Allowing people to change their password

Hi
I want to allow users to change their password but be
compelled to put in at least eight characters. I'm a regular
expression novice, but I thought this would do it:
<cfinput name="pword"
value="#pword#"
type="password"
required="yes"
size="20"
maxlength="100"
validate="regular_expression"
pattern="[\w][\w][\w][\w][\w][\w][\w][\w]?"
message="your password must be at least seven characters from
A-Z, a-z, @ a dot(.) or 0-9"
label="Password">
However, this allows me to put in just a single character.
Any advice on correcting whatever mistake I've made would be much
appreciated

Your message implies that you are looking for an e-mail
address. If so, don't worry about the 8 character thing.

ISE 1.2 Guest portal user cannot change their passwords

I have a WLC 5508(version 7.6) and a server installed the ISE (version 1.2.1.198)，Now we configured the CWA，Use guest portal as an employee and guest login url，We can use the manually create internal user and password successfully logged in, and we set up allow guest users to change password in Multi-Portal, but the user can not change the password in the guest portal ,I suspect the change password option on the Guest Portal actually works? Can anyone tell me how to change their own username password in the guest portal ?

Requiring Guests to Change Password
You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
Before You Begin
Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
Step 4 Check either or both options:
Allow guest users to change password
Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login
Step 5 Click Save .

DS console operators cannot change their passwords?

I've setup named developer accounts with the operator role, so that (among other things) they can tell who has an object checked out. But it seems that console users cannot change their own passwords: someone with administrator access needs to do it for them? Is that correct? This goes against best practices, where an administrator can reset a password but the user then changes (preferably, the are forced to change it on first logon). If that is the case, hopefully it's addressed in the next release (we are using SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, version: 12.2.3.0).

Allow DB user to change their password

Greetings,
DAD authenticated access to HTMLDB 2.0 on 10gR1 on hpux.
I have built a "account" page where among other things the users can change their passwords, I have built the page over anonymous PL/SQL (below). When a DAD authenticated user runs the page via HTMLDB, they get
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Error. Yet if I copy the PL_SQL as is into sqlplus and bind it... it works like a charm. Any ideas?
the PL/SQL
DECLARE
BEGIN
if (:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1 IS NOT NULL) AND (:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_2 IS NOT NULL) AND (:P17_OLD_PASSWORD IS NOT NULL) THEN
if :P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1 != :P17_NEW_PASSWORD_2 then
raise_application_error(-20300,'New passwords do not match');
end if;
execute immediate 'alter user '||user||' identified by '||:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1||' replace '||:p17_old_password;
htp.p('Password Changed Successfully');
end if; --passwords not null
exception when others then
htp.p('Error changing password:'||sqlerrm);
null;
end;

The application parsing schema (owner) needs ALTER USER privilege. It probably works in SQL*Plus because that schema has obtained the privilege through a role.

In Security, clicking on the "Saved Password" button displays your current saved password for each site. It does not allow you to change a password. How would you do that?

In Security, clicking on the "Saved Password" button displays your current saved password for each site. It only allows you to view and delete site passwords. It does not allow you to change a password. How would you do that?

If you enter a new password Firefox should offer to change the password.
*You may not need to delete the old password. Try "Refreshing" the page, entering the site again, you may need to let Firefox fill in the old password, then enter the new password, and Firefox should ask to save the new password. See:
**http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries
*If you delete the old password, you may need to "Refresh" the site after deleting the old password.
If you want to delete the password that has been saved do the following:
#In the Tools menu select Options to open the options window
#Go to the Security panel
#Click the "Saved Passwords" button to open the passwords manager
#Select the site in the list, then click Remove

How to restrict users cannot change their password

Hi all,
If i logon to E-Business Suite home page, click on the preferences icon on the right hand top corner of the home page, i have an option to change my password.
How will i diable or restrict this such that no users can change their passwords after first time creation.

The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.

I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.

I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.

Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory User can not change their password

Our AD domain already having two domain controllers with windows 2008 (not R2), last week we added one more domain controler with windows 2008 R2 for that we run domain prep and forestprep. After this domain no users can change their password by pressing ALT+CTRL+Del--Change password. Administrators can still reset the password, and if administrator provide the option change password and at next logon, it works, users can reset the password. But after login they can not.
The error telling the new password does not meet length,complexity, history requirements. We are sure their is no Group policy which setting password/account policy. And even we tried to attach a simple password policy domain level with out complexity.
Please provide a feedback..waiting for your response.
Thanks

additional info: up to Server 2008 R2, Windows ONLY supports ONE Password policy PER Domain. (exept: the R2 supports more pw-policies, but not with gpo, it has to be congifured with ADSI-Editor)
So, in case you still use the 2008 / R2 - you Need to know that ;))
regard..
Stephan Ertel - MCITP/MCSA -
From Windows 2008(Non R2) and higher is supported for more than one password policy with fine granted password polcy.DFL should be 2008.

How does a user change their password?

I have been using OS X server to provide, among other things, centralised user accounts, such that any user can logon to any mac on the network by providing mobile accounts. However, if a user wants to change their password, this only appears to affect the local (cached) copy of the account and doesn't appear to change it centrally. i.e. use System Preferences-> Accounts
How does a user change their 'network' password in OS X Server?

There is no inbuilt functionality to change the user password from SharePoint. All user account details need to be managed from AD.

Is Apple asking people to change their Apple i.d Login Password because of the recent issue with the Developer Site ?

Hi Guys & Gals,

You are not allowing me to change my password. Why? What am I doing wrong. I have had the same P/W but recently had my computer worked on so I need help!!

The tech that changed out the boards in my computer failed to transfer this one and now I am attempting to change my password and it is not letting me accomplish it. I have put in my new P/W over and over again and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Not sure who "you" is. Thunderbird is software rubbing on YOUR computer.
You do not change your email password in Thunderbird. You do that at your email provider. Go to your providers web mail or email help page and look for a link to do that.
Once you have a working password that you can remember you need to remove and replace the stored passwords in Thunderbird.
Here are the instructions for removing and replacing the store passwords in Thunderbird.

I had to change my iCloud/iTunes user name and when I go into my iPhone to change it on the iCloud, it only allows me to change the password. How can I change the username?

Do I just need to delete the account and start over? Will I lose info?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
