Changing Shared Disks Password

Hi All
I want to change the setting of my disk for shared disks from "With a disk password" to "with accounts" and when I do non of the files that was set up with a disk password show in with accounts. I do disconnect and then reconnect but no joy.
Has anyone elso come across thisproblem and if so how do you resolve it?

If you want to work with accounts you need to do it from original setup.. you cannot apply accounts to an already loaded TC and expect to access the files.
Dump all the files to USB.. setup accounts and then copy all the files back.
But you should realise you have no improvement in security whatsoever if anyone has access to the TC.. they can just press reset button and all the accounts are gone and any files can be accessed.. it is totally inadequate as a security measure.. you are better setting up a encrypted file and adding files to it. And use encrypted TM if you are trying to stop other people getting access to your files.

* Changing Airport Disk Password? *

can anybody tell me how to do this in Tiger? my password for the disk isn't working, so I need to reset it.
thanks

Open AirPort Utility.
Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click the Disks button, and then click File Sharing.

Shared Disks on AEBS - Secure Passwords - Multiple Users

I posted this on the Digital Life forum. No joy. Not sure if this is an AEBS issue or a Leopard issue.
I need to have different access rights to disks or folders on disks connected to the AEBS. One disk (or folder) is the Everyone shares disk (or folder) for Time Machine backups and shared files.
And, I need to have a separate disk (or folder) for personal information that I can access but other users cannot access.
I already tried setting permissions on the shared disks, but it will not allow me to add users. I already tried changing the AEBS from a Disk Access password to an Accounts schema, but it will not allow me to change folder permissions based on the named Accounts. (.. and I don't want to buy Leopard Server version.)
Anyone got a scheme to make this work?

Yep. You solved my problem. Thank you!
I did not go far enough.
Just in case anyone else wants to try this, some notes.
1.) I had to reformat (Partition and Erase) the disk. When making the conversion from a shared disk to accounts, it loses access to the previous data on the disk. In order to avoid losing that space, it was necessary to physically connect the drive to the computer, reformat, then reattach to the AEBSn; then set up the accounts.
2.) I had to restart the computers to connect to the new shared drive.
3.) This set up is using a separate drive (LaCie Quadra 300 gb) connected via USB to an AEBSn.
I am a happy camper. Thank you for your assistance!

Changed to "Securing shared disk: with accounts" and lost previous data?

I installed a TC in July and have been doing Time Machine backups to it ever since. Today, I decided to add File Sharing accounts using the Airport Utility. I created two accounts. The next time Time Machine ran, it failed on login. I reconfigured it to use one of the two new accounts, and (not surprisingly, in retrospect) it began a complete, new backup.
The Finder tells me that 150GB of the TC disk is already in use. I hope that's the space used by my former backups... but how do I find them? Whenever I try and open the TC in the Finder, I'm prompted for one of the new account/passwords, neither of which allows me to view any of the former data.
Is it possible to access data that was written to the TC disk prior to my switching to account-controlled file sharing?

Actually, it turns out it was still there and accessible. I went back to Airport Utility and switched "Securing shared disk" back to using a disk password, as before, and there was the "full" disk . . . containing my original sparseimage file, as well as a new Users folder and a Shared folder. The latter contained the sparseimage file from the new backup.
I hope that I can replace the new sparseimage file (in /Shared) with the original one (in /), and switch back to using accounts to control access to the TC disk.

Hi John,
After changing the password only, I am getting the Oracle error"[Hyperion][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-28001: the password has expired" in shared services log.
I changed the password for the schema called "System". But i configured my hyperion system with different schema "Hypconfig".

Unable to change or disable the KNOWN Hard disk password in BIOS

Hello,
I am having few problems with my new TP W500. I have enabled BitLocker Encryption in Vista Ultimate SP1 after I got my laptop and disabled it later. After a while I noticed that HD password option along with the passphrase option in the BIOS got grayed out and I cannot make any changes to the HD password. I know the HD password, system is booting up after I enter the HD password but very same password for the same hard disk is not working when I plug the Hard Disk into my TP T60p.
Called Lenovo support in Atlanta but they could not figure it out. They think HD got stuck encrypted eventhough I decrypted with BitLocker and formatted. Also called Hitachi and they don't have any idea about it. I also cleared and turned off the TPM in addition to clearing and disabling the security chip but non of these actions were helpful to disable or change the KNOWN HD password. I wonder if reflashing the BIOS would solve it.
I would appreciate if anyone has an idea about this issue.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just wanted to get back with this issue in case someone else is having the same problem. Lenovo finally decided to replace the mother board on my laptop and this issue finally got fixed. Now I am able to remove/change my hard disks passwords.

AirPort Utility allows changing Time Capsule disk password with a device password only

Hello!
I just noticed that changing disk password is allowed for anyone who has a Time Capsule device password. (AirPort Utility WIndows version)
I find that illogical.
Is it a kind of bug or it is intended to be this way?

Well, lets say that you had friends or other family members that use the Time Capsule for wireless connections.
And, you have files on the Time Capsule drive that you only want to share with one other person. If you use a disk password, only the person with the disk password will be able to see the files on the drive.
If you don't set up a disk password, then anyone who is using the Time Capsule wireless will be able to see the files on the drive.
So, if you want everyone to have access to the files on the drive, then use the device password.
If you do not want everyone to have access to the files on the drive, then use a disk password

Shared Disk - can't connect with Fast User Switching

Hi,
I've created a Disk on my Time Capsule, and shared it via "File Sharing", it's secured "with a disk password", and is working well ... sort of. I can connect to it with no issues, and so can my wife via her MacBook Pro. However, if I'm signed into my account, and she accesses her account using Fast User Switching, she can't connect to the shared volume. She has to Disconnect, and then reauthenticate, and after doing so, I can't connect to the shared volume. I must Disconnect, and reconnect. Why is this? Is there an authentication file that's set up some where on the root of the shared computer, that's preventing us from being able to signin to the shared volume? Or is something broken?
Thanks!

How to change Analyzer user password with Administration API?

Hi, I would like to change Analyzer user password with Administration API. Can someone post some sample commands to do the task? I would just like to write an application to change end user's Analyzer password. As I see I would need to do the following: 1. login with admin userid/password 2. execute some method to change password for required userid. I think the input parameter should be userid (of the user I would like to change password) and new password (the new password for the user). 3. logout Can someone post some sample code (commands to execute)? Thanks, grofaty My system: Analyzer Server 7.0.1. Essbase server 7.1 Windows XP SP2 

<blockquote>quote: <hr>Originally posted by: knightrich Hello Mr. Jordan. I would like to exchange some thoughts about "housekeeping" Analyzer reports in preparation for migration from Analyzer 7.0.0.0.01472 to 9.x: ... Did you solved such a problem or do you have an idea if it could be solved with the Admin API methods? ... Migration from 7.00 to 9.x: As we heard last week the "Migration Wizard for Reports" in 9.3 should be able to migrate reports. Do you have experience or more detailed information about that Wizard? Many thanks in advance knigthrich<hr></blockquote> knighrich, I'd like to be more help, but I have no experience with System 9. I did substantial cleanup when we migrated from Analyzer 6 to Analyzer 7.1, and even more cleanup when moving up to 7.2, but our installation is smaller in scale than yours and we didn't need to automate report cleanup. You might be able to get the ownership information you need through the back door, doing a direct query on the database, but simpler might be an export users, at least from 7.0. (This facility probably doesn't exist in system 9; it was dropped in 7.2 in favor of an undocumented API) The export file is an xml file that could easily be parsed to identify reports that have the administrator as user and then a second pass to delete those with otuer ownership as well. As previously suggested, you might be able to get this by a well crafted SQL query against the repository. Procedurally, we have both public reports that have the blessing of management and are widely available, owned by a "public owner", and private reports developed by indivdual users and shared or not. Our team maintains the public reports, but not the private reports. We may be asked to make a previously private report public and take over maintenance of it. I hope that you can find a solution that meets your needs. Certainly a call to customer support to identify a poorly documented feature would be in order.

I am the founder of a non-profit organization, a donor had just given us her used iBook G4. What do I need to do to wipe out her "stuff", change username and password, start all over new. We will use this iBook in our learning center in Saigon, Vietnam

To good citizens of the MAC world,
I am the founder of a non-profit organization, we are caring for 6,200 orphans and street kids in Vietnam. A donor had just donated her used iBook G4 for us to use in one of our several "learning centers" in Vietnam. Folks sometimes donating PC but this is the first time we ever received a MAC.. :-) I would like to know how to start this iBook all over new: change username and password. I am looking so forward to bring it to Saigon in a few days and let our children experience MAC ... I am a 2 years MAC users and I have no intention to return to the Dark side. Please help. I have the original OS disk. Thank you so much.

There should be no need to zero the hard drive.
Using the Restore discs that came with the iBook when it was new, restore the system software using the appropriate instructions which you can find through a link contained in this Apple Knowledge Base article:

Good luck with it.

Error while trying to change the user password on OSX Lion

Hello,
I am trying to change the user password ( no admin user ) using the webinterface. I enabled the functionality in webservices on the server.
I can loginto the three line password changing form. After I enter the old and two times the new password, I get the information
"Your request could not be completed. The password server may be unavailable."
How can I fix this problem? I also tried https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2485167?start=0&tstart=0.
Thanks in advance for help.

I currently have this error on my 10.6.8 ML server when trying to change password.
In my situation, the message definitely comes from the password policies. As soon as I use a new password that respects minimum complexity (e.g. 8 characters min, 1 lowercase letter, 1 uppercase letter, 1 number), the password changes flawlessly.
It would be nice to change this horrible message to something more meaningful... If someone has any ideas on how to do this, thanks for sharing!

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

Greetings,
Questions:
What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
Troubleshooting:
Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
If that doesn't take care of it:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Change of icloud password doesn't allow to share screen on mini

Just changed my ICloud password for security reasons, all the devises are OK, but the Mini in my network. It does not allow to see the shared screen, no Apple ID nor user name allow to enter. What can be a problem? Tnx

What do you mean by "shared screen?" Are you using a special app that lets the ipad act as an external monitor for a computer or are you trying to remotely control another computer using a shared screen?

Time Capsule: Files lost after Secure Shared Disk: with accounts

I Changed the Disks: Secure Shared Disk option to 'with accounts' on my Time Capsule and now all files are invisible. It looks the files must be still on the disks because of the amount of free/used bytes used that is displayed.
How can I restore the 'old' files?

Restore the old files by removing the accounts.. ie press and hold reset.. once you go back to a reset all files are available again anyway so the security is illusionary.
If you want to secure files encrypt them.
BTW the old airport utility would have warned you that what you were doing will stop access to your files.
Of course the latest toyland utility probably showed you nothing.
Never start accounts with files on the TC.. you should offload them.. create accounts then load them back.. to the illusion of security at least.

Cannot connect to USB shared disk

The other day got my new Airport Extreme-n and up unitl now it has worked solidly. The most annoying problem is accessing shared USB disks. I have attached a USB disk to the ABE and it is recognized. Then, enabled disk sharing with a simple disk password for testing purposes. The is as far as the documentation goes however.
I am guessing the Airport Disk Utility is supposed to mount these shared USB disks. The only thing I am seeing is "NO Disk Found"
The disk has been formatted in both HFS and FAT32 and still the same results, nothing. I even accessing the shared disk through a windows share and sometimes I can but it will not let me add or retrieve files.
Ant help would be great. Thank you.

Unfortunately this has become a known issue in the meantime and Apple is supposed to be working on it. Usually this happens when the APExtreme gets disconnected from your computer (e.g. power loss or taking your mobile mac to another location). The following is not really a solution but better then nothing:
1) Connect your USB HD directly to your computer and wait for recognition and mounting
2) Disconnect properly
3) reconnect the USB HD to your APE
4) it should be recognised
5) hope for a soon software-update
