Changing login options?

I want to be able to set my Macbook Pro so that it will come up with a login screen when I turn it on, however when I go to "login options' on the Accounts preferences all of the options are greyed out so I can't change anything. Is there a way around this? I am the only user account on the computer and am admin so I would have thought I should be able to do this!
Thanks

  • Made a bad change to login options under user preferences, changed from "List of users" to "Name and password". I shut the computer down, now I can't login in when I turn the computer back on.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    Have Migrated data from IMAC to Macbook twice.  Because I had too many admin ids under user and accounts preferences, I was trying not to delete the extras but that they wouldn't all show at login time.  Under Login Options, I clicked out  "List of Users" and clicked in "Name and password".  Can't remember whether I did anything else.  I shut down the computer and turned it back on to test the change.  I get a dark grey screen with all my admin ids in circled pictures plus one for guest, but doesn't let me do anything with any of the admin ids.  I clicked on any one and nothing happens.  IF i click on the guest circle, it gives me a message that the computer will restart with only Safari allowed.
    Since I haven't been able to connect my macbook to my IMac so I can login to the macbook through the Imac, I can't get to my macbook.  There must be a way to fix this problem.  I expected to see places to enter name and password but nothing is allowed to enter.  Please help!

    First thing I would do would be to boot in to Lion Recovery (Command+R on boot) and run Disk Utility, both disk and permissions repair.

  • RE: (forte-users) Changing replication options in Fscript? -Tric k

    There was one attribute of a service object you couldn't change in fscript..
    I think it was whether the service was replicated at all or not (not the
    same as setting rep count to 1!).
    As Clint would say, "improvise.."
    We exported the project containing the service object and snipped out the
    part pertaining to the service object in to a little export file.
    Then in an fscript script you can branch/checkout the service object and
    import the snipped out export file to change the replicated yes/no flag.
    Then do whatever other fscript commands make sense.. We tended to leave the
    system baseline with the "true" replication flags and let developers run
    this little script (only branching the services) to de-replicate all the
    replicated services prior to trying to run from their workspace, etc.
    Worked like a charm.

    Yes you can do it, but you actually do it in EScript not FScript lookfor
    the following types of command "assignappcomp", "unassignappcomp",
    "setappcompcompiled", "setrepcount", "findagent", "findsubagent",
    "findparent" etc.. So start with your EScript manual.
    Happy scripting.

    You can set the the number of replicas through fscript BUT the service
    object in that partition has to be marked for LOADBALANCE. I didn't find a
    fscript command to do that (that was what mnasser was trying to tell you).
    But you can get around it by exporting the plan that has the service object
    and look for the string LoadBalance = FALSE, then change it to LoadBalance =
    TRUE. Import back the plan and you should be fine.

  • ISE Guest - Change Password Option

    Hi All
    Can anyone confirm that the change password option on the Guest Self Registration Portal actually works?
    I have enabled the options with the ISE Guest Portal to allow the Guest to create his own account and also to change his password.
    Although the self creation of the account works fine it doesn't look like changing the password works. When you enter the new password and click submit nothing seems to happen.
    ISE version is 1.2.1.198
    Regards
    Roger

    Hi Roger,
    Are you making use of customized self registration portal. In such cases make sure , the session ID of a particular guest login is carried forward to the password change page as well.
    For the html changes to any pages (login, aup, self_registration, self_registration_result,
    device_registration & change_password)  that link back to other pages. The below points A and B should be added as part of customized pages.
    A)Reference script (<script src="js/customportals.js"></script>)
    B)Add the onsubmit="getDynamicAction(this);" logic for posts
    Thanks

  • "Login Options" in "System Preferences"- Accounts gone.

    Hello,
    on some of our machines the "Login Options" can not be clicked any more.
    These machines are special:
    - They came preinstalled (and or are freshly installed) with Leopard
    - They are mostly Laptops without Network-homedirectories
    - They have (some) a second administrative user for the people who "own" the machine
    All other machines that we have are:
    - upgraded from Tiger to Leopard
    - have networked-home directories (via NFS/Autofs from Linux NFS Server)
    - one Administrative User
    - users come from LDAP (IBM-Tivoli, nothing with OSX-Server)
    We use the puppet configuration management tool to set up our machines. I have looked through all of the options that we set, but could not find any that could possibly cause this error.
    We have already:
    - deleted all preferences
    -- from the user (administrative)
    -- from the system
    -> Nothing changed
    The only possible thing that I can think of is:
    - We create users (at most 2) via the command line (with puppet).
    - I know that there is no "useradd" or something similar on OS X to enable easy commandline creation of users.
    - Could something in this process have gone wrong, such that the Accounts-Preferences were messed up?
    I would appreciate any help/hints.
    Thanks,
    udo.

  • Disabling Auto-Login Option

    How do we disable Auto-Login option in OBPM 10GR3 because I get the following error:-
    You have the autologin option enabled and the session for this execution has expired .

    So nobody else has been bitten by this stupid bug?
    Anyway, it happens on a pure VGA console too, so it has nothing to do with the video driver. And I take back the “more of an inconvenience” part – it is freaking annoying that one can not just properly change the runlevel. Oh well…

  • I'm the administrator and I cannot change some options in keychain

    I am the administrator of my computer and there are some options that I cannot change (they are a lighter text and the check mark box is filled in with grey) on system preferences (with some panes like the Accounts pane and others) and with keychain (under the 'edit' tab and the 'file' tab.) For instance with System Preferences under the Accounts pane, when it says "Allow this user to administer this computer" (with my user selected and after I have entered in my login password of-course) the box is selected, but the text is a light grey and I am unable to change the selection (not that I want to.)
    Now with keychain the text that says "Make Keychain Login 'Default'" under the file tab is a light grey and same with the text that says "Export Items..," even when I have unlocked the keychain. When I have selected the System item in the Keychain menu, I am unable to change the option "Change Settings for Keychain 'System'" and "Change Password for keychain 'System'" under the edit tab. Furthermore under the file tab, I am unable to change the option "Delete Keychain 'System'" and "Make Keychain 'System' Default." Finally under the Keychain Access tab itself I am unable to view the item that says "Show All." These are all with the keychain unlocked, and there are also many other options that I am not able to change. Can someone help me? Is there a hacker or a malicious program on my computer? Please help

    I believe that this is all normal behavior. I checked and my System Preferences and Keychain Access work the same way as yours. You should not worry about it.

  • Login Options - Display login window as: preference unavailable

    Hi:
    I apologise if this topic has been posted before, but I've been searching the web and these forums for awhile now and nothing similar has come up:
    Running 10.5.8, I set the preference for "Display login window as:" to list of users. Everything was working as I expected, until I hooked my computer up to my school's OS X network and now all I get is the regular login/password screen. When I go back to the Login Options prefpane, "Display login window as:" is now greyed out and I can't change anything.
    Any ideas about what happened?
    Thanks

    Have you tried returning to the school and connecting to the network since your settings changed? I would log into that network again and see if the box is accessible when you are logged in. (If it works, clamp the padlock on that setting.) If that doesn't help, in your shoes my next step would be finding the network administrator for the school and see if they might have a suggestion.
    Caveat: I am new to Leopard and have not been in your situation. But so far nobody has given you any suggestions, and mine won't make things worse.
    Good luck, and please post back with an update.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • Can someone help me? How do I change the option to pick where or what program I want to open a file after I've downloaded it? I tried to look for an option for this and can't find it anywhere.

    For example I download a file and I click on it and there will sometimes be a window that opens saying what program I want to open the file with? And then it'll also have a check box saying if I want to use this program for all files I download. I can't change it when I download the file because that one file I keep downloading keeps crashing my Firefox and I have to force quit. It's really getting on my nerves. It's an online statement I'm trying to view and I want to get rid of that problem!! Is there anyway to change that option without going to that download page?

    I would recommend going into device manager on your PC and making sure that you have correctly installed the IR dongle. Also what version of hotsync manager are you currently using?

  • How can I change view options for ALL playlists?

    How can I change view options for ALL playlists? With one single click or trick?
    I have a lot playlists and don't want to change every single one of them separatly.
    Thanks for your help. (I use Windows 7)

    There's no FAST way I know of, which is what I think you mean.
    Only the painful SLOW way of one-by-one.
    You could make a new playlist from the main library after you've set the columns up as you like.
    Go to an existing playlist that doesn't have the columns you want, and select all.
    RIght-click > Add to Playlist and send them to the new playlist.
    That's still one-by-one and only works with static playlists, not smart ones.
