I know i should of written it down somewhere, but i didnt think it was necessary.
P.s. this is the password that comes up after five minutes of me not using it.
I am the only account on my macbook, and i remember my password

Get out the disks that came with your computer, stick the #1 disk in and reboot the computer holding the c key down, you'll boot off the disk.
First screen is your language. Second screen is the OS X installer, stop there and look under the Utilities menu for Password Reset.
Follow the instructions.

How do I change the admin name and password on my iMac?

How do I change the admin name and password on my iMac? It's been about two years since I've done that and I've totally forgotten how to. Your help is appreciated!

Hi Haldane, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Changing the name can be dangerous, use ChangeShortName 10.4 only...

I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

I accidentally deleted the admin user and it wiped out everything, luckily it wasn't much, but is my computer going to be completely overloaded with data from the last user? for example, i had to redownload microsoft 2011 do i have little space now?

Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

How 2 synchronize my Bookmarks, not another PC, but between the Admin user and a Standard User, on my same PC?

Thanks for giving us the Sync function. But, never have I seen any mention of applying this to Sync bokmarks among Windows User Accounts or Mac Profiles. I am running Windows 8 (soon to go to 8.1 Update - - or, maybe, to Windows 7 Professional, if M$ cannot straighten out and fly right with 8.1U) on the HP notebook, and Mac OS X Lion (soon to go up to Mavericks or Yosemite) and I would like to take the good advice and do most of my browsing in the non-admin users instead of the Admins, but ... when I add some Bookmarks in one User, I needto find the new Bookmarks available in the other as soon as I switch Users. Please advise; someone expert in Windows/Firefox, and someone (maybe the same?) for Mac/Firefox. Your helpful assistance will be appreciated.

Sync works fine between two different Login User Accounts on a PC.And also between different operating systems on the same computer, for users who dual-boot.

I am on a desktop. When I go to download it brings up the admin window and asks for my pass code. I don't have one and this is a single computer. What's going?

When I go to download the version for a desktop pc it brings up the window with the administration and password box. This is a single computer and I don't have an admin. password. The other open is what I named the computer and when I click that one the box disappears and there is nothing. What do I do?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 18.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Yes, if you do a fresh install of the operating system, it's like a brand new machine.
No, if you restore from a backup like a bootable clone or TimeMachine drive.

My daughter and i share same itunes account but we want to separate and have our own. if i change "our" account to "her" account how can i set up a new "for me only" account and retrieve all my contacts and apps

my daughter and i share the same i tunes account but want to have our own now. how can i set up a new account just for me and still move or transfer my existing apps, contacts etc?

Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account.

The only account is the admin account, and i forgot my username.
