help! i've sold my macbook but didnt wipe the HD

[rossyriot]

hey, guys

i sold my macbook pro, i was planning on wiping it however it ended up that i didn't have time.

I've just deleted all my documents and stuff, however a lot of the stuff is still linking to my accounts, I've tried to get as much away i could.

What i had to do was to sell it and change all my passwords for my:
apple ID
Gmail
etc

if they try to log onto my accounts as it used to be done automatic, will they be promoted to put in the new password?

The documents are nothing worth values its just my college work, i know some files can be recovered however that fine.

My main issue is all my accounts linking etc..

is changing the password's enough? what should i do? make new accounts or what not?

just generally like to know the best course of action.

the guy said he'll probz wipe it anyway, and he seems a genuine person

that still doesn't ease my worry.

any help or suggestions would be great thanks guys.

i guess the best thing you can do is contact the guy and ask him to wipe it.

I don't think there is much of anything you can do now except maybe change your internet passwords and what not if they are saved in the browser.

Change all of your passwords NOW, don't wait.

Change passwords

When ever you change the password, the SSO ticket generally get invalidated, so that the login will ask for new pwd.

should be okey, if he is trying to reset the passwords, google/apple will ask for the old password typing comfirm.

If you've changed the passwords there's no way the password saved in the keychain on your old machine will validate.
