my old aunt can't remember his password for his iMac.  Is it possible to recover it?

My aunt gave me her iMac for my daughter to use, but she doesn't remember his password.  She's not an apple ID.  Is it possible to recover the password?

Any idea which version of OSX, it runs?

No idea if it's just a PW connection, or maybe a Filevault, or Firmware protection PW?

Blocked or alt key at startup, you see a lock or what?

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    You can try to create another administrator account and then you can keep the new account and delete the old one (be sure to copy the necessary files in system folders is first!), or you can use the new account to set the password for the old account (e.g. from the control panel-> user accounts).

  • How can I change my password for wireless?

    Change of password

    I'll put up my wireless after two years, and I don't remember the password for the other members of my family to use the wireless.

    Anyone know how to change, or the contact person to change?

    Where, exactly, is this required password?  Whether to connect to a wireless router, see the manual of the router (or manufacturer) for access and the router password reset procedures.  If nothing else works, every router I've seen has a reset switch that can be used to restore the router to the factory settings by default, where you can reconfigure and set new passwords.

    You are the person who initially set the password for your wireless (WPA or WPA2?) or it's a long string of characters (WEP)? --> who is he?  WEP, WPA or WPA2?

    You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

    My younger sister run my firefox just to this afternoon (she origin use IE), and she saw something that is not visible. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox?

    Another option is the master password + extension.

    You must first make sure that Firefox uses a master password, for more details on how to do that see use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords. Then with the master password + extension in its options, go to the getting started section and make sure that "ask for password at startup" and "Exit if cancelled" is selected both.

    As with all extensions, this protection is quite weak and can be bypassed if start you Firefox in safe mode that disables extensions.
