As DBA, how to know user's password without changing it?
HI,
a quick question,
how do I know user's password?
I mean I don't need to use 'alter user identified by new_password.'
just want to know current user's password, is there a quick way???
thanks a lot
Not sure what the intention is but it is possible to change a users password and and then change it back to what it was originally, without knowing what it ever was.
select username, password from dba_users;
make note of the encrypted password.
Now change the password to something else
alter user <username> identified by <new_password>;
Connect as that user, do whatever etc.
Now, to change it back
alter user <username> identified by values '<original_password>';
Note the single quotes.

3. or You mean how to use user & password to login to doc on workspace
Answer for 1:
use link
http://HyperServer:45000/workspace/browse/get/MyFolder/MyIR.bqy?user=admin&pass=password
Answer for 2:
a) Upload or import connection file ( MyConn.oce ) to DB2 into workspace,
b) for IR doc properties change file connection ( MYConn.oce )
Answer for 2:

I have forgotten my Password to be able to connect between my desktop Mac and Mac Book on my home network. How can I recover the password or change it?
The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password

In Lion, how would a user REPAIR disk without a disk to boot from?
In Lion, how would a user REPAIR Disk without a disk to boot from? It's cool to download Lion from App Store, but I think they need to solve how they will repair disk without optical disk to boot from. I have had to repair disk in with the disk utility around 5-10 times in the past.

Well it should be stupid, but people do it anyway not realizing it's importance later when something goes wrong.

That does confuse the issue, a bootable DVD is for installing the operating system after a hard drive replacement, which also will include the recovery partition.
Recovery parititions are a great idea for Windows as it fails often, but hard drives fail more often in Mac's than the operating system. -
How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing
I have been trying to stop the SP farm account, spfarm, from password changing. SharePoint Central Administration is used and I go to Central Security -> Configure managed accounts. I set spfarm not to change but it makes no difference.
It still changes. When that happens it screws up the SharePoint VSS Writer service account and backups fail (the password synch script has to run to fix). When the setting in SP CA is changed to allow password changes, the SharePoint VSS Writer
service account still has a problem and backups fail.
Additionally, I have run the two below scripts when necessary to try to correct the problem and it works until the password changes again. It seems as though the password changes whenever the server restarts or at least once every week or so.
Can anyone help me with this? I don't care if the password changes on a schedule as long as it doesn't cause the SharePoint VSS Writer service to fail during backup.
Repair-SPManagedAccountDeployment (This checks synch of passwords)
set-spmanagedAccount -UseExistingPassword
This is on a Windows Small Business Server 2011, which runs SharePoint 2010.
TonyHi Tony,
In SBS 2011, use 3 different accounts to run Windows SharePoint Foundation. The accounts are spfarm (SharePoint
Farm Account), spsearch, and spwebapp. For security reasons the passwords on these accounts are periodically reset. The password for spfarm is reset every 7 days that the Windows SBS Manager service is running.

How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing
I will suggest that set the password expiry to be longer (such as: a month or 365 days or even more) and apply
it. Maybe a workaround.
By the way, the Windows SBS Manager service manages the spfarm account. This spfarm account will be found under
MyBusiness-> Users-> SBS Users in ADUC. If you navigate to the spfarm account in ADUC and open the Properties of it, then select
“Password never expires” under Account options in Account tab. Please check if this can help you to achieve target.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

I've forgotten my administrator password and can't download software. can anyone advise how to reset a new password without having the original?
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
command line:
/sbin/fsck -yf
If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
mount -uw /
cd /private/var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb local.old
rm ../.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed. -
She has never synced her ipod touch to iTunes, any suggestions of how to get around the password without deleting everything she has on the device? Apple support recommended recovery mode, but doesn't that erase everything on the ipod?
You are out of luck but a Date Recovery company may be able to help if the iPod does not have iOS 8.
If there is an iCloud backup you can restore from that.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail. I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails. I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?). How do I change my Mail password without having my old one? Are there some security questions I can answer to do this? Heeeeelp please.
Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application. -

How to reset user and password on MacBook Pro without CD
I recently bought a MacBook Pro, 15" with Lion on Ebay.
There are times when I am asked for a password. I have asked the person who I bpught it from, but he does not remember.
I do not have the original disk, so I need a method to reset the user and password.
ThanksThank you for your input.
I received an e-mail from a computer tech that thought the following would work; please let me know what you think:
ResetLion password with Single User mode
Anyone running Mac OS X Lion cantake advantage of this method:
Shut down your Mac and turn it back on while holding down the Command and S keys at the same time until your see a black screen with white text. This is known as Single User mode.
You can skip this step, but it’s recommended that you don’t because it will check the consistency of your hard drive. At the prompt, type fsck -fy and press Enter.
Once the disk check is complete and the prompt returns, type mount -uw / and press Enter.
Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist and press Enter.
Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t know or remember what these are.
Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password while replacing username with one of the users displayed in the previous step and replacing password with the new password of your choice. Press Enter. You will likely get an error message about a file or directory not being found – it’s safe to ignore this.
Type reboot and press Enter.
