Somehow dont know my administrator password

When I go into "my account" My account says 'managed'.
Parental controls says enabled.
I tried to click the lock to make changes, But to my horror, it's asking me for an administrators name and password.
I have tried all the ones I can think of that OI have ever had.
I tried my apple id? Just anything.
now parental controls is jamming my internet access!!!
It says you can use Mac osX install media to reset....
I dont know where/what this means....Have no idea where I would keep this dont remember it?
what can I do?

You will need to do the following:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your current Apple ID back to the old email address (this is temporary - do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Sign into your iCloud account on your new device using the current password, and turn off Find My iPhone. Check to make sure that iCloud is not also signed on under the old ID on the device. If it is, sign it off: Settings>iCloud. Also check Settings>Messages, Settings>FaceTime, and Settings>iTunes & App Store, and if any of those are signed on with your old Apple ID, sign them off.
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the current email address. You will probably have to verify it.
4.     Sign onto the apps listed above with your current Apple/iTunes/iCloud ID.

I dont know the administrator password on my GPS notebook

I dont know my administrator password

Hi sloann76,
Welcome to the HP forum!
Thank you for your inquiry, I will try my best to help you resolve this.
I grasp that you have forgotten your administrator password, and are no longer able to access your computer.
If you have another account with Administrator rights, you can log into it and change the password on your account.
I located this on the Microsoft forum that may resolve your issue. I tried it on a Windows 7 computer and once booted into safe mode, the password screen came up and it did not accept the password you should see an option to reset password. Here is a link to the answer from the Microsoft forum Forgot my Administrator Password to Windows XP.
Here is another answer from the Intel community, How to Reset Administrator Password on Locked Windows 8 Computer?
If this has nor resolved it , you will need to perform a recovery to factory Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8). If you do the factory restore you will loose any data not backed up. During the recovery proecess, you will see an option to backup your personal files. Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8)
Please let me know the outcome.

Nope. You should have put a password in that you could remember.

I don't know my administrator password and I want to download an antivirus. I also don't have the MAC OS install CD either.

I don't know my administrator password or have the MAC OS install CD. How can I download and install software without either of these?

What version of the Mac OS are you running?
Generally anti-virus applications are either useless or actively bad for your Mac. ClamXAV is an exception to this rule.

Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software
Yes, Tom Wu of Stanford wrote a paper on something called Secure Remote Access Protocol. It's a form of Asymetric Key Exchange and has nothing to do with hacking anything. It's actually intended to protect data.
