Hi,

I just purchased a used Macbook Pro. I can log onto the main start up screen with my password as an administrator but can not change or delete the passwords for everything. I want to be able to turn on the Macbook Pro and not have to enter any passwords for everything. Is this Possible?

Everything is set for a password which I hate. I really do not need any passwords for anything, but this macbook is asking for a password for everything I do. Can someone please tell me how to disable all these password settings. The system is running Leopard Snow X 10.6.
 
There is a program in the Utilities folder, called Keychain Access. You should be able to take care of your problem there.

Also look in User Accounts in System Preferences.

I'm a relatively new mac user myself, but I think these will help you.
 
If you want to stop entering your password upon bootup....

System Preferences-->Accounts-->Login Options-->Unlock the preference pane if it's locked, password needed-->Change automatic login to "on".

If it's asking you for a password for even opening applications, maybe check and make sure parental controls aren't turned on?
