I forgott my Admin Password, how can I recover it without the instalation disk? Thank you!

Hi guys!
I changed my Admin password one of this days, and stupidly I didn´t wrote it down. I cannot install anything on my laptop, I cannot do anything that involves the password.
How can I recover, in a safe way, without instalation disk?
Thanks for your time!

Resetting or changing a password:

If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

I have Garage Band for my IPad. I would like to add a "delay" effect to my music, but I do not see that effect available. How can I add it to the software? Thank you.

Hello all,
I have Garage Band on my Ipad Mini and I notice that it does not have a "delay effect" that can be added to my music. There are other effects, but no delay, which is the most important one for me. How can I add this effect? Thank you.

There are not many effects available in GarageBand on the iPad. You can add reverb and echo to the Master Track, but that's it.
See the User Guide: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.4/index.html#chs175dc411

There is nothing you can do about but ask the seller for your money back. Without the previous owners applid password, you cannot activate and use that device - there is no way around that. iOS 7's Activation Lock needs to be disabled by the previous owner in order for you to use it - if they cannot (or willnot) produce the password to disable it, you have no options.
They can disable it remotely for you - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 but not if they do not remember their own password.

You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Set Yahoo as you home page, and set firefox to open the homepage when it starts. (Not to open previous pages).
* see [[how to set the home page]] for detailed instructions <br/> all you need to do is drag the icon whilst you are on the page you require
* see also [[options window - General panel]]

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Disk Utility, create two or three additional partitions(see below), and install or clone a different Mac OS X version to each.
Unless you previously downloaded Mavericks 10.9, it’s no longer available.

If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
You must go through the iTunes app store.
