Directory Utility: "Name and Password you entered... do not match." ????

Happy New Year all!
OS X 10.5 Server I think is slowly trying to kill me. I've had to re-install the system 3 times in as many months because of corruption with user accounts.
What I am struggling with currently is Directory Utility. All clients have accounts set up on the server. If they are local (plugged into the LAN), Directory Utility works like a champ and configures the desired services as advertised. However, when they are remote from the site, Directory Utility is able to locate and communicate with the server and offers to set up all services (just as when connected to the LAN), but when asked to authenticate an error message states:
"The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match."
It makes no difference which username (standard user or admin) I try. At the same time those laptops that were configured locally but used remotely continue to work perfectly communicating with the server.
Reading through the forums, I saw some (related?) suggestions recommending making changes to the options under the "Services" tab within Directory Utility (like unchecking LDAPv3). But I haven't found a combination of changing those options that gives me success. Someone else having a similar problem speculated it might have something to do with being behind an airport or router messing up the authentication. ???
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about this?
Thanks!

Ok Hannah. I have just had a bit of a read of some articles on the net and it seems that getting Hotmail to work with Mail.app is not easy.
You may find some of the discussion in this thread helpful. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193359
It starts off talking about mail on iPhone but towards the end there are some ideas about getting it going on Lion.
It seems that an alternative is to try a plug-in for Mail.app that handles the communications with Hotmail. You may want to look at http://www.hawkwings.net/2011/07/26/hotmail-yahoo-and-lions-mail/ for some links. Note that I don't have Hotmail so I can not vouch for any of this.

Hi Mustafa
sometimes after a update the language of the keyboard changes. with this some letters may be changed (for example y and z)
I think in "settings - general" you can change the keyboard.

I'm on a web site that requires a user name and password to enter the site., but Firefox has never asked me if I want to save this info. Is it possible to do this even though Firefox never asked me?

This is the only site that Firefox has not asked me to save user name and password.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

I reinstalled my mac os x, and anytime i try to update my software its asking me for an administrators name and password, i enter it and it comes back wrong, and that is the only one i have, i have been to keychain but it does not make any sense to me,

i have just reinstalled my mac os x, in fact yesterday, i have not been able to update my software or change anything at all, i try to do a software update and it is asking me for an administrators username and password that was not happening before, i enter the username and password i created and it comes back wrong, its driving me nuts, been to keychain but unable to figure it out, its asking for a system unlock and i have no clue what that is.
am desperate.

Stick the 10.6 disk into the computer and reboot holding the c or option key down, select the disk to boot from.
In the installer menu is a Utiltiies menu and a password reset.
If you don't remmember the name, reboot the computer holding the command and s keys down
a black screen with white type appears, when it's finished, dbackspace any extra ssss you have made and then type
ls /Users
(that's Larry, Sam, space, slash, Users)
and press return, a list of user names on the machine appears
type exit and reboot and use the 10.6 disk to reset your password

I have just changed my user name and password but it has not changed for iTunes/ apple - any suggestions

My iTunes user name is incorrect. I have recently changed it successfully but it hasn't changed for iTunes/apple. Any suggestions?

If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

Directory Utility keeps telling me the name and password do not match

Installed Leopard Server on my Mini a few days ago, and I enabled Open Directory server.
Added the server in my home network with directory utility on my laptop, and it works perfect both when I'm on the local network, and when I'm elsewhere.
Tried doing the same at my Leopard iMac at work today. Finds the server just fine, but when trying to configure my machine locally I get an error message during Authentication that simply says "The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match".
Now. I KNOW the username and password is correct. And I have the same username and password on this machine (both the long name, and the short one).
So what am I doing wrong here?

Christian,
I've experienced similar issue recently. The most likely solution will be to delete the user and recreate it using same uid and username. I'm going to look for other solutions prior to that.

I keep getting a pop up that request the Administrators name and password. I never set this up so I can't bypass this. How do I change or set up the administrators name and password.

I have OS X version 10.9.5. I have had this for a year or two. How do I find my Administrators name and password? I do not recall ever setting this up.

If you don't recall setting it up, try entering nothing into the passwordfield and just press return.
If that worked, please go to " > System Preferences > Users & groups" and click the [change password]-button.
If all that doesn't solve it, boot from the Recovery Partition and reset your password from there.
Here’s how:
1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you either see an Apple Logo with a loading bar or a spinning gear.
After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
3/ Find the menu called “utilities” in the top left corner of your computer’s display. It’s in between the menus “edit” and “window” Don’t be confused with the menu called “os x utilities”
Choose Terminal. A somewhat old-fashioned looking window will pop up, waiting for a text command from you. This is the Terminal.
After the # type: resetpassword and press return. Note that there is no space between ‘reset’ and ‘password’
What you’ll see next is an rectangular window that gives you the option to reset passwords. Set a new password for all the users that you need.
We’re ready to reboot your Mac now. Click on the Apple Menu and choose “startup disk” Choose to boot from “Macintosh HD” Please let us know if this solved your issue, or if the steps above did not work, or could not be performed for some reason.

Safari user name and password for secure sites

I just sent the following to "Mac OS X Feedback"
Some secure sites like brokers, e.g., Ameritrade, do no allow autofill in Safari for the user name and password. In fact Safari does not even ask if you want to remember the user name and password just entered for such sites.
I would like to suggest that something be done for users in such cases:
1) A dialog box comes up warning that this website does not allow autofill.
2) A suggestion is made as to what network setting needs to be changed to allow autofill to work
3) A fix in Safari to take care of this problem
4) Add something to Safari help
Does anyone have a work around for this problem?
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Think about what would happen if someone gained access to your Mac, say while you were briefly away from your desk or whatever. They launch Safari, go to the login web page of (for instance) your bank & discover that autofill has helpfully filled in your user name & password so all they have to do to get access to your accounts is click the login button.
From there, they can transfer all your assets to some other account (theirs!) or invest in FlyByNight.com or whatever -- they can do anything your password lets you do with any password-protected account ... anything!
Take this a step further. Say you have enabled auto-login to your primary account at startup, or have used an easy-to-guess account password for it. Someone steals your computer ... & with it potential access to all your online accounts with autofill entries.
Not a pretty picture, is it?

Problems with User names and Password

For some reason iWeb does not want to accept my user name and password: I enter it in the programm, update the whole website (which by the way didn´t occur incrementally), and then when I try to call up the page it won´t let me in - instead I have to give in the password and the user name over and over again with the result of the page being loaded just a "little" bit more each time but nothing happening!
Please help!

David ~ You're posting in this 'Web '08 forum so this Apple doc about iWeb 1.x may not apply: _Password-protected sites don't publish to .Mac_.
For iWeb '08, passwords are case-sensitive and must use between 6 and 20 characters. They can include any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols, but can’t include spaces.
Post back confirming that you're using iWeb '08 and MobileMe — if you don’t publish your site to MobileMe password protection is unavailable.

Help - Login Names and Passwords Disappear

I recently encountered a problem while using Safari. As I usually do, I accessed a website where I have to enter a login name and password, like this one. When I click "submit" or press "enter" both the name and password simply disappear. I retype the information, and again its gone when I press "enter." This happens on every site that requires a login name and password, including this site. I am using Firefox in order to access this site and post this thread.
Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this? Safari is my preferred browswer.

Thank you for your reply. I solved my problem. Many sites requiring a login name and password, including Apple Discussions, also require that you allow them to set cookies in your system. I had set Safari Preferences > Security to never accept cookies. Apparently, doing this prevents these websites from accepting any login name or password you enter. Resetting Preferences > Security to accept cookies again allows me to use a login name and password.

User Name and Password to file share OSX and Vista

I have just bought a Laptop running VISTA for work. I want to share files between my i-mac and the lap top. I have managed to share from MAC > Vista but can not log onto the MAC from Vista.
I map the drive using \\192.168.2.2\kemery and am then prompted for a user name and password so enter my MAC short name and password (administrator). The log on fails and returns "unsucessful" with the user name filled in as
KeithEmery-PC\kemery. I have tried changing it to WORKGROUP\kemery but nothing seems to work.
Please help - this is the last task on an otherwise simple setup!

I left off the \\ that is before the 192.168.2.2 and it worked just fine for me. But I am using Vista Ultimate and this may or may not make a difference. Ultimate is suppose to have easier Networking set - up

When I try to install flash player on my mac, I get to the panel that asks for my name and password, and it will not take my password. tried changing to a new password and same result

When I try to install flash player on my Mac, I get to the panel that asks for my name and password, but it will not take my password. Tried changing the password, but same result. Suggestions??

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
