This CUCM server is one of the subscribers. There is no issue with the publisher and the rest of the subscribers.
The version of CUCM is 8.0.3.21900-8.
Your comments here will be really appreciated.

[+5] to Marcelo for sharing the link.I just found the bug but is for UCXN.
Suggest involve TAC for resolution.
"set password user admin" on sub server may fail with "changed too soon"
CSCtf25430
Description
Symptom:
We have seen that attempting to change the platform administrator account password on a subscriber Unity Connection server version 7.1.2.10000-139 (platform version 7.1.2.10000-16) will fail with the following error message:
"password changed too soon"
This being erroneous because nobody had never changed the password since the system was installed.
Conditions:
First seen in Unity Connection server version 7.1.2.10000-139 (platform version 7.1.2.10000-16)
Workaround:
If this problem is encountered in version 8.x you can work around it by running the following command to disable the minimum password age check.
"set password expiry minimum-age disable"
If this problem is seen on earlier versions, call TAC for support.

  • How do i reset my laptops permission without resetting my admin password?

         Listen, I have a school laptop and ofcoarse they have put their own tweaked operating system on their that blocks me from accessing different parts of my laptop and opening any third party apps. As any mac person like myself I have worked my way around the permissions by using a 'ksadmin' file in a particular MacOS folder. You would think now that I have worked this out why would I need to reset my permissions. Well it's because I cannot drag anything into the applications folder and there are some games and files that the 'ksadmin' will not run. The purpose of the 'ksadmin' file is to trick the containing folder that I am actually an administartior of this laptop. So could someone please tell me how to reset my permissions without resetting the admin password. If i reset the admin pasword (I have before) they will find out!
    Thanks
    Daniel

    Then, I'd give it back to them and insist on one with the factory-provided OS. Barring that, put a bootable backup/clone onto an ext HD, boot into recovery mode, wipe the drive, and restore the OS. That will be Apple's nonbutchered OS. Then, on first boot use the Setup Assistant to migrate from the backup/clone.

  • How to reset lion admin password, how to reset lion admin password?

    I forgot my admin password. Can anyone help me how can I reset the admin password?

    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    How to back up and restore your files
    2. If you have a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive.
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • My Macbook is running on OS 10.5.8. However, I forgot my admin password. I would like to find out if I can use OS 10.6 CD to reset the admin password while upgrading OS? Also, will all my files be still present after upgrade??

    1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
    2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
    3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you?

  • If I reset my admin password, will Time Machine backups be impacted?

    I have a Mac Mini, OS X10.6.8. I forgot my admin password, but I see I can reboot with specific commands to reset my admin password. Before I do this, I would like to know if files on my computer AND/OR backup files on my Time Machine will be impacted. Will all remain the same, no disrupt if I reset by rebooting and giving commands? Thanks!

    Time Machine won't be affected. Neither will your files, except the keychains, which will be reset to empty. You can't recover those without the password.

  • How to reset the admin password for Mac OSX 10.5.8

    I have a 2008 Macbook Leopard version of the Mac OSX 10.5.8.  My DVD optical drive does not open, and I need to reset the admin password because we have forgotten what it is.  Wondering if it is possible doing it at home some step by step process I am fine with deleting all the contents saved on the macbook as well.

    Not without the optical drive. You would need to insert the install disc to reset the admin password.
