Can't login to Mac OS X server website after password reset

Hi,
I set up Mac OS X server for our small company and tried resetting the password of my network account that is managed via profile manager.
So, under Accounts->User->MYUSERNAME->reset Password, I typed in a new one and hit ok.
Now I can't login to the server website anymore (for editing our wiki or using profile manager etc.), neither with the new one nor with the old one.
I already tried different passwords (resetting it again and again), I looked at the password directive, I checked my user name, tried to login from different computers and tried logging in with another account (which worked quite fine, so it's just my account). Finally I searched the internet for a solution for quite some time but didn't find anything similar.
It would be great, if somebody could offer some advice.
Best regards.
Lasse

Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

Can't login to Mac OS X Server (10.3.x)

We have a server that will not display the login screen. It loads all of the services (and they are working) ie: AFP, FTP and WWW but we can't login it never displays the screen. We have tried to repair perm. and checked the drive. We tried to re-install the OS from disk and it wants to reformat the HD. We also have a Macintosh OS X Server 10.4 that we tried to load and it wants to reformat the HD before install also. We have started to copy the files off of the server and are planning on formatting the HD and loading 10.4 Server from disk. Any suggestions as to what may have caused the problem would be appreciated. We don't need this problem again.

Sun x4170 ILOM - Can't get to the web interface 2 days after password reset

Just bought a used x4170. I was able to get iLOM on the network and get to the web interface logon screen after setting the IP for it.
I tried logging on but the password was not given to me. So I connected to the serial interface (rj45) from another machine and used putty to connect. Got to the preboot point and was able to reset the password to default, Rebooted.
I was then able to log into iLOM. That was 2 days ago. Today for some reason, I can't get into iLOM. It pings but I can't get to the web interface. I get the IE error "cannot connect" or unable to connect or something like that.
I'm completely new to this brand of server so consider me completely ignorant on all aspects of the hardware.......lol
Thanks

Hello
By default, you connect to the server’s service processor (SP) using the out-of-band network management port (NET MGT). The ILOM sideband management feature enables you to select either the NET MGT port or one of the server’s Gigabit Ethernet ports (NET 0, 1, 2, 3), which are in-band ports, to send and receive ILOM commands to and from the server SP. In-band ports are also called sideband ports.
You can refer more here : https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19269-01/820-7959-11/820-7959-11.pdf
If you want to use the NET MGT port of ILOM, then your output should display similar to below
-> show /SP/network
/SP/network
    Targets:
        interconnect
        ipv6
        test
    Properties:
        commitpending = (Cannot show property)
        dhcp_clientid = none
        dhcp_server_ip = xxxxxxxxx
        ipaddress = xxxxxxxxx
        ipdiscovery = dhcp
        ipgateway = xxxxxxxxx
        ipnetmask = xxxxxxxxx
        macaddress = 00:10:E0:65:2F:20
        managementport = MGMT   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        outofbandmacaddress = 00:10:E0:65:2F:20
        pendingipaddress = xxxxxxxxx
        pendingipdiscovery = dhcp
        pendingipgateway = xxxxxxxxx
        pendingipnetmask = xxxxxxxxx
        pendingmanagementport = MGMT    <<<<<<<<<<<<
        pendingvlan_id = (none)
        sidebandmacaddress = 00:10:E0:65:2F:21
        state = enabled
        vlan_id = (none)
Hope this helps.

Can't login to Mac App store on mac mini. Is it because my ethernet port is fried?

Hi
like many others, I am unable to log in to the mac app store on my mac mini. I get the error message saying "An unknown error has occured". I believe the ethernet port is damaged after an electrical storm, but I can still get online wirelessly. I've read on these forums that the app store verifys the account using the ethernet port. Can anybody confirm if this is the case, is there a workaround that anyone knows of?
I can log into the App store on my laptop fine, just not the mac mini.
Thanks in advance
Paul

This is happening on 2 of my machines. One is OSX Lion, the other OSX Mountain Lion. My personal rig works just fine - all on the same network, all with the same basic configuration. All can log in and out of iTunes, but the two servers can't login via Appstore. My rig and one of the servers even use the same Ethernet driver, so it's not that.
I would seriously doubt your Ethernet card would be working at all if it was indeed damaged by the lightning. The transducers are relatively sensitive, and it would either fry or not. You won't get "intermittent" operation as you have described. Here is a list of all the things I've tried (based on a number of forum suggestions), none of which has worked:
1) Sign out of itunes, sign back in, try to sign in to AppStore.
2) Re-enter information in your account info and save it again (knew that wasn't it but tried anyway).
3) Ran AppStore as root.
4) Using EFIStudio, I got the hex string ID of my ethernet card and specifically reference "device-properties" in the boot.plist. Others have said this works, so you might give it a try -
http://legacy.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=169&t=28477
5) Deleted all other ethernet devices to avoid "confusion" of the return.
6) Verified I can get HTTPS returned from NAT device.
7) Used Wireshark to get a packet capture of it working on mine and not working on the other. On the one that doesn't work, all I get is a couple of SYNs to the appstore and then nothing. It was along these lines that I was hoping the "device-properties" would work.
I just thought of something though. If I don't see that ACK at all, it might be sending the packets somewhere else. hmmm. I'm going to hard-code in all HTTPS to be routed to that box and try it just for S&G.
Good luck!

Did you happen to get an answer for this yet? I set up icloud on my phone 3 months ago and have used it. Now my phone is lost so I'm trying to login on the computer (first time doing that) with my icould email and password, and I get the same message? If I can't login to icloud.com, I can't use the FindMyPhone app...

Why I can't login to my email? They kept saying password missing.... I tried to type the correct password but they kept saying serve not found.

Why I can't login to my email fr my iPad 4 ? They kept saying password missing even though I type the correct password they still said serve not found. Thank you!

I would go into settings and take a look if the mail account settings were all set like the mail provider's guide

Can I upgrade from Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 to Lion?

I am currenty running a Mac mini with Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 and would like to upgrade to plain Lion OS X, can I do this or will their be problems going from a server OS to the normal OS?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
If your system's compatible, buy it from the Mac App Store. A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by phoning the online Apple Store and ordering a download code for it.

Can't login to Mac Pro after every restart

Hi all,
For 5 days I've not been able to log into my computer at work after its been restarted/gone to sleep. The IT guys have had to do all kinds of stuff to get it working again. And every time we think it's fixed, I've come in the next morning and have the same problem, can't login.
I've eliminated that its my login details as I was able to login on another machine just fine. And others can't login to my computer, so it's obviously an issue with my machine/OS.
Does anyone have any ideas of why this would keep happening? It's as if something keeps resetting after each restart that then won't allow anyone else to login. This is all I can think of, but honestly have no idea. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated as its really frustrating and putting me very behind on my work. Thank you!
Btw, it's a Mac Pro duel quad core, 16GB ram, OS 10.6.7 I believe.
Also, the admin and root can login, just not any other accounts. So the computer can be accessed, but not thru my or any other accounts on the network.

Hey there.
Well, I figured out what is causing my problem. It's Mobile accounts. I started fresh with a new install and a standard Active Directory account (not Mobile). I authenticated 20+ times. Rebooted at least 10 times. Everything worked great. Then I decided to create the Mobile account. That's when everything broke again. My Active Directory account was getting locked after one accurate attempt to authenticate. When IT unlocked it I could go one step further but then would lock me out the next time I tried to authenticate. I've replicated this twice.
So for me, it's clearly a Mobile account problem. Which is bad because half of the Macs under my care are notebooks.
Please let me know what you find out on your end.
Thanks,
Adam

I have iCloud on my iPhone but can't login on PC because of server error.

Not sure what I could be doing wrong but I just installed the software on my machine and restarted computer and can't login due to server error. I click on check status and everything appears to be green on the site.
What am I doing wrong? Other than not being able to convince my work to use Android devices.

You might try doing the following:
Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu>All Programs>Accessories>right-click "Command Prompt">choose "Run as Administrator").
Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
Reboot your computer.
Then try siging into iCloud again.

Can't login to solaris 8 ftp server

I can't login to my solaris 8 ftp server from another computer. When I type in the username (root) and my password (the password I use to login to my CDE), it tells me that the password is incorrect. I am a beginner at this, and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.

Hi,
If you must log into the ftp server as root for some reason you have to first edit the ftpusers file. This file lists all the users who can not use ftp. The file is found here /etc/ftpusers. If you remove the entry root from this file it will allow root to log into the ftp server.
Hope This Helps.

Can't login to mac - keyboard issue?

Hi
I'm hoping someone can help me with this...I can't get an appointment at an apple store until a week away.
When I go to login into my MacBook I start typing my password DVD the keyboard seems to start entering letters of its own. Plus when I am able to type my password in and press enter the computer won't recognise it (capslock is off). It also makes a continuous beeping/drumming noise when I go to switch it on. I have no idea where to start with this...could it be a keyboard issue? Or a virus? Also I have FileVault enabled as well.
Would appreciate any advice!
Thank you

This is probably a hardware problem. Clattering noises are usually either a bad CD or DVD or a bad optical drive, or possibly a disk drive or fan hardware problem, or some other hardware confusion.
Something other than the usual startup chime can indicate the hardware tests have found an error.
Make sure you have no CD or DVD inserted into the drive.
Remove all external devices — USB hubs, storage, keyboards, or otherwise — and test again.
Can you boot the MacBook using the recovery partition or boot into safe mode?
I'd also try an external keyboard, if you have one available.
I'd normally suggest using target disk mode as a way to try and get a current backup of your disk data, but AFAIK your particular MacBook model lacks both FireWire and Thunderbolt ports, which means that's not (again, AFAIK) an available option here.

Can no longer login to Blackberry App World or get a password reset, please help!

I cannot login to My Blackberry App World on https://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/login/
I have entered my email and password but it is rejected.
When I ask for a password reset I am prompted to answer a security question. The security question I am given is one I have never set, so I do not know what the answer is meant to be!
Consequently I cannot get a password reset so am unable to access My Blackberry App World, either on my phone or on a pc.
What has happened to my account and why can I no longer log in..?

Apparently, there was something corrupt in my Profile. I backed up my default profile, created a new one and copied over the critical folders and files - the addons; backedup bookmarks, places.sqlite; password info in key3.db and signons.sqlite.
Issue resolved.

After password reset, can't login to Powerbook G4

My old Powerbook G4 was out of commission for a while because the memory was corrupt. So I bought new memory and installed it into the Powerbook G4.
It finally turned on, but I forgot the password. I wasn't able to find the original install disc so I used the install disc that came with my newer MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5 on it.
The G4 currently has OS X 10.4.10 installed. The 10.5 install disc wasn't able to install OS X 10.5 onto the G4, I'm guessing because its for intel macs only.
So, since all I wanted to do was change the password I was ok with that and went into Utilities/Password Reset. The hardrive didn't even show up! So I restarted the computer, but I accidentally selected the startup disc to be the 10.5 install disc.
No matter it went right back into the installer disc menus, etc. I went into Utilities/Disk Repair and the hardrive showed up. I then did a verify and repair disc which completed successfully. I then went into Password reset and the hard drive showed up this time. I selected it and my user account was there and I reset the password. I then restarted the computer, but again had forgot to tell the computer that the startup disc was the internal hard drive and NOT the 10.5 install disc. I went back to the menus and Utilities/Start Up Disc and changed it back and restarted the computer.
When the computer restarted a finder and ? icon briefly appeared and then went into the normal login window but with a blue screen behind the login dialog box and my user account name was no longer there/selectable. I entered my user account name and the NEW password and it shook. I restarted it two more times and the same thing happened. After those first three times, the finder and ? have never appeared again, however I still cannot login.
I went back to the install disc and tried a verify and repair disc permissions but got an Error: No valid packages (-9997) message. So, I'm lost now, and I figure I need to find the original install disc with OS X 10.4 on it in order to do a reinstallation of the OS. I just hope nothing on my hard drive gets erased.

Hello,
You are correct the Mac OS X 10.5 MacBook disk will be little help to you. I'm surprised it booted to allow you into disk utilities. Your also correct that you would require the disk that came with the PowerBook.
If you try holding down the option key, does that allow you to select your hard drive to boot from?
I do think that you would need to reinstall the OS (Mac OS X 10.4) either using a retail copy of the disk or some replacement system disks. I doubt there is too much wrong with the hard drive itself.
