Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... though I was just thinking, this new User probably shouldn't be the same name as an existing one.
If that doesn't work for you (and some users have reported it has not worked for them), try Niel's procedure Making the Setup Assistant reappear.

  • Tiger to Leopard transition- user name and password not working. plz help!

    Hi all. Last year I purchased a MacBook Pro with Tiger OSX. Anyways I wanted to switch to leopard, so I did. Now when I want to install updates, as usual it requires my user name and password. But after I installed leopard, my old user name and password does not work (my login name does not even show up in the box anymore). I can not install any new software on my computer because of this so called "new password." Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because this is very frustrating since I just purchased an iPhone and I can't sync it because I need the new version of itunes.

    can you log in at all as another user? if not activate root and log in as root using [these instructions|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278]. then look in the /Users folder at the top level of the hard drive. do you see the home directory with your old username there? post back with what you find.

  • Admin name and password not working

    I recently upgraded to leopard and I just tried to install a printer and it asked for an admin name and password. I only have one account on my powerbook. My name and password work to unlock the computer when waking from sleep but is being rejected in the system preferences panel. I know I have the name and password right and that I am the only admin account. Please help.

    At the top of the Leopard discussion pages, there's a yellow box, suggesting that you read one of Apple's "known problems and workarounds" documents. This problem is one of those discussed.

  • Display login as Name and Password not working?

    Oddly, in Yosemite, with my system preference (under Users & Groups) set to display a request Name and Password at login, whenever my machine is reboot/restarted, i shows a login window with all the available user accounts (list of users).
    has anyone else figured out this bug?
    the Name and Password dialog does come up after the machine is woken from sleep, but not when the machine is restarted...
    (this removes one level of security since a third party then only needs a password, as opposed to both a user name and password) to login to the machine.

    hi Linc,
    i'm not claiming i know anything special. i'm just saying that something changed or there is some weird bug going on with my macbook air running Yosemite.
    if you are calling the "pre-boot login screen" the one that comes up when you power up your Mac from being completely powered down, this is the one i'm concerned/talking about.
    historically, going back to 10.0, just like all unix machines i've used over the decades, on this screen, one is prompted with a simple two blank login which requires both a username and password, as long as the system preference was set to this option. of course, if the system is set to display a "list of users," it would show that instead.
    the "toggle" in the System preference is certainly there, and behaves as i expect on my 10.10.2 Mac Pro (2010), but it doesn't do anything on my 10.10.2 Macbook Air (2013).  i really think this is a bug because this feature/setting has existed for many years and variations of Mac OS X.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • SSH local database username and password not working

    I have a weird issue. I recently setup an ASA 5510 and had SSH working. To make it easier on my VPN users I then decided I wanted to setup a Windows 2008 Network Policy Server for RADIUS authentication. Ever since I added the RADIUS part to aaa authentication, when I use SSH to connect to the ASA it will not take the local user name and password I have setup. I can however get in using a Domain user name and password. Below is the SSH and AAA configuration. Am I missing something here? The username and password in the ASA is not on the domain and it's like the ASA is not even trying LOCAL when it tries to authenticate. I want it to use the local username and password if possible. I'm kind of new to ASA's..
    On another note, I have never been able to SSH in on the internal interface. I always get a "The remote system refused the connection" error message. I can only use the outside interface.
    Site-ASA# sh run | in ssh
    aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
    ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
    ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
    ssh timeout 60
    ssh version 2
    Site-ASA# sh run | in aaa
    aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS protocol radius
    aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS (inside) host 10.0.0.6
    aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
    aaa authentication http console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
    Site-ASA#
    If there are any other config that would help I would be more than happy to display them
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I was just coming in to update this because you are exactly correct. For some reason I kept thinking that if the authentication failed via RADIUS it would use local which is not the case.
    Problem (or no problem) resolved.

  • FTP User Name and Password - not saving

    Occasionally, FTP user name and password for each site are all gone. I have searched the Internet for the solution. All I found were an issue w/ Dreamweaver 8 and CS4/CS5 but on a MAC.

    I can primarily speak for the Mac myself, although I do use the Windows versions at work on occassion, but this problem is usually due to either insufficient permissions (what user level are the users that are having trouble) or corrupted cache files.  Try this KB article to re-create a user preferences folder for Windows:

  • Help - Login Names and Passwords Disappear

    I recently encountered a problem while using Safari. As I usually do, I accessed a website where I have to enter a login name and password, like this one. When I click "submit" or press "enter" both the name and password simply disappear. I retype the information, and again its gone when I press "enter." This happens on every site that requires a login name and password, including this site. I am using Firefox in order to access this site and post this thread.
    Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this? Safari is my preferred browswer.

    Thank you for your reply. I solved my problem. Many sites requiring a login name and password, including Apple Discussions, also require that you allow them to set cookies in your system. I had set Safari Preferences > Security to never accept cookies. Apparently, doing this prevents these websites from accepting any login name or password you enter. Resetting Preferences > Security to accept cookies again allows me to use a login name and password.

  • IMessage and Facetime Not Working - Cannot Log Into Apple ID.

    Hello,
    Some background: iMessage and Facetime are not working. Both applications are saying that I am not typing in the correct password for my Apple ID. Needless to say, the applications are wrong and I am using the correct password.
    Some background:
    1) This is an iPhone 5.
    2) It is running iOS 6.0.2.
    3) I am on Verizon.
    4) I am located in the continental US.
    5) I have a full e-mail address for my Apple ID username.
    6) iMessage and Facetime are both working on my iPad, using the same login information.
    7) All other applications that use Apple ID, such as the App Store, are not having this type of log in issue.
    8) This issue occurs regardless of whether I am connected to wi-fi or just the mobile carrier, or both.
    Troubleshooting I have tried to fix this issue:
    1) I have changed my Apple ID password. This did not work.
    2) I have changed my Apple ID username/email. This did not work.
    3) I have played around with Date/Time setting changes. This did not work.
    4) I have reset all settings. This did not work.
    5) I have tried hard restarts of the phone. This did not work.
    6) I have performed a restore from backup of the phone. This did not work.
    7) I have performed a full factory restore of the phone. This did not work.
    Apple Support is at a total loss on how to fix this. I have now had multiple frustrating phone support sessions with them with zero results. If you do some searching, it appears there is no way that anyone knows of to fix this issue once all the troubleshooting I have listed above has failed. People have had to acquire brand new phones in order for these applications to work again.
    Obviously this is unacceptable.
    There are a lot of smart people on these forums fixing tech issues like this. Anyone have any input?

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

    Hi,
    Any help appreciated.  My printer is Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer.
    As of 2 days ago my printer has not been working. It comes up with several error messages after I switch it on. The first one is "Ink system failure: Ink system has failed. Unable to copy, recieve faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation. Error: 0xc18a0105. Turn power off then on again." 
    However when I turn power off then on again via the 'power' button, ".ink system failure Then the same original error message comes up (0xc18a0105). This is the most frequent error message and won't go away. Then I also keep getting a message saying "Photo Tray Problem: Lift output tray up, verify the photo tray is pushed in until it stops, lower output tray". Despite the fact that I have not used the photo tray in several months and it is in the correct position. 
    So far I have tried switching the printer on and off several times using the power button. I also switched the printer off at the plug last night (after it had been properly shut down) and switched it back on this morning. I have looked through the printer documentation but could not find any troubleshooting advice for this kind of problem. I have updated the HP driver using software update on my mac, and the problem is still there. 
    I'm getting desperate now, I rely on my printer/scanner/photocopier a lot!
    Thanks
