  • Can't install because of Administrator Password not working

    Hi--I can't install anything because my administrator password is not accepted. I get a message that says something like this software requires Administrator or higher level privileges. I've checked it under "Accounts" in System Preferences. I've even changed it there, then changed it back, and I still get the same message. Help!! Janet

    First off, what OS version are you running?
    Second, are you saying that the installer application or something else is rejecting your password, or doesn't give you an opportunity to enter it? Where are you trying to install something, & what is it?
    You should see a dialog box asking for your password with info about what app is asking for authentication, or at least be able to tell us what app is running (from its name appearing next to the Apple logo in the menu bar).
    Depending on your situation, a permissions repair in Disk Utility may help.

    Logon the computer and use the internal structure to set a password.

    Hi Ronny.
    Where is your UME running? On the java engine, on an ABAP system or at a LDAP?
    What i want to say is that your user has to gain the rights to connect to the SLD. Easiest way is to give you admin rights - to do that you have to know where your userstore is running....
    I am not sure if this is correct http://localhost:50000/sld
    Normally it should look like http://my.sap.com/56600/sld where my.sap.com is a fqdn and 56600 is the port of the java engine. 66 ist the system number of the as java.
    ZBAPI? I do not really know but i think you have to use a jco to connect...
    regards,

    Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.

  • Wifi password not working on MacBook Pro

    Wifi password not working
    I got a MacBook Pro today. The previous owner had Apple wipe it clean for the new owner, me. When I first tried putting my wifi password in, I wasn't remembering exactly what it was, so I tried many different possibilities. Since then, I found my password in my office. I put it in, when it asked for it. But, it's not taking it. It just says searching for networks. And, this is after I identified the correct network. So, I am wondering if perhaps after a number of "tries" does it not accept ANY further attempts ? You know like Banking passwords....you get locked out. I'm wondering if I'm locked out? 

    No, not like a bank timeout.
    Open keychain in your Utilities Folder and look for old router password, or delete wrong passwords.
    You can always reset your router password to something new that you can remember.

  • Password not working, reset and not working again ...

    Hi I have had nothing but problems today I think my account has been hacked.  Couldn't log in to Skype on PC or iPad kept saying my password was incorrect, though same password I have always had.  I changed my password by having Skype send me a new one to my email.  I activated it and created new password and all good.  IN the middle of a call it shut down suddenly and when I tried to log on again, it said it didn't recognise the password I only just created that had worked already.  Kept trying and still nothing. So I went to create a THIRD password and now skype is saying my email address doesn't exist.  I have had this account for years and they only just sent me a new password to that email address so it certainly does exist.  Left for a few hours and now tried again and it says i have tried too many times today.  I have actually tried to create  new account to be able to use skype.  Can anyone explain what is happening? I am currently scanning for viruses but i really want to be able to use my old account with all my contacts on it rather than start from scratch!  My mother in law is having the same problem with her account so I wonder if it's a virus??  At the same time I have started receiving a bunch of emails from 'skype' in Chinese so I assume this is connected somehow?  Please any ideas on how to fix this?! 

    Have received numerous of the following:  also my account isn't working, passwords not working, can't access anything.  I think it's been hacked.  It is now not even recognising my email address.  Please advise how to fix.  Please note I did not follow any links in any of these emails that have been sent to me.

  • Ios 8 restrictions password not working

    Ios 8 restrictions password not working .... But 'am sure i didnt forget it !! ....what shall i do ?!!

    Howdy Kanfoud,
    If the iPhone isn't accepting the Restrictions passcode (which can differ from the normal access passcode), you'll need to restore the device.
    If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you'll need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • Apple password not working in iCloud since I updates my email address. Still lists my old email but doesn't accept old password. How do I access?

    Apple password not working in iCloud since I updates my email address. Still lists my old email but doesn't accept old password. How do I access the cloud?

    To change the iCloud ID ("email") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Change User password not working in SAP ME 6.0

    Hi,
    In SAP ME 6.0 SP01 6.0.1.0 Counter 40, the activity "Change User Password" does not work for me or any other user.
    The activity window (Netweaver) shows, but in the top it says "An error occurred - contact system administrator".
    This is the output from the default trace file. Seems my user is not authorized, but where do I set this authorization?

  • Windows 7 deployment- Local Admin password not working, no way to assign domain admins

    I have SCCM 2012 configured for OS deployment of a Windows 7 64x enterprise image. I am using boot media (cd) since PXE boot was not an option in this office. Deployment seems to work fine except that despite selecting "Enable the account and specify
    the local administrator password" I cannot login to the imaged system as Administrator. I tried several different passwords, and leaving the password field blank. Because of this I cannot add the domain admins as local admins and thus I cannot change
    any major settings on the PC. I have created multiple task sequences, redeployed the source files, tried two different machines (a desktop and a laptop) and have disabled or adjusted just about every part of the task sequence at least once.
    I'm pasting a recent SMSTS.log file, though it has an error 0x80070002 error in it I am not sure if this is related.
    Any suggestions on how to remedy this issue, or workarounds to assign local admins would be helpful. I have already tried adding in some command lines like "cmd /c net localgroup administrators /add "etoo\Administrators" and "cmd /c net
    localgroup administrators /add "localhost\username"" to various points in the sequence without any success.

    I suspect that your keyboard layout isn't configured correctly so that's why your "Enable the account and specify the local administrator password" doesn't work, check the keyboard layout on the login screen of the client you're trying to log in to...
    There are several ways of adding local admins to the client during  OS deployment:
    "Apply the windows settings" -task sequence step
    unattend.xml (http://sybaspot.com/the-complete-guide-to-preparing-a-windows-7-deployment-image-using-audit-mode-and-sysprep-with-an-unattend-xml-answer-file/)
    "Run a commandline" -task sequence step, after the Setup Windows & ConfigMgr step (cmd /c net localgroup "Administrators" "domain\user" /add)
    And after OS deployment:
    Restricted groups group policy (http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles-tutorials/windows_os_security/Using-Restricted-Groups.html)
