Can't log in as an administrator

My administrator log in will not work, even though I know I am using the right name and password. Because my log in won't work I cannot add many programs or even watch dvds. Unfortrunately I am past the 90 days of support, so I have been trying to fix the problem myself, but I can't even reload my mac software without the log in.

What about enabling 'root'??
That would give you another option. Now here's the bad thing...you have to have an admin account/password to enable it. In 10.5.x you go to Applications/Utilities/Directory Utility.
Then from the pull down menu, click on Edit, Enable Root User.
Keep in mind that this is an all powerful account. If you're logged in as 'root', you can do anything and it won't ask for confirmation. Now you might thinking that's a good thing but you then also remove all the safeguards that are in place to prevent root kits/viri/trojan horses from being installed.
That is while you're logged in as 'root'.

    rmelideo,
    Firstly, you refer to "WebDB administrator" and "WebDB 1.6". This is not WebDB. You're confusing this with an entirely different product released in the late 90's.
    You don't say what your specific error is. But the file does not exist errors in your Apache error log look suspicious. It looks like you have not copied the images directory from the HTML DB 2.0 distribution.

  • How can i log on as an administrator?

    how can i log on as an administrator?

    Click  in the menu bar.
    Choose Log out  .........your standard account name.
    When the login screen appears, login to your administrator account.
    If you have set up automatic login, click your standard account name in the menubar and choose the Administrator account.
    Best.

  • Can't log in as the Administrator on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello,
    I have a windows server 2008 R2 (DCSERVER) as the domain controller and about 10 Windows 7 Client machines on the network. I also have configured a WSUS server & File Server on this machine. Everything was working fine, until I added another Windows
    7 Machine to the domain. I couldn't login to the domain and got the error "the security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust". I looked up on Google and tried some tricks - mainly adding the
    attributes DNSHostName & ServicePrincipalName to the affected computer and the deleting the computer from the group
    (since the previous trick didn't work). 
    But after trying the above I observed that I can't login to my DCSERVER either. I get the same error - "the security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust" 
    Please help me fix this issue.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    According to your description, you cannot login the domain from Windows 7 client.
    Please refer to the following article for troubleshooting:

  • Can't log in, on server machine - can everywhere else

    [Running latest Mavericks and latest OS X Server.]
    I can't sign in to any established user accounts on the actual server. But, I can SSH successfully with the same account, I can remotely administer the server, etc. Everything works with the account/password, except actually logging in on the physical server machine.
    I'm not using any directory services, just plain old user accounts. It's an administrator account.
    I've:
         —checked that the user details are the same in both OS X Server admin and in the standard Settings > Users location (they are)
         —reset the password
         —made an entirely new account (same problem)
         —selected a user from the list, and tried typing in the username manually
         —made sure the local keyboard is fine, caps lock is off, etc.
    Here are the weird things:
         —After it wouldn't accept my password several times locally, I was given the option of resetting using my Apple ID, which I did. But, it still wouldn't log me in with the changed password! Then I tried SSHing in remotely and the new password worked, so it had been changed :-/
         —One time after a reboot the password suddenly worked and I could log in locally, then on the next reboot I was locked out again.
    Any ideas? Thanks,
    Russell.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • How do i reset admin password. no disc but system automativally logs me in as administrator and can access root user mode

    I recenly got this macbook, MA&00LL/A, max OS X, V:10.4.11, 2GHz IntelCore 2 duo, 2GHz, When I power up it automatically logs me on as administrator but prompts for password when I try to access/change certain features.  I got the macbook from my cousin who has forgot password and has lost disc.  I can access root user mode but as iam unfamiliar with apple I am hesitant to delete anything without making things worse. Is their anyway I can reset this admin password without the disc or simply delete this user and reconfigure system as myself as administrator. step by step instructions would be appreciated at this stage till i familiarize myself more.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If it came down to buying a disc, how much roughly do these cost???  thanks again

    If you don't have your install disks you can get the 10.4 gray disks by calling Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need.
    To find your serial number go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info, the System Profiler will then come up. The Serial Number (System) is down near the bottom of the Hardware Overview list.
    If you don't have your install disc handy,then follow these steps
    1. Start up in single-user mode (hold Command-S as thecomputer starts up).
    2. Type: mount -uw /
    3. Press Return.
    4. Type this: passwd (user's short name) Replace "(user's shortname)" with the short name of the user account whose password you wish to reset. If you are not sure what the account name is, you can get a list of usernames by typing: ls /Users
    5. Press Return.
    6. Enter a new user password.
    7. Press Return.
    8. Type: reboot
    9. Press Return.

  • I need to log on as administrator, I don't ever remember creating a Firefox admin password, How can I get logged in as an administrator?

    I am using Firefox 3.6. I need to log on as an administrator. I don't ever remember creating an administrator account or password for Firefox. What can I do so that I can either find my current administrator password or create a new password and/or administrator account?

    You are probably being asked to use a Windows XP admin account.
    You need to log into your XP Operating Sytem as an admin level user.
    If you use Ctrl + Alt + Del twice from the logon screen you will be offered a choice of user account and password.
    The 'Administrator' account itself is not normally seen when logging on.
    XP probably sets up the Administrator account with a null default password so enter the name 'Administrator' and then put the cursor in the password fields and hit the return key.
    It is always a good idea to actually enter and use a password, it is also a good idea to create a password reset floppy.
    If you have any account that already has administrator priveliges that may be uses to change passwords and account names.
    If all else fails a clean reinstall of the OS will probably get you in as an administrator.

  • Can't log in as administrator after update

    I upgraded to 10.4.8 and now I can't log in as administrator. At the log in screen, it will go away after I enter the passwordand act like it will work, but then the log in screen will appear again. I have a test account that I am still able to log in to. If i try operations that require the administrator password in this account, the password works. I tried turning the automatic log in for the administrator on in the test account and restarting it, but then the gray screen with the circle never goes away. I reset the PMU and now when I log in as administrator, the screen fades to blue, the mouse reappears, and then nothing.

    After /sbin/fsck -f the volume was repairedDid you run it again until it said it was OK?
    -sh: !: event not foundThat's very peculiar. Anyway, just replace that line with
    chown root:admin .GlobalPreferences.plist(The "!$" is just a shorthand for the same last argument).
    I just get the same initial line:
    This is more serious, and means there is no "DisableAutoLogin" key in the file. So I don't understand why you have autologin set.
    First let's make sure you have the file (in Single User again):
    ls -l /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences*This should show both "/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist" and "/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.orig". Then I'd like to know why that "!$" didn't work, so
    echo $SHELL(that's just out of interest).
    If you do have a "/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist", then:
    file /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plistIf this comes back saying "data", let's convert it to text, if necessary, so you can look at it:
    plutil -convert xml1 /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plistCheck by doing
    file /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plistagain, and make sure it now says "XML document text". Then you can examine the file with:
    more /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plistwhich will display one screenful: a space moves to the next screen, a return moves down one line, a "b" moves back one screen in case you overshoot. "q" quits the more program. Look for the line "<key>com.apple.userspref.DisableAutoLogin</key>" which will be near the end.
    Sorry there's a lot to do but if I restrict it to one question per post it would take too long!

  • Can not log on after successfull installation - SAP Netweaver Trial JAVA

    Hello,
    I have successfully downloaded and installed the NW Java trial. (NW_JAVA_700SP14_SR3.rar)
    I can see in SAP MMC that all the services was started. At http://vjm:50000 I can see the default page.
    Unfortunately I can not log on to any page that need SAP authentication (eg. User management, NW administrator),
    but can log to pages which needs just basic browser authentication (eg: Web Service Navigator, UDDI client, System Information).
    The portal also does not let me log on (http://vjm:50000/irj ).
    When I get the standard SAP NW log on screen, after entering Administrator with the correct master password, simply the log on screen appears again (the password field is cleared). I also tried some incorrect user name / password just to check the difference. In that case I got the correct error message.
    I installed the software with WMware, Windows 2003 server, allocated enough disk space and 1.6Gbyte RAM. The installation finished without errors. Prior, I installed the MS loopback too (tried without it too). In SAP MMC everything is green, only have an open alert in J2E 00 -> Services -> Security -> Aggregated Data -> Invalid session count "262 > 200 last reported value above treshold".
    I am using the standard internet explorer coming with Win2003 server.
    Tried the users: Administrator, SDM, Guest, ADSUSER. I know that the password is correct, because I don't get any error if I use it, just getting the log on screen back ...
    Could anyone pls help me how can I log on to the system? Or is there any security trace file or log which could help me solve this problem?
    I am desperately trying to install this trial, I completely reinstalled the software 5 times but still can not use it

    Hi,
    is your problem persisting?
    CAVE: If you use a wrong user/pw combination > 3 times the account of the user may be locked!
    try j2ee_admin instead of administrator or try adm together with your Masterpassword
    Do you have to specify the users pw inside the installation procedure? In "normal" installations this has to be done.
    If not the pw´s in the documentation of the previous answer`may fix your problem.
    The sap mmc is irrelevant for user authentication.
    Green means your system is running, nothing else.
    kind regards
    Tom

  • Windows Backup - The backup application coud not start due to an internal error: You must be logged on as an administrator to perform this task. (0x8100000010).

    Windows 7 users in my domain are unable to configure or change backup settings.  Users are able to open Control Panel > Backup and Restore, but when they click
    Change settings, they receive the error: Windows Backup - The backup application coud not start due to an internal error: You must be logged on as an administrator to perform this task. (0x8100000010).
    The same error is received when executing sdclt.exe /configure at the command prompt, regardless of whether the command prompt is launched using "run as administrator".
    I've done significant testing, and have been able to determine that the local administrator account is able to configure backups before the computer is joined to the domain.  Once the computer is joined to the domain, the local administrator account
    and domain users who are in the local administrators group are no longer able to configure backup and restore.  Domain administrators are able to configure backups.
    This is a new issue, which began occuring sometime in the last 2 months.  3 months ago, users were able to configure backups without issue, and those computers with backups configured are still able to run their backups and do restores; however the
    settings can no longer be changed. 
    Clearly something in the domain is doing this, but Group Policy has not been altered, and I can find no setting that would be doing this in any case.  Any help is appreciated. 

    Hi,
    So you mean you have tried different accounts in the local Administrator group and all of them failed?
    If so, please check what group the local Administrator group belongs to? Does it belong to a group with limited privileges, such as the Guests group?

  • Can't log in to a OD client

    com.apple.SecureServer: authinternal failed to authenticate user pat.
    com.apple.SecureServer: Failed to authorize right system.login.tty by process /usr/sbin/ssh for authorization created by /usr/sbin/sshd
    Anyone have any idea what my problem is?
    Thanks.
    Pat.

    No reason to be angry as it's in his book on page 112. You possibly did not understand its significance until you'd done it yourself?
    In an AD-OD integrated environment (I prefer this to 'Magic Triangle' as there is no triangle as such) there are no users in OD. They're all in AD. You nest AD Users or Groups (best to use groups) into an OD Group and apply managed preferences that way. You could bypass group nesting if you wish and simply create OD Computer Groups instead. Manage the workstations directly. All users admin or not, local or otherwise would have have those preferences applied.
    "Are preferences correctly inherited between AD and OD groups and users?"
    In my experience they are.
    "What if I want users in some AD Groups to be controlled users on the client and users in other AD groups to be admins on the client?"
    You can do the first part of the question using the provided Server Tools, PM or WGM. To make users local admins you use a terminal command. You don't want to be doing this for student accounts. To make AD groups administrators access Directory Utility's Advanced Options section in the AD plug-in. Clicking on the Administrative tab should give you the option you may be looking for? Alternatively you could use the command line (man dsconfigad) as there are more settings available using it than there are in the GUI.

  • Connected to network but can't log on

    My iBook G4 works great on my home wireless network, but not at my workplace. It connects to the network, has a strong signal, the WEP password is correct, but I can't log on to any sites or do eMail. Any suggestions? Anyone? I'm not exactly a Mac novice, but I've tried everything I know in preferences and Airport settings, with no luck.

    I believe you have DHCP addressing turned on on your network settings. Does your mac aquire a normal LAN IP, or does the IP begin with "169"?
    In either case, looks like your workplace's wireless router doesn't have DHCP server turned on, or it doesn't allow WAN connections to machines with non-registered MAC addresses. You should check with your workplace's network administrator, or examine the router's settings, if you have administrator access to it.
