  • How to disable Guest User Login

    All of a sudden I have a "Guest User Account" on my login screen.  I never enabled it, and it wasn't there before.  I checked my Users preferences and it clearly shows the Guest User Account is disabled (nothing checked).  Any ideas how to remove it from my login screen?  Thanks.

  • Disabling guest user in prod

    what are the impacts of disabling/deleting default guest user in BO XI R2 SP1 in a Unix solaris environment.

    You require the "Guest" account for the following:
    You have clients logging onto your Enterprise deployment using the "Guest" account.
    You have some custom Java, .NET or COM Report Application Server (RAS) SDK applications - likely migrated from RAS 9, Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded, or Crystal Reports Server XI Embedded, that uses what's called "unmanaged reporting" (i.e., RPT files not published to Enterprise, but copied to the OS file structure).
    You will have to ask your IT deployment team whether either applies to you.

  • Can't switch users from lock screen in Cinnamon 2.0.14

    Hi! I have searched the forum and couldn't find anything that answered my question.
    The expected behaviour is that there should be a 'switch user' button on the lock screen to take the user to the login manager. Unfortunately this is not the case, and the only way to use the computer is to either log in to the last used account, or do a hard reset. Is there a configuration option somewhere that will enable such a button?
    Thanks
    P.S. Another slightly related question. Every time the computer wakes from sleep there is a brief pause while a line ending in 'suspend' is printed on a black screen. This is repeated on each wake so that there are multiple lines on the screen. Is there any way to stop this behaviour?

    Unfortunately the suggestion on that page simply returns:

    However, I have replaced GDM with LightDM and that is working perfectly. Thanks for telling me where to look!

  • How do i disable ALL notifications from lock screen?

    I do not want ANY notifications on my lock screen. This is a security issue. How do i disable them, other than individually editing preferences for each individual app, and remembering to do this every time i install a new app?

  • Guest User from Login Screen

    Hello,
    Under Snow Leopard, I was able to have a guest account show on the login screen and anyone could log into this account which would delete all data upon logout.
    In have enabled the guest user in Lion and it does show up at the login screen. When the guest user is selected at the login screen it gives a notice that the computer must be restarted into safari only mode rather than loging into the guest account as before. If a regular user is already logged into the system and the guest account is selected from the fast user switching menu it logs in to the account just as it did on snow leopard.
    I would like to know if there is a way to revert the login screen functionality of the guest user so that users can actually login rather than having to restart into safaro-only mode.
    Thanks

    I erased my HD and installed Lion again. First thing I did was run all software updates. Once I got around to enabling the guest account it now functions as it should and how it did under snow lerpard.
    My previous install of Lion was also a clean install on a blank drive so I don't know why it was a problem but it's working now.

  • IPhone: Accessing the user's lock screen background image

    Hi there,
    does anybody know if it is possible to access the image that a user has set as the background image that is displayed when he/she locks the screen?
    Would be very interesting to know.
    I appreciate any insights.
    Yours,
    Felix

    Hi,
    First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
    After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
    Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

  • My MacBook Pro was hacked. A chess board appeared and when I clicked it code scrolled all over the screen and then my desktop disappeared. It all came back but now it shows a guest user and my screen looks completely different.

    Files on my computer were added. In the files were pics of my hard drive and flags. Text editor had a lot of code. Is there anyway to convert the code? Trying to see if my crazy ex did this. And did someone have to have access to my computer to do this?

    Disconnect from the network.
    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Preferably both.
    Reconnect to the network.
    Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume with the default options.This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For details of how this works, see here:
    Using Setup Assistant
    Transfer only "Users" and "Settings" – not "Applications" or "Other files." Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
    Reinstall your third-party software from fresh downloads or original media.
    Change all Internet passwords.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  • I want to get rid of my guest user account. It will not let me delete it from the user

    I did not have the guest user account available and then after I changed some of my setting for my mail, I noticed that when I logged back in the guest user icon was present.  I do not want to have this guest user account on my log in screen.  I tried to delete it from my system preferences but all it does is disable the guest user but the icon still appears. I need some help!

    How to disable that “Guest User” from appearing at the OS X 10.7.2 login screen
    Open System Preferences
    Click on “Security & Privacy”
    Click the lock in the lower corner and type in your administrative password to unlock the control panel
    Check the box next to “Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked”
    This prevents the Guest User account from being visible at the login screen both during reboot and at the login screen. Again, it’s highly recommended to keep this enabled for security purposes, but if your Mac is locked down with a security cable or you don’t have any use for Find My Mac, you could disable this and not feel too bad about it.

  • IOS 7 Lock Screen Bypass Workaround

    It was brought to my attention by one of my co-workers that the launch day (9/18/2013) version iOS 7 contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthorized user to bypass the device's lock screen to send out pictures.  Even if lock screen access for Control Center was disabled, it was reported that Siri could be used to access the Timer app and complete the bypass.  In order to prevent this bypass from being performed on company-owned Apple mobile devices, we created a quick workaround procedure:
    For Control Center:  Perform the following steps to disable Control Center from the Lock Screen:
    Press the "Settings" icon.
    Select"Control Center".
    Swipe the toggle for "Access on Lock Screen" so that it no longer green.
    For Siri:  Perform the following steps to disable Siri from the Lock Screen:
    Press the "Settings" icon.
    Select"General" then "Passcode Lock".
    Enter your passcode
    In the "Allow Access When Locked" section, swipe the toggle for "Siri" so that it no longer green .
    Your device is now secured from unauthorized users leveraging the launch day iOS 7 bypass vulnerability.  Once Apple fixes the vulnerability, you can again turn on Siri and Control Center at the lock screen.

    Guys chill, the solution is simple-try it and let me know:
    Go to: Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut > (then tick Invert Colors)
    This will access the "Invert Colors" shortcut when you press the home button 3 times - and it will prevent the multitasking while locked option from coming, hence your phone won't be hacked and your photos are safe
    Let me know if it works for you!
    Cheers

  • Help enabling guest users

    The other day I went to system preferences and disabled guest users on my Macbook Air. Now I want to enable them again, but in Users & Groups preferences I can't click on the "Guest User" icon in the sidebar under other users, even when the lock icon is unlocked. I remember this was where I clicked "disable guest users." Is there any other way to enable them again? And why can't I click on it anymore?

    You can't enable the guest account when FMM is on. It has its own "Guest User" pseudo-account, which actually reboots from the Recovery system and allows only Safari to run.
