lockout admin account?

Hello, this is extremely important and I hope to get this resolved as soon as possible!

I changed my iCloud email and password last night because I had to disable my old email address because it was full of spam and garbage. I changed it to a more recent gmail account which was an easy change.

I managed to solve this problem with my phone in position on the settings and change the email so I can re - connect to iTunes and everything. But, I am now locked out of my computer on the login screen.

The password for the login is a password to iCloud and since I changed it, I'm locked up. I typed my password new and old times, and I don't get in. I couldn't find a way to solve this problem. Again, if someone could help as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated.

just called apple support and they helped me through everything!

  • Blocked admin account.

    I have two accounts on Win 7 OS... an admin account and another is the domain account. In built administrator account is disabled by default. On my admin account, that I gave 3 times the wrong password and it got locked. Is there a way I can open it offline.
    The message that is show is 'the reference account is currently locked and cannot connect '.

    Hi Oberwald

    It was completed last week and so far its only coast... I guess my domain administrator has locked that and the problem is that I don't know him. Y at - it otherwise that communicating with him to unlock the account. Thank you!!

    If your domain administrator cannot be contacted, then practice common is to escalate the problem through your manager.

    If there is a lockout time-based, so you can move it as follows:

    1. Start the machine mode of the BIOS Setup.
    2. Change the date of a year in the future.
    3. Unplug the network cable.
    4. Reset.
    5. Log in under your local administrator account.
    6. Create the spare account that I mentioned earlier.
    7. Reconnect the network cable, reset date, log in normally.

    I bought the clean my Mac 3 software...

    'Cleaning' apps are scams. Extract of effective defenses against software malware and other threats:

    • Never install a product that claims to 'clean up', 'speed', 'optimize', 'boost' or 'speed up' your Mac; to "wash", "tune" or to make it "brilliant". These allegations are absurd.
      • These products are marketed very aggressively. They are all scams.
      • They usually operate on the erroneous premise that Mac builds 'junk' that must be systematically 'cleaned' for optimum performance.
      • Trial versions of these programs are successful because they provide more instant gratification of free space on the disk.
      • This increased space is the result of irreversible destruction of files, programs or operating system components normally protected against accidental tampering or removal. The eventual result will be the reliable operation, poor performance and random crashes that may not become evident for months, or even years after their use, when updates of programs or OS X are finally released.
      • Memory "cleaners" that bypass the work of OS x memory management algorithms by purging the memory contents inactive for mass storage, which can only result in performance degradation and accelerated the hardware failure.

  • Siri is disabled by the Parental control on macOS Sierra admin account

    I just installed macOS Sierra today on my 13 "Mac Book Pro (early 2011). I have only one user account that is an administrator account. Siri is not enabled on my machine.

  • 'Creative cloud' is working on a new admin account but not not in old account admin

    Hey community,.

    As my "Adobe Creative Cloud" was no longer working (not able to connect) on my old admin account.

    Adobe told me to create a new admin on 'El Capitan' account.

    Working on the new creative cloud account.

    (Adobe told me that there is a configuration problem on the old account)

    I would like to know

    • How can I detect what's the difference in configuration between the two account?
      or
    • How can I migrate all the settings and my old account to the new facilities?

    Purpose:
    I have a different software on my old account that I use for my work; VMware Fusion 8, different browsers, printer software, tools etc.)

    And also the settings...

    (I obviously don't want to use my old account for everything and have to switch to the new account just for the creative cloud...)

    Plan:

    I can either migrate all the settings from the old account to the new or detect the problem in configuration in my old account.

    Kind regards

    Adobe Creative Cloud ran after the new update of El Capitan.

    Any help... Please

    Hello

    seems really strange, especially after the installation of a pc wireless card software. I can give you a suggestion:

    EVERYTHING YOU DATA BACK UP AND REINSTALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.

    I think that it is the only way, because when you describe you already tried almost every thing, then a recovery is inevitable. Copy/backup your data and put the new OS on the HARD drive.

    After that, make separate accounts (for example 3 accounts) and install the card netgear with the admin account. It should work.
    Would appreciate some comments.

  • Place the Parental control over the Admin account

    I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

    Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

    I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

    Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

    Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.

    If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

    Step 1

    Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

    Step 2

    This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Step 3

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

    Select the user account

    and select

    Administrator (root)

    Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.

    Select

     ▹ Reboot...

    in the menu bar.

    Step 4

    This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select

     ▹ Disconnect...

    from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.

    Step 5

    On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.

    Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked

    Allow the user to administer this computer

    You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

    Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

    Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.

  • XP admin account is hidden and in safe mode F8 annoys me but I cannot view the admin account.

    The admin account is hidden and it seems as my user account, but what built allowed me to install the drivers it isn't now.  Impossible to install a wireless card to get on the web.
    I followed the previous advice and used the SafeMode (F8) and got to the login screen, but my account does not allow me to view the account Admin don't want to rebuild again if I can avoid it. Any advice would be very welcome.
    Edit the registry key doesn't help either not that my account has no rights to add a key
    Thank you

    According to Microsoft: "This isn't a problem... it's a feature"...

    The normal behavior for Windows XP is to hide the built-in Administrator account once another user account is created.  Not rebuild your machine again because it happen.  One way around this problem is to create another administrator-capable user as an unprivileged user.  Then, when the account is not built-in Administrator, you will have a visible connection as admin user.

    As it is now, your solution is simple.  On the normal startup login screen, hit twice by the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination.  This will bring up a login screen standard where you can enter the user name and password (if any) of the built-in Administrator and you connect to your computer to a normal startup mode and make the changes you want.  (I recommend that you create a 2nd Admin user with the control panel of users)
