My son-in-law passed away recently and his wife, my daughter can't remember his password. It's frustrating because we both knew it but whenever we try to use what we think is the password it rejects it

Adding on to what the first guy said, it is almost impossible to get any documents that are on his account. If you just want use of the computer do what that first guy said and reinstall the OS and create a new user account.

If it is a version of X,then,boot with the install cd. From the pull down menu select "reset password". If OS 9, I don't remember how to reset password but try starting up with extensions off.

I believe that you can boot up using the original disks and create a new user with priviledges. Search the Mac help and I am sure it will give you that information. Once you have created a new identity with full permissions, you should be able to delete the old identity.

i'm not familar with MACs whether it is going to be the comparable a abode windows. while led to pick "get carry of My community sttings automaticily". it somewhat is prevalent as DHCP. in case you have finished that unplug the modem/router/pc(s) and wait one minute. Plug the modem in and wait a minute. Then plug interior the router. After yet another minute plug in each and all the desktops and community gadgets. in case you employ DSL you may would desire to apply your ISP's utility to configure your connection.
