How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?  My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings.  Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password? 

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

  • How can I find out how to log into my Mac book pro if I dont remember my name and password

    I Just open my Mac book pro and I can't seem to put my hand on what I placed as my password or name is there a way I can reset this abf start over?

    It's not a screen saver, per se., it's the iTunes Visualizer.
    iTunes -> View -> Show Visualizer
    Pressing various keys while the visualizer is on changes some of the parameters.

  • MFP 1217nfw How to Change Network Name and Password When You Buy a New Routers

    I have an MFP 1217nfw.  It was working fine wirelessly.  Then my router stopped working properly.  I bought a new router and easily set up my computers, iPad and iPhones to work with it.  But I don't know how to change the printer set up so that it will see and connect to the new router (i.e., change the network name and password that the printer uses to connect).  Anyone know how to do this without having to uninstall and reinstall the printer as if it were fresh out of the box?  Thanks for your help.

  • Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password?

    All you guru's out there, I need your help. Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password? Is there a function or procedure I can create or what?

    In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
    particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
    The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
    So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.

  • How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to connect to a Slingbox

    How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to set up my Slingbox?  It will not accept the Apple Extreme Name and password.

    The AirPort Extreme does not have a User Name, but it does have a device name and device password, which you may have already tried.
    There is also a Wireless Network Name and Wireless Network Password for the AirPort Extreme, which might be what the Slingbox is looking for if you are trying to connect it to your wireless network.
    There are no other "user names" or "passwords" on the AirPort Extreme.
    You established the device name, device password, wireless network name and wireless network password when you originally configured the AirPort Extreme.
    If you cannot remember these, you will need to perform a Soft Rest to reset everything. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document:

  • How to remove "Enter your name and password for the server"

    Hi there,
    I have a Mac Book Pro from 2008. I have mountain lion running on it.
    We used to have a server (pc) in the office that I connected to and stored all of my photos and videos etc.
    We have jsut upgraded to a new server and this connects great!
    However, ever since the switch, when i open keynote, imovie or iphoto i get the error message:
    "Enter your name and password for the server "192.168.0.10".
    (it is trying to connect to the old server)
    I have tried a bunch of fixes online but i dont think they are relevant for this issue - or i cant find what they want tme to change or remove.
    Any help would be great! having this pop up while trying to create things slows everything down.
    thanks!!

  • How do I extend my existent airport extreme network by addition of a 2nd airport extreme?

    How do I extend my existent Airport Extreme network by addition of a 2nd Airport Extreme?

    Can you clarify which version of the AirPort Extreme that you have now along with the model that you plan to use as the second device?
    The older "round" AirPort Exteme or the newer "square" version with rounded corners?
    Are you planning to extend using wireless only.....or by connecting the AirPort Extremes using a wired Ethernet connection?

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • How come firefox does not remember my user name and password for the verizon wireless website ? or verizon wireless ?

    how come when i log onto the verizon wireless web site to pay my bill, i have to sign my user name and password every time ? i am not getting the firefox pop up asking me if i want firefox to save my password for this site. so how do i get firefox to remember my log in information for my verizon wireless website ? thank you.

    This would be verizonwireless.com, correct? Their site requests that browsers should not save information for its login form.
    If you're comfortable with using bookmarklets, there's one here that should force Firefox to remember:

  • I had to reinstall osx on my imac and now need to log back in to rstart the systemI fogot my name and password for the computer.How do I find it

    I have had to reinstall osx and am now trying to log on to my power mac g5 and have forgotten my name and password
    how do I find it?

    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Reset Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Reset Password.
    Or do you have Firmware Password Protection set up?

  • I am being asked for a administrators name and password, is the name of the current user logged in?

    I am the only user on my mac, but I keep getting a box opening saying that I need to change my parental controls, it says i need an administrator password, i don't know what this is, I thought it was my user name, but it still won't let me log in.

    Hello Helenrobins69,
    If the password field is shaking, it indicates the incorrect password is being entered.  As far as the parental controls goes, it appears that the feature may have accidentally been enabled on your user account.  You can simply turn off parental controls however by following the directions below.
    Turn off parental controls
    In Parental Controls preferences, click the lock if it’s not unlocked, and then enter an administrator name and password.
    Select the user, and then choose “Turn off Parental Controls” from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).

    how do you stop my iphone keep asking for my works proxy server name and password

    Having been in IT for close to 30 years what they actually thought was, "whether you can connect your phone to our network isn't out problem, please go away".
    They don't want to troubleshoot it. And, honestly, if it's your personal phone, they shouldn't have to. it's not their problem unless their boss says it is.
