Reset Origin Tool For Mac

It involves downloading a reset tool which won’t affect your installed games. If you’re having issues downloading games into Origin click on Origin > Preferences in the menu bar, select the Advanced tab and enable Safe Mode Downloading. I don't know if there's another way to open TS4 on the computer but origin hasn't been opening for me. It will say it's opening but then immediately close itself down. Origin just stopped opening on my Mac, for no reason. Everything I've read says to download and run the Reset Tool.only I can't find the tool anywhere. So basically all you did was exit Origin and start it up again? That's almost like the instructions I copied earlier, except without the tedious copying and pasting of files to other locations and using it as a backup. The Reset Origin Tool is for Mac users. I have a PC, so the download does not work for me. Is there a reset Origin option for PC users? Message 3 of 3 (761 Views). Re: Reset Ruler Origin Ton Frederiks Jun 18, 2018 12:52 AM ( in response to alexanderm13621212 ) It should still work the same, grab the intersection of the rulers at the upper left and drag, double click the same intersection to reset.

    ughhh. Totally wrong. Same copy/paste junk from every other site. A 'first run' Outlook install has NO profile, not an empty one. Following these instructions leaves you with a bunch of old garbage. The correct way:
    In registry, go to HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice[version] and delete the Outlook key.
    Go to %appdata%Microsoft and delete the Outlook folder.
    Go to Users[username]AppDataLocalMicrosoft and delete the Outlook folder.
    NOW you have a clean 'first run' Outlook setup.
    • Sorry it does not work for you. But we have tested the method before we place the tutorial up, it works for most of users.
      • thanks for posting. My outlook was giving errors on (no longer existing) mailservers wich i had deleted 1 year ago.
        After your 'firt time run' these old mailservers came back again. So outlook still had that in memory.
        I wil try the methode of Orca.

        You are objectively wrong, Sunny, Orca James posted the correct method of hard resetting Outlook. You just create a new blank profile, rather than resetting things.

    Hello,
    If I reset to factory settings will all of my emails be lost? I had someone screw around with my email a few weeks ago and I have no idea how to change it back to how it was before and this seems like the only logical way to get things straight, to start over. I'm just afraid of loosing all of my emails, everything in my calendar, etc.
    Thanks for your help.

Can’t remember your Mac’s password? Don’t worry. With the default settings, you can simply try logging into your Mac. Fail enough times and you’ll be able to reset your password with your Apple ID. But this won’t always work.

RELATED:How to Encrypt Your Mac’s System Drive, Removable Devices, and Individual Files

If you haven’t enabled FileVault disk encryption, there’s an easy password-reset tool you can access. If you have enabled FileVault, you’ve got two potential options: your Apple ID can work if you have one, or you can use the passcode you were shown after starting the encryption process. If none of that works, you’re files are gone, and you’ll simply have to reinstall macOS.

First Things First: Try Signing In As Another User

If you have more than one user account on your Mac, try signing in with a different user account. If you gave that other user account permission to decrypt your Mac with its password, you’ll be able to sign in and access a desktop. And if the account is an administrator account, you can then change the password for your primary account.

Just head to System Preferences > Users & Groups, click the account for which you’d like to change the password, and then click the “Reset Password” button.

If you don’t have another user account you can use, then what methods you choose to regain access to your Mac depend on whether you do or do not have FileVault enabled.

What To Do If You Do Not Have FileVault Enabled

If you do not have FileVault enabled, you can reset your password using your Apple ID or macOS Recovery tool.

Reset Your Password Using Your Apple ID

This trick only works if you’ve associated your Mac account with an Apple ID, and don’t have FileVault enabled. This is the default option. If you enabled FileVault, you’ll need to try one of the other options we discuss later in this article.

If you’ve forgotten your password, just try entering the wrong password three times at the sign-in screen. After three wrong answers, you’ll see a “If you forgot your password, you can reset it using your Apple ID” message.

Click the button and enter your Apple ID details to reset your password.

Create a new password, and provide a new hint.

That’s it! Note that you’ll likely lose access to your Keychain, because that still uses your old password.

Reset the Password From macOS Recovery

If you haven’t enabled FileVault encryption, there’s another easy way to reset any user account’s password. You just need to restart your Mac and hold Command+R while it’s booting. This boots your Mac into a special recovery mode, also known as macOS Recovery. From macOS Recovery, you can access a hidden a password reset tool and use it to change any user account’s password on the Mac.

Reset Origin Tool For Mac

To launch the tool, open the Terminal by clicking Utilities > Terminal in the menu bar.

At the Terminal prompt, type resetpassword, and then hit Enter. The password reset tool launches, allowing you to change the password of any non-encrypted account.

Wasn’t that easy? Almost too easy, which is why you should enable FileVault encryption if you haven’t already.

RELATED:How to Secure Your Computer With a BIOS or UEFI Password

Note: In the unlikely event that you’ve enabled a UEFI firmware password on your Mac, you won’t be able to gain access to macOS Recovery unless you remember that password. You can’t remove that UEFI firmware password without visiting an Apple Store—at least in theory. This helps prevent thieves from just erasing the UEFI password of a MacBook after they steal it.

What To Do If You Do Have FileVault Enabled

If you do have FileVault enabled, you can try resetting your password using your Apple ID or your FileVault recovery key. If those don’t work, you may be forced to reinstall macOS.

Reset The Password Using Apple ID or Recovery Key

If you have FileVault disk encryption enabled and tied to an Apple ID, this all works a little differently: you won’t see a prompt like the one above, no matter how many times you get the password wrong.

If you use an Apple ID with your account, however, you will see a prompt after one minute. This will be text at the bottom of the screen, and it will tell you to hold down your power button in order to turn your Mac off. Turn your Mac back on after doing this, and your Mac will boot into Recovery Mode, directly opening the password recovery tool.

If you have an Apple ID tied to your account, you will be asked for your credentials, and you can reset them if you need to.

If you don’t have an Apple ID tied to your account, you do not need to restart your Mac to use this tool. Instead, you can enter your Recovery Key directly into the password prompt of the login screen. This—aside from the password—is the only thing that can decrypt the files stored on your Mac and give you access to them.

Assuming you have this recovery key, you can type the recovery key into the password field on the login screen. This decrypts your Mac’s storage and signs you in. Once you’re signed in, you can change the password from the usual “Users & Groups” tool in the “System Settings” window.

Reinstall macOS

If you’ve set up FileVault encryption and you can’t gain access to your account—for example, if you chose to store the recovery key locally and misplaced it—you’ll no longer have access to any files on your Mac. You hopefully have backup copies of these files elsewhere, as the originals are encrypted and without your password or recovery key, you simply cannot access them.

RELATED:How to Wipe Your Mac and Reinstall macOS from Scratch

While you will lose your files if you misplace your encryption credentials, your Mac won’t become useless. You can reinstall macOS and start from scratch—losing access to the files currently on your Mac, but regaining the ability to actually sign in and use it.

Reset Origin Tool For Mac

To do this, reboot your Mac and hold Command+R as it’s booting up. This takes you to a special macOS Recovery mode. Click the “Reinstall macOS” option here, and then go through the installation process to reinstall macOS.

If you can’t remember your Apple ID password, Apple’s website offers an Apple ID password reset tool that might be able to help.
