Admin Has Locked Editing For Mac Users

During setup, Mac OS X creates a user account that is an administrator on the system. Click the lock icon to authenticate with your current password, then click the. Go to the Edit menu and choose 'Change Password for Keychain 'login'.

I had seen the same setting using Mac OS Sierra by going to safari & its preferences, clicking on passwords a pop window appears safari passwords are locked to unlock safari passwords, enter the password for the user. I think so an extra security is being added in new Mac OS Sierra for admin users, so that apart from him/her no other guests can fill up the passwords field & use safari, system preferences or browse or can do any changes in system preferences settings. Only Admin user has full privileges to enter the admin password. If keychain is prompting to enter password multiple times, & pop - up is not going away when safari is opened. In user library click on go to go folder & type ~/Library then find a folder > keychains >Google play newsstand for mac. remove first folder ( alfa numeric folder ) to trash. Restart & empty the trash, go to internet accounts & once again configure web mail account, I cloud mail account by entering their passwords.

Open air port utility via spotlight > enter your base station password. If the pop -up window appears like this and you enter your login password, it never accepts and another pop - up window appears.This is due to corrupted keychain. Me too, I have the same problem after updated my OS X Yosemite to OS X Sierra. The key access passwords keep popping up continuously one after another until I completed all my login passwords.

Now the safari passwords are locked, after I updated from Yosemite to Sierra. When I entered the safari passwords I only see two items stored only and the rests of it are missing. I called apple and they recommended me to changed and created new passwords on all my email, iCloud and etc., But it's still a problem for me. Don't know what apple wants? But it's a frustration when you don't see it as normal software system. I have posted to another thread regarding pop - ups for iCloud Keychain: And regarding to the original question posted by Allan in safari preferences safari passwords are locked in Mac OS Sierra ( by default ). Login keychain and I cloud keychain are totally different, try this method, hope so it will work, by the way if you have issues you can contact in apple support ( senior advisors ), they are expert in solving keychain issues, changing passwords for I cloud might not work, sometimes entire keychain is corrupted so best way is clean the hard drive and install OS.

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro. I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion.

The problem occured when I tried to turn on Parental Controls for a User Account on my computer. Somehow, accidently, I put the lock on my Administrator's Account and now it says it is Managed. When I tried to turn off Parental Controls it asked me for my Administrator's name and password.

I've never before been asked to input my admin name, it is usually already in the line above the box for my password. When I entered what I thought was my administrator's name and password, it says one or both are wrong. I have a login password on my computer and that works fine and I thought this password was the same. I can't access any web secure sites and need to turn off the parental controls.

Unfortunately, I've scratched the orignal startup disk so can't use that but I did try reinstalling Mountain Lion from the Mac store - with the same result - access denied to turn off parental controls. I can't access anything on my computer that might require an administrator's name and password. Click to expand.Since you're running Mountain Lion you can do a clean install directly using the built in recovery features without the original start up disks. When you reinstalled directly from the App Store, all it does is restore the operating system files and does not reset any settings or preferences that you've set. Do a backup using an external drive and time machine or manually copy all of the documents and stuff that is important Restart and hold alt (or it may be opt on your keyboard) Choose Recovery 10-8 Click on Disk Utility and then select your start up partition.
