TS1543 my mac wont stop at single user it continues to root, how can i get to single user to enter info needed to reset password

I my mac wont recognise my password, i have tried to reset password using single user but my mac wont stop at single user it just continues to root, how do i get it to stop at single user so i can add info needed to reset password?

Are your sure that wasn't a Verbose boot (Cmd-V) you were trying? That would go on to a regular boot.
Try a PRAM Reset, then try the single user, Cmd-S, at the startup chime. For the PRAM Reset, hold down Option - Cmd - P - R all together until it chimes a total of three times, then let go to finish booting.

Thanks so much!

To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
For an admin password:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

Need to reset password for digital ID to sign doc in Adobe Reader on thinkpad using Windows

Hi,
I need to reset (or find) my password for the self-signed digital ID I created in order to sign a doc in Adobe Reader using Adobe Echosign software. I'm currently on my laptop (thinkpad) which uses Windows. How do I do this?
Thanks

Unfortunately, only you can remember your password for a self-signed digital ID. No one can reset or find it for you.

Need to reset password, lost install disc

I have a wireless router, Model WRT54GS v7. I moved recently, and I need to reset the password to connect wirelessly. I've lost the install discs during my move. What do I need to do?

The reason why the admin is no longer working as the router password because you might have setup a router password, not knowing, during the first time you setup your router...If you remember the router password when you first used your setup cd to install your router then enter that password else you need to reset your router and re-configure it...
To reset the router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Then adjust the Wireless Settings as suggested in the previous post...

Need to Reset Password for Partental Controls

I need to get into Parental Controls to make changes and I don't have my password. What can I do? My password hint is not of any help.
Thank you,
Kat

What is the model number of your router?
If you have Linksys E series or valet router and you are using Cisco connect for parental control then you will need to reset the router and reinstall the Cisco connect. See this link.

Need to reset password in Panther 10.3.9. Retail install disc won't mount.

I'm at the end of my wits here. I actually need access to Carbon Copy Cloner, but everytime I put in the password and click "clone" it says I entered in incorrectly.
I did this a while back with my Tiger, G4 PB. I believe the Tiger install disk will allow me to reset password (it won't with Panther).
Everytime I boot from the CD, I end up stuck in the blue screen.

TheRobotsCubicle, welcome, either you need to fill out your machines profile here or give us a little more info on your computer and any add-ons. In the mean time try resetting the PRAM.

Need bios reset password

Please help me with bios reset password HP pavilion dv4000 - system disabled - 13179 --- s/n (Personal information removed by moderator) - p/n EC329UA#ABA
Thank you

Without the DriveLock password there is no way to access the drive.
Since the DriveLock password is specific to the hard drive I believe your only choice is to replace the drive. You cannot disable or remove DriveLock protection without the password.

New user needs to reset password asking for old users password

Attn: My new Mac friends,
I just bought me a mac pro with the operating system
X Already Installed and because its a used macintosh the old administrators logon name appears and of coarse its asking for the password.
I need to know how to reset the password and put my password in it without the use of the disc to the OS x.
Or maybe clear the password at startup by entering ?
(what Key on the Keyboard do I press to enter the computers system bios or adminastrator?
thanks susan ([email protected])

Welcome to Apple discussions, Susan!
On a Mac you have to have the system disk in order to reset the administrator password. You should ask whoever you bought the system from to give you the disks. Without these you will be unable to fix many of the problems that occasionally arise. At the VERY least, you should be able to get the password from the person you bought it from.
Just for future reference Macs don't have anything equivalent to the BIOS. That is a PC thing.
Also this forum is for people who want to program on the Mac a much better forum would be the "Installation & Setup" forum under "Tiger"
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752
Finally, it isn't a good idea to post your e-mail address in public forums like this. Spammers can, and do, read through and add your address to their lists. Additionally the expectation is that all answers will be made to the list, so that others can get the help as well. If you want people t be able to reach you directly, you can go to "My Settings" on the right and add your address there. It is much harder for spammers to get your address that way. If you wan to know that someone has responded to your post, you can "subscribe" using the "My subscriptions" link, also on the right.
Enjoy your Mac!

Need to reset password for firmware on 2006 A1181 model

My mack book laptop, ser #A1181, has a firmware or administrator password i want to bypass. I have a copy of osx snow leopard here to replace it. When i fire it up, all i get is the, This computer needs a password to start. This was my mothers computer before she passed away.

I believe the only people who can help you with a firmware password would be Apple - I suggest making an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar. The advice/diagnosis is generally free (unless a repair is necessary).
FWIW, the Snow Leopard you have must be a retail version; if it is a machine specific version, it will not work on any other Mac.
