As always, we can't guess what your mail program is.
For instance, I use SeaMonkey for the Mac.
In there, the main window's menu bar has Tools. Select that and you'll find
Password Manager / Manage Stored Passwords / and in the left hand pane, you
can select the Domain you want to check a password in.
If your mail client has a similar thing, that might work for you.

Is this your user account password, and you can no longer log in to the
iMac? Does it have another admin account?
Until recent versions of OS X you would boot from the install DVD and reset
the password from there. Which version do you have?

You can use the restore CD to reset your password or even easier is boot
into stand alone mode and change it -
Hold CMD + S after turning computer on.
Then from command line -
mount -uw / (mount the drive)
passwd 'yourusername' (reset your password)
give it a new password and you're done - reboot

Exactly how do I type out the command? What is the main hard drive? A?
So would I type: "mount-us/A" and on the next line
passwd 'Joan B Sax' [with the single quotes? and then the password right afterwards with a space between the single quote and the password on the same line?
TIA

The password is also the administration password as well. Does that matter for this method? Also does it allow spaces because my admin name does have them in it (I should probably change that).
TIA once again.

After booting into stand alone mode
type
ls /Users
then hit enter -
The case IS sensitive - notice the U is cap.
this will show you your user name (and others) - it wont have a space.
now for example if your username is johndoe
type exactly what you see below - hitting enter after each line
mount -uw /
passwd johndoe
But if you have the CD you may find that more user friendly .

Many moons ago I used to navigate around DOS before Windoze and before Apple OS, so this doesn't frighten me and is a lot faster and easier. I will put in a notebook somewhere for future reference. The one further question I have is whether I type the new password with a space between the username and then the new password on the same line or do I type a return after username and then type in the new password? As it turned out I kept typing variants of what I knew the password should be with one error each time and finally got in. I promptly changed the password to something with fewer occasions for errors.
Is there a book with these commands listed in it? I assume it is a form of Unix, right?

It is Unix in origin - OS X is based on FreeBSD which based on Unix.
There are lots of books on Unix commands but unless you plan to use it
extensively I would just Google what you need - or try the unix command man
for usage help.
Glad you sorted it out,

Hi.
When purchasing audio books from iTunes, how does one know if the book is
actually audio before purchasing it, or if it is an e-book?
The apple Support Community does not address this question exactly.
I've tried searching specifically by author or book title with the word
"audio" after, and a mixture pops up.
Do all the audio books have the word "audio" in the title?
thanks so much for your help
(and Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it!)

If it says "Buy Audio Book" on the purchase button it's an audiobook, if it says "Buy Book" it's an eBook.
Audiobooks is a subsection of its own under Books in the iTunes store.

Since I have not received an answer, I gather I have gotten myself into an unusual situation. Could anyone tell me what I could google or another place I can look for some help.
Thanks
Kay
1. My friend has my old iMac with OS 10.4. He moved it from one room to another and when he started it up, he got a rectangle with a Hardware Test procedure on it. He can do the tests but it will not go away. If you shut down and restart it, the Test area is back. I sent him the directions for a safe start and he said it did not work. I have never come across this. Any help will be appreciated.
2. When I start Safari on my AirBook running Mt. Lion, the opening page will not start up till I hit the X to stop loading and hit the go arrow. Then I get a "force load" message and that brings the pages right up. I have run utilities, verifying the disc and repairing it and permissions. I have also done Onyx cleaning and automation using their settings but nothing has helped. Any ideas?
Thank you so very much

One can always search Google for your specific Mac issue: OSX+Issue+Mac model.
Also you could boot from an installer 10.4 dvd or an installer flash drive, or some installer disk you have made just in case you have to reinstall your Lion system. You did create a bootable installer disk for Lion? If you did this crucial step in computer use, you can reinstall the system, or, you can RESTORE your computer to a previous backup (just before all the trouble) that Time Machine would make for you if you follow safe computer practices.
One could redownload Safari and reinstall Safari to see if it clears up any issues.

I've never heard of this happening before, and I can't find any sign of it happening with anyone else in Apple's tech notes or via a Google search.
What's surprising about the situation is that for older Macs like his, Hardware Test shouldn't be available from the hard drive, it should only be available with the OS X installer disk mounted.
My recommendation would be for your friend to re-install the OS using the OS X installer disk and see if that helps.
If it doesn't help, I suspect that a trip to the Apple Store Genius Bar, or calling AppleCare, will be necessary.
