Changing VNC password via ssh

I am trying to change the built in VNC password remotely via ssh. Where is the VNC password stored? Can I remove the password line to reset it? Any other ideas on this issue. Yes, I did forget the it.

Migration Assistant created new account to deposit all my stuff, but I can't access that account, even after changing the password via the main acct'

I am at my wits end. The migration assistant created a new profile (I didnt konw that it would do this) and now I can't get into that profile with all the stuff from my old PC.
I have tried changing password via the main account, but to no avail. I have researched issues with Keychain, but all it tells me to do is change the login password - that doesnt work either - I cant get to all my files.

Migraine Assistant it's called.
Delete the account from the main one, create a new account and transfer files manually via a regular FAT external drive you pickup at any office or computer store, Mac's can read it.

Changing OD Password via Command Line

How can i change the OD password via the command line? passwd doesn't do it because the password is still marked as "User must change password on next login"
I have a Mac OS X server (10.4.6) set up for Mobile users for mac os x clients (10.4.2-6) and I'm also setting up for a PDC for out windows computers. Right now the only hold up is if the password is expired in OD, windows is unable to change the password. So I'm going to custom edit my smb.conf with the proper settings since Mac OS X doesn't seam to do it.

anyone?
basicly i need to know if there is a command line program to changet users OD passwords and mark the password has been changed in OD.
is this posable? and whats the command?

Change Wallet password via sqlplus

Is there a way to change the wallet password through SQLPlus? I can't find any documentation for changing the password in this way. I created the wallet and password using this command:
alter system set wallet open identified by "password1";
I don't want to use Wallet manager or orapki because there is a bug with them for 11.2.0.1 in which is corrupts your wallet. The solution is to upgrade to 11.2.0.2 but I am not ready for that yet.
Doc 1301365.1 point #3
BUG 9215461

We are running into the same issue. We are on 11.2.0.1 on linux x86-64. We were intending to implement TDE, but found out the known limitations with TDE on 11.2.0.1 were too extreme to feel comfortable enabling this (see Known TDE Wallet Issues [ID 1301365.1]). We also need to update to 11.2.0.2, but because we have a Grid infrastructure and 4-node cluster, the downtime would be extreme to perform the patching. We have a ticket open with oracle to provide patches on 11.2.0.1, but there is no ETA.
There are a few patches that address the ability to recreate the wallet, however applying these patches, caused me to run into the wallet corruption issue where OWM and orapki no longer recognize the password, even though that same password can close and open the wallet correctly from sqlplus.
So at the moment, we are dead in the water on enabling TDE due to these limitations. Our options are to update to 11.2.0.2, or wait for the 11.2.0.1 patches.

SSH change default port via ssh.plist

Right after the IP Address, I enter a colon followed by the port to which I'm connecting. This works great. I also downloaded an application called CoRD which works really well.
As an aside I have to say that I'm disappointed at the Apple community for not responding to this post. I'm a long time Windows user (since there was a Windows) and I've always had posts in the Windows Forums answered within 24 hours. I've had questions in the past on other Apple related issues which also have gone un-answered. If this is the de-facto standard .. I'm beginning to get nervous.

How to change a password for an OpenLDAP user, which fails when using Lion's System Preferences?

The Problem
Users are unable to change their password using System Preferences -> Users & Groups on a Mac that is connected to an LDAP server (specifically, OpenLDAP).
This error appears to be a result of OS X 10.7.4 now sending the username of the user rather than their full DN (e.g. it's sending bobsmith, notuid=bobsmith,ou=Users,dc=companyname,dc=com).
(a bug report for this issue has been filed with Apple and can be seen on OpenRader @http://openradar.appspot.com/11768796)
Steps to Reproduce:
Try to change the password using the System Preferences -> Users & Groups prefpane on Lion. It fails with the following error message:
The password for the account “bobsmith” was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.
Expected Results:
The password should be changed.
Actual Results:
The error appears, and on the LDAP server, an error like the following is logged:
Jun 28 08:42:21 ldap3 slapd[7810]: conn=10518785 op=2 RESULT oid= err=21 text=Invalid DN
This error appears to be a result of OS X 10.7.4 now sending the username of the user rather than their full DN (e.g. it's sending bobsmith, notuid=bobsmith,ou=Users,dc=companyname,dc=com)
Notes: This was encountered by someone else over at the AFP548.com forums who ended up patching their LDAP server to resolve the issue. This shouldn't require patching LDAP to resolve, however. Lion needs to (at least have an option to) send the full DN of a user requesting to change their password, not the short username:
Text from above forum link (in case it is taken down):
So, I’ve got this OpenLDAP server with network home directories at home that all of my Mac machines authenticate to. Everybody can bounce around to whatever Mac is available. It works great.
Anyway, with Snow Leopard, I was able to change user passwords via System Preferences. However, that got broken when I upgraded to Lion (amongst other things). Both Snow Leopard and Lion send exop’s to the ldap server, but for whatever reason, the id is screwed up in Lion (or at least, it’s screwed up on the two machines at home I tested this with). Instead of sending the user’s DN, e.g. “uid=user,cn=users,ou=something,dc=somewhere,dc=com”, the ldap server is only sent the uid, e.g. “user”. The ldap server is expecting a DN here, so naturally, it fails with the error “Invalid DN”.
Bummer.
So, to work around that, I had to patch OpenLDAP (version 2.4.26 in this case). Now, when my server can’t resolve the id it’s given during a password change, it will look at the bind DN, and if the id string is contained within the bind DN string, it will just use the bind DN as the entry to change. I figured this would still allow me to manually specify password changes via an admin account while still giving users the ability to change their own passwords without having to point them at a webpage (lame).
I should point out that all my accounts have the uid as part of the DN… I guess if you were doing some kind of crazy SASL mappings, this might not work for you…
Anyway, here’s the patch in case anyone else is interested… If it works for you, great. If not, oh well.

Why cant i change user password or pwdlastset after delegation for only certain users in an ou?

I remembered a while ago I used delegate control to assign the ability to reset pwd and reset change on next logon. It seems to work for some users but not others in same ou. effective permissions shows I have write access to the attribute for
the user; see imgur link below. the box for change pwd at next logon is gray. attribute editor tab doesn't allow me to edit it either. domain admins can change it. I'm wondering what else I should check out cus everything I know says
I have the right to change it.

I think this is a problem with the user object rather than the ou. Reasoning is that I can reset a password for a user in the same OU but not for another user in the same OU. Two users, same ou. I can reset one but not the other.
Effective Permissions shows I am granted permisiion to do so.
I believe the error was access denied when we tried to change the password via vbscript.
@seansobey - I applied the delegation at a ou higher in the tree. I forget how I had it apply down the tree but I confirmed that the acl is correct
and applied to the user
@Travis Vogel - It looks like the user with this problem is a part of Domain Users. I think the ACL is applied to the user because it shows in
the security window and effective permissions shows I have permission to reset the password. However, I see this other user is a part iof the builtin user group and the problematic user account is not. I may try adding the problematic user account
to that group and testing. It'll have to wait until tomorrow though.

The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.

I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.

I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.

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!

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.

Account locked. I am not receiving an email to change my password. I have tried 4 times.

My Mother, over the weekend, managed to get her account locked after misstyping her email multiple times. This is not the first time this has happened, so she went through the process of trying to change her password, via getting an email sent to her from Apple. If you read the title of the thread, you'd see my problem. Here we are, 4 days later, and we've yet to receive an email from Apple allowing us to change her password.
I've applied for Apple to send us the email so we can reset her password multiple times, not counting how many times she tried over the weekend as she was out. I'd like to know why we're not receiving this email, because we've had to go through this process before, and it's gone without a hitch.

HT4798 Resetting password via Apple ID (fail)

Macbook 2010ish. I am changing my password via the Apple ID reset option, which I enabled. It's failing after I go through the process to change it (even to 1234 so I know there is no typo).
10.7.2
I gave this laptop to my daughter and she can login, but I now need to access a few files I left on the machine. I cannot access my account. I made my daughter an administrator and I am also an administrator. I can see that I assigned my account my Apple ID. When I try and login, I choose to reset using the Apple ID. If I enter my Apple ID successfully, I get a screen to reset my password. I reset it to 1234 or 123456 or abCd123& -- whatever. Everything fails once I submit it.
I just need 6 files I worked on last summer (outlines) for a class I start teaching again this summer. Help!
When I am logged in as my daughter, I can visit the Users & Groups and see my account. I have an option to change my daughter's password, but this same option is not available on my account. I checked, "Allow user to reset password using Apple ID" and "Allow user to adminster this computer." I also made sure the Apple ID listed here is the same one I have and use. But I have yet to get this to work when trying to login.

I updated to 10.7.4 hoping that would help. Nope.
As soon as I try and reset the password by using the Master Password or my Apple ID, it fails (wiggles to show it failed). What could be rejecting these password changing attempts?

HT5312 I keep having to change my password because my other one didn't work. Why???

In the last month or so I have changed my password via "iForgot" at least 6 times. I have also changed the email password associated with my apple id several times thinking someone has hacked both. I don't know if anyone else is having these problems as well.

yes I have the same problem. I can't download any apps on my phone because itunes won't accept my apple ID password. I don't want to change it anymore or else I won't remember. Who can help?

You cannot "ssh passwd username" remotely, for one thing. Remember, the passwd command is going to ask for input from the terminal.
Also, look into the pfexec man page because you might need to change roles in order to change the password on the remote system.

My ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. Help!

my ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. when I continue to to try to enter the correct password in it finally freezes the account, and I have to go online via my desktop to fix that problem. I have two apple id's because when my ipod crashed I had to reset it completely. I have never had any problems with this before, and it has been a year since I got my second id, which is linked to the ipod. My first id is used for the cloud on the same device. My wife suggested I reset documentson the cloud for the second id, however, when I try to log on the cloud with my current id, it tells me I have to set up the cloud on that device, but it is already done, but with the old id.
confusing I know. I have been on the 'change your password merry-go-round' all day, and I'm getting dizzy! Help!

Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?

In a local network, I get access denied errors from macs that have the vnc password different than the Administrative login user password. I needed to change the Admistrator password which I did thru the Unix command in ARD2.
Now.
Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?
Example:
remote computer setup
Panther 10.3.9
vnc password - gopher
user ID - testARD with admin rights
user password - backdoor
ARD2 Computer setup
10.4.10
login ID - testARD
password - backdoor
I get the blue icon but get an 'access denied' error.
I change the password from backdoor to gopher.
I get the red with dash icon but, can get access to the computer.
What is going on? Is ARD2 using the VNC resource instead of ARDs resources?

A quick search of Google finds this <http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/settingremote_desktops_vnc_password_interminal>. I have not tested this myself.
