Creating an AdHoc there is no password section
As I am trying to create an AdHoc I dont see a section where I can create a password for it when in all the tutorials and images I have seen there is a simple box underneath it but I only see "network name" and "channel". I am using OS X Yosemite fully updated.
Who is the administrator?
If it is root or wheel DO NOT TOUCH, as that is your system.
Or did you buy this computer 2nd hand?

How does one create a user with a null password in iManager?
I'm setting up LDAP authentication and need to create a user with a null password.
If you do not put a password in the password field when creating the user in iManager, a message pops up stating, No password has been defined for this user.
You are given a choice of:
Allow user to log in without a password
- or -
Do not allow user to log in without a password
If you choose Do not allow user to log in without a password, there are no complaints.
When I look at the properties of the newly-created user, however, I note that the "Require a password" checkbox is not filled in.
That would imply that the answer to the question posed during the user's creation is moot; either answer produces a user that can log in without a password.
I can then assign the Common Proxy password policy to the user, which does not dictate a minimum length for a password.
From that point forward, any attempts to leave the password field blank in iManager results in another pop-up message stating:
"Failure to enter a password will allow the user to login without a password."
That implies that no password exists for the user, as opposed to a null password.
Is that correct or are the public and private key for the user object still generated?If you do not specify a password, which is what happens when you select
the 'Do not allow user to log in without a password' option initially, the
user cannot login. A user with no password (meaning no password exists at
all, similar to a 'null' in programming) cannot login with a password
because, of course, they do not have a password.
If you specify a zero-length string as the password you are effectively
(and usually) creating a proxy user, for example to be used for the LDAP
service in eDirectory, and this user can login typing in a password (since
typing would imply one or more characters) but nevertheless there IS a
password, but it happens that it is zero-length, so typing nothing for the
password IS submitting the correct password. This is the option carried
out by eDirectory when you choose, 'Allow user to log in without a
password' (the prompt is a little misleading with its "without a password"
phrase).
Once you assign a UP policy you are telling the system that there SHOULD
be a password on the user (and with common proxy there definitely should
be, probably a strong one at that) so the only option now is whether or
not the password is zero-length or longer. Obviously longer is the
correct option for security reasons.
Good luck.

How to create a procedure to change randomly passwords
Hello,
I am trying to create a procedure to change randomly passwords for all users in a database. I need this after the database cloning. I have too many users to alter in a manual way...
Is there any option to create a procedure which will fetch all users in a database and alter them by a random password?
I was not able to find any clue.
Could you help me?
ThanksWelcome to the forum.
change randomly passwords for all users in a database.All users? Including SYS/SYSTEM? I hope not...
But you could use DBMS_RANDOM.STRING and ALL_USERS and dynamic SQL.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_random.htm#sthref4675
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_2114.htm#REFRN20302
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/dynamic.htm#LNPLS01101
(easy to find when you do a quick search from http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage or http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage)
DBMS_RANDOM.STRING can give you a random password easily:
select dbms_random.string('x', 10)
from dual
connect by level <= 10;Zo you could do something like:
begin
for rec in ( select t.username
, dbms_random.string('x', 10) new_pass
from all_users t
-- where t.username not in (...)
-- or
-- where t.username in (...)
loop
--execute immediate ' alter user '||rec.username||' identified by '||rec.new_pass;
dbms_output.put_line ('New password for user '||rec.username||' = '||rec.new_pass);
end loop;
end;
/You'll have to fill in the where-clause yourself/
I also commented out the dynamic alter user statement, since I'm not sure if you really want to reset the pwd's for all users.
Also, instead of using dbms_output.put_line to check the new passwords, you could insert them in a table or spool the output to a file. -
**want to create a user account from "Crypted Password" to "Open Directory"
I have create a user account with "user password type: Crypted Password"
is there any way I can script it to "user password type: open directory"
I've use perl-ldap to create user account but I don't know how to change user password type to open directory,
because my script will add a new node in the directory, I just need a way to make the "user password type" to "Open Directory" AT CREATION TIME, not modifing it after a have a user account, the script below will generate a node in the directory with "Crypted Password" as User Password Type,
is there any attribute I need to add to make it "Open Directory" or perl command, applescript, bash, objective c(hopefully not)....

That being said if you are trying to migrate Crypt accounts to OD accounts then the short answer is no. You need an unencrypted password to put the password into OD via a script do short of cracking the encrypted password, inserting it in plain text into the OD user account creation process then I don't think you can.
You should be able to dictate the password (and any other settings you can do from the GUI) but the password is the missing piece. Under really old OS X systems I actually suspect you can get passwords to export (hinted at by an Apple engineer I discussed this with) but there is probably a faster and more straightforward solution.
What I have done is export from NetInfo, clean the accounts via script and then reimport the accounts into the new system. I usually assign a password and dictate "Must change password at next login" and then email people the temporary passwords. It's been a while but I believe you can mass select and then dictate password settings so if that works for you create accounts with all the same password and then you can select by group and make changes - eg Must change password at login.
Good luck,

Have deleted account.
Created new existing mail account, enter server details, click test - the server details are found automatically. Then enter password and click ok - then Thunderbird hangs forever while saying that password is ok.
Alternatively - create new existing mail account without entering password, click ok, then procedure goes through, and the email gets created. However, it never asks for password. Even upon restart of Thunderbird and machine. There are no passwords saved under security settings

Is there anyway to password protect hidden photos in iPhoto

No, not selected photos within one library.
You could create a separate library for your secret photos and put this library on a password prtected sparse bundle, or keep this library in a separate user account. -
Hi All,
I am facing issues in creating adhoc network in Windows 8.1. After searching in internet, I found that adhoc works with
netsh commands.
1. I have tried neths commands and able to get it work on windows 8.1,
but I want to do it through the WLAN APIs ie. WlanConnect ,
2. I am able to initiate the adhoc network(on Windows 8.1) by using WlanConnect API and other device are also able to connect to the Windows8.1 initiated adhoc network but the DHCP is not working.
-> clients are not able to get the IP address.
Is it possible to create the adhoc network and get it work with WLAN APIs (WlanConnect) instead of netsh commands...?
Thanks
akhilHi,
Did you mean to write a program to implement that creating adhoc via UI? This should be development issue.
But this is Windows 8.1 client forum and there is no professional on develop.
To help you better, I suggest you submit a new case on MSDN forum to help to check your code as they will be more professional on your issue:
This is the MSDN forum link.

my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?
To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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 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.

Mac OSX, 10.7.5, LR 5.6 After creating a new folder in the Destination section and importing images, the new folder name appears as 2010, no matter what name I give it. Why is it doing this?
I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash. -
After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?
Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
- contact your dad
- erase and reinstall the OS X clean
Let us know. -
Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.iOS 6 Wifi Problems/Fixes

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

trying to hook up preowned airpoirt extreme. asking for password for selected wireless device. would there be a password from previous owner?
A "hard reset" will do the same thing.
Make sure that the AirPort Extreme is powered on
Hold in the reset button for a few seconds and the amber light will begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding the reset button when you see this for another 4-5 seconds and release
Allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup -

OK. Open your PDF with Preview and at the top of the window (near the file's title) you will see Locked in grey.
Click on it and in the menu that appears click Unlock.
It looks like this in OS 10.7.3 :
