Lion installed, forgot username and password!

I bought a macbook pro for a school in the Philippines, and they just downloaded & installed Lion, and just restarted. They're telling me they forgot their username and password and have gone through every password they used. Maybe a kid changed it before they did this update. Now what? Is there a way to get in without losing all the data? Thanks.

  • Forgot username and password for e-mail setup

    Help!
    i can't seem to have forgotten the username and password for e-mail set up. after i created the initial setup i never logged into the e-mail setup app. i can receive my e-mails now on my blackberry, but after the first set up i can't seem to access it. the username and password seem to be incorrect. how do i retrieve this info using my e-mail address alone.
    thanks ahead.

    You'll need to call your service provider and ask them reset or delete your BIS account and add it back, and then you'll simply start anew, and this time, remember your username and password.
    Good luck.

  • TS3305 I can't access my you tube favorites, forgot username and password

    I never had to sign to you tube to view my favorites, the Ipod is now asking for me to sign in because I can't pull up my favorites and I don't recall username or password used for you tube.
    Where do I reset the you tube username and password or where do I retrieve it.
    thank you,

    After going to YouTube - Reset PW and having completed that I am still getting message that Authentication Failed  The username or password you entered is incorrect.
    Question is the following is the you tube password the same for computer, Iphone and Ipod?  I just don't see on the Ipod itself where to retrieve it, been at this for hours.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Forgot username and password

    how do i recover the username and password to my wireless controller? it is a cisco 4404
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There is no actual way to recover the username/password from any WLC. There is however a workaround on that. If you have a WCS, you can use it to push a new Local Management User, username and password so that you can get access to the device. If you don't have WCS, then you will need to go through a factory defaults load, and reconfigure.

  • Forgot username and password for adding a new email

    I first click on personal email setup.Then I scroll down to existing users and click forgot password. I type in what I thought was my username, and it says that my password was successfully sent to my phone. But in my case the password was not sent to my phone.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this problem.
    Thanks

    It sounds as if you are talking about your BIS ID/password...in which case yes, you need to contact your carrier as they control that account.

  • Took my G4 out of attic to give to needy. Forgot username and password. How can I reset both?  Thanks

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Reset password with OS X disc:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1274
    Change the password without disc:
    http://gigaom.com/apple/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
    After that, create a new user account with administrative privleges and then delete the old user account.
    Make sure to copy any data from the old account that you may want, as afterwards it won't be accessible.
    Or, use the OS install discs to erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS.

  • Forgot username and password for data

    I inherited an iPad 2 from my mom, and she is no longer reachable.  I'm trying to change the data plan into my own name and CC, but I can't log in to change it.  Is there anyway to completely reset the iPad 2 data plan so that I can set up the data plan anew?  Remember there is no way for me to obtain the login information that is currently associated with the iPad 2.  It is the AT&T iPad 2, 32GB.

    You'd need to contact AT&T about that. They should be able to get you a new SIM.

  • HT4530 I just purchased an iMac and developed a user name and password.  I'm trying to install a program but can't because I forgot that information and didn't write it down.  How do I reissue a new username and password

    I just purchased an iMac and upon setting it up I initiated an username and a password.  Unfortunately I didn't write it down and now I'm trying to add software and the system won't let me because I forget that info.  How do I reissue a new usernam and password?

    Boot from your recovery partition 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 recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and 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.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
