I want to dump the password control

I am brand new to iMac, I detest the password control, I am the only user of the iMac, how can I remove the password control?

Not going to happen. The previous advice just allows logging in, using the username and password, w/o your intervention. Installing software and other activities will require you to enter an admin's credentials. That's the Mac OS X way. Since you're new, see these:

  • Upgrading to latest iOS enabled the password control on my iPad, except I never set a password.

    Upgrading to latest iOS enabled the password control on my iPad, except I never set a password. I tried 0000, which worked when this happened on my kid's iPad, but it didn't work. Am I totally locked out?

    I know about the instructions to wipe my iPad and restore it. Just REALLY wanted to avoid doing it.
    What I don't understand is WHY the passcode function was enabled when I NEVER set a passcode. I had passcode functionality TURNED OFF on both our iPads. When I set the iOS update to run (then went to bed) it should have SKIPPED setting a passcode during the update... since I never typed one in.
    Like I said, using 0000 opened my kid's iPad after the iOS update. (thankfully!) But then I tried it on mine it got locked out.
    Can't figure why the iOS update turned it on and has now set some random password that I could never know.

  • I don't want iCloud. How do I get iTunes to stop popping up the panel that asks me if I want to download the iCloud Control Panel? I'm using iTunes 11 on Windows Vista.

    I don't want iCloud. How do I get iTunes to stop popping up the panel that asks me if I want to download the iCloud Control Panel? I'm using iTunes 11 on Windows Vista.

    Why do you believe iTunes is causing this to occur?
    What is the exact wording of the message?
    I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 and never gotten that message.

  • I want to enter the password for a secure WIFI network on several iphones.  If I do this, can the end users somehow extract the ip address and password for the wifi network from the iphone and use it from a pc (at home, for example)?

    I want to enter the password for a secured wifi network on several iphones.  If I do this, is it possible for the end users to somehow extract the ip address and password information and use it from a pc/laptop/other mobile device.  For security reasons, I don't want them to be able to to this.
    Please advise,
    Thanks.

    If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol.  If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
    To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it.  Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

    No. It's a safety feature. Select the appropriate response and the next time you visit, you won't be prompted.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't do that, you'll need to change the password on your Wi-Fi and then change the settings on the Apple TV to log into your network again using the new password.

    Sorry, but if you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
    Make sure that the password you use is one that you'll remember. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

  • IPhone 5, backup on computer is password protected, forgot password, still have phone, just want to reset the password so i can create a new backup!

    I have an iPhone 5.
    At some point, I backed it up to my PC, with a password.
    I have forgotten the password.
    I still have the phone.
    I can no longer back it up to the PC.
    I want to wipe the backup, password, etc, and start again.
    Surely that can't be impossible!

    Thanks both - do you think it's worth giving this a shot?

    Once iTunes is set to encrypt iPhone backups, switching this feature off requires the password. What if the password is forgotten or unknown? You can still reset iTunes to make a fresh backup without encryption. Follow these steps to uncheck Encrypt iPhone backup:
    Perform these steps at your own risk!
    1. Delete any Mail Exchange accounts on the iPhone.
    2. Delete old encrypted backups from iTunes.
    3. Use iExplorer or ssh to delete the file /private/var/Keychains/Keychain-2.db from the iOS filesystem. Note: this step will clear stored passwords from your device.
    4. Restart the iPhone.
    5. Connect the iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
    6. Uncheck the box next to Encrypt iPhone backup.
    7. If prompted for a password, enter the passcode currently set on your iPhone.
    When successful, iTunes should begin backing up the iPhone to an unencrypted backup. If this does not happen, start a new unencrypted backup manually.

  • I just bought a new iMAC. I want to change the password, but the system is not accepting any old passwords.  How do I reset this, so that I can set a password?

    I just bought a new iMAC.  I want to set a password.  But, the system seems to think I already have one set, and I don't know what it is.  How do I reset this feature, so that I can set a password, without knowing the current password?

    Have you yet, during setting up the new iMac, transferred old data and settings from an external hard drive or another computer?  If so, then your computer obtained its current set Password from that tranfer, so you would have to determine what that Password was in the old system.  If you have Not transferred any information that way, then the installation and/or setup seem to have corrupted somehow since it hasn't yet received a new system Password selection from you. 
    At this point, if you can, you can reboot while holding down the Command - R keys to boot into the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition.  There you can select to "Reinstall Mountain Lion from the Internet".  This will overwrite your current installation and any problems that have occured and give you a fresh install that hopefullywill allow you to set up without problems.

    you can change the password of <sid>adm user without any issues
    just check the SAP services through services.msc and check with what user it is maintained.It must be with SAPserviceSID,if it is with <sid>adm then you will need to change the password here
    else there must be no impact
