Reset user password using Apple ID

I have a problem with resetting a forgotten administrator password in OS X Lion.
I know that it is possible to reset the password with the Apple ID by typing in a wrong one 3 times at the login window.
But what if I have allowed automatic login and there´s no login window at all? For example, if the system is for any reason asking me for my password later and I am typing in a wrong one 3 times, will I now have the possibility to use the Apple ID to reset it? Is there any other way to use the Apple ID to reset the password (apart from booting into recovery mode)??
Hope you are getting my point! Thanks for your help!

Problems resetting login password

I have apparently forgotten my login password for my Mac Air. When following the instructions to reset my password using my Apple ID, step 2 says "In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.", however, there is no question mark in the password field, so, my attempts to reset my password have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should do or try?

very strange. this should have worked. try doing it from single user mode then.
restart and hold command+S at the chime. you'll see a black screen with white text. at the prompt enter
/sbin/mount -uw /
next enter
passwd username
where username is the short name of the admin user. enter new password for that user when prompted for it. when done enter
reboot

Resetting the Password using wwsso_ls_private.ls_reset_password

While resetting the password using wwsso_ls_private.ls_reset_password, an exception is thrown.
Here is the exception:

Any idea why this exception is thrown?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Some more information that might be helpful:
Installing the Password Reset Feature for 3.0.7
Sometimes users forget their passwords and want to reset them. The Login Server offers a
feature that resets a user's password to a random value and then notifies the user of the new password.
This feature potentially presents a security issue, because the user is unauthenticated when requesting a password reset for a particular user account. For this reason, the password reset feature is not enabled by default and must be set up by the following steps.
Perform the following steps to install the password reset feature:
1. On the database where the Login Server is installed, log on to SQL*Plus as the Login Server schema
Example: sqlplus portal30_sso/portal30_sso
2. Enter the following command:
@ssoreset
This script creates a package called WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT in the Login Server
schema and grants execute privileges on the WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT package to PUBLIC. WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT contains a single procedure, reset_password, that resets a password to a random value.
3.After resetting the password, the reset_password procedure calls another procedure WWSSO_ALERT.password_reset_notification). The purpose of the
password_reset_notification procedure is to inform the user of the new password. However, the default implementation of the password_reset_notification
procedure, created during the installation of the Login Server, does nothing.
The specification of the WWSSO_ALERT package is:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE wwsso_alert
IS
/* General failure exception. This will be used by the UI to alert the user that the notification
Note: You must replace the WWSSO_ALERT package body with an
implementation that sends the user his or her new password, for example, through e-mail (using UTL_SMTP), or workflow. If you do not replace this package body, the password will be reset to a value that no-one will ever know, and the user will still be unable to log on.

4. Create a page that calls the reset_password procedure to allows users to
reset their passwords.
Reset Password Page Example
The following is an example of how to design a page for resetting a user's password.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE="Reset password">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Reset password</H1>
<FORM ACTION="http://server.domain[:port]/pls/dad/
schema.WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT.RESET_PASSWORD">
<B>User Name: </B>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="p_user">
<BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="p_back_url"
VALUE="http://server.domain[:port]/pls/dad/schema.home">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="p_error_url"
VALUE="http://server.domain[:port]/pls/dad/schema.error">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Reset Password">
<FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
After the password for a user name has been reset (p_back_url) to the reset_password proced ure, the page must pass at least a user name (p_user) and the URL of a page to which to return. The page may also pass the URL of a page to display if any errors are encountered (p_error_url).

Resetting login & password

I have a 2006 MacBook Pro OS X. I no longer have the startup cd. I have not used the computer since early 2010 due to a broken display. I recently hooked it up to a non apple monitor and have forgotten my login and password. How do I go about creating a new one w/ out the cd?

Wow. You are making many of us strain our brains. 10.3... Time to upgrade.
So yes, the CD should allow for password recovery. This is the days of NetInfo (how I miss it so). You are actually able to reset the password using Single User mode and a bit of terminal magic. Follow these steps if you don't have the disk.
1: Boot into Single User Mode by holding down Apple - S on startup.
2: Mount the file system so you can write to it with this command:
          mount -uw /
3: Next start the NetInfo subsystem by typing the following command:
          /sbin/SystemStarter
4: You will see a bunch of messages go by. Eventually the logging will stop but you will not get a command prompt. When the messages stop, simply hit the Return key. This will drop you out of the previous command and present you with a command prompt. The last line I think states System Started.
5: If you know the short name of the user type this command to reset the password, replacing shortname with the user's shortname:
          passwd shortname
6: You will be prompted to enter a password. The input is shadowed so type carefully.
7: You must confirm the password.
8: When finished, type reboot to reboot the system.

How to reset the password used in secured backup in itunes?

I forgot the password that I used to create a secure backup of my iPhone. Now I want to create a new backup, but it will not let me without the correct password. Is there a way for me to reset this password to do a new backup? Thanks.

Resetting login password on OS X Server 10.3

I need to reset a password on a OS X server 10.3, so I can log into it. Is it the same as when you want to do a password reset on a MacBook, Mac mini etc.. where you boot off the cd and use the password reset utility? I have no idea what the admin password is, so that is why I need to do it.

I did the restore and it cleared and reset the iPod but after it finished the same error came up. I tried this 3 times. Also it no longer shows up as a drine in My Computer.
if it's relentlessly doing that to you, it's plausible that the message is being caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. (that's consistent with the disappearance for My Computer, too.)
see the following article for troubleshooting information on that possibility:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

Adobe Software License Agreement pops up over and over when I try to use Acrobat. Even after I "Accept".

I have the same problem as Pam101. I am on OS X 10.9 and Safari 7 (actually on 2 iMacs). The one iMac is fine but the other with the same versions and settings Adobe Reader will not work. What happens is the Adobe Reader icon appears on the dock, bounces once and that's it. When trying to open a .pdf file from a website a new tab is opened on Safari, the background is black and there is a pop up message (black test on a white background) that reads: "Adobe PDF Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement." This is all very well but if Adobe Reader will not launch how on earth is it possible to accept the End User License Agreement terms? Very, very annoying, especially since it all works just fine if I launch a .pdf file from a website using Chrome. What is going on here and who do I talk to in order to fix this problem - Apple or Adobe?

When attempting to reset my password using the Install disc, I can't get into the system since I am asked for my password when I initiate the disc. What now?

I lost my MAC password and was advised to use the "MAC" install disc. With the "install disc" installed, I initiate the program and it asks for my "password" to continue. What do I do now since I am unable to offer the correct password. Sure would like to discuss this with a computer expert. I am really frustrated since I can't update programs due to the lost password?

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
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 by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume 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.
