Adding account unlock to the password reset process

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the processing which takes place on the password reset page?
We have a problem with users locking their accounts with invalid passwords they then reset their password but still cant login as their account is locked. Is there any way to unlock their user account at the same time as resetting their password?
Im guessing I need to plug in a call to BAPI_USER_UNLOCK somewhere in the logon par file but where? I doesn't seem to be structured in the same way as a normal par file.
Anyone one got any ideas or links?
Thanks,
Justin

Hello Justin,
Actually the resetting of the password and the unlocking of user account are an all together different functionality.
See the resetting of password is done by the user itself or by an administrator .
But the unlocking of an account is always performed by user administrator.
and more over giving an option of unlocking an account itself to the end user is not a very good idea from a security perspective.
Thanks and Regards
Pradeep

A forgotten iCloud password as above can go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the same ID they use for iCloud to enter the password reset process.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

I reset my IPAD password but the verification email wasn't sent to my primary or secondary email address. Without the verification email I can't complete the password change process. Any recommendations?

Great tip from dorothy. Also, some isp services are more aggressive from others in filtering what they think might be spam. You might check your spam file from a computer, and see if the verification e mails are sitting there. When i wen through the process, the verification e mail came to the new e mail address in under a couple of minutes.

My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.

I am having trouble, my icloud is using an old Apple ID, and i can no longer access that email account, or know the password to that, how do i switch it?

Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

I'm trying to reset my password, but the password reset doesn't seem to be going to my email inbox.

I'm a bit concerned because the message from Mozilla tells me that the password reset was sent and I have only six hours to use it.

Account services, I assume. I'm needing to link a new computer so that I can sync it to my others. When I tried to sign in, my password wasn't accepted. I went the "reset password" route, and Mozilla claimed that the password reset was sent to my inbox, but it's been a while, and nothing has arrived, yet.

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Unable to see the "Password Reset" tab in Indentity Store (SAP IDM 7.1)

I am trying to implement Password self-service as per the document "SAP NewWeaver Idenitty Management Identity Center Self-service password reset Implementation Guide" Version 7.1 Rev 2. In this guide, references are made to the Password Reset Tab in the Identity Store properties view in Identity Center. I do not see that tab in my view.
I followed the standard inst guides during the upgrade. Its a fresh implementation and we are on IDM 7.1 SP5
I have checked out couple of similar posts where it was resolved by installing SP3/4, does anyone have any other solution than applying the SP again ??
What do I need to do to have that tab?
Thanks

Matt,
Ours is a fresh installation
According to the PSS 7.1 V2 guide, i completed the section 1 where i creted the UME roles and the
Section 1: Creating the tasks
Creating the folder for the tasks
Creating the password reset task
Creating the password reset failed task
Then started the Section 2 Configuring the identity store and the first point the document says is "Select the identity store in the console tree and choose the "Password reset" tab: " which i am unable to see the tab in my system.
I am i missing some config steps here ? again i am just goin line - by - line what the doc says
Thanks

Please be aware that you cannot "buy some additional GB to [your] iPad"; the storage capacity of the iPad is fixed at the time of manufacture. You can buy additional iCloud storage, but that's not the same thing.

Setting up a new email account on mail, the password is entered for connecting to the in

Assuming that in this day and age you want security.
Setting up a new email account on mail, the password is entered for connecting to the in & outgoing servers before SSL is set. Before you can set SSL, mail connects to the servers so email password is transmitted unencrypted?
This seems a very obvious quirk/bug and something that I have always felt uncomfortable about.
Anyone else think this is not a good thing?

Actually it look like all apple devices have the same mail setup procedure, so are your email passwords all being sent over the network in plain text before you get the chance to set the SSL option?
Any security experts care to comment.

Allow Anonymous Access to the Password Reset Portal

How do I go about enabling Anonymous Access to the Password Reset Portal?
The following instructions don't seem accurate anymore. Has this setting changed with Sharepoint Services 3.0 SP2?
When I click on "Settings" in Step 4 the only option displayed is "Permission Levels".
Allow Anonymous Access to the password reset portal
In this procedure you will configure the portal to allow Anonymous Access to users who need to reset their passwords.
To allow anonymous access to the password reset portal
Log on to the password portal (http://<portal hostname/PasswordPortal) as an administrator.
On the top right hand side of the portal homepage click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
Under Users and Permissions click Advanced Permissions.
On the Permissions page, click Settings, and then select Anonymous Access.
Under Anonymous users can access, select Entire Web site, and then click OK.

Yes, that was very helpful. Thanks!
Just in case that site dissapears and someone else needs this info, here it is:
If you don’t see the “Anonymous Access” menu option in the “Settings” menu, it might not be turned on in Central Admin/IIS. You can manually navigate to “_layouts/setanon.aspx” if you want, but the options will be grayed out if it hasn’t been enabled in IIS
First get to your portal. Then under “My Links” look for “Central Administration” and select it.
In the Central Administration site select “Application Management” either in the Quick Launch or across the top tabs
Select “Authentication Providers” in the “Application Security” section
Click on the “Default” zone (or whatever zone you want to enable anonymous access for)
Under “Anonymous Access” click the check box to enable it and click “Save”
NOTE: Make sure the “Web Application” in the menu at the top right is your portal/site and not the admin site.
You can confirm that anonymous access is enabled by going back into the IIS console and checking the Directory Security properties.
Now the second part is to enable anonymous access in the site.
Return to your sites home page and navigate to the site settings page. In MOSS, this is under Site Actions – Site Settings – Modify All Site Settings. In WSS it’s under Site Actions – Site Settings.
Under the “Users and Permissions” section click on “Advanced permissions”
On the “Settings” drop down menu (on the toolbar) select “Anonymous Access”
Select the option you want anonymous users to have (full access or documents and lists only)
Now users without logging in will get whatever option you allowed them.
A couple of notes about anonymous access:
You will need to set up the 2nd part for all sites unless you have permission inheritance turned on
You must do both setups to enable anonymous access for users, one in IIS and the other in each site
