Mac Os X Bypass Password



Creating a new Admin on Mac Os X: Here's how to reset your OS X password without an OS X CD. The Working solution for me was to create a new admin you can create new admin like this by deleting a specific file. You need to enter terminal and create a new admin account: 1. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime.

The username is the filename attached to the /Users/username/ folder. See the following for changing the admin password:

  1. Method 1: Reset Mac Admin Password Using Your Apple ID; Method 2: Mac OS X's Password Recovery Utility To Reset Your Password; Method 3: Use Terminal To Reset Your OS X Password.
  2. Click here for a much simpler way Sorry about the recording quality, it was one of my earlier videos and I didn't know much abou.
  3. Select “Quit Firmware Utility” to shut down the utility firmware password. Select the Apple menu and click “Restart”. The firmware password will then be activated the next time the Mac is booted. Read Also: How to Bypass Firmware Password on Mac. And that’s all you need to do to disable Find My Mac without password and protect your Mac.

For Snow Leopard and earlier

Mac partition windows lesen.


For Lion/Mountain Lion


Boot to the Recovery HD:


Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.


When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.

Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow

instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.


If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:


(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)


1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down

the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.


2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each

command line:


/sbin/fsck -yf


If you do not receive a 'Filesystem OK' message then repeat this command

until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a 'Filesystem OK'

message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.


mount -uw /

Bypass

cd /private/var/db/netinfo

mv local.nidb local.old

rm ./.AppleSetupDone

shutdown -r now


The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.


This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.


Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal


You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.


First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.


Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.


Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.


mount -uw /

ifconfig lo0 up

cd /var/db/netinfo

netinfod -s local


Now you'll need that short name. Enter 'passwd', a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called 'imadmin', you would enter 'passwd imadmin'.


The computer will now prompt you to change the password for 'lmadmin' (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.


Now, enter:


sync

reboot


and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.


Another Terminal Method for Snow Leopard


Reboot the computer and hold the COMMAND and S keys down to enter single user mode. (If a lock appears and a password request, there is a firmware password. You have to know it or take it to Apple.)


When the prompt appears type the following command lines pressing RETURN after each: Fl studio 20 mac unlock file.


fsck -fy


If you do not receive a 'Filesystem OK' message then repeat this command

until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a 'Filesystem OK'

message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
