Ok, so the company you work for has given you a laptop and you wanna install some programs of your own or re:customize the machine and can’t because you don’t know the Administrator Password.
Here is what you do if Firmware Password is disabled:
1. shut down the Mac
2. Start up Mac holding down Command + s
3. You will see a black screen. Now type: /sbin/mount -uw /
4. passwd
5. passwd
6. After you’ve been prompted to retype the password you have chosen now type: reboot
7. When your Mac starts up go to your System Preferences/Accounts
8. Click on lock
9. Now type the following for the new admin: root
10. Now type what ever it was you typed for your password.
Now you can override your machine and customize it to your likings and change the password to the main admin account but only if you know the old password. If you don’t know the old password you won’t be able to change it (but) you will be able to create a new administrator account/new user and install programs and override any of the users on the machine.

Fix for 10.5.6 Has broke Online Banking Access. My banking was not working but now it seems to work fine after this fix.
I gave my guest account on my Mac administrative privileges and went to the home folder/ and deleted the file in the /safari folder/ called “LastSession.plist”
After logging back into the Mac and disabling administrative privileges for guest account and re:starting Safari, my Capitalone Banking is working again…
This bug only happens with Banking on guest account…Try creating a new account on your Mac…
This was the solution for me… Everyone else may be different..
What’s in your wallet?

If you are trying to shh into your Apple Tv and are experiencing trouble and see something like:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If you are sure there is no other party on your WiFi network and no DNS spoofing possible the solution is quite easy:
1. Just delete the known_hosts file on your host computer by typing in the terminal: rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts
This will bring things back to normal. so you can ssh back into your apple TV via terminal.app:
ssh frontrow@ip.address.to.appletv
the password is: frontrow
