My parents have forgot they admin password
my parents did set on parent control but they have forgot the password and my password and username will not work to get this deleted, help me!!!!!!
Your story is similar to mine. I was billed EIGHTEEN TIMES for a twenty-dollar subscription and I disputed seventeen, but my account was blocked. Skype has made me jump through the same hoops as you, filling in forms over and over again. If you e-mail Skype, the customer support e-mail system spits out an "automated reply" but I seriously doubt that they even read the e-mails they receive because I never hear from them again. I have wasted hours and hours and hours trying to fix this issue which is not my fault so there is no reason why I have to do the legwork. If they had any decency they would simply waive the $20 charge to compensate for an infinitesimal amount of the grief this has caused me. The customer service representatives assure, guarantee, promise, that they will take care of the problem but don't. I don't want to open a new account because I don't want to lose the money I have tied up in other subscriptions that are also blocked, which is not right or ethical.

Forgot my Admin Password to my HP Pavillion Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop
Hello,
Need help I forgot my admin password. I can login to other login but not do not have another admin acct. I need to update my pc but cannot. I do not have the original cd NOR do I want to do a system recovery to take it back to factory default settings because of important documents & tons of pics & videos saved.
Someone once posted to try the following steps to remove the password -> Restart your PC, and hold the F8 keyboard button and as you enter the Windows® Boot Menu you will see some different choices, choose Safe Mode with Networking. Now Windows® will start in Safe Mode. Select the default Administrator account from the login, the password can be blank. If you are lucky and passed the login, then you should be able to edit your original account. [[NOTE - I tried this & it did not work.]]
I had read somewhere just cant find it now that Microsoft had a program to safely remove an amdin password. Is this correct? Does HP or Microsoft have a way without loosing data? Are there any third party programs that anyone can recommend that can safely remove the password that I can use that will not reset my pc back to factory?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you,
MissieyUnfortunately I am not local. I live in Europe.
Contact the Geek squad and let them know what the problem is.
Tell them that there are important documents on your notebook that you cannot lose.
That would mean asking them if they can guarantee that you won't lose your documents.
Ask them if they have access to a utility that will reset the password for you without requiring a reinstallation of the operating system. If they don't have a clue when you ask about MSDaRT's Locksmith utility, then find another shop. Many cities have independent technicians who can do this for you.

PLEASE HELP Forgot my admin password for os x Yosemite
hello every one i really need help. i forgot my admin password and i really need the stuff which is inside can anyone please help??? i already checked online but i did not get what i need cuz of this photo i did cheek the box of resting my password with an apple id.
Boot from the Recovery Partition and reset your password from there.
Here’s how:
1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you either see an Apple Logo with a loading bar or a spinning gear.
After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
3/ Find the menu called “utilities” in the top left corner of your computer’s display. It’s in between the menus “edit” and “window” Don’t be confused with the menu called “os x utilities”
Choose Terminal. A somewhat old-fashioned looking window will pop up, waiting for a text command from you. This is the Terminal.
After the # type: resetpassword and press return. Note that there is no space between ‘reset’ and ‘password’
What you’ll see next is an rectangular window that gives you the option to reset passwords. Set a new password for all the users that you need.
We’re ready to reboot your Mac now. Click on the Apple Menu and choose “startup disk” Choose to boot from “Macintosh HD” Please let us know if this solved your issue, or if the steps above did not work, or could not be performed for some reason. -
My Macbook is running on OS 10.5.8. However, I forgot my admin password. I would like to find out if I can use OS 10.6 CD to reset the admin password while upgrading OS? Also, will all my files be still present after upgrade??
1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you? -

After years having my mAc opened I forgot my Admin password.
I do have access to everything desk top , programs everything..except when i need to download a upgrade it ask for my admin password..
I dont have a restart disk..helpYou can reset your password with your restore disk. Boot off the disc by holding "C" on startup or "option" to select if you have it on a USB drive. Once you are in the Install software, do NOT reinstall the system, but answer the password questions you set up previously under "Reset Password".

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

God BlessBoot up in single user mode, by holding cmd s after the startup chime, if done properly you should see a command line, in single user mode type in
fsck -fy Return
Mount -uw / Return
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Return
Make sure to type it in exactally as I did
When finished type in reboot and your computer will restart
If done correctly when starting up the Mac should show the welcome video and ask you to set up as a new pc
Do everything it asks you to, but when you get to the migration page press "do not transfer now"

HT1752 I have forgotten my admin password and need to create another user
I have forgotten my admin password and need to create another user. Have no disks to boot from!!
You need an installer disc in order to reset an admin password. I don't know if the following will work on your system, but give it a try:
You can also reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what their directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start up the computer while holding down Cmd-S. It should boot into a command line. (If it doesn't, you may need to reset the firmware password, which is detailed elsewhere.)
Type these exact lines:
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. (You did write it down, didn't you?) Type "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was - rather prosaically - called "admin", you'd type "passwd admin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "admin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and type a new password.
Now, type:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.
