Admin password failure

Don't know whether anyone has come across this but...
This morning I restarted our RAID server as there seemed to be a problem with access. When I attempted to log in as admin, the password I have been using since it was set up suddenly wouldn't work. No one's been near the machine, nothing's changed, but all of sudden the password just won't work. I can get in to the HD itself but not to the server part which means I can't do any back ups or any admin tasks or housekeeping.
Can anyone help me out here?

Are you refering to accessing the xRAID through the RAID Admin utiltiy? You could thy using the default monitoring password "public" or the default management password "private".

  • CMC Admin Change Password failure

    Hi,
    Login into CMC for Administrator BOXI3.1 is no longer possible. The Administrator was given 'User must change password at next logon'.
    The logon for an Administrator in a new session is ok. But password change in the subsequent screen fails with msg "You do not have permission to perform the requested action. Please contact the system administrator for details. Please re-enter your password."
    There is only one Administrator in BOXI3.1. Please suggest a solution if any. Is there any reset password script on the command prompt?
    Regards,
    Neonevin.

    Look at the post below  for a workaround on how to reset the admin password to a blank password (Use at own risk)

  • My brand new Mac ProBook keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player

    My brand new Mac ProBook (OSX Mavericks 10.9.4) keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player and also when I try to set up adding my printer. The problem is that when I initially set up this new laptop--I opted to not have any password upon login. So what is my admin password that it keeps requesting??--that "I" did not create??

    I have heard that Adobe Flash Player and Apple OS & iOS do NOT care much for each other.
    Now half of Youtube videos would NOT play and many websites would NOT show on my Mac computer.
    This is absolutely rediculous!
    Because of the unfair monopoly, I have switched from Microsoft Windows PC to Apple Mac system a few years ago.
    Is it a MUST and worthy for corporations to compete each other by screwing up customers like this?
    What a shame!
    Big things have small beginnings and so do big failures!
    I think I will delay the idea of buying any more OS or iOS products until I can easily watch all the Youtube videos and browse all the websites!

  • V240 cannot set admin password.

    After installing a new motherboard in a V240 system, I started up the system.
    It got to the SC> prompt. Now any command such as console -f
    or resetsc gives me an error saying that the admin password is not set and to set it.
    So I enter a password and reconfirm it.
    But then when I try any other command again, it does the same thing "admin password is not set, to set it now"
    I think the password I enter is valid as it contains letters and numbers and is long enough. It also doesn't tell me that its not valid. After confirming the password, the system waits for about 2 seconds and then goes back to the sc> prompt.
    anybody know what the problem could be?

    After switching the SCC card, I was able to set the admin password and use commands in the sc> such as poweroff/poweron.
    However when I do poweron, the system says something like 'hard disk failure' for all the disks.
    I don't understand why its doing this. After rebooting the machine, again i was having problem.
    It got to a login prompt. I entered 'admin' but the password previously set doesn't work. I don't know anymore if its hardware or software issue.
    There are no users created in the sc> because I was unable to because of the initial problem I had were the password would be accepted but wouldn't work.
    This is a brand new motherboard just installed so everything is fresh (default).

  • Unable to install "Mavericks" as it asks for my 'Admin Password" and it does not work. Have not used it since I got my iMac in 2008. First upgrade to do so. Any solutions please?

    I have a 2008 iMac which had Leopard initially and I have upgraded to each new OS without a hitch. I downloaded "Mavericks" and began the install, it asked me for my "Admin Password" which I have never ever used since I set the Mac up, I have it safely tucked away so entered it, it rejected it each time. Am sort of lost now, as if my "Admin P/W" does not work here can I go from here?
    I have seen many others with this problem but so far most of the solutions seem to be for the "log in" or "User" password not the Admin one.
    I am running Mountain Lion successfully.
    I have my original disks as supplied and also a Snow Leopard install disk.
    I have seen some info about fixing this via Lion Recovery partition which I must have due to using Mt Lion.
    How can I repair this situation.
    Thank you to all those who respond.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have visited both the sites you listed but it seems to me that the solutions mentioned are to fix the User or log in p/w's.They do not seem to refer to the admin one again.
    I understand about it being just like other user accts but the fixes do not really refer to it only the above two.
    I have no problem booting up my Mac, I do not use a log in p/w so my problem is with the Admin p/w that was set up back in 2008. This is what I need to reset etc.
    I am quite confused over these pw's as to just what is what and I need to make sure I understand all before I get into deeper trouble following these links.
    This Admin p/w that was set up has never been used and is the only p/w I have except for my Apple ID. All previous upgrades only required my user name log in which has no p/w set up.
    I hope you can follow me here butI have read so much on this it is becoming very confusing about whcih p/w's are what.

  • Can anyone help.  For security reasons I reset my admin password on my Macbook Pro a few days ago and didn't write it down.  Now I've forgotten it.  I didnt receive an installation disc when I purchased my Macbook Pro online - it didn't come with one-help

    Please see question above, but also note, I have the Applecare Protection Plan but am unable to get through to anyone on a weekend and I desperately need to use my laptop this weekend.  I can't log in at all now as I've forgotten my admin password.  A few weeks ago I also changed the password on my husband's new MacBook Pro and again forgot the password.  I spoke to someone at Apple and they helped me to reset it within minutes, by restarting the computer holding Command+something else (I can't remember what it was). A black screen with writing came up and I had to type in something like "password" (not sure exactly).  Anyway, this was a very quick and efficient process but I didn't write it down unfortunately.  Does anyone out there know what to do?  Thanks in anticipation

  • Admin password won't work to install software

    I'm trying to install Photoshop and when it gets to the point where it asks for the password, I enter it but the password box just disappears for a second and returns asking for the password again.  (I entered it several times with the same result each time.)  I'm certain that I'm entering a valid admin password and that permissions for the applications folder are set to read & write for admin and system.  Just to be sure I tried entering the password incorrectly and the box shook as it normally would when an incorrect password is entered.  Has anyone had a similar problem with Adobe products or installing any other software on Lion? 
    Also, I just installed Adobe Lightroom last night and it worked just fine.  And when I just tried to run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool which also asks for a password and I'm having the same problem.  So I know that it's not just Photoshop but I don't know if it's just something to do with Adobe or maybe all software which requires an admin password to install. 
    Trying to repair permissions and run a virus scan now although I think these two options are unlikely to fix the issue...

    It looks like repairing permissions did the trick.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

  • New MacBook Pro - admin password Help

    There is no start up disk w the new MacBook Pro. I recently changed my admin password when it goes to sleep. Must have hit a wrong key, possible w me....nothing is working.  I have to reset it. I was going to register my Mac, had it for a few days, sending this from my iPad. Please, please help

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    To reset the password, there's a different method in Macs with OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, because you don't need any discs to do it. Follow these steps > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 Note that you will need to create a new keychain after resetting your password

  • Admin Password Change

    After Updating Admin Password Do we need Run Any Other Utility to Sync The Password.
    Thanks

    No, Admin tool is sufficient. Did you change the password in online mode? If you change it in offline mode then you need to restart the BI Server.

  • How to change default admin password on Cisco Aironet 1040

    How do I change the default username and password on the Cisco Aironet 1040. There is a default set and I want to change that to secure the device. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find the directions. Any ideas?

    Hi Brian,
    If this AP is already registered with a WLC then you can change it via WLC.
    In WLC GUI, go to Wireless -> Select the AP -> Credential -> Override Global Credential-> Update username/pw/enable pw
    In WLC CLI, you can configure it like this. If it is for all APs, then select all, otherwise AP name.
    (WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username admin password Cisco123 secret Cisco123 ?
    all            Applies the configuration to every AP that does not have a specific user name.
         Enter the name of the Cisco AP.
    (WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username password secret
    (WLC3) >save config
    Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
    If it is Autonomous AP you can configure using the "username xxxx password xxx" IOS command

  • After recovery, admin password filled in with "dots" and cannot delete or change it

    Hello.
    I ran the Windows 7 updates yesterday, but only the necessary ones.  I did not install any of the optional ones.  After the updates completed, I turned the computer on and it was stuck in a loop cycle - starting windows, then the admin password log in box came up.  The box was fiiled in (with "dots" but too many to represent my password) and the screen just quickly flashed back & forth between the log in screen and "password incorrect".     I tried to switch user, and it flashed back to the admin log in. 
    I did a system recovery to factory defaults (after backing up all data)  using the recovery discs.  After recovery, the "Set a password for account" screen comes up with the box below "Type a password" filled in completely with dots.  I cannot erase them with the backspace or delete keys.  If I highlight it and then try erase it with backspace or delete, the cursor just moves to the right hand side of the password box, but it still doesn't delete the faulty password "dots" so that I can change it. 
    I tried to reboot by holding in the power button and then turning it back on.  After selecting country & language again, the same password screen come up.
    It is stuck!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I computer I have  is the HP TouchSmart 310 PC 1155-Y.
    Thank You!

    That is curious with a Recovery.  First, try to reset the password using NTPassword.  Make the CD, boot to it  following the directions.  If that does not solve the signon problem, consider installing the OS from a regular Windows 7 disk of the same version, using the key from the COA sticker.

  • How do you reset Admin password (when not logged in as Admin)??

    Here's my predicament. I set up 3 accounts on our laptop - one for me and my wife (Standard accounts) and a House Account as the only Admin. Now, I don't remember the password for the House Account, which serves as the Admin.
    I am trying to load new software, but it request administrative privileges. To make matters worse, when I try to install the MAC OSX startup disk (like the help manual says you should to reset the admin password), before my computer will restart the startup disk, it asks me for the Admin password. Because I am not logged in as the Admin, I can't even restart the computer when prompted by the startup and install the OS again.
    Any suggestions or help with this issue?
    Eric

    Did you create an Open Firmware password as well? If not then just insert the OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the 'C' key until the spinning gear appears below the dark gray Apple logo.
