Contribute CS3 Requires Startup Password

I administer 30 or more websites. Have been working with
Contribute since version 2. Never required that I type in a
password to open up the program. Yesterday when I installed
Contribute CS3, and opened it up, it required a startup password. I
have no idea what it wants as I have never set a password. The
program is now unusable to me.
I sat on the phone for 6 1/2 hours yesterday with Adobe
support waiting for someone to come on to help with this issue. My
phone battery finally quit. Have also sent out a request for help
on this issue. No response.
I am getting a bit desperate as people are depending on me...
does anyone have a solution to this?

Make sure it says "Enter Password, please enter your
Contribute startup password try the following" If this is not the
prompt you get, other prompts could be asking for CPS or your FTP
login, so make sure the prompt is what you are getting before going
any further into this registry fix. If you are not a local
administrator on your computer you may not be able to make this
fix.
1. From the Run command, type in regedit to bring up the
Registry
2. Drill into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER >SOFTWARE
>Contribute 4.1> Security Preferences.
3. Now select this folder and go to File> Export > and
name this file something like backupsecuritypref.reg
4. Once the export is done, right click on the Security
Preferences, check Permissions, make sure your user name is part of
the security group. Highlight your user name and then verify that
you have Full Control to the folder.
5. Now double click on the blue key Always Prompt for
StUpPWD, you'll see a value name Always Prompt for StUpPWD. Toggle
the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change the value data
from 1 to 0 with the.
6. Go to the next blue key, Require PWD, and do the same
thing. Toggle the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change
the value data from 1 to 0.
7. Try to open Contribute again, if it is not opening, try to
import the backup file backupsecuritypref.reg via the
registry.

    Hi,

    Anyway, try this out.
    In the command prompt,

  • Email sent regularly requires a password. This is something new. Has something/a preference been contaminated? Can this be easily remedied ? I"m on MAC 10.6.8

    Outgoing mail regularly requires a password.
    This is something new.
    Has something/a preference been contaminated?
    Can this be easily remedied ?

    Another person had asked this question and you should see if you can select
    to Always Allow the function you've had to add a password in order to perform
    as a default action, so you won't have to enter it each time... See this discussion:
    Mail password
    Hopefully this helps. You may also wish to use disk utility and choose First Aid
    and run 'repair disk permissions' to see if that helps, if the above does not. And
    there may also be a need for additional user maintenance should it not work.
    {The easiest would be to see if a SafeBoot on startup helps, as it can check
    and attempt to repair some system files; then restart normally. It won't hurt.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Need help installing Contribute CS3

    I'm stuck on reinstalling my Contribute CS3. I've clicked on Local/Network on the question " How do you connect to your web server?" in the connection wizard part of the installation process and have no idea how to answer the next question they ask which is "What is the network path to your web site?" Can anyone help me on this

    I unfortunately can't talk you through the process step by step.. I don't have the same version you're using and cannot reinstall english CS3, nor do I know where exactly in the whole process you're at now. I suppose the install of Contribute CS3 finished and you're now faced with having to create a new connection.
    In order to do so, you prolly have to chose Edit > My Connections (exact names might be a bit off, I am using a German version) from Contributes main menu, then click "New.."
    Where you went the wrong way the last time was by selecting "I am connecting to my website via... Local/Network". Choose "FTP" instead.
    You'll need your FTP login data, if you didn't write that down, you need to ask your hosting company to send it to you.
    You're looking for the following pieces of information:
    FTP host name - usually looks kinda like this: ftp.mysite.com
    FTP user name
    FTP password
    perhaps ftp folder - thats the folder where your "start page" is located, most times this can be left blank however.
    If your site was protected with an Administrator password, you'll need that as well. Chances are your hosting company doesn't know it - it was set by whomever created the homepage and first enabled it for use with Contribute.
    Adobe Support might be able to talk you through the setup process on the phone, but in order for them to do so, you'll need to have the above info at hand before you call them.
    Is it possible that somebody setup your homepage for you and was sending you a Contribute connection keyfile? That would explain why you never had to go through these steps before. If that's the case, it might be easier to ask that person for another copy of the connection key file..

  • Contribute CS3 embeds the contents of SSI Includes into page after Edit and Publish

    I have tried every possible way to figure this out but it
    seems as though no one has this problem or a solution...
    My Dreamweaver CS3 Template based files that have SSI
    Includes placed in a "non-editable region" of a template and/or
    nested templates are continually embedded, merged, or hard-coded (I
    used those keywords for anyone else who might be searching for help
    on this frustrating issue) into the page after it has been edited
    and published with Contribute CS3 for Windows.
    After many, many, hours and days rebuilding templates
    (thinking that it was my code), experimenting with .htaccess
    include_path variables, and cursing this application, I have come
    to one conclusion - if I put my includes within "editable regions"
    in the templates or the template based pages, edit and publish the
    page with Contribute - then the page is saved normally, with the
    includes intact and not embedded within the page. This is of course
    not necessarily desirable!
    I have tried using various types of include directives like:
    <?php include('footer.inc'); ?>
    <?php require('footer.inc'); ?>
    <?php virtual(footer.php'); ?>
    <!--#include file="footer.inc"-->
    <!--#include virtual="footer.inc"-->
    All Includes are merged into the template-based page after
    the page has been edited and published with Contribute - if they
    are in "non-editable regions"!
    Please, someone point me in the right direction - if it's
    calling Adobe's Help line, or posting the files or whatever. I
    can't finish this project and hand off to the client until this is
    resolved.

  • Contribute CS3 Can't Edit Roller Blog

    I'm just starting to use Contribute CS3 (Mac) to see if I
    want to use it vs. Ecto that use now for my Blog. The server is
    Apache Roller Weblogger v 4.0-dev. I setup my blog using Other Blog
    Server options using an access point of
    http://<my
    domain>/roller-services/xmlrpc. This is the same AP that Ecto
    uses which works.
    It looks like I'm connected ... when I go to choose File or
    Blog Entry my blog appears I click on open and it shows my blog
    pages (BTW I'm using
    one of the roller themes for my page). I select the page I
    want to edit then click on edit and nothing happens???
    What's the trick to this?

    Roller is supported in CS3. Your access point looks ok. I
    enter access point as "
    http://<server-name>:<port>/roller/xmlrpc"
    ..Please check if your access point is correct. If your access
    point is correct and you still face problem, can you please send me
    your roller server details(access point, username and password) on
    lkaur(at)adobe.com . Your details will be kept confidential. I
    would be more than happy to help you out for same.

  • Contribute CS3 CPS client install?

    I've used Contribute 3 in the past, using ftp and sending
    keys to folks who need them. I also had to install Contribute 3 on
    their client machine. I'm researching Contribute CS3 CPS and have
    some questions for which I could not find specific answers to in my
    research:
    1. would I still need to install Contribute CS3 on a client's
    machine?
    2. using ldap, I would no longer have resend keys when my
    password expires, correct (I am the admin)? so, would the client be
    responsible for updating their password if and when it expires?
    So far these all the questions at this stage. Thank you for
    any assistance.

    If you do not plan to administer a site with only Contribute
    CS3, go to Administer site> Compatibility> set to Transition.
    This will allow you to use other versions of Contribute. This
    error message can be fixed by doing the following (back up your
    .csi file for the site prior to changing this setting).
    1. Navigate to the folder \_mm\ on your server and open the
    file named - cthub*.csi
    (example: cthub6f52d6a5152350b4.csi) in NOTEPAD or any text
    editor...
    2. Change the second line contents in the XML from a value of
    2 to 1 for read_vers_minor
    Then save the file and relaunch Contribute CS3 but make sure
    you have set the mode to Transition.

  • Contribute CS3 Login Issue

    I can not log into my Contribute CS3 however I have the correct password and username. How can I fix this issue so I can get logged in?

    I thought I would post my own solution just in case someone
    else might experience the same. It is most likely I inadvertantly
    posted an out of date Application.cfc or login.cfm file that
    referenced a data source no longer in use. Once these files and the
    datasource were reconciled, all went well. Such a "simple" thing
    that took a good day to resolve.

    You saved it after setting the Password? :

  • Adobe Contribute CS3 Connection Error

    I am trying to use Adobe Contribute CS3 Version 3.1 to connect our web server.  I can use WS_FTP and WinSCP to connect to it fine.  Our web server is running under CentOS 5.x.  When I try to connect using the connection wizard in Contribute, I receving the following error:
    Contribute cannot verify your connection information. 
    /tmp
    Please  contact your administrator for assistance.
    I have tried both FTP and SFTP.  Again, I can login, navigate to /tmp and upload, download, and delete files fine using WinSCP.  Can someone let me know what Contribute is trying to do to verify the connection?  Is there a log file?  Any help is appreciated.

    When I first tried to connect to our web server, I received a similar error.  What worked for me was getting rid of the folder designation when trying to connect in Contribute (in your case /tmp) and allowing users to have permissions to access all folders on the web server.  I create Contribute roles to limit the users to specific folders.
    I hope that helps.

  • How to enable login screen which doesn't require a password

    I'm setting up an image for a computer lab. The computers that are currently in this lab auto login. However, in the off case that a student accidentally (or maybe purposefully) locks the computer, we want them to be able to simply click the user account
    picture and it logs in without asking for a password. The current Windows 7 PCs in this lab work that way, but whoever set them up can't remember how this was accomplished and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get it done. Currently, if I lock the
    PC, it just brings me to the login screen with a blank username & blank password field.
    These machines are not on the domain. Does anyone have any idea how to get this behavior out of the login screen?

    BYPASS LOGIN
    Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type netplwiz and press Enter. Remove the tick from “Users must enter a user name and password” > OK. You may have to type the user account name/password just the once to complete the process.
    BYPASS ENTERING A PASSWORD AFTER WAKEUP
    To bypass entering a password after hibernation, go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Require a password on wakeup (in the left pane) and put a check mark in Don’t require a password.

  • Although I turned off WiFi, set as 'require admin password to turn on and off wifi, when I turn on my MacBook Pro, retina latest model, just got for a month, it turns on wifi automatically, is this a back door or virus or security hole? Thank you

    I have my all networks at 'Off' status in the system panel, never use Bluetooth either, also in the top status bar, and set as 'require admin password to turn on and off WiFi', but when I turn on my MacBookPro 15" retina newest model only one month old, it goes on to WiFi automatically by itself.
    Is this a back door? Security hole?
    The other day, I was taking a break for five minutes, when I came back, the Microsoft outlook is open for setting up an account, I never use outlook, it is there only because it comes with the office package. Also, iTunes was playing music, I don't use iTunes when I'm working. Both were not on before I left for the break.
    What is the problem?
