What is "Administrator's password?" Is it simply my password for accessing my Mac after starting it after a shutdown?

What is "administrator's password?" Is it simply the password I use to access my Mac after turning it on following a "shut down?"

Am sole owner of a Mac OS X 10.6.8 (desktop) and am simply trying to install updated Adobe Flash Player after viewing recent "blocked plug-in" notice for all attempts to view YouTube videos. Was about to type in the administrator's password as I described. Honestly don't know if my ownership, by definition, gives me administrator privileges. Any advice and/or am I worrying needlessly?

  • HT1569 what is the network password for the  ios7

    what is the network password for the  ios7?

    There is no network password! If you want to connect to a wifi hotspot which is password protected, you have to contact the administrator of the hotspot in order to learn the password. If you are the administrator, you should contact the technician who plugged in your router.if you aren't asking that, let me know so that I can help you!
    Hope I helped!

    What's my exchange password for my gmail

    if you use an exchange type account for gmail "ie...m.google.com" then your user name will be "[email protected]" and your password is just your password.  I assume you are talking about a corporate google apps account.

    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Reset Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Reset Password.

    You can't log on and it wants to change the password , yet nothing works . 
    This is the non gui version.  About to format it and install the GUI version to see if it doesn't have this bug.
    Thanks

    I downloaded from MS on Friday. 
    It refuses to let me set a password or log on. Tomorrow I will blow it off and try the gui version to see if it's any better.

  • For printer LaserJet Profession​al CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

    Dear All
    for printer  LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

    What Windows OS are you using?  Are you networked?
    If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess.  If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
    If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access. 
    Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
    If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

  • How do I reset my password for accessing email?

    I just want to change my password for accessing my email in Firefox, but can't figure out how to do that- please tell me what are the steps? Thank you.

    Don't reset your password if it is working everywhere else. Try this first.
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    I am trying to set up an iCloud account on my iPad. It asks me for my Adminstrators Password, which I am uncertain what that is and have no records of. How do I recover it? 

    The only way I can think of having an "Administrator's Password" on a device is if your company has control of the device.  Otherwise there is no such password.

    You can log in to the Enterprise Manager Database Control with any DBA user. Typically, you should be able to logon as sys or as system. The passwords for these two users where specified by you during the install of the database.
    If you can't remember them, you should be able to change them on the command line after a connect as sysdba there.
    Kind regards
