Master Password for Mac OS X 10.4 recovery

Hello all.
The laptop I am currently using used to be owned by my sister until she got bored not knowing how to use the Apple Macintosh. She has left it for about half a year and cannot remember what the Master Password was. Now that it has fallen into my hands, I cannot install any applications which require the password. If anyone on this forum may be able to perform any assistance, I would be very greatful.
Regards, Kanis Mateo.

  • Master password for FIPS140.

    I'm reinstalling Firefox back onto my MacBook after about a year and I'm being asked to give a master password for the FIPS140, I do not remember any such password created. Can anyone help me out here. THX

    If FIPS is enabled then only removing signons.sqlite and key3.db can recover from this.<br />
    I don't know if you can remove those two files in the Firefox profile folder easily on mobile.
    If this is happening on a desktop computer then go to the Firefox profile folder and delete the signons.sqlite and key3.db files.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • I am interested in purchasing Adobe's Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for Mac and Windows (Single User Educational License) FOR STUDENTS & EDUCATORS ONLY.

         I am interested in purchasing Adobe's Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for Mac and Windows (Single User Educational License) FOR STUDENTS & EDUCATORS ONLY. I am purchasing this program for my son who attends George Washington High School: The College Academy in New York, New York. He is a sophomore and is interested in web design. I would like to know if he is eligible to use/activate the Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for Mac and Windows (Single User Educational License) FOR STUDENTS & EDUCATORS ONLY prior to my purchase.

    Peru Bob makes a good point.  I just assumed the OP understood what the System requirements | Adobe Creative Suite 6 were.

  • I have never set-up a master password for firefox. Somehow the browser to locked mode, now, and requests a master password. How can I get it to unlock?

    There is no URL line, into which anything may be entered.
    Also, I reinstalled the program as well. No change. Still defaults to a request for a password THAT I HAVE NEVER CREATED.
    Full disclosure: I reached to reconnect a cable, and pressed my chest against my keyboard, while the computer was in sleep mode, with Firefox running in the background. When I stood, the browser was locked. I've tried all passwords I know, and use. No luck. The following addy will not load, even if entered into home page.
    chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul
    Again, no url line opens, which I launch the browser, anymore. I just get the following message:
    Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device.
    Help! Thanks!

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    **If other missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

  • Unable to install CS6 master collection for mac book pro(late 2011)

    Recently, I have successfully downloaded Adobe creative suite CS6 master collection for MAC.
    However, I am unable to install it. After opening the installer nothing happens, it does not proceed further. I have tried copying the contents from MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.dmg to another folder and then open the install.app, still no progress.
    Please advice since I really need to install this.
    Screenshot below:

    Hey Vikrant thanks for the response.
    The situation is like this, I downloaded the image on my desktop pc(which is windows) and then compress & split the image using a winrar. I then transferred the files to my mac book pro and extracted the image there. Unfortunately, there was a bug in the unarchiver software that I was using on mac to extract the image.
    This bug was rectified today in a update given out by the dev.
    Now, I can install CS6 without any issues. Thanks for the repsonse once again.

  • Adobe CS6 Master Collection for Mac licensing

    I installed Adobe CS6 Master Collection for Mac, licensed it and updated it on twenty iMacs.  This a University computer lab with many users.  Sometimes Adobe software starts in trial mode as if the license key hasn't been entered.  What could be the problem?

    Hi Gutech,
    Could you please tell me how did you install Master Collection on 20 machines.
    If you have installed Master Collection on 1 Mac and created an Image of the OS and then installed it on the 20 Mac's then you may come across with this kind of issue.
    In Order to properly deploy the Master Collection please use our Deloyment Tool to create a Serialised Package and then use the same to deploy it on the 20 Mac's.
    You can find the Deployment Tools in this Link

  • Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition"

    Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition" because I updated AE to CS6 (but only AE). Even that AE CS 5.5 is still installed, it won't connetct.
    How can that be fixed?
    Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the answer: I tried different ways (after I read your suggestion) but it always changes back right away ... I can't change it.

    Maybe try associating AE project files with 5.5 instead of 6.

  • I've been using a master password for years. Today I noticed that it had been cleared. What could cause this?

    I've been using a master password for years. I also use Sync. Today I wanted to look up one of my saved passwords. When I went to do this I noticed that Firefox was no longer set to use a master password. I'm afraid that I may have been hacked, or that something else happened (recent Firefox update?) that caused the use of the master password to be disabled.
    I have not yet checked my other Synced computers to see if their master passwords have also been turned off.
    I have re-enabled the master password feature on this computer.
    On this particular computer, I've had a long-standing issue where Firefox "Help>About Firefox" always shows that I need to "Restart to Update". This means that I cannot use "Help>About Firefox" to check for and install the latest version. I need to download Firefox manually and update by running the installer.

    Hi,
    You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Active Logins''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History]. Alternatively via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''Encryption''' > '''Security Devices''', select '''Software Security Device''' and choose '''Log Out'''. You can then restart Firefox and check.
    If the problem persists you can reset Firefox and start afresh.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, changed preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please '''Copy all to clipboard''' (on the left of the reset button), and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
    For the update error, please try searching for all instances of '''updates.xml''', open the containing folder to make sure it belongs to Firefox/Mozilla (path) and delete all instances of the file along with the '''updates''' folder.

  • HT201240 i forgot my login password for mac

    I NEED TO FIND MY LOGIN PASSWORD FOR MAC CAN YOU HELP ME?

    You don't have Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier if any portion of the Mac is labelled MacBook.  
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 explains how to fix the password.  You'll need either the original discs from AppleCare if you lost them, or a newer retail installer disc.  August 28, 2009 Mac OS X 10.6 was released, and March 29, 2010 Mac OS X 10.6.3 retail was released.  So depending on the age of the MacBook you'll need one or the other retail if not the original installer discs.

  • What do you do if you've forgotten the master password for reset and you've thrown out the gift reciept? HELP??????????

    How do you reset the iPad if you've forgotten the master password and threw out the gift reciept?

    Contact the person that gave it to you.  See if they have a receipt.
    Apple doesn't use the term master password.
    There are two different locking mechanisms:  passcode, prevents access to your data,  and activation lock, prevents use of device if stolen.  You do not want the students setting the activation lock.
    If the passcode is set & forgotten , you can reload from backup or wipe ( first typed whip ) the device.
    iPhone or iPad locked from incorrect passcode.
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says Ipad is disabled.
    See how to restore from backup.  No back up on your computer, click on the triangle before "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1212
    The problem arises when someone sets the activation lock which is set by logging onto your apple id then setting the appropriate option.   DEP is the preferred preventative.  It established your organization as the owner.  The student cannot set an activation log.

  • Cannot sign on to amazon card account w/o getting a box asking me to "enter the master password for your software security device." ???

    Does not happen on other browsers

    You have probably set up Firefox with a master password because you're using "Remember Passwords for Sites" option. To change the master password or to disable this option, you can do so as follows:
    * Go to \Options\Options (using the Firefox favicon);
    * Go to Security tab;
    * Under the Passwords section make necessary changes.
    To disable the master password, uncheck "Use a Master Password".
    To change the master password, "Change Master Password" button.
    Alternatively, you may be using a security software (like I use Norton 360) and use the password management functionality with a master password which you will have to manage from that particular software or via the appropriate add-on.
    '''Edit:''' You may also find this help article on [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=managing+passwords&r=2&as=s Firefox Password Mgmt] useful.
