Should the passwords in 'System keychain' (in Keychain Access) normally be accessible to the owner/administrator?

Should the passwords in 'System keychain' (in Keychain Access) normally be accessible to the owner/administrator or not?
If not, would it be possible to gain access via the Root Account?
I can access the passwords in 'Login keychain' (in Keychain Access). But when I try to access the passwords in 'System keychain' I'm asked for the Keychain Access password! I've never set such a password. I've only ever used one password - my owner/administrator password. But this isn't accepted when I try to access the passwords in 'System keychain'.
Please note, this question was previously posted in the OSX Tiger forum but no-one offered an answer
Thanks,
iHope

Seems this is a characteristic of the system keychain.

How to find out the password of system?

Dear all,
I would like to know how to find out the password of system as I forgot it?
Thanks a lot
Francis SZE

Since oracle passwords are encrypted so you cant see actual password. But you can use following procedure to login to oracle with system user.
For any account issue this statement.
select username,password from dba_users where username='SYSTEM';
EMDU27ANS729273
this will give you the password in encrypted format.
Now you can change that password for temporary purpose.
alter user system identified by test;
Now login and do your work.
After login you can issue this statement to reset the password to its original value.
Alter user system identified by values 'EMDU27ANS729273';
You have to enter the same encrypted password in the quoted string which you had found in 1st statement.
Cheers.

>> Using brtools you won't be able to change the password for database users like SYS and SYSTEM.
Are you sure about this? I am sorry but it is not correct. You are able to change these passwords by using brtools

Everything on my screen, Mac Pro, shrunk! Gmail, bookmark pane, task bar menu, even the password sign in. I'm sure I did something with the fingers thing. How do I get back to defaule

Everything on my screen, Mac Pro, shrunk! Gmail, bookmark pane, task bar menu, even the password sign in. I'm sure I did something with the fingers thing. How do I get back to default. The font is tiny, tiny. My operationg system is Mavericks.

Thank you for the list, I will print and keep it handy.
Contol F3 makes my whole screen larager or smaller.
Command option 8 does nothing that I can see.
Command option + or - will zoom in or out on the page I am on but if I change windows it reverts.
But bookmarks pane, the task bar, the password sign in and even the post I am writing (actually every printed word), are a font so small I almsost need a magnifiying glass. This includes web pages too!
I am using Mavericks.
Trying to retrace my steps when this happened. Nothing unusual, I was using airplay to watch a You Tube segment on the tv. I don't think that is related.
I really appreciate your help and comments on this. I can usualy google and find and answer, but to no avail with this one!

On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

No, Apple can't help. Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode. For that mode see:

Reset and start all over again.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated id so as to 'refresh' the acccount on it

Since the Adobe "Chat" system is not very responsive they suggest I ask the community my question. Did they jump you monthly fee $10 without explanation? Check your credit card.

Perhaps they will answer now?

I remember when Adobe Customer Support existed. Weren't those the good ole days. Now they've pawned us off on one another. Apparently this is what we can expect from Adobe from this point forward.

5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from

Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
* Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
* Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
* General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

Hi, Carmen.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
