I want to delete my admin user from this laptop as it has been sold. how do I do this?

I have sold my laptop and want to delete my information from it. How do I go about doing this?

I would reload the OS from install disks, and pass on thse install disks (as is required anyway) as Leopard disks are harder to come by these days.
That way you can reformat with zero-out option (removes anything you do not want seen by others) and "starts fresh".  If you shutdown the system right before the final restart of the install process, it will be ready for them to make their onw account with their own name right in front of them.

  • InitialContext.unbind() deleted the admin user for LDAP server...

    Hi,
    I am doing a connection to a LDAP server from Java code. Everything was fine for several days. But today I noticed that I don't execute an unbind operation and decided to put the necessary code. So I used InitialContext.unbind(). The result was that on the first execution of my program everything was OK. But on the second execution I was not able to bind to the server at all with the constructor of InitialLdapContext class even after restarting the machine from which I execute the Java code and the machine with the server. So it went that the admin user I was using for bind and unbind credentials was deleted. I am sure that the unbind() method is causing the problem because I actually broke the two LDAPs that I have (testing referrals...).
    Now I use close() method instead of the unbind() method and everything is OK but I wonder how is this possible and why is it not documented?

    I can't imagine documenting something like "This method will delete the admin user from your server". If that's the case then it's a bug, not something to be documented. Report it to whoever wrote your Java implementation. If that's Sun, then here:
    http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/login.do
    You might also want to look into your LDAP server and see if it's a known bug there.

  • I want to delete a single contact from history.

    Hi!! I want to delete a single contact from history. I have read that few users have asked similar questions in the past as well and also I have found some of them answering or rather questioning why one will like to delete a single log from the history. ???
    The answer is simple. For me, I may not want my friends/parents or any other know whom I was talking with. This feature is very much there in Nokia and it is very usefull as well.
    So in case, any body find the solution, please reply.

    In the present iOS, it's all or nothing. You can suggest Apple add the ability to edit the call history log here:

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

  • Removing admin user from planning application

    Hi,
    i have a small question that possibly u can answer easily.
    in workflow process when users click "change status", at promote and approve "admin" user comes up with in combo-box.
    we are sharing shared services with another project team so i dont wanna show "admin" to my users in that list cos i have "plnadmin" as application owner.
    by the way "admin" was deprovisioned from planning applications on HSS such that he cannot log-in to planning application. (user doesnot exists for this application message.)
    but he still exists in workflow process combo-boxes and "Administration->Application Settings->Assign application Owner" combo-box.
    how can i remove him ?
    thx,
    Version: 11.1.1.2

    Hi,
    In theory it should remove the admin user if they have been deprovisioned and the application owner assigned to another user. I did a quick check on 11.1.1.3 and it removed the admin user from the workflow and tables.
    Maybe it has not removed the user because a workflow was already in progress even though it worked for me.
    There are probably a number of ways to try and removing the user e.g. try restart planning service and log into the application to see if it syncs up with shared services (it should do if the property SYNC_USER_ON_LOGON is set to true, which is default for planning)
    Try stopping the workflow process and run a refresh, or go to access permissions for a member and click migrate identities to see if it clears the table.
    Final stage would be to manually remove from the repository tables.
    (sorry if I have not covered all areas, I sure somebody will give you different ideas or repeat what I say)
    Cheers

    I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
    These file extenssions are listed as
    olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
    Oh the ...olk14_message's.  Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder.  Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook.  They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
    You can delete them however using Outlook itself.  In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left.  It will show you the messages in that mailbox.  You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox.  The click the Edit menu and select Delete.  You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections.  Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
    The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes.  When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
    Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar.   Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages.  So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox.  And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
    So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
    Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
    Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too.  It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
    So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox.  But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there.  And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.
