Recover powerbook password

I donated an old PowerBook (from around 2004) to a school in the Philippines but neglected to retain the password and have no record of it. They can't use it without it. I suggested going in as a Guest but there doesn't seem to be that option. Any way to crack the code so they can use it?

If this be a Firmware Password that appears before startup, then they can try removing the battery, disconnecting the charger, removing all memory modules, wait one minute, then reinsert. Restart the computer. This may work.
If this is an account login password:

The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.

Re: Satellite L350-16U - How to recover HDD password?

How can I recover my password HDD in my notebook L350-16U?
Thanks

hi foued,
hi all,
i'll try to bring some light in this discussion....
first of all
? what is hdd password and how it works:
the password is stored on the hdd and crypts the content to protect it from unauthorized access.
lost password means: all data lost!
but there is hope: some data recovery companies maybe are able to reset this password, search for "kroll ontrack"
?new hdd required: no - only if you dont need your data,
there is an option to initialize your hdd (option in bios) *but* you will loose all data!
how it works?:the bios calls a routine in the hdd controller that formats the hdd, after that you have a blank hdd - data cant be recovered from this point!
but you got the hdd in a fresh state!
there are some "cool" scripts/methods/tools around in the internet... i wouldnt try this....
this leads you to an unusable hdd and you will not be able to recover...
sorry but the only way to get your data back is to send some money or
forget your data and install the system again after unlocking the hdd (delete whole disk data by controller)...
this is a cool security hardware stuff - no way to break!

How can i recover the password, Please help me

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, try DFU mode:

I am trying to recover my password for my second apple id.

I apparently have two apple id's. I am trying to recover the password for the second id. When i go through "iforgot" i am asked for my birthdate but then i am told the birthdate entered is not accurate so i cant get past that screen. Also when i try to have it emailed to me, i never receive it. I know the id is valid because i use the id on some of my other apple products. If i do a search for the id i only get the infor for the promary (first) apple id. Thanks for your help.
