Cannot change mail password or mail settings or reset factory settings.

Hi, I had to change my mail password on my computer and now cannot access mail on my iPhone.
The settings area for iCloud and mail are greyed out and I cannot access them.
I have a restrictions passcode in place, but I cannot remember it (have tried very hard!).
I can't restore the factory settings as iCloud is greyed out so I can't turn off Find my Iphone.
The passcode restriction has been an ongoing problem as far as some location services go (eg can't use Hailo), but now it is a BIG problem if I can't get mail.
I took the phone into the genius bar a few months ago to try and unlock the restrictions passcode, but the moment the phone synced again, the problem was there again.
Any help/advice would be HUGELY appreciated! Thank you very much.

You cannot re-sync the device if you need to remove restrictions passcode. You must restore it as New. If you have a prior backup before you added a restrictions code, then you can restore that backup or a previous one.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

User cannot change expired password at logon

Hi
I've got 4 Fujitsu laptop with Windows 7 business SP1 x64 (Fujitsu setup). When the domain password expired, users cannot change their password at logon. Also, they can change password in their opened session before it expire (CTRL+ALT+DEL ==>
change password).
The change password at logon windows is buggy : It only display one field to put password in, the confirmation field does not display.
When user valid is change, Windows display error "wrong username or password ". Only way to unlock this situation is to reset user password in ADUC and never let expire.
I seen no sofware or driver wich could interfe.
Domain controler (only one) is Windows server 2012 standard.
Has somebody ever seen this type of problem ?

Hi,
Can you post a screenshot for this situation?
Sometimes, the third party credential provider would lead to some issue like this, I suggest you check the
current credential provider via the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\x\LastLoggedOnProvider
You should compare the result with the values in the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\credential providers
If the current value is third party credential provider, try to disable it:
To disable the provider add a REG_DWORD value "Disabled"=1 to that provider’s CLSID subkey.
The provider will be disabled on the next session creation (sessions are created when you log off, switch users, or reboot.

cannot go to cmd+V or S, I cannot change my password. -error message ===boot file path system library coreservices boot.efi.... Please help.

Got it thanks macjack . Command + S on restart.
In this case Nad69-Breizh did you try restarting with the option key down and re-selecting the boot drive.
If no Recovery option, try command option R for internet recovery. Takes some time to load up.

How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

Cannot change mail POP server

I upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't change POP server address in mail preferences because is grey.
Does anyone have the same problem?

After Two weeks our IT figured out why the iphone would not push through emails. This happened years ago when we had the Treo Smart Phone. It's an email capacity issue.
This Issue has to do with the amount of emails sitting on the web mail. Our company holds every past email on the webmail, this is thousands of emails, let's put it this way, in one day I alone receive over 200 hundred emails. When the phone tries to retrieve current emails it is also trying to push through all the emails on the webmail which some phones are incapable of doing over a certain capacity. So you will receive the message "CANNOT GET MAIL, The connection to the server failed".
I.T. resolved this issue by backing up all emails on the Exchange server for each user. Then Moved all emails off the webmail to a local PC leaving only the current emails sitting in webmail. Now our IT has to make sure old emails are moved from the webmail weekly, keeping emails in the webmail to a minimum. Now some companies might not be facing any issues because they probably automatically archive old emails on the webmail. Our IT did not archive old emails from webmail because they thought they would give employees the capability of looking at old emails from webmail not only their PC. Since this issue, IT found that employees were not accessing webmail for old emails, they were logging into their office PCs to view old emails, so not having old emails on the webmail is not an issue for our company. And resolving the issue in this manner worked for us. Not sure if it's a solution for everyone.
P.S. This also effected Calendars, notes, contacts,etc since we resolved the email exchange "Push" issue, all other features are synching too.

ISE 1.2 Guest portal user cannot change their passwords

I have a WLC 5508(version 7.6) and a server installed the ISE (version 1.2.1.198)，Now we configured the CWA，Use guest portal as an employee and guest login url，We can use the manually create internal user and password successfully logged in, and we set up allow guest users to change password in Multi-Portal, but the user can not change the password in the guest portal ,I suspect the change password option on the Guest Portal actually works? Can anyone tell me how to change their own username password in the guest portal ?

Requiring Guests to Change Password
You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
Before You Begin
Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
Step 4 Check either or both options:
Allow guest users to change password
Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login
Step 5 Click Save .

DS console operators cannot change their passwords?

I've setup named developer accounts with the operator role, so that (among other things) they can tell who has an object checked out. But it seems that console users cannot change their own passwords: someone with administrator access needs to do it for them? Is that correct? This goes against best practices, where an administrator can reset a password but the user then changes (preferably, the are forced to change it on first logon). If that is the case, hopefully it's addressed in the next release (we are using SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, version: 12.2.3.0).

802.1X cannot change expired password at login

Hi all,
I'm trying to roll out 802.1X authentication for wifi access at my company, however there's one major problem I can't for the life of me figure out. I'm not able to get the Macs to prompt for a password change when the password has expired at login.
On Windows when you log in it will prompt you to change your password when it's expired. However on OSX when you're on the workstation login screen, you can see the wireless icon briefly connect, then it will think for a bit and the user cannot log in at all.
OSX can definitely can change expired passwords via 802.1X, as if I log into a local account and connect to the wifi with the user whose password has expired, it will prompt to change it, and changes it successfully.
I'm using NPS for RADIUS authentication against AD, and using Profile Manager in OSX Server to create the 802.1X profile.
Does anyone have any experience with OSX and using WPA Enterprise/802.1X Profiles?
Thanks!

WRT54G V8, Cannot change my password. Macintosh, Trying to hook-up Apple TV. , I'M DESPERATE!!!!!

I have a Macintosh G5. I bought an "Apple TV" that connects wirelessly to my router. In set-up it shows the Linksys and asks for WEP PASSWORD. In my computer I typed 192.168.1.1 and then went to the ADMIN tab and tried to change my password. After I change it and click SAVE I get another window that says Admin at top and asks for my password at the bottom. I type in the new password which reloads the Administration window again except my password is not changed. Because I have a Mac I don't know what the original password was. It is not ADMIN because it is about 18 characters long. PLEASE HELP ME I'M NEW TO THIS STUFF!!!!!
Thanks, Bill

The password on the Adminstration tab is the password for the web interface of the router. That password protects the router from unauthorized reconfiguration. It has nothing to do with wireless connections.
Go on the Wireless tab, then click Wireless Security. There you can see your wireless security keys. Enter the hexadecimal number in key 1 on your Apple TV. That should work.
Of course, WEP is highly insecure. It is easily and quickly cracked. I would highly recommend to switch your router to WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK security. Enter a good strong passphrase. The other advantage of WPA is that you cannot confuse the keys with the passphrase. In WPA2 there is only the passphrase...

Cannot change MyBT password

I have been trying to change the password for MyBT.
But when I enter the new password and hit "save" on the change password screen it just redirects me back to the change password screen, with not confirmation or error messages.
When I try to log back into MyBT I find that I still have to use the old password so the password change has no effect.

I forgot my rescue email and cannot change my password because I need t answer security questions that I don't know the answer to! I need help!

I can't change my password! I don't know the answers to my security questions and the recuse email I put in years ago may not even exist. I need help!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Impossible to change mail settings in Lion?

Never experienced this in any other verion of OSX.
Mail app: Mail > Preferences > Account Information Tab
I delete password, close dialogue box, am prompted if I want to save changes, click save.
When I re-open the same Preferences windown, the password is still there. Mail will not save changes. Why?
Moreover, if my password is there, why is there a lightning bolt next to my account and mail will not check for new email?

Normally I was prompted for the password with a dialogue box. The computer was being difficult earlier and I simply had to hit "cancel" in that dialogue box to get out of the system for a moment ... once that was done, there appears to be no way to ever again enter one's password or check mail.
Tried clicking the "check mail" button to bring up the password prompt - nothing happens.
Entered the correct password in the mail preferences for that account - nothing happens.
The only way I could find to fix the problem is delete the account (IMAP), and re-create. Because it's IMAP, I don't lose any data, but it seems crazy that if one cancels out of the password dialog box, the ability to check mail is forever lost until you re-create your account.
