NEED HELP FORGOT MASTER PASSWORD

I FORGOT MASTER PASSWORD BUT I HAVE THE STARTP DISC 10.4.6. .. I TRIED TO HIT THE APPLE C BUT ON RESTART BUT IT DIDNT RESPOND ,,, I ALSO HIT THE APPLE S ..BUT IM NOT FAST ENOUGH TO TYPE COMMANDS... CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO REBOOT USING MY DISC .. I CAN ONLY USE MY GUEST ACCOUNT AND NOT MY MASTER .. EVERYTHING IS BACKED UP .. BUT WHAT SHOULD I DO TO COMPLETELY RE-INSTALL ?

Insert the Mac OS X install disk. Then select Restart and hold down the "c" key. You don't have to be really fast, you have plenty of time. But keep the "c" key held down until you get the Apple screen and the "spinning gear" progress indicator. See this for complete instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Make sure you're using the disk that came with your Mac, or a later retail copy.
Regards.
BTW, a couple of "housekeeping" items:
1) It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .
2) This forum is for the minitower Mac Pro. If you have a MacBook Pro, the forums for that are here:

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

HT204088 I need help with my password I forgot the alternative email and securtity question answers

I have an itunes account and my children keep charging my credit card . I need to change my password but......
I don't remember the alternative email address used and don't remember the security question answers.

First off, all caps is considered shouting. Bad idea.
As for your actual question -- a bit more information is required. Do you need to change the password for your user account? Your user account is what you login to when you turn on your computer. It might be setup so you don't have to enter your username and password when you boot up. It is set this way if you can turn it on, and when it's done starting, you see a desktop and dock and can use your programs. On the other hand, you might have to enter your username (either by typing or clicking on your icon) and then your password. After doing that you will be at the desktop.
If you can't get to the desktop be, it means you aren't typing the password correctly. Passwords are case sensitive -- perhaps you just need to turn caps-lock off -- e.g., "PASSWORD" is not the same as "password" and if your password is set to something like the latter, typing the former will always fail. If you don't know the password, you can reset it by booting from the system install discs (put in system disc, hold down "c" while turning on the computer, ignore the open popup regarding installation, from the menu, choose the option for resetting the password, choose the user you wish to reset, and then enter a new password).
On the other hand, if you get to your desktop and can use programs, the above is not your problem. Instead, you are having a problem loging into your mail account because you don't know your password. In that case, your only option is to contact the mail service provider and ask for your password. That issue has nothing to do with your operating system.

Hey everyone :) I need help resting my password secuirty questions

Hey everyone okay so its getting a little bit frusturating because this is the second time now that i've had to rest my password secuirty questions, but i guess i have no one to blame but my self ugh.

Please i really wanna buy song grrrr help

You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Newbie needs help comprehending CSS Password Manager functions

Hello All:
I own a TP W500 4062-27U running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer is trouble-free.
I am seeking a solution to the following need: An application that will securely remember my passwords for various websites, etc. and enable me to log in using the fingerprint reader or similar.
I am aware that Lenovo provides both Fingerprint Reader software and Client Security Solution software, but I don't know whether or not either one (or both) of these applications will provide the functionality I am seeking. I have spent a fair bit of time looking around the Lenovo website, but cannot find a document that describes (in a general, overview manner) the functionality that CSS provides.
I don't need to log into VPNs, or company networks, or anything really fancy like that - I just need something that will enable me to log into about 20 different websites, using a different password for each website. Right now, I'm generally using the same password for every website (that way, I can remember what it is), and as I think you will agree, that is probably not a very good practice so far as security is concerned.
If anyone could point me towards a document that explains how I can get CSS to do what I want it to do, I would be very grateful. If CSS does not have the functionality I am seeking, I would very much appreciate a recommendation of software - possibly non-Lenovo - that does provide the functionality I am seeking.
Thanks very much for your assistance.
Michael

Hi PanEuropean2,
Welcome to Lenovo Forum!
In regard to your question, Client Security Solution (CSS) should be the right fit for you.
I have a T410 with Win 7, and have several passwords to remember which is really killing me. However, by using CSS, Fingerprint software and Password Manager, I need to enter all the passwords only once when access a website or a tool, and let it saved in CSS.
The next time i turn on the machine and open up a website which needs user ID and password, I just need to swipe the fingerprint that I've enrolled, then viola!
Just take note that after the first swipe of fingerprint, tools or website that are to be accessed later will automatically show the password in the box directly without having to swipe fingerprint again. You just need to click to log in. I"m not sure if this is the experience you're looking for, however, no harm to give it a try.
Here's the user guide for CSS. It has
Client Security Solution components
Client Security Solution installation considerations

Hope this helps
Cheers,

Need help with Laptop decision

I am sorry about the length of this post, but I really need help. I am trying to buy a laptop and what should be a really exciting prospect (buying my first laptop) is turning into a nightmare that just about had me in tears over the weekend.
My budget is not big - 600 absolute max, but would prefer to spend a bit less than this.
I do mainly office work (Word, Excel, Databases and PowerPoint) and also some Photoshop work. I also play a strategy game called Caesar 3. I very much want to load my copy of XP on the machine, either replacing Vista or as a partition.
Looking through the models available in my price range and looking up the benchmarks I have found the following:
Most have processors like the Intel T5250 or T5450 or the AMD TL 58, which are all benchmarked as ok, but not great. A few have the AMD TL 60, which is a bit better and one or two have the Intel T7200 which is even better.
On the bulk of the machines the graphics cards are either the ATI Radeon Xpress X1200 or the Intel GMA X3100. Both of these are benchmarked as not great and the review says that they cannot handle strategy games. A few of the models have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 or HD 2400XT and one or two have the HD 2600.
The problem is that the models that have the better processor have the lower rated graphics card and those that have both don't have XP drivers, as far as I can see.
Don't mind a 15.4'' screen (although the 17.1'' would be very nice to have) and would like a reasonably big hard drive (160 +). I will be getting 2GB of RAM.
I am at my wits end. I don't want to buy a computer that will end up taking a minute or more to refresh a screen when you have more than two things open, or that you have to keep rebooting to get it to work. I want to be able to play my one and only game (Caesar III) which is a strategy game and I want to be able to work in Photoshop and perhaps have one or two other things open at the same time, like a website perhaps.
Please help me, anyone. Am I asking for the impossible? I can't get hold of an email address for Toshiba to try to get clarity from them on the issue of drivers and whether they will be made available in the future.
Then there is of course the retailer issue as each retailer only stocks a limited number of models and one has to choose between those.
I hope someone can help me!!

Hi
The problem is that you want to buy an all-round notebook but dont want to spend much money.
Additionally you want to change the OS to XP and need the XP drivers.
Well this is very hard decision buddy ;)
A notebook for gaming equipped with the power full graphic card cost a little bit more as 600
So you have to take a decision; Do you want to buy an gaming notebook and spend more as 600 or you will take an notebook which is great for a common usage like DVD watching, working with Office software, etc
The Cesar game is not known to me but I presume it doesnt need a high performance graphic card and it should run on a normal notebook too.
I think a Satellite a200 is not bad choice for you because some A200 notebooks were delivered with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor and a NVIDIA GeForce graphic card.
And very important is that all XP drivers were already released ;)

Need help in reseting password

Hi all,
my problem is simple, I forgot my password and the secret question.
could create another account, but I want to reset that one.
all the help procedures, include the use of the secret question witch, I can't follow.
so is there something i can do?
thanks in advance.

so should I erase de account and register again?
That's what I've read...erase the account and then re-create it again using the same email address and other credentials. Hopefully it works...I can't guarantee anything as I've not actually had to try it myself.
Good luck!

Need help with laptops!!!

I am starting college in about 3 months and I need help picking out a laptop. Im not very tech smart with this stuff just want a fast reliable laptop I can bring to class.

backup plan (ie external drives)
malware protection
does a student need to print? consider a wireless printer if you want to be mobile around the house. If you print a lot, skip the inkjet and look for a wireless laser to save on ink costs.
what about software like MS-Office? Consider open source software like LibreOffice.

I need help changing my password on my laptop windows vista hp

I have been gone for over three years and now that I have returned I cannot remember my password to my laptop computer. It is an windows vista hp. Is there anyone who can help me?

Two options I can think of.

2- Download PC LoginNow. Click the .exe file to extract the ISO file and use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a cd. Boot the laptop with the cd to clear password.Download and Guides HERE

Need Help uprading laptop.

Well I currently have a HP G50 104NR laptop and I am starting to notice its limits. I am looking for a reasonably priced upgrade and
am looking for recommendations. Here are my laptops current specs from HP's website.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01607613&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US...
Keep in mind this is a family laptop so there are several users and I would like to play games on it like cod4.

I hate to say it but the only upgrade you will be able really do is a memory upgrade and that will not help you play COD4 with that Intel 4500 Graphics chip.
If you want to play COD4 then you will need to buy a laptop that is geared towards gaming.
