Can't change password for mobile user on certain client computers
I have a MacBook Pro that has mobile user accounts. The user accounts are defined in the WGM of my macpro Server. The mobile user account works fine except that after some time I could not change the password on the client computer. I could change it in WGM but then it was not updated on the client. I tried changing the password from the SystemPreferences -> Accounts option as well as from the command line with "passwd". When using the command line passwd it just says "sorry". When using the Accounts option it asks to contact the "system manager".
I called Apple Support. They suggested recreating the mobile user account on the client. I did that, and everything worked fine, including changing passwords on the client. But, after several weeks, I again cannot change the password on the client. I can change it in WGM fine, but again the client is not updated.
It seems that the password database on the client gets confused about user password changing privileges after some time.
To make matters more complicated, everything works fine for another client computer, including changing passwords.
Any suggestions?
This problem was related to the case sensitivity of computer names. I had recreated the LDAP binding to the client computer with the computer name in all lower case
characters. However, when I created the mobile user initially, I had used a mix of upper and lower case characters (the name that shows up upon reverse DNS lookup). Once I re-created the LDAP binding with the original name, everthing worked fine.

how to change password for apple user id
If you can't remember your current password then you should be able to get it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you know your current password then on your phone you can try tapping on your id in Settings > Store and you might be able to change it on your account's screen, or on your computer's iTunes you can log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and change it on there -

Two things. First, I'm not exactly sure what password you are trying to
change. The LDAP server's password or a user's password in the LDAP
server. Second, could you please post a stack trace.
Thanks - Neil

This condition based execution requires - javascript coding.
In miscelleaneous tools bar, you have an option of SCRIPT_ITEM writer tool, drag the tool into your WAD layout, and select the properties , choose the editor option and paste your coding. that's it.
Alternate option :

Hope this will help to you.

Where can I change desktop for anonymous user ?
Hello.

If you know, please, tell.The user "authlessanonymous" holds the information that people see if they are not signed on. It can be changed like any other user. It may have to be enabled under the Service Configuration tab -> portal desktop.

How to trigger and change password for AD user after form based login
Hello,
We are authenticating against Active Directory with Weblogic 10.3 using FORM based security. Everything is working. I need to now change a password for an authenticated user. For example, I have set a user to have their password expire on next logon from the AD side. The user logs in but somehow I need to trap some info from Active Directory (or an LDAP conversation) to figure out if I need to force the user to change password.
Do I need to start looking at custom code with LDAP Java SDK's or can I use a canned MBean from Weblogic Server.
I am looking at http://www.mozilla.org/directory/ for LDAP.
Can I set/reset an AD user's password with an MBean like the following link?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/javadocs/index.html?weblogic/management/security/authentication/UserPasswordEditorMBean.html
If anyone has any experience with this or can point me in the right direction let me know.
If anyone else is interested please add to the tread and I'll be sure to keep the found solution(s) updated here.
Thanks...........

Can't change password for SMTP outgoing server.
I changed my password on the server via a different method, now I need to change the password Thunderbird uses to send messages to that new password. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get Thunderbird to ask for the password again, it just keeps using the old saved password. How do I get Thunderbird to prompt me for the new password?
Oh, and this is Thunderbird 24.6.0, on Windows 7.I have just spent several hours wrestling with the same problem.
Why the Thunderbird path ''Tools>Options>Security>Passwords>Saved Passwords'' does not casually mention that to change server provider passwords,''' simply''':
''''Remove ALL the saved password for that account. They might be there more than once. Once for inbound and another for outbound. Remove them both. Close and restart Thunderbird. It should ask you for a password the next time one is required.' '''
confounds Mozilla's usually excellent signposting, IMHO

Can't change password for mozilla addons
I tried to login with my old password for firefox addons and it didn't recognize it. I requested a password reset, then went to the link from my email and typed a new password in both boxes. I received a message that said your password was changed,. Yet when I went to log in, the password still didn't work.
I tried two more times to reset and enter a new password (I tried different passwords just out of curiosity) and the same problem keeps occurring.I doubt if the Add-ons forum AND the Add-ons website use the same password / username database. Not a 100% sure because I use the same username and same password for all the Mozilla websites, except for Bugzilla and Mozilla Labs which use the email address for the username; according to my master list of website logins those two websites initiated login credentials two years apart - 2006 and 2008.

Can't Change Password for SSID's any longer!!!
I have 3 Cisco WAP 2000 and have two SSID's set up with passwords. I usually change the passwords every 3 months or so, but now when I log in I can't even see where I can change the passwords. there is no longer a drop down list under Wireless. There actually aren't any drop down lists under any of the Menu items any longer. So weird. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
ShaunaHello Shauna,
Issues like this are usually related to the browser your are using, or possibly your anti-virus/security software.
Try opening the page in a different browser. Firefox tends to work the best. I would also recommend checking your firmware to see if it can be updated to support a newer browser.
Since the WAP2000s are a bit older, you can also try as early a version of Internet Explorer as you can find, or running in compatibility view.
Thank you for choosing Cisco,
Christopher Ebert - Network Support Engineer
