Buyer requesting username and password after I performed factory reset.  Possible scam?

So on my iphone 4s operating iOS 7, I performed a factory reset using itunes.  I then sold my phone to someone online, and they are now asking me for a username and password to unlock the phone.  I thought that factory resetting would clear out all data? Is it possible he legitimitely needs my usename and password after a factory reset?
Do you think the buyer is scamming me?  Should I give him my username and password?

It does not. They need your Apple ID and password to use the phone. If Find My Phone is turned on then you can remotely erase the phone so it will restore as New. You would do this by logging into icloud.com with your Apple ID and password. Click on the Find My Phone icon. Then select your device under the Apple Devices list. When selected a small window dialog opens. Click on the Erase iPhone link.

  • Requests username and password to something

    There is a huge problem all of a sudden, and it occurs on almost every website I go on, as far as I know it's on wesbites where you are have the option to log in. I'm not sure. I get a Safari popup message :
    *To view this page, you need to log in to area "jnb-opteqcache04.iburst.co.za Cache Authentication" on images.intellitxt.com:80. Your password will be sent in the clear.*
    After that there are the fields for the username and password. I have no idea what made this happen, I was normally browsing on last.fm and this appeared. This is on Safari 3.2.2 but I tried the 4.0 beta and it happened there too. If I press Cancel it appears again and again and again. I don't want to enter any passwords before I know what this problem is, and where will the info go and for what do I need to enter it for? I've Googled the problem, and it appears it only happens in Safari but can't find much about it.

    The problem has been cleared up, no idea how but its all been working smooth for a few months now.

  • IPad won't remember usernames and passwords after iOS 7 upgrade?

    Ever since I upgraded I have to re-enter my password and username on all of my sites.  They would remember me before.  I do not have this problem on my iPhone just my ipad.  Any suggestions?

    Just login to Amazon, Netflix and other sites in Safari. For each site after I entered the username and password, then after I pressed the "Log In" button, a pop-up message box appears:
                                  Save This Password?
                          You can view and remove saved
                           passwords in the Passwords &
                         AutoFill section of Safari settings
                                       Save Password
                                  Never for This Website
                                             Not Now
    This pop-up message is new after the iOS 7 upgrade that just started to appearing in the last few hours.

  • Users prompted for username and password after sharing removed from servers

    Hello Community
        On Sharepoint 2010 Server using the UI in a 2 server farm with an intranet running on it and everything functions as it should.  However it was noticed that from a users computer when in "Windows Explorer" if "Network"
    is clicked the 2 servers are visible.
        The problem is that when the server are clicked on in Windows Explorer the files and folders on the hard drive of the servers are visible too.
        Subsequently I logged onto the server and when into "Properties' - "Sharing" and
    unchecked the checkbox to "Share this folder".
        That solved the problem of the users being able to see and access the files
    and folders on servers hard drives but now when the users log onto the intranet
    they are prompted for a user name and password and even when they provide the user
    name and password and the page is returned the prompt appears on the screen again(then they cancel out).
        What can be done about the user being prompted for username and password without sharing the drives on the servers ?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    What exactly was shared out from the SharePoint server's file system? There are certain things that are shared by default.

  • Firefox forgets usernames and passwords after shutting down the computer.

    I've reset all settings, cleared cache, cookies, etc. I also removed and reinstalled Firefox but it still forgets.

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

  • Took my G4 out of attic to give to needy. Forgot username and password. How can I reset both?  Thanks

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Reset password with OS X disc:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1274
    Change the password without disc:
    http://gigaom.com/apple/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
    After that, create a new user account with administrative privleges and then delete the old user account.
    Make sure to copy any data from the old account that you may want, as afterwards it won't be accessible.
    Or, use the OS install discs to erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS.

  • How to supply username and password for consuming webservice in BizTalk Adaptor?

    While I hit the web service directly , I am able get response from that service, it asked for username and password, after that it processed the request and gave expected output. I am trying to consume the same web service (https) from BizTalk orchestration
    ,  it created message type , port type, binding for me , all fine, but while sending message to the webservice , it throws error like this 
    <SOAP-ENV:Fault xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wd="urn:com.abc/bsvc">
    <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client.authenticationError</faultcode>
    <faultstring>invalid username or password</faultstring>
    </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
    I have given username and passoword in port level. I tried basic binding, I also tried wcf_basic binding , but no luck. These bindings were generated by wizard only, I Imported those bindings , ports got created, I just added username and password in the
    port level.
    How should I supply username and password in BizTalk to get this working ? Any inputs would be greatly appriciated
    Regards
    Vivek

    Hi,
    the way to resolve this is to write a Wcf Custom Behavior.
    Several people have blogged about this and Microsoft have written some articles:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/627.using-custom-behaviors-with-the-biztalk-wcf-adapters-part-2.aspx
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc952299(v=bts.10).aspx
    The articles are old so you need to verify they still apply.

  • Logging into a previously working website with same username and password

    I am now unable to log into a previously used website for work after I cleared safari's history and website data. I am using the same username and password as previously performed before it was cleared. I am able to log in on my desktop at work using the same username and password. How do I fix?

    Although LiveCycle will allow you to create two users with the same user ID (each in different domains) it is not recommended for the reson you are experiencing.  The domain is not used in the authentication, LiveCycle attempts to authenticate with the first user id it locates that matches the supplied user id.
    In your example, The first instance of "user1" that LiveCycle is finding happens to be part of "Domain1", this is why SecuredDoc1.pdf can be opened and SecuredDoc2.pdf can't be opened (the user1 that is a member of the policy applied to the second document is not the user that has been authenticated).
    You need to keep all user ids unique.

  • OSS Username and Password

    Hello,
    it is required username and password while using OSS on Service.sap.com. I save my username and password after first login, but while advancing it again requires username and password:( Is there anyone knowing the reason of this? and what is the solution? thanks in advance...
    Regards
    ismail KARAYAKA

    Just one extra thing not mentioned in here - bear in mind that SAP.COM runs on multiple servers and you have to have your ID saved for each server if you do not use the passport method as the other replies recommend (I agree - best method!) .
    However eventually if you continue to enter in your userid and password each time and save each time, all the servers will recognise you and it will prefill them for you!!
    BUT use the passport method - much easier...
    Regards

  • Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows) does not remember ftp username and password

    I have seen this problem mentioned in other threads concerning Mac instalations of Dreamweaver, but this is a Windows installation. I recently installed DW CS5, and it refuses to remember the ftp username and password after I quit the program and restart it later. This was never a problem with CS3. It is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?

    OK, got it fixed. Even though it said it was pointed to the correct directory in "local site folder" I picked it again and then it said something like "rebuilding cache". and it worked.
    Thanks!

  • Problems with setting first username and password

    I haven't used a cisco router in over 12 years, so I'm a bit rusty.  I had to replace a nortel box for a small charter school here in Hawaii, so I decided to go with a cisco 1941 / K9 router. using a usb terminal connection I started up the router as directed in the PDF documentation for this box.  It warned me that I must change the starting username and password (<cisco> and <cisco> respectively) with my own username and password.  I wanted to change this to <cisco1> and a simple password.  I thought I followed the directions, but I failed to reset the user name and password.  As I was looking up online for help on how to set a new username and password, the terminal window timed-out and now I can't log in to the 1941 router at all.
    How do I reset the router?  Once I do how do I correctly setup  username and password after I login once with cisco and cisco?
     Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm attaching a screen capture of the terminal window...

    How do I reset the router?
    Power OFF the router.
    If you look at the back (where the power button is) and to the lower left-hand corner, you'll observe two CF slots.  Pop the cover open and eject the CF. 
    Power up the router.  
    Observe the console terminal and when you see "rommon1>" enter the command "confreg 2142".  
    After the command has been accepted, insert the CF back and reboot the router.  
    Your router should boot into factory default (Username & Password are "cisco") but the config-registry value is still 2102.  
    Do the following:
    ​conf t
    config-registry 0x2102
    username BLAH password BLAH
    end

  • ILM assistant XDB username and password not working

    Hi All,
    Hi I'm using ILM 1.3 with Oracle 11g on HP.
    I am able to log-in to apex server but not ILM assistant.
    http://dblxamd02.vxindia.veritas.com:8080/apex/apex_admin it works with admin/oracle.
    But im not able to login to http://dblxamd02.vxindia.veritas.com:8080 when it asks for XDB username and password.
    I tried to reset the password using apxxepwd.sql but not luck.
    Did anybody observer this issue ? if so can somebody please reply me ASAP ?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are two wats to install the ILM toolkit:
    1) Directly on the server where your instance is located. In this case you do not need to provide a TNS connection name. Therefore, you would execute the script as follows:
    @ilma_install.sql pune
    2) Remotely from a client. In this case you do need to provide a connection string to your remote database instance. Therefore, you would execute the script as follows:
    @ilma_install.sql pune@11
    in this scenario the connection details are derived from your TNSNAMES.ORA file. If you have multiple Oracle products installed you have multiple copies of this file and it can be difficult to track down which file is being used. To point to a specific TNSNAMES.ORA I normally set three parameters:
    ORACLE_HOME - points to your 11g Client installation directory
    PATH - point this to the Oracle home containing SQLPlus, usually this is ORACLE_HOME/bin
    TNS_ADMIN = ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
    then make sure the TNSNAMES.ORA contains a reference to your identifier "11". You can test the connection by using the TNSPING utility that is part of the 11g client installation. The format for your instance would be:
    TNSPING 11
    this will tell you if you can connect to your instance. If there are any issues check the connection via the Net Configuration Assistant, or you can edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file directly via Notepad.
    Hope this helps
