Need to override administrator username

I have been trying to assert parental controls on iTunes; however, when i type in the "username" and "password" to enable the lock, iTunes responds with "username is incorrect" (or something like that).  How do we fix this?  I tried going to my startup then user accounts to change my account to an administrator (as suggested by someone on the blog page), but I wasn't directed to this option. AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!
Thanks!

Buying used Macs can be tricky and what seems like a bargain can really turn in to a  problem. I noticed you are running 10.7.3 (Lion), if the machine originally shipped with Snow Leopard or earlier you have an illegal license of Lion. The seller should have provided all the media including any applications he purchased. If he did not you should contact the seller and request the media otherwise you have stollen applications. In addition Lion (per the SLA) cannot be transferred because it is tied to the original ower's AppleID. However if you have a mid 2011 iMac that originally shipped with Lion then you are fine.
However if all you want to do is change the password then please read:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274  will show you how.

  • How do I disable administrator username and password entry to access ix4-300d

    With the recent version 4.1.102.29716 update, I am now FORCED to enter a username and password to get into my "home based" ix4-300d NAS.  This has already been a MAJOR pain for my nedia server setup, in that I am no longer able to create a network drive to one of several NAS folders on to my home network.
    My question therefore is, how do I DISABLE the function of having to enter an administrator username and password to gain entry into my ix4-300d?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    No hazzle, just do it.
    This is only for admin purposes. You are still able to place your media into individual user shares or put it in the public area where they will be accessible for everyone, even if you set 'security' on.

  • Help! Need to override Page Down/Page Up in JList

    Help! Need to override Page Down/Page Up in JList...
    PgUp PgDn selects the top or bottom item in a Jlist when JList is in focus. I want PgUp and PgDn to do something different (which it does), but it still selects top or bottom items. How do I COMPLETELY remove all key listeners in the JList?
    Oliver

    Sounds like you are just adding a key listener to the list and just
    listening for PAGE_UP/PAGE_DOWN. Which is why the original behavior is
    still there: both your listener and the list's own handler are being
    invoked.
    What you might want to do instead is to either set your own action
    for PAGE_UP/PAGE_DOWN in the list's input map, and then set that action
    to your own in the list's action map, or try setting the scrollUp and
    scrollDown actions to your own action in the list's action map. Note
    that shift PAGE_UP/PAGE_DOWN are also bound, by the way.

    Administrator ID
    This field specifies the administrator account user ID that you use for secure shell access to the CLI, for logging into Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration and for logging into theDisaster Recovery System.
    No, you cannot change the entry after installation.
    Note   
    After installation, you can create additional administrator accounts, but you cannot change the original administrator account user ID.
    Basically, you cannot change the OS/platform administrator ID after install. You can change the password (as you have already found).

  • Default Administrator Username & Password for Weblogic Server Admin Console

    I created a new domain using the configuration wizard on windows (using config.cmd).
    While configuring the domain, I didnt check any of the check boxes for configuring Admin Server, Managed servers, clusters...
    Just gave the domain name and location of the domain home and clicked on create domain.
    So automatically AdminServer is created and domain was created successfully.
    After the domain is created, I started the Admin Server from the same configuration Wizard and clicked on Done.
    Now the Admin Server is started successfully. But I dont know the Administrator username and password as I didnt configure it while creating the domain.
    So how to login to Admin Console? What will be the default Administrator Username and Password to log into Admin Console?

    Got the answer.
    I tried with weblogic/weblogic9 and it worked.
    I m able to login to Admin Console. So this should be the default Username and Password.
    Please let me know your thoughts.

  • Administrator.username

    Dears.
    i have windows server 2008 (DC) installed. and about 30 windows7 client user. and none have admin privileges
    i found that a certain user installed several softeares without my permission (administrator account ).
    i found user looged in his machine (c:\users\administrator.username) idont know how this user (administrator.username) created or logged in to this machine.
    any idea how this happened, and/or is this a bug and how can i fix this hole.
    thanks

    Ok, then it is expected behavior. If you logon locally to the pc first, then to the domain you would end up with two profiles.
    %username%
    and
    %username%.%userdomain%
    Else if you logon to the domain first, then locally to the pc you would end up with
    %username%
    and
    %username%.%computername%

    Thank you very much.1) To not attempt to eat a listener. It is not good for you.
    2) Are you sure you are in the right forum for this? (You may be .. but you may well not be) ... if ODD is open developer day the information on passwords is usually in the installation instructions.
