Can't get login keychain password to work

So now all my autofills don't work, it's messing with my email connection, internet connection etc. Is there a way to figure out the password or a way to open this login keychain without the password?
Thanks

Hi your Login Keychain can be configured to remain accessible to you whenever you are logged in to your system. Here is some [info about the Keychain|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh460.html] which you might find helpful.
When you are logged out (or your computer is shut down) your keychain is unaccessible.
The fact that you got in with an old password means that this password is still active for certain tasks in your system.

Can't get Login Manager (xdm) to work

I would like to boot directly into a login maqnager such as xdm or wdm.
I have read the wiki on "Adding a login manager" but can't get xdm to work.
I have the following line in my /etc/inittab
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
I have the following in .xsession
/bin/bash --login -i ~/.xinitrc
But I don't have a .xinitrc file. That is probably the problem.
I would like to boot into xdm and then after logging in go to xfce4.
What do I need to do?
Rob

Thanks. That log does not show anything. However, there is a log in /var/log/xdm-errors.log. It shows:
Cannot open config file. Using builtin defaults.
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/sg=hare/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1: fixing.
I also tried using wdm. wdm does work. But no matter what window managaer I choose, it always opens startxfce4. Strange...
But I am perplexed that I can't get xdm to work. My setup is very simple.
Here is my latest attempt:
.xsession reads:
/bin/bash --login -i ~/.xinitrc
.xinitrc reads:
/opt/xfce4/bin/startxfce4
Any ideas?

I changed my password for hotmail on my home pc, and when I try to use it on my IPhone 3g, it keeps saying it's not valid. How can I get my new password to work on my phone?

I changed my hotmail password on my home computer, and now when I try to get email on my phone and use my new password, it says it's not correct. I just did an update a few days ago, but still can't access my email on my phone. Any suggestions???

You shoulcn't, but download and use the free app My Contacts Backup to back up your contacts before you try. It will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email which you send to yourself. If you somehow lose your contacts by deleting the account you can later open this email on your phone and tap the attachement to re-import your contacts.

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store. I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID. Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com). I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

What is a "login" keychain password

I'm trying to get my wifi to work and it asks for three passwords; I don't know what a "login" keychain password means. Also, it says the wifi network needs a "WPA" password. I don't know what that is either.

Your "login" keychain password is the password you choose when you set up your user account. It is the same as the administrator password for your account.
Your WPA password is the password to access your Wi-Fi network. Not to be confused with the password for your wireless router(this allows you to change the settings) which creates the Wi-Fi network.

I have tried to reindex my messages but I still can not get the search function to work in email

I have tried reindecing my messages by rebuilding the library but I still can't get my message function to work in mail. Any proposed solutions much appreciated.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock all your user files, reset their ownership, and remove their access-control lists. If you've set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Reset or recover "login" keychain password?

How do I recover or reset the "login" keychain password. After every restart, I keep getting login dialog boxes requesting password, but no way to get any hints or resets.

Hi pjcapri,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be frustrating when you are prompted for the login keychain multiple times. I would suggest resetting the keychain as well. Please follow the steps in the attached article to complete this process.
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
If you don't remember your original (former) account password
If you don't remember your original password, you'll need to delete the keychain. Deleting a keychain also deletes all the password data saved in that keychain.
In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
Delete the "login" keychain.
The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
Have a great day,
Joe

MacBook keeps asking for the 'login' keychain password?

Well I updated my Macbook to Mavericks and after restarting it a couple days later, a window annoyingly keeps popping up asking for the keychain password which I've unfortunately forgotten. I researched a little and someone suggested trying the KeyChain First Aid and if that fails, to delete it but neither work. How can I stop this from constantly popping up on my screen?
Thankyou!!!

How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
Problem:
My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera.
I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software.
Even after removing all the old software, same result:
I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.
Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.
Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution?
I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software. I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome.
I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software.
I test my camera before going online. It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.
When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
solution.
His reply is below :-
The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
blank screen. Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
adjusting the frame rate.
I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
to adjust the frame rate (?).
He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
something does the trick.
If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
please jot on a note on this thread.

I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

Can't get jdbc MySQL transactions to work

Hi
I'm trying to get a series of MySQL statements to work as a transaction but I can't get the transaction side to work.
I have the tables set up as InnoDB to support transactions.
My current code is written like this (from after the connection is opened). This method throws SQLException.
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
String sql = "BEGIN;";
int i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);
// insert row into TABLE persons
sql = "INSERT INTO persons SET " +
              "personID='" + p.getPersonID() + "', " +
              "firstName='" + p.getFirstName() + "', " +
              "lastName='" + p.getLastName() + "', " +
              "emailAddress='" + p.getEmailAddress() + "', " +
              "password='" + p.getPassword() + "', " +
              "approvalRating='" + p.getApprovalRating() + "';";
i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);
// get the address object associated with p
Address a = p.getAddress();
// insert row into TABLE addresses
sql = "INSERT INTO addresses SET " +
              "personID='" + a.getPersonID() + "', " +
              "address1='" + a.getAddress1() + "', " +
              "address2='" + a.getAddress2() + "', " +
              "town='" + a.getTown() + "', " +
              "city='" + a.getCity() + "', " +
              "county='" + a.getCounty() + "', " +
              "country='" + a.getCountry() + "', " +
              "postcodeArea='" + a.getPostcodeArea() + "', " +
              "postcode2='" + a.getPostcode2() + "', " +
              "phoneHome='" + a.getPhoneHome() + "', " +
              "phoneWork='" + a.getPhoneWork() + "', " +
              "phoneMobile='" + a.getPhoneMobile() + "';";
i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);
sql = "COMMIT;";
int i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);When the SQLException is caught, I want to execute a ROLLBACK
I can't seem to get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

1.) Which exact exception do you get and at what line?
2.) You should really use PreparedStatements and set the parameters there instead of building a dynamic SQL string, because that's greatly in danger of beeing attacked with a SQL injection attack. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection for details.
3.) You don't need to execute "COMMIT;" as a SQL command, there's connection.commit() for this (make sure that auto-commit is off, using connection.setAutoCommit() if necessary).
Edit: 4.) You don't need to do "BEGIN" as well (what gave you the idea, by the way?)
