Can not change root password for WCS

Need to change the root password for the web gui.
WCS is running on linux, i have tried to do the passwd user-root but it cames back saying it can not find the username.

Alex
You could use the recovering password procedure for wcs as a workaround (chapter 14 of the following link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/7.0/configuration/guide/WCS70cg.html )
Recovering the WCS Password
You can change the WCS application root user or FTP user password. This option provides a safeguard if you lose the root password. An executable was added to the installer /bin directory (passwd.bat for Windows and passwd.sh for Linux). Follow these steps to recover the passwords and regain access to WCS. For password recovery on a wireless location device, refer to chapters 8 or 9 of the Cisco 2700 Series Location Appliance Configuration Guide.
Note If you are a Linux user, you must be the root user to run the command.
Step 1 Change to the WCS bin folder.
Step 2 Perform one of the following:
Enter passwd root-user newpassword to change the WCS root password. The newpassword is the root login password you choose.
or
Enter passwd location-ftp-user newuser newpassword to change the FTP user and password. The newuser and newpassword are the FTP user and password you choose.
Step 3 The following options are available with these commands:
•-q — to quiet the output
•-pause — to pause before exiting
•-gui — to switch to the graphical user interface
•-force — to skip prompting for configuration
Step 4 Start WCS.

    My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

  • I can not find the password for my keychain

    I can nor remember the password for my local keychain. How do i change this?
    Thanks.

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Follow the directions in this support article.
    Step 2
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the iCloud keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    Step 3
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
    Step 4
    Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
    Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
    Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
    You can then close the folder.
    Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
    Select
    File ▹ Add Keychain...
    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
    Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.

  • DESPERATE FOR HELP since downloading a separate outlook (from fast hosts) as addition to office mac 11 I can no longer access any Microsoft aps or documents including outlook - error messages 'can not change to identity for outlook'

    I had office 2011 installed on my computer without outlook - been working fine.
    I was given a trial of outlook decided against it at time due to cost - however my server provider fasthost have been offering outlook for free with a busines mail package. Trying to install it wouldn't due to the trail versions - so they gave me a step by step guide to remove outlook files.
    Once i completed this the new outlook worked fine for 24 hours - however then we noticed all of our office programmes had been removed aka can not access any data and we are a management consultancy. Then fasthost recommended we reinstall out orginal office CD which I did and then all of sudden when download was completed everything now is inaccessable.
    When I open outlook the message relays ' can not change to that idenity' I have tried to set up a new idenity and change permissions and even rebuilding it as per on line guides but when rebuilding it fails at the first step
    Rest of office IE WORD, EXCEL I just get microsforft has encountered a problem and needs to close unexpectidly everytime I try and click into it.
    I am now despirate as this is the second day we have had no access to anything and 6 day we have had no access to our documents \
    FASTSHOST do everything via email and no incoming phone line (which they will give anyway) so I really need help
    Any options advice greatly recieved
    I am also using the most recent software and have been doing regular software updates OS X Lion.

    I, too am wondering if it's the download site. I am not aware of any way to download Outlook Mac 2011 alone from any site including Microsoft's.
    It is common for unscrupulous sites to offer desirable but pirated software for a modest price, but serve it up with a dose malware. They get you money, possible a credit card number, your e-mail, your IP address, and all you get is pain.
    There was an "Outlook Express" for Mac that was freely distrubuted but I'll pretty sure that it never ran natively under OSX. The first OSX native version fo Office:Mac was Office X, and it introduced Entourage as the Mac mail client.
    IF Fast Hosts is your ISP, I'd certainly talk to them to figure out what you downloaded.

  • How can i change a password for network users?

    Good day. I have a problem with changing passwords on server Yosemite. As i understand there is no way to change password for the network users remotely. I mean, when for example someone will change his password and then will forgot it how can i change it? When i open a server manage program and go to the "Users" and than open a setting for the user - "Change Password..." is not clickable.

    Hi Dcp24,
    If you are having issues resetting a user's account password on your server, you may find the information in the following article helpful (article is aimed at Mavericks, but the steps should be similar in Yosemite):

  • 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.

  • Why I can not reset my password for my apple ID?

    I restored my iphone 4s but i can not activate my iphone because aasking me for the id apple. I went to the webpage i select resert my passowrd via e mail i received the e mail but when i selected resert my password nothing comes up the webpage is blank??? any ideas what happened or do i need to contact apple to ask to esent a temporaly password via e mail?
    Message was edited by: hectorsanki

    This usually means that the appleid is not there anymore.
    By this I mean you may have changed it unknowningly
    If you had a non email address username and have edited you account recently more than likely it has updated your apple id to that email address (user login).
    Or you have changed your prmiary email address and it has now changed your apple id to that as you login username.

  • How can I change the password for my access to using firefox?

    Answers deny there is any password -- however, now and then I am asked to confirm that I am the person identified on the MY Yahoo -- I am asked for a username and password.
    An example is when I change computers and Yahoo or Mozilla does not recognize the new computer.
    I do not understand -- yes normally, I simply open the browser and use it. BUT!!!
    I am probably using the wrong jargon for what I want to change.

    hello, yahoo will log you out after 2 weeks for security purposes - it might also recognize when you access your yahoo account through a different device & ask for authentication again. this is all determined on the server-side by yahoo, so firefox can't influence such behaviour...

  • Can not change genre info for my apps

    I noticed that iTunes 9.2.1 has assigned a genre to my Apps and this allows me to sort them which is good. What is bad is that some of the applications have been assigned the wrong genre and when I go to change it, it isn't possible to do so.
    Anyone else having the same problem ?
    Note that I don't have this problem with Music, Books or Video as some others have reported. Just with Apps.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated !

    Originally my daughter-in-law used her credit card to pay for a year for me. Then I cancelled it because it wouldn't work with an adapter and the Skype phone echoed so bad no one wanted to talk to me. Now it logs me on with her name. I asked how to change it....forget it no answer. Now it added people from Facebook that I didn't want and I cant remove them. This tells me I might want to pay for Ooma instead when I decide which long distance service I want.
