Disk password and user accounts

I have a Macbook Pro (with Mavericks), and my disk is encrypted.
When I power on my computer, I get these options:
1. Log in with my profile/user account OR
2. Enter the Disk Password
followed by: log in with my profile/user account
What I am confused about is this: How can I log into my account both with and without entering the Disk Password, and there doesn't seem to be any difference between the two? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if my whole drive is encrypted (I only have one partition), shouldn't I be required to enter the Disk Password before I can log in with a user account?
I created another account (non-admin) and made sure it doesn't have automatic access to the disk (in the FireVault settings). This account can also log in just fine before I enter the Disk Password, or after I enter it.
Another weird thing that might be connected to this is that when I run the Disk Utility when my computer boots up (Cmd+R), it says my partition is encrypted + journaled, but when I run Disk Utility from within Mavericks, it says it's only journaled, NOT encrypted as well. The partition is named after my dog (I know...), so there's no confusion of the "disk1" "disk2" sort...
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey Melophage,
thanks for your reply!
I encrypted the disk under Mountain Lion, then decrypted, erased, and encrypted again under Mavericks.
The reason for this is that I had some issues with super slow startup as well as the log in screen after sleep (the cursor in the password field would be blinking for 25-30 secs without responding to the keyboard, then the screen would go black, then come on again, and I would be able to log in…). I couldn’t identify any apps or processes that were responsible for these issues.
When I upgraded to Mavericks, the issue went away for a week or so, then came back. So, I decrypted, erased the drive, encrypted, and now have the “double” login options.

I want to be assured that my back up is working completely. What if my MacBookPro auto-logs off my account during the backup due to no activity? Or, is the backup considered activity and it won't log off?
What about the Energy saving options - will they affect the backup ?

Assuming you mean via Time Machine, yup. It backs up your entire system, including all user accounts (unless you specifically exclude things).

I've never tried it, but the backups run as the "root" user, so will probably continue. If they don't, it's not a problem, as the next backup will "catch up" with all changes.

Not really. If you have the Mac set to shut down at a particular time, that will of course interrupt a backup if one is running. But again, the next backup will catch up.

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

How can I hide the password and user name in url???

Hi experts,
I'm creating a login page and know I have a problem.
The Username and password are verified in a Java class, after checking the user and password, the user should be linked to the portal.
So far everything has worked well.
But when I call the lin like this
res.sendRedirect ("/ irj / portal j_user =" + UserN + "& j_password =" + passw);
then the user name and Pwasswort appears in the url.
Can someone tell me how can I hide the password and user name???
It will be very helpful.
Thank you

If there is no specific reason that you have to use sendredirect...thne you can try request.forward.....
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("pathToResource");
rd.forward(request, response);

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?

Checking Computer AND User Account against AD without TLS

Hi Folks,
i am working on a customer site with 5500/ACS5.2/AD/WZC. The Customer looks for a good Authentication Scenario but decides against TLS. So we tested PEAP with checking the AD for a valid Computer Account and User Auth. But, if i use a Laptop with no Domain Computer Account but a valid User Account, i can gain Access. Is it possible that the ACS can check for a valid Computer AND User Account and successes the Client only if both Accounts are available and valid?
Regards, Michael

Hi Nicolas, thx for this Hint. I did today the Host Lookup and "was machin auth" thing, but anyway, my own Laptop
that is not in the Domain can connect with a Domain User ID to the Network. Any Hint or Trick? I saw on other Discussions you referred to that some Users did an AD Rejoin, what do you think?
Regards, Michael

Check for Updates and User Account Control

With Adobe Reader the 'Check for Updates' function under Help does not appear to function when 'User Account Control (UAC)' in Windows Vista is turned on.
When UAC is turned off, the 'Check for Updates' works, and if there an update is available for Adobe Reader, it will download and install.
Other programs that update software funtion with UAC turned on, albeit with the additional dialog boxes that UAC brings, namely the CTL/ALT/DEL and user account logon (when applicable.)
Without updating the Adobe Reader software, users are leaving themeselves open to vulnerabilities. Without UAC turned on, users are also leaving themselves open to certain risks. So there appears to be a dilemma presented.
Does anyone know if/when Adobe will be changing the 'Check for Updates' functionality so it will behave more in-line with the UAC functionality?
Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

With UAC enabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is no selection for updating. There is nothing for me to click. Additionally, in Edit, Preferences, Updater, "Do not download or install updates automatically" is selected, and everything on the right pane is greyed-out.
With UAC disabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is a selection for 'Check for Updates.' In Edit, Preferences, Updater, I can select the various methods of downloading/updating Adobe Reader. The option to download the update but not install was selected, as I wanted it to be.
Finally, I noticed that the notice from Adobe, 'Update is ready to install,' appears in the Windows tray. And it is this point that somewhat changes the serverity of the problem, that is, while 'Check for Updates' is not available when UAC is enabled, it appears that Adobe can still be updated through the automatic download feature. The only problem with this is that I cannot tell if the update was downloaded while UAC was enabled (probably not since the download setting says not to) or while UAC was disabled.
In any case, it still does not appear that our clients can get their Adobe Reader software updated while UAC is enabled. And this represents a security dilemma for us.

Lost password to user account and cannot get into Netbook

We purchased a Toshiba Netbook nb200 for our teenager for Christmas.
She was so excited to get it and was on the computer right away and set up her own user account without writing it down or allowing me time to create a disk for her.
Now the user account will not let us in. She says she knew what the password was and when we try it, it does not work. We have spent two days typing everything under the sun to see if we can get it and no luck.
2 days after Christmas and she cannot get into the computer at all.
I have tried the safe mode etc and does not work.
Any suggestions on what to do please?
Thank you.

4. A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is executed all data will be deleted and rewritten.
Click Yes to continue. Follow the instructions to do a complete restore....
