Calling ALL techies before contacting...
apple.
My Mac is acting up big time! I can't add or do anything without putting in my password. Normally that would be fine but it's not accepting my password! Strange huh? It's very strange considering my password "hint" is my daughter, its mind boggling to me. I don't know if my daughter playing with the computer accidentally changed the password...doubtful but anything is possible. She's a toddler. The password has not been changed in years and now I can't log in to install STUPID Adobe flash! I've been trying all day. All I want to do is watch the rest of my shows while my daughter is asleep and we lose power! We'll most likely lose power due to Sandy as we usually do during a big storm. Ugh. Do you know how to bypass the system and start from scratch? Deleting all passwords? Thank you so much! You may not know the answer but I thought I'd try. oh and it's my systems password or key chain password not my Apple ID. |
It's an easy process. Hope this helps.
This is the easy way. The link is for those who don't have the install CD. Reset Mac Password – with the installer CD/DVD Resetting a forgotten Mac password is easier if you have an installer disk handy Boot from the Mac OS X installer disk by inserting it into the Mac and holding down the “C” key on boot Select your language preferences and then under the “Utilities” menu select “Password Reset” (it may say “Reset Password” instead, depends on the version of Mac OS X) Select the hard disk that the forgotten password is on, then select the username of the forgotten password, you’ll then be asked to select a new password Reboot as usual from the hard drive, using your newly reset password as the login!

Thank you so much! I've had a hectic couple of days but will try that soon.
