What to do if you loose your system account password

I have recently been giving ownership of an application that uses 10g Express Edition. Unfortunately the only user documention I have is an low level user.
I am unable to backup/restore this database b/c of priveledge issues. What are my options if I am unable to locate the system account password for this database? Do I need to uninstall and re-install.

What are my options if I am unable to locate the system account password for this database? Do I need to uninstall and re-install.Uninstall? No, you can login as sysdba (sqlplus "/ as sysdba") and you can change it using following command:
alter user system identified by <newpassword>;

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

when you update to 10.6.3 will you loose your files and pictures?

No.   But you probably need to go further than 10.6.3.   If you have already bought the retail disc you should read the link below (just to double check).
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard.        Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
Once you have bought and upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard.          Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
And follow that by software update to pick up any iTunes or security updates that have since become available.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

TIP : In case of your SYSTEM account is lost

Hi ,
In case if your SYSTEM account is lost use this way :
If anybody has forgotten their SYSTEM account , do this way
Start SQL*Plus (Start -> Programs -> Oracle – Instance Name -> Application Development -> SQL Plus).
At the login prompt, in the user-name field, type ”/as sysdba” (including the forward slash, but without the quotes). Click OK.
You are now connected as system with full DBA rights.
To reset the password of the SYSTEM password (or any other user password), run the following query:
alter user system identified by NewPasswordHere;

This is probably most applicable to desktop installations for personal use, such as XE. It's unlikely to get you into your employer's payroll system.

How do you set your email account

How do you set your email account

if this is your first email account you're adding to your iPod tough, go to the mail app. you'll have choices of what mail server you have. i think windows live mail isn't an option, so go to "other" and go from there by filling your email, name, and password. Im pretty sure thats about it. i use gmail so that was pretty easy.

HT1420 How do you deactivate your itunes account?

How do you deactivate your itunes account?

Not sure what you mena by deactivate. You can deauthorise your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > Deauthorise This Computer menu option as mentioned on the page that you posted from.
If you want to delete an account then that is not currently possible, all you can do is remove any personal info form it and stop using it. But any content that was bought/downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so only that account can authorise its content on a new computer, redownload the content, and download updates to its app.

What problem may arise if we remove "system" account from ACL on files & folders

hi friends
as wee see, in the ACL of all files & folders ,the account called "system" exist & usually has full permission.
what is the usage or benefit of this here ? if we remove system from here, which problems may occur? if possible please give me some examples.
thanks in advance

Hi,
We have an old article for explaining this question:
How the System account is used in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/120929/en-us
The system account and the administrator account (Administrators group) have the same file privileges, but they have different functions. The system account is used by the operating system and by services that run under Windows.
There are many services and processes within Windows that need the capability to log on internally (for example during a Windows installation).
The system account was designed for that purpose; it is an internal account, does not show up in User Manager, cannot be added to any groups, and cannot have user rights assigned to it. On the other hand, the system account does show up on
an NTFS volume in File Manager in the Permissions portion of the Security menu. By default, the system account is granted full control to all files on an NTFS volume. Here the system account has the same functional privileges as the administrator account.
NOTE: Granting either account Administrators group file permissions does not implicitly give permission to the system account. The system account's permissions can be removed from a file but it is not recommended.
On shared folders if there is no system file stored inside, you can remove SYSTEM account from NTFS permission.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
hi shaon
nice. thank you very much
