Windows Sharing Password.. Lost / Forgotten.. Administrator account..

HI.. I thought i would connect up my old G3 iMac running 10.4 Tiger to my Win7 laptop via ethernet crossover and move everything over i wanted to save by browsing the files and folders.
Connected the iMac and the laptop and i can work from the iMac sending files over to the laptop but i cannot remember ever setting a password as administrator on the iMac for my account for windows sharing.
I have a second account on the iMac for friends or guests to use and i logged in and that is the same as the loggin password but for my account my admin password is not recognised.

Is there a way to reset the password or a workaround to delete the keychain if possible. I've been sat at the keyboard trying every possible password i might have used but i'm sure i never set one.
Paul.

Hi BDAqua...
I read up a little on your suggestions for resetting / creating new admin account and decided not to try the New account route. There seemed to be issues with losing accounts and files and ending up with an "as new" mac and that was too big a risk..
All i wanted to do was reset the windows sharing password and there seemed to be NO method of doing this within the sharing preferences window despite being logged in as the Admin for the account. So I moved a few files over to another account on my iMac and started the transfer but this was time consuming.
Having just searched the Apple help docs i found a simple answer.
*Change my admin password*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8202.html
+If users can’t connect to the Mac from the Windows computer using the user account you specified, you may need to reset the password for that account in Accounts preferences.+
So with a new admin password on my account the windows sharing password was reset to the new admin password and I'm good to go..
Many thanks for your help and suggestions.. It didn't fix my problem but reading a few of the links has shown me how to make my mac safer for the future. I didn't realise that it was so easy to overide the account password.

Change password in my administrator account

I have a HP Envy23 from around 2 years. I'm trying to install new software, but i forgot the password of my administrator account and i haven't access to new installations. How can I eliminate or change my administrator account or change that password?

If you've forgotten your Windows password and you're on a domain, you should contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you're not on a domain, you can reset your password by using a password reset disk or by using an administrator account. If you forget the administrator password and don't have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you won't be able to reset the password. If there are no other user accounts on the computer, you won't be able to log on to Windows and will need to re-install Windows.

I can't remember the password for my administrator account!!

I can't remember the password to the administrator account on my laptop. I don't have a recovery disk either. How can I reset my password? I don't care if I have to do a complete reboot and lose any info.

Hi,
You should be able to do this without losing any data - try using a password reset utility such as the free application on the link below.

How to Enhance Security of Windows and Recover Lost/Forgotten Password

You maybe always get in some troubles with your PC. Lost Windows password? Forgot Windows password? Your PC was hacked? Therefore, it is a basic step for every Windows users to enhance the security of Windows password. In the networks, it is found that a number of user’s passwords are easy to guess. Only the smallest groups are the most security conscious and select passwords that are mixed lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation to create cryptic passwords. Adopting strong password is one of the most effective ways to ensure system security. Here are several methods for you to enhance the security of your passwords in Windows 7/2000/XP/Vista and so on. You’d better remember the methods below unless you want to reset Windows password from time to time.
1. Is random password a great password?
A common myth is that totally random passwords like Ht3&e#L%5d@$B are the best passwords. This is not true. While they may be strong passwords, they are usually difficult to remember, slow to type, and sometimes vulnerable to attacks against the password generating algorithm. It is easy to create passwords that are strong but much easier to remember by using a few simple techniques. For example, consider the password “Luck-73@Better?”. This password utilizes uppercase and lowercase letters, two numbers, and three symbols. The password is 15 characters long and can be memorized with very little effort. Moreover, this password can be typed very fast. The portion“Luck” and “Better” alternate between left and right-handed keys on the keyboard, improving speed, decreasing typos, and decreasing the chances of someone being able to discover your password by watching you.
2. Create the long Windows password
Although a password may eventually be discovered through some means, it is possible to create a password that cannot be cracked in any reasonable time. If a password is long enough, it will take so long or require so much processing power to crack it. That is essentially the same as being unbreakable (at least for most hackers).
3. Create the Windows password constantly?
This may be good advice for some high-risk passwords, but it is not the best policy for every user. It is frustrating for a user to have to constantly think of and remember new passwords every 30 days. It may be better to focus on stronger passwords and better user awareness rather than limiting password age. A more realistic time for the common user may be 90-120 days.
4. Write down Windows password in a proper place
Sometimes it is necessary for some users losing and forgetting complex passwords easily to write down them somewhere proper. However, it is important to educate users on how to write down passwords properly. Obviously, a sticky note on the monitor is not a good idea, but storing passwords in a safe or even a locked cabinet may be sufficient.
5. 14 characters is the optimal password length
Each character that you add to your password increases the protection. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is the Optimal Password Length. Many systems also support use of the space bar in passwords, so you can create a phrase made of many words. It is not easier to forget and lose, as well as longer than a simple password, and harder to guess.
6. Try not to use the same Windows password for all accounts
Some users always make the same passwords for every account to make it easy to remember. In that case, when any one of them lost, your other information protected by that password will be in danger as well. It is serious to use different passwords for different systems and accounts.
7. Do not use some common words that other users maybe guess
Most of users prefer to use some common words to remember easily, for example, login name, birth date, driver's license, passport number, pets’ name and other words contained their personal information someone knows. In that case, your Windows system will not be safe anymore. Moreover, do remember not to use some words spelled backwards, abbreviations, sequences or repeated characters and adjacent letters, such as, asdfgh, 123456, 888888, abcdef and so on.
You can smoothly use your Windows now because the strong and powerful Windows password is created successfully, Certainly, I believe that many users lost Windows password and forgot Windows password, then you need have to reset Windows password or recover Windows password. It is a big problem for plenty of Windows users that how to reset Windows password. Many users probably do not know how to recover Windows password and they are puzzled by resetting windows password, for instance, reset Windows 7 password, recover password Windows XP, remove Windows Vista password and other operating systems after they create the password with complex letters, numbers and symbols. However, it is unnecessary to worry and it is said that things will eventually sort themselves out. There are many ways to reset forgotten Windows password, including use windows password reset disk and windows password reset software, like Super Windows Password Reset, a professional windows password reset software which could enable you to logon to Windows smoothly without reinstalling system. You can know more by reference to http://www.passwordreset.biz/. Such was the case with using these kinds of tools.
These are all my suggestion about methods to enhance the security of Windows password. To create password for your Windows account is not a thing you should do, but a thing you must do by following my advices. It is the important line of defense against hackers. If your Windows password is indeed attacked finally or nevertheless you lost Windows password, you can try out windows password reset tool I mentioned above. The advantage is that there is no fear of leaking your password to outsiders. Certainly, the only better method is still creating the strong password, do remember it and then change one constantly.

Lost/forgotten administrator password

I have just bought a new imac and given my old one to my son. He reinstalled Leopard and has got everything up and running but whenever it asks for the administrator name and password it doesn't accept anything we put in.
We have tried my old name and password from before I gave it to him and we have tried his name and password from the account he has set up - which doesn't seem to be an administrator account. He is adamant that he hasn't changed any other passwords or anything but we don't know what to do now. If we try and re-install Leopard again it asks for the administrator name and password !
Is there anything we are missing like a start up default name and password (we have tried 'admin' and 'admin' or failing that do we have to reformat the whole thing and rebuild it from scratch?
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks
David

Now that's exceedingly weird, A computer that won't start up from the install disk. Cobbyco, after trying Monty's suggestion, putting the install dvd in, turning the computer off, waiting a few seconds, then holding down the C key and pressing the power button, are you continuing to hold down the C key or letting go right away? I usually continue to hold down the c key at least til the screen lights up, that way I'm sure the install disk is the one starting the computer up. The more knowledgeable folks who have replied may think that's unnecessary, to hold the c key down that long, but it's just my own habit. Try it, might work for you too.

Have lost my Administrator account - can no longer make any system changes

Since I had forgotten my Administrator Password on my son's Mac, I inserted a Leopard DVD, restarted the Mac while holing the "c" key and used the utilities menu to reset the password on my Administrator acount.
After following the on screen steps to reset the computer, when I rebooted the Mac my administrator account was now completely missing.
All that is left are two standard user accounts that work fine but do not allow me to install new hardware becasue they are not administrator accounts. What did I do wrong? and can I recover my Administrator account or promote one of the remaining standard user accounts to adminstrator level?
Thanks in advance for any help

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
What did I do wrong?
Did you use a Leopard DVD on a Tiger system? That's what your post appears to be saying.
and can I recover my Administrator account or promote one of the remaining standard user accounts to adminstrator level?
You can use the appropriate one of these User Tips to promote one of the existing ones:
I lost my admin user (Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier)
I lost my admin user (Mac OS X 10.5)
Be sure you use the right tip, and also to make the appropriate username substitutions.

Windows 8 upgrade lost all my account settings

I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8 and it deleted my Thunderbird program. SO, I reinstalled it but I've lost all my account settings and e-mail folders.
I stored my e-mail folders in another location, and they're still on my harddisk, but I no longer see an option for controlling where the e-mails are stored in this version of T-bird.
Do I have to manually recreate all my e-mail accounts again? And, after that...how do I get it to read my e-mail folders? I have thousands of e-mails that I must have access to. This is a disaster!
Please help.
Thank you so much!

Thank you for your reply, but I don't think I was clear with the problem. I can find the account settings option. The problem is everything that was there before I installed Windows 8 is gone. I have to manually re-enter all my e-mail accounts, but all of my old e-mails are not showing up. I can get new e-mails (if I re-enter all the account information), but I have thousands of old e-mails and folders that I cannot access.
How do I get those folders back "into" Thunderbird? It doesn't allow me to import anything. I am only given the option to import from Outlook, and I don't even have outlook.
I was storing (at least I THINK I was storing) my e-mail files on a separate partition of my hard disk, and I THINK it's all still there, but there's no way to access those files for some reason on my newly installed Thunderbird.

Lost Windows 7 Password

Forgot my Windows 7 password. Is there any way to reset my Windows 7 password from the Mac side with bootcamp? Using Terminal perhaps?

I used this with great success on Windows only computers and have never tried with a BootCamp Mac.
http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/download.php
The Ophcrack Windows password cracker is by far the best free Windows password recovery tool available. It's fast and easy enough for a first time Windows password cracker with a basic knowledge of Windows.
With Ophcrack, you don't need any access to Windows to be able to recover your lost passwords. Simply visit the site, download the free ISO image, burn it to a CD and boot from the CD. The Ophcrack program starts, locates the Windows user accounts, and proceeds to recover (crack) the passwords - all automatically.
In a test on a Windows 7 PC, Ophcrack recovered the 10-character password to my administrator account in 40 seconds. Ophcrack supports Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.
Burn CD and the reboot
use option key and hopefully
you can select the CD directly
If the CD doen't show up the choose the Windows side but have the CD in the DVD Player.
Windows should give you the option at the Windows Boot to hit any key to boot the CD.
The iso is a linux boot disk so hopefully it will work.
Let us all know how you make out.

Tried accessing administrator account with wrong password

I forgot my administrator access password,tried with a wrong password to many times and now the computer can't access account.I understand this to be a safety mechanism.How can I get myself out of this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

The above linked article is for the administrator to change other users' passwords from the administrator account. That won't help you when you have forgotten the administrator's password.
Here is how to change the administrators password. These instructions come from Mac Help, available from the Help menu in the Finder.
To reset the administrator password using the Mac OS X disc:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc and restart the computer.
2. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the spinning gear.
3. When the Installer appears, choose Utilities > Reset Password.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to change the password.
5. Quit the Installer and restart your computer while holding down the mouse button to eject the disc.

Using administrator and non administrator accounts - questions

I have been looking around re security for my iMac - newly updated to Snow Leopard. I am not very savvy re much of computer things. I just found a pdf entitled Mac OS X Security Configuration. It recommended having a standard nonadministrator account as well as an administrator account. When I first set up my iMac in Leopard coming from a pc, I had telephone support for my first three years and used it when I ran into some issues. During that time following directions from different support people I have ended up in Systems Preferences "Accounts" having 5 different accounts - one "Administrator", one "Login only" entitled "Guest Account", and three Standard [one entitiled with my name and the other two "TEST1" and "TEST2"]. When I am in the "accounts" window in Systems Preferences, my "Administrator" account is selected, but I cannot select any of the others.
I am thinking from what I read in the article that I should probably delete the three "standard" accounts so I am left with the "Administrator" and "Guest" accounts. And then when my computer turns on, it will use my "Guest" account. Would you agree? Right now when I want to get back in after my computer went to sleep, I have to enter my password. Would this not be required if I am in the "Guest" acccount?
Two questions:
(1) I don't know how to delete those accounts - if, in fact, I should.
(2) How and when will I use the two accounts that are left when the computer turns on?

1. You can delete the Test1 and Test2 accounts if you log into your Administrator Account. Once in your Admin Account, open System Preferences > Users & Groups and you will see and be able to delete the Test1 & Test2 accounts.
2. Leave your Guest account for, well, guest users. Do not use it in the normal course of events. When you log out of the Guest account, all the settings, caches, etc. are wiped, as are all files and folders that you may have saved in the Guest account home folder. The Guest account is truly designed only for temporary, guest use.
3. Leave your Administrator account for use only for installing programs, doing system administration, managing accounts, etc.
4. User your named account as your regular account. It appears to already be a User account. The primary limitation is you cannot install programs in a regular User account. This actually helps protect your Mac from viruses and other malware that would need to install software in order to corrupt your system.
5. You can turn off the need to enter a password when your computer sleeps in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. UNcheck the option called "Require password for sleep and screen saver."

SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 - Drivers Not Installing, Local Administrator Account Disabled

After PXE OSD for a Thick Image of Win 7 x64 Ent completes, several Task Sequence steps are not complete. Namely, 3 device drivers are missing (NIC, SM Bus and some other chipset driver), the built-in Administrator Account is disabled and it's not Domain
joined.
I have already re-created the thick WIM twice. It was built in a VMware VM then captured with SCCM Capture Media. The NIC is a Realtek and I have downloaded the most recent version of the drivers from HP's site and added them to a driver package which is
deployed. I even added several older drivers to my Boot Image and created to 2 steps to add drivers in the Task Sequence - one automatically installs the best drivers, the other installs a package with 7 NIC drivers. When I get the error during PXE OSD, I
press F8 and the machine has an IP address and the driver for the NIC appears to be correct. Upon rebooting, Windows completes setup but the Administrator Account is not enabled and the NIC driver is missing, etc.
Here is the portion of the log where errors begin to show up (from D:\SMSTSLog). Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Thank you for the reply, you're right the problem is with an image being applied, but not the OS image.
The issue is that for some reason, there were 2 images captured and SCCM automatically created a step for both. Image 2-2 is the valid Windows image, but image 1-1 clearly has some issues. I disabled the that step in the Task Sequence and it installed drivers
and completed the rest of the Task Sequence!

PE4-Win7: Please run this program from the Administrator account so it can set up your license. Once the license is set up, you can run it from any account.

Hi,
I'm using Premiere Elements 4 in Windows 7 (64 bit). When I launch PE I get the following error:
Please run this program from the Administrator account so it can set up your license. Once the license is set up, you can run it from any account.
Any idea how to solve it?

I came across this link online. Please check it out and decide if it will or will not advance your case.

Administrator account in Vista

As I understand it, with Windows Vista, the administrator account is disabled by default.
How do I enable it?
