get rid of my username and password? NO autofill.

    Nobody has asked this question in the same way it seems.

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are logged on automatically to websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

    *Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    *Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • What is the username and password for the web page on the hp deskjet 2540 printer?

    I need to administer my Deskjet 2540 through my web browser, but do not know the username and password. When it says log in it says 'The server http://[ip adress] requires a pasword. The server says: admin.' I have tryed to use admin as the usermane and no password but it does not work. Is there a way to reset the pasword?
    Thanks

    Hello there @Aokvilla , Welcome to the Forums!
    For the issue you are having, I would recommend trying a different web browser for starters, and if that doesn't help, follow the instructions below from another post with a resolved solution. If those steps don't help, the problem could be your router.
