lost my admin password password window but the reset doesn't show any volume!

For some reason, I forgot my administrator password.

On my MacBook Air, I have two accounts, one is the administrator, which I can access is no longer, and the other is my usual which I can access, but I can't unlock settings on this subject because I forgot the administrator password.

I use the recommended procedure to change the password, it's rebooting with command-r, go to the Terminal and then opens the password reset but no volume appears, and I have nothing to select.

Advice would be welcom

P.

Take this action after the start in recovery mode, 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. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Hi Karpaholix

    I would like to ask you a few questions to help focus in the right direction:

    Are there other specific details that you can provide that will help us understand and solve your problem? Since when you receive this error message? Have you made changes to your system?

    We can try a few steps and try to solve this problem.

    A default program is the program used by Windows when you open a particular type of file, such as a music file, an image, or a Web page. For example, if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer, you can choose one of them to be the default browser.

    Open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.

    In the default programs, you can:

    ·         Set your default programs. This option allows to choose the programs that Windows uses by default. If you want to use your Media Player to open all media files, use this option.

    ·         If a program does not appear in the list, you can make the default program using set Associations.

    ·         Open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.

    ·         Click associate a file type or Protocol with a program.

    ·         Click on the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default.

    ·         Click on the program of change.

    ·         Click the program that you want to use by default for the selected file type, or click the arrow next to other programs to show other programs. (If your program is not listed, click Browse to find the program you want to use, and then click Open. If no other programs are installed that are able to open the type of file or Protocol, your choice will be limited.)

    ·         Click OK.

    You can also check out this link for more details to make a default program:

  • Lost my admin password

    Hello, I lost my admin password and password recovery programs do not work, at the end it says the password not found, at this point im tired of going through all the steps to get it back. Planning on restarting the computer and reformatting to factory condition, it also clear the admin password and let me acess IM computer? Thank you

    I'm sorry, but I am prohibited by Microsoft's strategy to help you recovery your password by give you links to programs that work or showing you how to find these links.  If I try, they will simply remove my post and you will lose everything as well.

    Restore factory settings will be reset the administrator password system and give you access to your system (set of something you don't forget or leave just white which is what most people do), but it may require that such action drastic.

    If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Make sure you do the administrator accounts at least two (one for use) and the other in case of emergency and one account standard for your daily use (you can use the already created accounts to include in the present). Go to manage other accounts, and change passwords on account of the qualification and any other person that you want to change.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    Good luck and I hope this helps.

    I lost my CD of vista window. but his key... is there anyway I can download it install it n

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Hi w3ur_team,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that there are two features that are documented in the sync account. However the Android is not synchronized.

    There are two places we can check:

    1. In the Android settings, under accounts is the Firefox Sync or Firefox Sync (discouraged) joint account?
    2. Credentials work on accounts.firefox.com on the mobile device and are there any error messages in the synchronization of the settings menu > sync?

    I activated my subscription and paid for it as well, but the creative application cloud shows only the trial versions of the programs? What does that mean? Cause I followed the installation steps, and when I try again it says my installation code has already been activated?...

    Kindly Contact customer and details of payment verified. [Make sure that you are connected to the Web site with the valid Adobe ID under which the product is licensed].

    Hi Khushboo,

    On the bottom of the page of Adobe, you will see an option to change the region, make sure that you have the United States he and on the purchase page to change your currency to the U.S. dollar as well.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Concerning
