Changing a Once Blank Password

I set my password to blank and now when I try to change it, it asks me to put in a password for my old password in the users section. What do I do?
PS. I don't recommend a blank password because it can screw up your computer when you first turn it on and it prompts for a login password! My computer has frozen so many times because I was lazy.

I appreciate the sarcasm, but I don't think you were paying attention. I want to change my password from blank to something else, as my own blank password has caused my computer to freeze. I have determined this because other passwords didn't make my computer freeze at start up. So how do I change from a blank password to a regular one if the computer won't allow me to put a blank in the "Old Master Password" space?

Password self-service errors - Password can be changed only once in a day

Hi experts,
We've been using password resets without issues for several months. Recently we upgraded from version 5.3 SP12 to SP14.
I've read the CUP release note that explains that how password resets now validates against the ABAP system parameter for login/password_change_waittime.
The errors we are experiencing happen even when the users' password is reset for the first time in a day.
Error message:
X Unable to reset password in the following system(s): ECDCLNT100. Password can be changed only once in a day
Please advise if you have experienced this error, if there is a resolution, and/or if there is a way to disable the parameter check.
FYI - We are only using password resets in our non-production systems and are not concerned with multiple daily password resets.
Thanks.

Are you using PSS with a CUA system?
Then you can try to upgrade the CUA to virsanh sp16.

My password on boot up i thought included an @ but it includes a ". When i try to change it once the Mac is on it says it's changed but on boot up it requires the latter again?

My password on boot up i thought included an @ but it includes a ". When i try to change it once the Mac is on, it says it's changed but on boot up it requires the latter again? I think this is because i changed the keyboard to British PC but why won't the change happen so that when i boot up it changes as when i go in to profiles and change my USER password it says it's an @ already but when i turn it on it needs me to put in the " ???

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

Changed icloud username and password can't access other devices

I have three devices from which I use the same iTunes and ICloud account. I changed my username and password on the accounts yesterday. Now I am only able to get it to work on my IPhone 5S. My daughter's IPhone 4 and my IPad will not accept the new passwords. I can't access FaceTime or IMessage on those devices as it keeps prompting me that it is incorrect and to reset. If I reset, it won't work on my IPhone 5S. Help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Please help me change the username and password for the SSID.
I hope in the able example the password is cisco.
Thanks you.

Hi,
This should be asking you only the password not the username as you have confired with wpa-psk. What client device are you testing this with? If this is wondows machine please choose your sececurity as WPA-Personal on the wireless profile and then it would asked for the Security Key..You will have to enter your password there. The password from the configuration i can see it as cisco.
wpa-psk ascii 7 cisco
Hope thats helos,
Regards

Seahorse won't accept a blank password

I want to set up automatic login, so I'm trying to blank the password on my login keyring. When I go through the change password flow in seahorse, though, it refuses to accept the blank password. I get a dialog with a grayed-out continue button, and all I can do is cancel. Is this a configuration issue? Any help appreciated.

Correct. Most of the talk online seems to be about how to get to this point (View -> by keyring, etc.), but everything I've read suggests I should be seeing that button now.

Cannot make several changes at once

Hi,
I have Contribute installed onto a computer and i am able to connect to the server via FTP.
When I edit 1 thing on the website and go to draft and publish it will upload the change i have made and it is visible on the website, but when i make several changes at once then go to draft and publish then it says it cannot access the FTP server.
Does anyone know how to fix this? or hae had similar issues?
cheers,
Phil.

did not work. it's doing the same thing. the password does not contain any invalid keys
live chat does not support the BEFW11S4 version2. they told me to call 800-326-7114 for help
and the wireless functionality is working. i can connect to my network with my laptop. I just can't change anything on the configuration page (192.168.1.1) because it never recognizes my password except to login to the page.

How to change a users login password via single user mode, plus multiple issues?

So, there is much to this Thread.
(First Issue)
A lil back ground, i'm working on a MacBook Pro 3,1 running OS X Tiger 10.4.(something, no idea), the The user has forgotten their account password. Now before you tell me to just change it through the Root Admin account, that account seems to have its own issues, the accounts do not show up in the system preferences, therefore not allowing me to change that users account password.
(Second Issue)
Once I'm able to login into the users account, is there any way to disable / erase / eradicate the key chain system?
(Third Issue)
All of a sudden the MacBook has lost all audio capability, both in the built in speakers and through the headphone jack.
i'm open to any ideas, its currently 10:14am the user is wanting this to be done by 2:45pm please help i'm desperate and i don't want to be defeated by a Mac

It's possible some of these things are related. I'd first do a basic verification of the computer's system.
First, if at all possible make a backup of the drive in its present configuration. If something goes wrong during repair attempts and makes things worse you will have a backup. You will have to decide how to work this in the light of any present backups you may have, for example, a backup that may be a few days out of date. In that case you may want to keep that one and make a second backup of this as they are now, though I realize people often don't have a lot of empty drives sitting around.
Boot from the System installer disc that came with your computer or is the one for the version you currently have on there, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."

I cant change my icloud account password, email was hacked and need this all changed

I cant seem to change my icloud account info, need to change the email and password. was able to change it on the computer once but cant change that in my phone or ipad. any ideas

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if running iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I recently changed my apple id password and I was prompted to enter the new password onto icloud on my mac. The problem is whenever i try to press enter or forgot password or sign out or pretty much anything, it just makes a sound.

It won't let me do anything, I can even try to minimize the window. I tried shutting down my computer and it still pops up. Also, because of this, I can't access anything else in my system preferences. Help!

Hello, I realize this solution is long overdue however I'm posting my solution to help others. I JUST had the exact same problem. I recently changed my apple ID password. Everything accepted the new password except my MAC. When I booted up my Macbook pro, a message would pop up saying "cannot Back my MAC." Something like that. Then I would be prompted, within system preferences, to enter my password. Both my new and old passwords wouldn't work. I couldn't sign out, seek help, click on "forget" and every time I tried something, it would make the "noise" and just shake the message box.
After several failed attempts to fix based on forum suggestions and google research, I stumbled upon a solution myself. I went into iCal, Address Book, and Mail and manually deleted iCloud from each of these. Then I added iCloud back to each of them, using my new password, and the verification worked!! I rebooted my MAC and the same message came up "cannot Back my MAC." I was once again prompted to enter my apple ID password and the new password was accepted!! I rebooted one more time to be sure. Everything was synced.
I hope this helps someone else out there. Very frustrating when something so simple, like a password change, can wreak so much havoc!!!

How do you enter a blank password in ssh

im trying to log into an account via ssh, the account has no password and when i hit enter in the prompt in the terminal it just says password again, what do i do
ps no i cant just change the password on the other account

leaving aside the fact that allowing ssh access with a blank password is a monstrously bad idea...
you'd have to enable ssh with an empty password on the computer you are trying to ssh to. It is disabled by default (and a good thing that it is too!). this has to be done by and admin user on that computer by modifying the file /etc/sshd_config. see this link
http://www.osxfaq.com/man/8/sshd.ws
Unless this is done, there is nothing you can do on your end and you won't be able to ssh into that account.
