Reset the login/username (newbie here)

Reset password usernsme: father bought new iMac and gave me his. He is a Director and can't remember the login information. Anyway to reset the news of connection so I can become admin & remove all of its sensitive information? Please and thanks in advance of a novice total mac.

If you try to access his account, but don't remember the password that this should contribute to what you're trying to do...

Farm Mac if it is not already. Once you press the power and the Mac starts to initialize press command and R at the same time. If done correctly you should be brought to a screen of OS X Utilities. At the top of the screen, click utility then Terminal. When the Terminal window type resetpassword and a window will appear. You will be asked how much the account is on (most likely 'Macintosh HD' in your case), select the account, and enter a new password and a hint.

Note that this will not have access to her trousseau, but because you will delete the account, it is more likely won't matter anyway.

  • Get the website to reset the connection

    I hardly need this often, but I have never managed to solve the problem I have. The WRT120N router works fine. However, the procedure to tell him that I should connect to Web site the router first with no login and "admin" as password, to set up a new connection in placec of the obvious "admin" and a new password. I have never been able to reset the login for the admin, but I put a password, and then when I tried to log in, the page does not accept the admin and the password.

    I've reconfigured the router from scratch, so to speak, more than once and continued to have this problem. Here again, it seems that I can set a password but never in the right place to change the user name of the obvious administrator.

    Help appreciated gratefully.

    Very well. On a Linksys router, you will encounter two types of passwords. The router password is used to access the page browser-based router. While the wireless password is used to connect your computers wireless or peripheral to the wireless network.

    Now, if you want to access page browser-based router, you'll quickly with the user name and password. By default, the name of the user-password is admin-admin or leave the username blank and type admin in the password box. On a Linksys router, you can change the password and the user name will always be using the default administrator or leave blank. If you access a page of browser-based router and you encounter an error saying that the router requires the user name and password, you must type admin in the user name and the password can be (default) admin or the password that you set on the router.

    To reset changes to the password because you cannot access the page browser-based, you will need to do a factory reset on the router by pressing the reset for 15 seconds (the red button under the router) button. After the reset of the router, you will be able to access the page based on a browser using the value default admin-admin or leaving the vacuum-admin username.

  • What is the current path before the login for file (image)?

    Hello

    Once I login, I get the background images providing paths relative to the tag in the page, as follows:
    inlineStyle="background-image:url('Images/welcome.jpg');
    that points to:
    C:\Myproject\public_html\Images\welcome.jpg

    Note that I have not specified any root "/" in the above path. This works.

    Now the problem is before sign you, it's in the login page. Here, for some reason, the image above is not find and load.

    The curious thing is that once I am logged in, if I go back to the opening page of initial session with the back button of the browser, now the image is found and loaded! Of course, now the only difference is that I don't have a current session, since I am already connected.

    For this reason, I think that I specify an another relative path, since the paths vary depending on the State of the session (no current session vs session) or perhaps paths must be absolute (but different from/Images/thanks, since it does not either)...

    You have an idea?

    Your web.xml would be this tag in this case that protects the unauthorized root access-



    allPages
    /*


    valid users

    Protect the path Java EE application root against unauthenticated access means however also that the resources of the web such as photos or stylesheets or deferred loaded JavaScript libraries.
    are blocked until the user is authenticated. For the same reason clients often report absent from the images on their web login pages.

    Or you can remove the tag above if you don't really care about unauthorized access or add the following line to your web.xml file
    **

    /images/images*.

  • How to get the full username by the user windows login name?

    Hello.

    I need determine the full username by the user Windows logon name. Where are many ways to determine the logon user name. For example application property node App.UserName or % variable %username% in cmd. But I found that one way to determine the full username by connected on behalf of the user - command net 'user' in cmd. This way is very slow and requires a huge code (I do get logged in user name, check if the connected local user or domain, create the command net 'user', find in output full username).

    Is there a simpler way without using cmd?

    PS, Full user name is displayed in the Windows logon screen and on the start menu and can be different from the name of the user.
