What if i forgot my computer user password?

a couple hours ago i was trying to get this app called MacKeeper on my computer, but when it asked for my computer user password, i completely blanked! I have no clue what it is, and i probably won't remember it. Is there any way i can fix this problem without having to reset my computer and start over?

  • Importing Security Through shared services caused admin user password chang

    Hi,
    I exported shared services from shared services url from one environment and imported into another environment. This changed the admin user password where I imported.
    Details:-
    I went to shared services of one environment say dev and to -> Applications Groups -> Foundation -> shared services and exported it. Took its export and imported into test environment.
    Now what it did it changed the user password of the target with the source one. However I did remove the internal ID of all files in it.
    Can anyone please help ? How to get the password of it back? I do not have back up of shared services of test environment.
    Version 11.1.2.1
    Thanks a lot in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was hoping you had a strategy in place, it is basically restoring the shared services relational database from a backup, stop the epm related services first.
    It may be even possible to correct your LCM file and set the admin to the way it should be but I am not sure what state the provisioning is in so couldnt guarantee it would work.
    Cheers

  • How to find the forgotten oracle user password?

    Hi,
    I forgot my oracle user password. Is there any possibility to find the password without resetting through system user.

    Going by Oracle books, its not possible, but there are ways of knowing the users password, which in other words is known as Bruteforcing.

  • What's my Computer's Password?

    I have one account setup (which is my normal user account with admin rights) with a password. I can login without any problems.
    Sometimes (usually when synching iDisk, but not always) I get a prompt to enter the "Computer's Password". If I enter my user password it's rejected. I can access the keychain, login to the computer and manage my account which are all password protected but I can't get passed this dialog. I don't understand what password it's asking for.
    One other question please. Is it considered bad practice to give yourself admin rights and have only one account? Should I have a user account and an administrator account?
    Thanks for your help!

    iDisk uses the password you chose when setting up your .Mac account at Apple. It does not have to match any password on the computer. If you forgot the password, go to
    <http://iforgot.apple.com>
    You should set up a non-administrator account for normal use, and reserve the administrator account for software installation and system maintenance. This will help protect the system for malicious software and user errors.

  • I have a huge problem! I've forgot my Ipod touch password, so I tried it a few times! Now my Ipod is disabled. So I affiliated the ipod to itunes but it doesn't work, I can't restore it! So what should I do?

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Forgot User Password for Satellite P100-313

    Hi@all,
    i forgot the user password for Satellite P100-313. Can i remove the password without professional help. Please help me.
    bye

    Hi Megaton,
    Assuming you have not set an Administrator password in Windows XP, you can change your personal user password (even if it is the only one that appears when you normally start Windows) as follows:
    Start your laptop in Safe Mode by pressing F8 after the Toshiba screen, and choosing Start In Safe Mode from the menu.
    When Windows starts and shows the logon screen, there should be an extra account called Administrator. Unless you have previously set a password for this "hidden" account, there will be no password and you should be able to log in just by choosing this account and pressing Enter.
    Once in, go to Control Panel and open User Accounts. Now choose the account that you forgot the password to, and a new window will open with various options including Change Password. Choose yourself a new password and restart the computer normally.
    When Windows restarts, you should notice that the Administration account is once again not shown, however, you should be able to log in to your personal account using your new password.
    I hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

    My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem.  I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad.  I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync.  I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library.  How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

    Go back to her login.  Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers!  Then, you need to set up each iPad separately.  You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
    There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except...  Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them.  If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
    On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs.  Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in.  The device handles that.  All you need is the correct password.  In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.
