New imac mini cannot start as pick  up profile of my old  macpro notebook with forgotten  password

just puchased a  imac mini  and  started at home  where I have  a wireless environment  with time  capsule  and  a macbook  pro notebook. At the  start the minimac  recognised the time  machine and  asked it  if  wanted to take  the same profile of  the  notebook. I said yes and  before  launching the  operating  system  asked  the  administartor  password of the notebook. Despite  the  hint  used  I  realised  cannot remember  the password.  I  reset  the  password  in my  laptop using the operating  disk of  my  laptop (which  worked  fine). However  the mac mini  still  is  askig  for  the  old  password.  is  there  a  way to go around  this as  i  am  running   out  of  options.
can i  restart the  miniac using  a  different  profile  altogher?

    i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

    FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
    I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
    Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.

    The EventSystem sub system is suppressing duplicate event log entries for a duration of 86400 seconds. The suppression timeout can be controlled by a REG_DWORD value named SuppressDuplicateDuration under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\EventLog.

    hi do the following
    1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
    2. If prompted click yes,
    3.  expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
    something similair)
    5. right click the sid and press delete.
    6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
    in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
    i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
    i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

  • New imac, I cannot send attachments via hotmail - Safari?

    I have a new iMac G5 and I now I am unable to download (or is it upload?) any file/attachments onto my hotmail or yahoo accounts. On hotmail, I cannot access the browser button. On yahoo, the message reads: "browser does not support attachments." Both of their customer supports say that it is my Safari browser and that it must be optimized. I do not know how to do this and I cannot get apple support to respond nor do I see it in manual. Please help!
    Also, I have tredi sendign photos via four of the big image sharing sites (webshots, snapfish, etc. ) and cannot; is this also because of a problem with my mac - incompatiblity? No error message son those sites but no progress either.

    I had the same problem and here is how I fixed it.
    I had traveled out of town (away from my ISP) and just now found out that when I travel away from my ISP I need to do the following:
    Go to mail preferences, click on accounts, go to outgoing mail service and click on that and edit the smtp server and click on the advanced tab.  Click on use custom port and put in 587.  Under authentication click on password. Now this should work the mail sending when you are away from your area (mine is roadrunner).
    Now, if you are home, you should do the above, but in the custom port put 25 and under authentication click on none.
    This fixed my problem.  Hope it helps you.
