  • How to reset master password?

    Hi Experts,
    I have installed NW CE 7.1 and NWDS 7.1. It got installed successfully. During installation it asked me for the master password that will be used for all users. I have provided the password as "password1". But now it is not working for any of the users when I try to login. I tried with users "j2ee_admin" and "SAP*".
    Please help me to figure out what could be the problem. Or how to reset the password.
    Thanks in advance.
    JK

    Hi JK,
       Try user 'administrator' and your password.

  • How to stop the prompting message of master password when I open firefox when not opening on a site that doesn't use a password?

    Every time I open Firefox it asks for my Master Password. I am not on a site that has a saved password, yet it still asks for it. Sure I can hit Cancel, but continually doing so is a nuisance. It never used to do this in past versions, it only asked for the master password when entering a site with a saved password. Is this a bug? How can I stop this annoying behavior. If needed my Start Page is: www.webcrawler.com.

    Sync will try to connect to the Sync server to look for changes, from other devices that are setup for that account, shortly after Firefox is opened if anything is set to be synchronized, not just tabs. You need to disable Sync from "auto connecting" to Sync, disabling the sync of tabs alone isn't enough.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config <br />
    Double-click this pref to toggle it, then restart Firefox. <br />
    '''services.sync.autoconnect''' to '''false'''
    Then grab the Sync icon from the Customize Palette and use that to do a manual sync.

  • Resetting master password at login?

    Lately I've been noticing that when logging into our SnowLeopard miniserve after "fat-fingering" the password once, I am prompted to reset the Master Password. When doing this you are also informed that the keychain will be updated. Is there a system level setting that is causing this? It doesn't seem like you should have to reset the Master Password/keychain after one failed attempt to log into the system...? Your thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Hopefully some screenshots will be useful here. After one failed log in attempt you see this:
    Then, after entering the correct password you see this:
    Once you "OK" here, you get the following:
    So, you're essentially resetting the "ServerAdmin" password but why? After only one failed attempt? Also, here are the FileVault settings:

    1)Your going to have to go to the manufacture's website for the orginal password. Once you have that you will have to setup you network again.
    2)After your network is setup again you will go to general setting menu on the ATV. Select the Network option then Configure Wifi option. It will take a momment and load all the WIFI networks in you area.  Once you selected your network, it will prompt you to enter the password.
