Can't log into any desktop manager KDM set autologin

Hello, new Arch user. I moved over from Ubuntu.
I installed arch on my laptop with KDE, LXDE, and Gnome. I had KDE and LXDE set up and working the way I wanted. I tried to log into Gnome. "Something" is wrong with Gnome (no idea at this point). It simply hangs at a black screen.
I had set KDM to autologin. Now I can't log in, log out, or change desktop environments. I don't know how to turn off the autologin (I turned it on when I was logged into KDE), or force KDM to switch back to a desktop manager that works.
I found my kdmrc (/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc). It indicates autologin is disabled.
I can get to a shell (ctrl-alt-F#). I can't get to any working graphical environment.

You don't need to login with the master password. When you get to the log in screen, just log in as you would normally.

I can't log into any of my online accounts after emptying my cache.

Ever since I reset Safari to empty my cache, history and such, I can not log into any of my online accounts,such as Safari, eBay,etc... I enter my username and password and click the sign in button and the page goes back to the log in page. I don't know what's going on with it.
Has anyone ever had this problem? If so, please let me know how I can resolve this problem. Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sounds like you broke the connection between your Password list and Keychain Access. What you may have to do is reestablish those passwords. First step would be to go to keychain access and remove the related entries. Then go back to Safari and access each site. After entering your password information, a prompt ought to appear about keeping the password on file. Select "yes".

Can't log into Oracle Application Manager

Thanks for your reply Mylenium.
OK, now I can log into my Adobe (website) account and see my purchases, serial numbers, etc. .... AND ..... I am now able to log into my Applications Manager!!
I did not do anything different from the other past few days; didn't load or download any software, nothing. Strange, but I'm glad it's back to normal now.
Figures; when I go and seek out assistance ... it fixes itself.
Thanks again ... and I hope this does not re-occur!!

Set up FireVault, now can't log into any of my accounts...

I just received my Macbook today from my school, so there were no cds included or anything. I set my FireVault and the computer restarted. I tried logging into my account with the master password and the password I used for the account and I tried all the combinations I could think of just in case I made typos, but nothing I try works. When I try logging back into my account with the password I used in the beginning (before setting up FireVault), the screen goes blue for a few seconds, like it usually does when it logs in, but then it just returns back into the login screen. Please help before the 18th, thanks.

Win svr 2008 r2 ent - user can not log into remote desktop after installing march's 2015 important updates

we installed march's 2015 important updates onto all of our servers. three of our servers are not allowing RDP.
these servers have windows server 2008 r2 enterprise sp1 installed.
we enter in the username and password in the rdp dialog box and click on ok. the rdp dialog box comes back for us to enter in the username and password.
we do have kb3046049 and kb3002657 installed.
is there a v2 of kb 3002657 for windows server 2008 r2 enterprise?
on one of the servers
1. I disabled rdp
2. stop and start the following services
remote desktop configuration
remote desktop services
remote desktop services usermode port redirector
remote procedure call
3. enabled rdp
4. added the users allowed to rdp into server
This allowed us to RDP into that box with the username and password.
But the other two servers the steps performed above did not work.
Any solutions for Win Svr 2008 R2 enter sp1?

My keyboard is writing in Greek? even though the settings and fonts say it's writing in standard Apple font? I can't log into any of my accounts, because even though I type the password correctly, the keys are writing and beings submitted in Greek...HELP.

My keyboard went nuts...I got on my MacBook today after not using it for about 24 hours, and the fonts all changed to like Greek. No matter where I am at (web browser, word document, etc). I even went into settings and fonts, and it says it is using Arial or some other standard "Apple" font, but the keys continue to write in Greek.
It gets worse-I logged out thinking I just needed to reboot...but now I cannot get back in because it's still not writing correctly. What's even weired (and I have no idea if this is related or not) but my Capslock Key and my Delete key have like switched roles...ALSO, when I press down the "A" key (as there is an "A" in my password) the keyboard writes it 3 times...even though I only hit it once. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE. I am a full-time student and need my computer for homework.
I'm locked out AND if I do get in, the font it still messed up as well as the Delete and Capslock keys...

It sounds to me like your keyboard has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced. Can you try an external keyboard?

Since Ios 7 Update of my iPhone 5 I can not log into any WLAN any more - who can help to solve this major problem

Hi all,
I updated my iPhone 5 recently to IOS 7 - Since then I do not get any access to my home WLAN / WIFI with the iphone 5.
At same time the iphone 3S and IPAD 1 of my wife (both IOS 5.x) still work fine in our homes WLAN / WIFI.
Who can help to get my Iphone 5 with IOS 7 back to work in the home WIFI ?
Thanks in advance for any possible solution.
Best regards
Dirk from Hamburg Germany

Try this first.
On the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings.
This will erase all saved wi-fi networks and settings.
If no change after this, try resetting your modem and wireless router. Disconnect the router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait a few minutes followed by powering your modem back on allowing it to completely reset before powering your wireless router back on allowing it to completely reset with the modem.

I can't log into any websites I get timed out right when I sign in or it tells me I can't log in!?

How don't fix this?

Greetings Nflorez,
Based on your post, it sounds like you are having issues connecting to the internet. I have located two posts that may help you. Since I don't know your network configuration, I have included articles about Wi-Fi and an article that provides further network troubleshooting resources:

Can't log into account

Hello all! I have a problem!! When I log into my account it takes me to the my desktop but will not load my desktop icons. It then returns me to the log in screen. I can however log into other accounts. I set up a new admin but cannot access my old files because I do not have permission. I've tried repairing permission (which fails). I've tried repairing permission through the install disc and it stalls...all day. The Mac HD appears to be ok when I verify Disk. I've also tried to just do a reinstall but it fails to. Any help would be greatly appreaciated! I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7 on a MacBook.
also, I was able to log into it once briefly and It displayed Finder Quit Unexpectedly.

This is just a guess, but it may work. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Log into a working admin account and launch the Terminal application. I'll assume that the name of the problem account is "fubar." Substitute the actual name for that one. In the Terminal window, very carefully enter the following command:
sudo rm ~fubar/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Try again to log in as fubar.

Can't log into Application Manager CS6 MC

Hi all -
When I try to log into my CS6 Applciation Manager, it's reply is "Unable to contact Adobe". All was working fine two days ago.
Via the Chat Window, I contacted a CSR that helped me reset my password ... but that did NOT solve my problem. Then the CSR stated there is no issue ... and did not seek to help me out any further.
I am able to log into my Adobe account to see my purchases, serial numbers, profile, etc...
But I still am not able to log into the Application Manager.
What am I missing here?
I can provide more details if need be.

Thanks for your reply Mylenium.

Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
ACL found but not expected on Users
Repaired "Users"
ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
Repaired "Users/.localized"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
Repaired "Users/shared"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
Permissions repair complete.
But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out of one devise before using another?

Some Internet providers that limit access to a single device at a time do so by the device's hardware MAC address. If your ISP is one of those, you may be able to substitute the MAC address of your AirPort Express base station for the computer. I would suggest that you contact them to find out if this is allowable.
