Is there any way to bypass MacBook Pro passwords?

Hi everyone!
I have the newest model MacBook pro and me and my moms side of the family are currently fighting and my stepdad decided to take my MacBook pro from me (which I worked all summer for to buy) and threatened me that if I don't give them them the password for it that I'll never see it again, it's going to get smashed, that he'll send it to on apple and have them give him the password (lol), or send it to his uncle who works on computers to bypass the passwords.
I am moving out and I have the money to buy a new one if need be but I don't see the point in buying a new one if I have one that works perfectly... However at th same time I stand up for what I believe in and because they never asked once nicely for the computers password and have made these threats I put up the lost MacBook password through find my mac so now there's two.... Is there any way they'll be able to get through it if they send it to someone who "works" on computers.

It is very user friendly, just read each step and follow directions
At this point you should start over. Connect via cable to the computer (turn off wifi) Use iTunes to restore to factory settings and content.
Then start the set up as a new device again.
Pay close attention so you select English.
Select NO PASSCODE, it will question this, select no passcode again.
If you want a passcode, set it up afterwards and carefully enter and record it.

I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
1. Reboot
2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.

What version of the Mac OS X are you running. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac and post the version.

If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8). If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
Insert the disk then power down
HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
Get to Disk Utility
If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down. If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST. REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system. After re-installing the OS do a software update. Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install. This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk and try a re-install.
If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

Is there any way to work around administrator passwords to reset?

I have lost record of my administrator name and password for my iMac. Is there any way around it to reset it? There are multiple users and each time someone tries to log off, it requests administrator rights, forcing a hard shutdown.

I don't understand why that should be happening. I'm not seeing anything, at least on my 10.6 in SysPrefs>Security, that would account for that.

Is there any recall notices on MacBook Pro A1226 specifically for the LCD displays?

I have a MacBook Pro A1226 that the display has the color fades to b/w negative on 2/3rds of the screen but I can fix this by applying light pressure to the lower right of the screen. The last time I had a display problem it turned out the Video card had gone bad and I took it into the Genius Bar and found out the Video card had a recall on it and they fixed it for free. I wanted to check this out before buying and installing a new display if I don't have to. I don't have time to take it to the Apple store and thought I would see if anyone knew here. Any Ideas?

This is the only Repair Extenstion Program that affects the A1226:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Seeing if you qualify for this one DOES mean a trip to an Apple Store or AASP as they have a specific hardware-based test they perfrom to see if the video chipset has failed.
There is one diagnostic check you can do at home to see if the chipset is toast. Open System Profiler in Applications > Utilities and, when it opens, select "Graphics/Displays" from the left-hand "Contents" pane. That should display this in the main pane )rom my A1226):
The fourth line, "PCIe Lane Width" should read "x16" as in the example. If it says anything else (usually "x1") your Nvidea 8600M GT has likely gone walkabout. Note that a proper reading does not necessarily mean your chipset is OK. The definitive test is still in the hands to the Apple techs.

Are there any known issues for macbook pro freezing (applications mostly) because of internet fluctuations?

Hi,
I live in Philippines and our internet speed here is not very reliable. It fluctuates a lot and sometimes, it would just drop to zero and then kick back in again. I don't know why this is so - either it's our DSL or our router. Nevertheless, I just want to know if there are issues with applications freezing in macbook pro (esp safari) due to internet fluctuations, causing the color wheel spin and the my laptop freezing for few seconds or sometimes minutes. Everything would freeze, all I can move is my mouse and thant's it. Usually, if an application is not responding, it's only that application. But l noticed this time it's causing the whole system to freeze. I just recently upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Welcome to Apple....
Kumusta Ka? Ma init pa dyan?
If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.
see image below - let me know if na ayos mo na ang internet mo.

Is there any way to bypass or reset the passcode?

My child has entered a passcode into my IPod and did not for some reason retain that info....Any way to get around this??

Connect it to the computer/iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode instead to bypass it.

The short answer is no. If you don't remember the passcode, there is no way around it. You have to restore the phone.

Is there any way to bypass the

wheels in the calendar and just enter date and time from the keyboard? I find getting the wheels to stop accurately to be nearly impossible, rendering the calendar a major annoyance.

Afraid not.
Now if you have access to another calendar, for example, if you have outlook on your computer, you can make the appointment there then e-mail it to yourself and import it into the calendar app and the app will display your appointment.
Is it faster than the date wheels? Dunno. just another way to do it.
Another way would be to look for another app.

Are there any apps for the macbook pro that will teach a 4 year old how to use a mac?

I want to gove my old macbook to my daughter and get her started. does anyone know if there is an app that will walk a child through thir first mac experience and teach them how to operate it?

This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

I downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch 4th gen. Now it's saying connect to computer with iTunes, I only have a iPad I don't have a laptop is there any way to bypass this

I Downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch now when I turn it on it has a USB cord and says connect to computer and iTunes, well the only other

No. You have to connect the iPod to a computer and restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Find a friend or go to an Apple store.
