Hello, My master password works on main computor, it will not work on my laptop, I found the link to reset the main computor but it doesn't work on my laptop, Is there a way to reset the master password , Then I'll go back to pen and paper. Thank you for whatever help you can provide, I'm sure someware their is a link to reset it.

You can delete the key3.db file and logins.json file and a possible signons.sqlite file or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.

    Nope!
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html  Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • Can not understand how to reset lost master password key

    I have read how to change it but can not figure to do it

    Did you try to use the chrome URL in the location bar?
    chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul
    If using the chrome url doesn't work then delete the key3.db and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

    HI,
    *If you need to reset your administrator password*
    To reset the administrator password using the Mac OS X Install disc:
    Insert the Mac OS X Install disc and restart the computer.
    When you hear the startup tone, press and hold down the C key until you see the spinning gear.
    When the Language Chooser appears, select your language and click Continue.
    In the Installer, choose Utilities > Reset Password.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to change the password.

  • Lost SUPERVISOR password - can I reset via the database?

    We have lost the password to SUPERVISOR - no other user has supervisor granted to it.
    I have read that using the BI_ODI_REPO schema I could change a user and give it Supervisor rights but I only see the SUPERVISOR user there:
    SQL> select WUSER_NAME, AUT_SUPERVISOR from SNP_USER;
    WUSER_NAME
    A
    SUPERVISOR
    1
    Can I create a user and give them the priv?
    Oracle Data Integrator is 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) used with Oracle data warehouse Database version 11g ( 11.2.0.2.0).
    On RHEL 5
    Thank you

    Thanks for responding. I did raise a call with support on this, who advised the following. I hope this might help others in the future.
    1. Choose a password <YourPassword> for User SUPERVISOR
    2. Go to the ODI_HOME>\bin directory and invoke a command prompt.
    3. Encode the password using the following OS command (for Microsoft Windows).
    agent encode <YourPassword>
    4. Connect to your ODI Master Repository with your favorite SQL editor.
    5. Run the following SQL instruction to update the PASS field :
    UPDATE SNP_USER SET PASS='<Password obtained in step 3>' WHERE WUSER_NAME ='SUPERVISOR' ;
    Commit;

  • Firefox lost master password

    Firefox 31.0 (Canonical 1.0)
    Everything seems to be running normally, then I try to log in and firefox does not auto-fill the password. The password file is empty. I am unable to reset the master password. This is the second time this happened. The first time I tried everything, including a complete uninstall before an install. The only thing that worked was to use a spare hard drive install Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64.

    Hmm.. there are a lot of ways to obtain a password, but they aren't always legal.
    Firstly check if there is a forgot password feature on the website you try to get access to, if there is they often sent a reset link for your password to the email you registered with.
    If there isn't such a link, but you did have to register with your email address try to contact the administrators or support team and ask them if there is a way to get access to your account. Email adresses nowadays aren't always trustworthy however since they can be spoofed, so it's possible they don't want to help you that way.
    I recommend using another password manager like KeePass since it's a little more secure and, although there aren't as much viruses for linux as for Windows it's always a good idea to store your passwords someplace outside your browser, if you choose to store them somewhere at all.
    If you re-used your password anywhere you might try these steps on the website(s) where you did.
    Then there's always the option of brute-forcing your password/using a dictionary attack, but you shouldn't get to this, since this is illegal. What you might try to do however, is try SOME combinations that are similar to the passwords you've used before. If you used very complicated passwords and you trusted Firefox to store it, you are probably out of luck.
    I recommend you use passphrases as your passwords, because they are pretty easy to remember as long as you use a website often enough. Also I recommend having a backup of your passwords on a password protected USB to make sure you won't lose your passwords again.

  • HELP!!! I lost master password!

    HELP, I forgot my master password and even if there's a hint (and I know the answer) I've been trying all the possible combinations of upper/lower case that I can think of but it didn't work. Is there a way to recover/change it? Thanks a lot!!

    A friend of mine said that while it is a pain in the toches, it could be resolved by disabling FileVault on every account, and then deleting a "FileVaultMaster.keychain" file, resetting the master password, and then enabling FileVault on each account again.
    That seems basically correct.
    I found several reports that there are actually two files, "FileVaultMaster.keychain" and "FileVaultMaster.cer", both in HD>Library>Keychains (not username>Library>Keychains) associated with the master passsword. After first turning off FileVault everywhere, removing these two files should enable you to re-enter a new master password. See
    section 4 of http://www.macworld.com/article/58777/2007/07/aug07workingmac.html
    and
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772&#5822772
    My concern is that resetting the Master Password would effect other apportionments of MacOS, is this the case or not?
    I highly doubt it, but I can't give you a better answer than "probably not"!
    I'd keep a backup of the two removed files, rather than deleting them altogether.

  • Lost master password - HELP

    Hi guys,
    I lost my master-password. Well, not really, because I set it to 'Chait' but now it does not work. I have tried the DVDs that came with my computer and was unable to find an option to change the master password. I would really appreciate it if you can tell me an easy way to fix this.
    Thanks in advance all's

    Hi.
    A year ago I was given an older G4 tower from work, circa 1999-2000, and the person who set up the master password was not working here anymore. I was planning to wipe the info eventually, but I wanted to remove some important files,etc. I went to the accounts section and added myself as an administrator, logged out the old administrator, logged in under my name, then removed the old administrator. Now I was the only user and was able to use the computer without having to buy system software. It saved me hours of reformating and it ran fine until a few years ago when I put a fresh OS X on it with more memory.
    Hope this helped.
    Again, I am not sure if this would work on the newer X's like Tiger. On the older it did the trick.

  • Lost Firmware Password - How to reset Firmware in G4 PowerBook

    Hi there,
    My OS is 10.5.4 but this might be a little off-topic and if so, my sincere apologies.
    Several weeks ago, somewhat stupidly, I created a firmware password for my G4 17" PowerBook using a third-party utility but have lost the paper upon which I wrote the password down. The paper is not where I thought I had put it.
    Yesterday, completely forgetting that I had a firmware password in place, I had to reformat my HDD and have now discovered that I am unable to boot the PB due to the lack of the firmware password.
    My questions are:
    1. Does anyone know of a method to reset the firmware to its default state?
    2. If not, is the firmware located on the logic board, in which case I can replace the logic board?
    3. If not, is the firmware module replaceable or do I have to replace a complete motherboard.
    4. Any other possible solutions to this problem?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Hi V.K.
    Many thanks for your feedback. However, I have tried both the OS 10 install disk and the original disk that came with the PB but still get the request for the firmware password on startup. Regretfully, no luck there.
    Anyone have any other ideas that might help? All suggestions will be gratefully received and tested.
    Cheers

    If you reset the master password then you lose all stored passwords.
