Several ways to reset your admin password ...
1 > Reset the user password in OS X Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks: Apple Support Communities
2 > Reset for OS X v10.6 or earlier > OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
3. > OS X: Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password

I changed my setting to private browsing and now firefox won't open. Any ideas?

I changed my setting to private browsing and now firefox won't open. Any ideas?

In what way did it not open? Was the Firefox icon on the task bar?
Did you get any error messages? Did the computer show Firefox
as running?

HT201240 I re- set my password and now apple won't allow updates

I have re set my password and now can't get updates to load.
Keeps asking for my password

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
With only one attempt left, it is unlikely that we will be able to be of any help. The next time it is entered wrong, your BB will wipe itself clean of all of your data. There is no way to stop it. None. You must get the password correct on the next attempt. There's no way for us to know what password you used...so you must try to see if you can get it right. Don't do what you've already tried...you already know it does not work. Sorry, but it looks like you will be restoring from your most recent backup.
Best.

What I think you are talking about is a user name and password for an Apple ID.
Apple IDs use a email address and a password you create for that email address on Apples website.
There should be a link on whatever page you are on to Create an Apple ID. Click that link.
Or just open App Store from the link on you Dock then Find the link to create an Apple ID.
Absolutely not. You can create a blank password. Yes it's stupid. Yes it's unsafe. But from helping people with their Macs, I find most do not set up a password. <facepalm>

HELP SET MY PASSWORD AND NOW IT WON'T RECOGNIZE. WILL DELETE ALL MY DATA PLZ HELP!!!

Hi there,
Unfortunately I made the very foolish error of setting up a password on my Blackberry this evening. I typed in (WHAT I THOUGHT) was an extremely easy password. After trying 9 times to type it in (I am on 10th of 10 tries!) I can't figure out what I typed in. I know what I thought I typed in, but apparently it's not working.
Any help here? Or am I severely screwed?
The password is three letters long. Does it usually automatically capitalize the first letter?
HELPP!!

I hard re-set my airport extreme, and now it won't come back. Keeps flashing amber for ever!!! help

I forgot my network password, so I attempted to hard set my aiport extreme. Now I can not get it to come back to green. Won't stop flashing amber. Have tried to re-set and un-plug several times to see if I can bring it back and no luck. Anybody have any suggesions?

Sometimes you just have to perform the reset multiple times to get it to "stick." If after multple attempts, it still does not reset properly, it may be possible that your AirPort has failed.

I try to log into my user account but I set a master password and everytime I input the password it says login failed any suggestions?

I am trying to login into my user account but I set a simple masterpassword and everytime I input the password it says login failed. Any suggestions?

Or is it because I forgot my username?

I am trying to set a master password and I receive a message that I did not type the current password. I do not ever recall setting a password so what do I do?

under security setting master password

See:
* "Resetting the master password": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password
* [[Forgot my master password]]
If using the chrome url (chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul) doesn't work then delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] and signons.sqlite and any exiting signons#.txt files from older Firefox versions in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile_Folder].

I set up Firefox Sync but didn't enter a secret phrase; now it won't let me log in.

I set up Firefox Sync but did not enter a secret phrase.
Now Sync wont allow me to log in.
How can I get in to rectify this issue and why is it even possible to do it in the 1st place?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

it didn't solve the problem for me. Nowhere i could see anything related to a secret phrase before that login screen on my mobile… What is it about? I tried different phrases (to set it up) but nothing worked out.

I set up wireless router and now it won't turn back on

I had a friend set up the router so that my Comp sent out wireless signal.
It doesn't automatically turn on and I can't find how to turn it back on.
Please help i'm new to mac and these things are putting me off having one.

Hi RE,
Thanks for the answer, I have gotten it working, it was showing as being on (internet sharing) I then turned if off and on again (internet sharing) and that seemed to do it.

I updated Firefox to version 29.0.1 and now it won't let me set a home page.

When I open Firefox, it opens to the Trovi search page, which I don't want. I tried setting the home page by opening the site that I want and dragging its tab to the Home icon, but it didn't change the home page. I also cannot change the default search engine. Selecting a different search engine in the drop-down box does nothing.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also,
'''''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

How do I manage my Firefox Sync account?
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-manage-my-firefox-sync-account

When I tried to do the update it caused an error. So I had to uninstall itunes and now it won't let me reinstall it. Keeps saying something about I do not have the authority to do it.

I got this update message when I opened my itunes. So I said yes and let it update. But then I got this error message and now I can't get it to reinstall. I am the owner of this pc and have been working with Itunes forever. But it keeps telling me that I do not have the right authority to install itunes. This really stinks since all my music for my i-pod is on Itunes. Is there anyone out there who can help me with this?

Me too, kept saying a certain file was missing. Don't understand why a file would be missing, all I did was unintall itunes so I could reinstall it. Makes no sense to me.
