How can I remove the 'remember' user names and passwords to sell a computer?
I'm selling the computer and want to 'clean up', the removal of personal accounts, the user id and passwords that are "saved" on the system. How can I remove them?
The best thing to do would be to completely erase the hard drive by using a "safe remove" utility like Darik Boot and Nuke. If you wanted to be generous, you can then re-install Windows XP and include the installation CD with the computer.
Most paranoid individuals pleading to remove the hard drive completely, the computer without a hard drive, selling and maintaining or physically destroy the disk hard as you wish.
If you do not have Windows XP's installation CD, and you insist on the sale of the computer with an operating system, the best thing would be to use the system of the manufacturer of the computer to restore the computer to its "fresh coming from the factory" State. Usually, this is done by using a hidden partition on the hard drive.
There are 'file shredder' applications available (you can search for them), but the problem with the deletion of files and folders individual - even if the removal is made with a tool that prevents the recovery data reasonably - is that you never know if you managed to root out all your personal information. In particular, you probably will not be able to assume that the registry of Windows was completely "sanitized."

How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal. I am a novice. Thank you very much.
1. Please select from the menu bar Terminal
▹ terminal preferences... ▹ Profiles ▹ Shell
If the run command box is checked, uncheck it or enter the command to run automatically (if any), each opening of a Terminal window. Note: this is not how you define a default shell.
2. If step 1 does not resolve the problem, see below.
Back up all data.
Select
New Shell command ▹
in the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked
Run the command inside a shell
If it is enabled.
Copy and paste the following line into the text box that appears, and then press return:
/bin/mkdir disabled_shell_files
Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:
/bin/mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files
History Shell and former initialization files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It is normal that some of these files do not exist, and therefore, you will get error "no file".
Close the window and open a new test.
You may already know that files with name starting in '. ' are not visible in the Finder by default. So, if you open the folder that you created in the Finder, it will appear as empty, even if it is not. If you need to recover a portion of the data in the files of the shell, use a shell such as nano-based text editor (1). Make sure that you're not recreating the problem. Otherwise, you can delete the folder.

I changed my apple ID user name and password on 3 of my devices. I have a 4th device, which still has the old user name and password and I am not able to change it. I can't restore the phone to factory settings unless I can connect.
OK, just to clarify: you always use the same Apple ID, but you changed its name, correct?
If this is the case, you can go to iCloud.com or use find my iPhone app (free on the App Store) of one of your devices to remove the 4th icloud.

How can I remove the large green battery and plug icon?
How can I remove the large green battery and plug icon? It seems pretty ugly and useless. There is already an icon of battery-plus-card used to determine the level of battery and charging status...
Moderator edit: matched subject to content.
Hi thang_nguyen!
Another alternative is to double-click the battery icon and when Power Manager opens, click on Advanced Options > Options and uncheck the box "see the gauge of Power Manager in the bar then apply stains.
To access the Lenovo Power Manager when the gauge of Power Manager is disabled, right-click on the Windows icon / energy from the battery in the bar of tasks and you should see "Power Manager".
I hope this helps!

Question:
Firewalls Cisco requires that one level of password, i.e. the domain user name and password are used for logging as that to reach the global configuration mode.
Background:
We have several network devices Cisco, put in place who authenticate to our Windows using NPS (Windows 2008 R2) DC. Switches we have implemented the function exactly as we would wish that they need your domain user name and password to connect to the device. Then they require a separate password when you use the enable command, it is stored in Active Directory:
Switches:
User name:domain-username
Password:password-field
SWITCH >Activate
Password:Enable-password - to-Active Directory
SWITCH #.
Firewalls (as they are now):
User name:domain-username
Password:password-field
Firewall >enable
Password:password-field
FIREWALL #.
With the firewall, however, they require your domain user name and password first and then your domain password again when you use the enable command. I want to reuse the firewall to use the level that currently switches enable password rather than the password of domain. The appearance of the current configuration as follows:
Current configuration of the switch:
AAA new-model
AAA authentication login default local radius group
AAA authentication enable default group enable RADIUS
AAA authorization exec default local radius group
AAA - the id of the joint session
ACCT-port of 1645 auth-port host 192.168.0.1 Server RADIUS 1646
Server RADIUS ports source-1645-1646
RADIUS server key 7 1234abcd
Current configuration of the firewall:
RADIUS protocol AAA-server DC01
AAA-server DC01 (outside) host 192.168.0.1
authentication AAA ssh console LOCAL DC01
Console to enable AAA authentication LOCAL DC01
1234abcd keys
Any help would be great, thanks!
You must use GANYMEDE + instead of RADIUS for this.
Here, you can use command sets in the results section of the policy.

What is the default user name and password of the dynamically created edge NSX gateway?
Hello
I created a NAT device on request and as part of it, but an edge gateway. What is the default user name and password to connect to the edge device?
Thank you

I do not know the password by default, but you can either define easily. Just go to the network security &--> NSX edges, select your edge, click actions and identification of Climate change information. You can also enable SSH from there.

autologin Windows 7 without box "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
My dialog box user accounts does not the box "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" and how do I turn it on?
Hello Russ,
You can continue with the following steps to support. However, if your computer is on a domain, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do. You will need to contact the system/network administrator. TechNet forums can be beneficial for a resolution on your http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/category/w7itproinquiry. Please create a Restore Point and backup of the registry before proceeding.
1. click on start, run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. look for the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
3. with the help of your account name and password, double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and then click OK.
4. double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password in the value data box, and then click OK.If there is no DefaultPassword value, create the value. To do this, follow these steps: a. in the registry editor, click on edit, click New, and then click String value.
b. Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and press ENTER.
c. double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the value data box.
If no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon registry key by replacing 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature.
5 double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, type 1 in the value data box, and then click OK.If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do this, follow these steps: a. in the registry editor, click on edit, click New, and then click String value.
b. type AutoAdminLogon as the value name, and press ENTER.
c. double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the value data box.
6. exit the registry editor.
7. click on start, click on restart and then click OK.I hope that this information is beneficial
Thank you
