How can I unlock the security and privacy settings in El Capitan.  I thought I had the correct password, but apparently not.  Thank you very much for your answers.

  • Unlock the printing of the PDF secure in the free version of the reader?

    Hello!

    At work, we have some PDF files which the Sales Department should be not able to print. For this reason, they want to secure me PDF files so that they cannot be printed without the password. In order to be able to do this, the paid version of reader was bought to my user.

    However, when I test it, I can't find anywhere to unlock the impression in the free version, which is what all the marketing department uses. Purchase licenses for the entire Department is not an option, because it would be ridiculously expensive.

    Thanks for your help!

    . At the top of the Firefox window, click the Tools menu and select Options.

  • iOS10 allows to respond to messages without unlocking the phone?

    Hello world

    Is this normal with iOS10, of the lock screen to the top update since the last version of iOS9, I can do the following:

    Someone sends you an iMessage

    Click on the "home" button to put the lock screen

    Scroll down from the top of the screen to display the notification screen

    Swipe left on notification of iMessage

    Click on display

    Note the message and in fact a keyboard appears and respond.

    Is - it actually a device that you CAN answer someone iMessages without unlocking the screen? I find this a security issue very concerning and could be disastrous if someone can just open random and answer messages!

    I see the same problem when left scrolling on a calendar notification where I see part of the calendar for the day... Someone who does not unlock a phone is not able to access data such as the calendar and messages... or am I an overreaction?

    I understand disabling notification of message preview actually requires you to unlock the phone... but this isn't a valid resolution, but a solution and a problem for those not realizing the default behavior.

    Thank you!

  • Can I use the fingerprint and password to unlock the phone?

    Is there a way to allow the fingerprint reader to unlock the passcode as second security (or even it the other way around would be better for me, I like to read reviews before you unlock and put another finger on the button count as a lot of fingerprints. fingerprints) then we enter the password to unlock the phone? I want to use both, not to choose between one or the other.

    Hello

    I don't have a password on my computer since I don't don't need one. And in the past, I was able to enter the security settings and allow installation of non-apple software, leaving the field blank password and unlock the feature by pressing return.

    I wonder now a password that I don't have, and if I had, I must have forgotten. I don't know what to do to get into the security settings.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Faurie

    Well - I found the answer to my own question.

    It seems - so that you cannot use a password to connect to your computer, that when you want to deal with the security settings, the computer expects that you must have a password. In other words: you can not have a password.

    I solved my problem by creating a password, then use it, and I was able to access the security settings and do what I had to.

    Thanks to me.

    Hey groveman21,

    Have you looked at the section of the Base names of users and passwords are not saved ? There are lots of good information in there.
