Changed Remote Management settings, now I can't authenticate!

I recently changed some settings on several machines at my workplace, and one of the settings was to allow all accounts, and not just the previously existing accounts, to access some computers using Remote Management.
I didn't turn Remote Management off, I just changed it from "Allow access for: Only these users:" to "Allow access for: All users". The host machine has 10.6.3 and ARD 3.3.2. All the clients have either 10.6.3 or 10.5.8. Any machines that I haven't changed that setting for work great, and I am able to authenticate, just the ones that I have changed their settings.
I have noticed that when I use an account that is valid on that machine, it colors the icon as if I had put a proper username/password in. I have tried new preference files, I have done the "kickstart" processes, and I have tried ScreenSharing.app, and none of them work. I have tried ScreenSharing.app from other computers, and it fails as well, telling me the problem is with the affected client computers, and not the host.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Okay, I just had an "oh yeah!" moment where it suddenly dawned on me; when I change from "Only these users:" to "All users", I need to adjust the Options... settings to allow for users to remotely connect again.

Changed Remote Management Settings -- Lost ARD Control!

I run a headless server. My remote management settings on the server were set to allow "all users" to control it. I changed it to allow "only these users" and it was set to the current and only user "admin". I immediately lost control of the server in ARD. When I try to re-add it to my list, it accepts "admin" and the password but refuses to allow me to control the server anymiore.
Needless to say: Help!

well, that was exciting . . . i was able to login as the superuser (root).
what's interesting is that when i re-established contact with the server the remote management/options window was open and none of the boxes were checked.
since it limited control to the admin user immediately upon selecting it, therefore, it stopped allowing me to control it via ARD. not sure how one could set control the admin only on a headless server, but all's well that ends well.

Blocking rights to change Remote Management Settings

I'm in a school system, and we're getting ZW 7 set up. I have a couple
of users per school who have rights through iManager to reset passwords
for users in their containers. I'm seeing through Console 1 that these
users also are granted Remote Control rights, based on their iManager
Role rights. I can live with that, but I need to block their ability to
change the properties of the package, such as blocking them from
unchecking the option that requires permission from the user before
allowing remote control. Any advice?
Thanks.

Reset network settings, now I can't authenticate into iMessage, FaceTime, and twitter

I have an iPhone 4s with the latest release of 5.0.1 (9A406) and everything was working well until earlier today I reset my network settings because of slow 3G. When it came back up I noticed iMessages weren't working. From the iMessage settings it keeps saying authentication failed even if I retype my password correctly. FaceTime settings does the same thing. And the kicker is twitter settings aren't letting me login either though I can use the same user and password in tweetbot it just fine. The twitter app works but isn't updating.
Something has to be wrong with the iPhone authentications settings. Anyone have any ideas? Tried rebooting / resetting network.

Interesting resolution to this question. I was travelling out of state when I reset my network connect. I couldn't get imessage to work until I was back in my home city. This seems quite strange to me, but maybe these services are some how geo specific?
Using the same exact login info I couldn't authenticate to any of these services out of town (tried multiple times on 3g and wifi). As soon as I landed at home they worked right away.

Default Remote Management Settings

I just (for the first time ever) looked at my Remote Management settings and VNC access was turned on and Show status in menu bar was turned off. That seems a bit precarious and unorthodox.
Is that the default setting or has my system been changed by someone/thing? Is there a way to easily parse my secure.log (i.e., a useful string to search for) that would tell me if I have had unauthorized connections?

Try the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

I changed my Apple ID, now I can't login to iCloud because it still has my old Apple ID and the password no longer works to log me in. How can I get back into iCloud so that I can switch off Find my iPhone so I can make these changes? Thank you.

Well, you're gonna have to recover the password for that Apple ID:

I followed the steps to restore to factory settings now I can't get back my info from a prior backup. My pads screen was frozen on the connect to iTunes I needed to restore. I had to setup my pad as if it was new. How do I acess my prior backup

Once again, KP is correct, but I just want to add that if you don't see the backup in the drop down menu on the summary page of iTunes when you choose the restore from backup option, then the backup is unfortunately gone. If you backup your computer, the iPad backup should probably be in that computer backup. I use Time Machine with my MacBook Pro and can access backups from months ago.
On a side note, I also archive backups from time to time. If you right click on a backup name in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Devices (Windows) or iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) you can save that backup or archive it. It will be date and time stamped. I have no idea why I do this to the degree that I do it, but I probably have 12-14 iPad backups archived in iTunes.

One of my kids changed my password, and now i can't access my mail accounts. Any ideas on how to override the password and set up a new one?

A mail account password or you login password?
Which OS by the way?

Management Console "Provide Credentials" can't authenticate.

At this screen during install, it asks for
User name:
Password:
Context:
I put CN=admin,o=(his context), and this then fades the Context box, and then I enter I know to be the password in, but get "The authentication attempt failed: Confidentiality is required for this operation". I also get this if I leave the default context it opened up the screen in. ( [root] Treename )
If I put in just "admin" for the name, the known password, and the correct context, I get "The user name admin is invalid"
What am I doing wrong?

"Confidentiality is required" means that eDirectory is configured to require a SSL-secured connection over the LDAP port.
You can change that setting in the LDAP Group/Server object in eDir. Also, you can choose ZESM to establish an SSL-secured connection to eDir over the SLDAP (Secure LDAP) port and avoid changing the eDir side.
Check to see if you can connect using an LDAP browser to eDir using 389 (LDAP) and 636 (SLDAP) ports.

Remote Management settings

I am trying to turn on my screen sharing but when I go to the system preferences "Sharing" tab, and click on the "Screen Sharing" and the message "Screen Sharing is currently being controlled by the Remote Management service". I naturally go to the remote management tab, but it is not there. Any help?
I am using a late 2010 MBA

If your users have local administrator privileges, there's no way I know of to totally prevent them from being able to alter the settings. You can, if you're using Managed Preferences from Mac OS X Server, turn off access to the Sharing control panel, I believe, but that won't stop a knowledgeable user from just using the kickstart command to alter the ARD settings or turn the ARD client off again.

I had to change my apple ID due to someone else using it and changing the password, so now i can't sign out of icloud as the email is wrong and i dont have the password to turn off find my iphone. Help!

Basically, someone was hacking my apple account for a while and kept changing the password so i kept resetting it, now i've had to change my email as icloud still wouldn't accept my new passwords - even after being updated. Now i can't sign out of icloud due to it being the wrong email and an unknown previous password, as i can't turn off find my phone.ipad. How do i solve this without losing everything as i can't just delete the account and the usb ports on my laptop have gone so i can't back up to my laptop. I'm running completely on icloud but desperately need it to update so i don't lose all my uni work as well off my ipad.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
