It all happened when i shut down my mac !!
tried my apple ID , didnt work, tried several mutation of my name ..still no luck
how can I log in please?

Power on or restart your Mac.
At the chime (or grey screen), hold down ⌘ and S on your keyboard (two fingers) to enter single-user mode.
Type mount -uw / and press Enter.
Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist and press Enter.
Type ls /Users and press Enter. This lists all of the usernames on the computer. Look for yours and write it down.
Type reboot and press Enter.
Log in with that user name and the password you recall.

The serial and other ID numbers are of no use in a situation where you forgot the passcode.

How come firefox does not remember my user name and password for the verizon wireless website ? or verizon wireless ?

how come when i log onto the verizon wireless web site to pay my bill, i have to sign my user name and password every time ? i am not getting the firefox pop up asking me if i want firefox to save my password for this site. so how do i get firefox to remember my log in information for my verizon wireless website ? thank you.

This would be verizonwireless.com, correct? Their site requests that browsers should not save information for its login form.
If you're comfortable with using bookmarklets, there's one here that should force Firefox to remember:

Firefox is not remembering my user name for loging into gmail.

Part of the problem is I already have one gmail account/ user name and have recently added another user name. However I have other websites where firefox remembers more than one user name. I am running on windows XP.

FFox 3;6;13 sux.
It dropped the memory of my favourite forums Username and PWord today.
Redid it all,and now it only remembers my PWord,and not Username.IE is OK.I hate IE so fix this please.It is a PIA,and DLing the old version after all the Flashplayer crap will OD my DL allowance.
In the saved PWords area of FFox,this forum is the only entry without a Username listed.
And why does Mozilla have to go for faster browsers,bells and whistles etc,when the security is still so lame?
I have had several attacks from an AV8 like scam.I use Avast and Mwarebytes.
Unstable FFox,yet again.Time to send it to the recycle bin with its fat cousin AVG Free.
Sad,but Chrome is looking real good now.
Am also getting stupid window asking if I want to Save or Open a PHP file when I click on Open In New Tab on the same forum.
The forum owner says all is OK at the Forum.

Firefox will not remember multiple user names and passwords for same site, yet it used to do so. Any ideas?

I belong to several publishers website, and I often have to access more than one author's account, which requires that I use their user name (usually an email address) and their password. In the past, whenever I double clicked on the space for user name, I would see all of those user names appear that I use for that site. When I clicked on the one I wanted, the stored password would appear in the password window, and I could log in. Now, it only shows me the most recent user name that I have used. I don't understand how to make it do what it used to do. Any ideas?

Is it possible that that name is stored in a "remember me" cookie ?
*"Remove the Cookies" from that site: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Firefox 3.6.8 is not remembering my user name and password

This has been happening since I bought my new iMac with snow leopard and downloaded Firefox. This does not happen with Safari. I have checked the forums and mozzilazine and google to no avail.

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You must allow that cookie (Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Try to clear the cookies from sites that cause problems. 
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
You can rename (or delete) cookies.sqlitecookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
See [[Cannot log in to websites]] (Remove corrupt cookies file)

I can't remember my user name and password but no reminder being sent when I request user name reminder email

I try and log in but do not remember my user name or password.
I request a user name email but nothing is coming through. I have left it for an hour but no email received. I have also check the spam box.

Sorry it took a while but I have had a response to my yahoo email account and have now successfully logged in.
Thank you for your reply, but it is resolved.

I am trying to get a password, but I can't remember my user name. Firefox answers back that there is a registered user with my email. Probably me, but I can't long on as I don't have the user name.

When the new password is used, it asks also for a user name if an email account is recorded.
Finally, after trying lots of user names, this one seemed to work. The website logon should not require a user name if I can get a password change by just using my email account.

Hi brendalynn6,
Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

Hello nkrlw,
It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
On iPhone and iPod touch, tap in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

Error in iCal: The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "Gmail."

To keep my iCal up to date on two computers, I export an Archive in one and import it to the other. Yes, I know I should use the Cloud, but humour me.
Export of iCal from my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5) no longer works when imported to my desktop (OS 10.6.8). It returns an error saying "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “Gmail.” Make sure you enter them correctly."
After dismissing this dialogue box twice (it offers no other options, iCal crashes.
I've turned off the option on my MacBook that asks to use my Gmail account, but since I can no longer launch iCal on my desktop, it can't import new data. How can I clean out the brain of iCal on the desktop so that it will open -- blank -- and perhaps accept a new version of my iCal data?
Thanks,
Bruce

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

EBS 7.3 "Could not authenticate this user name and password, try again"

I have just install Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software 7.3 on a new Solaris 10 (06/06) system. I have installed the following packages with no errors: SUNWebsc (Client), SUNWebsn (Storage Node), SUNWebss (Server), SUNWebsm (Man pages) and SUNWebsg (Console).
I have executed the �nsraddadmin� command for both root and administrator.
I start the web browser with http://<hostname>:9000 and the java software loads with no errors. But when I try to login for the first time with administrator/administrator, I get the follow error:
ERROR: Could not authenticate this user name and password, try again�

I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
I dont know why.

Hi,
I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
the result of my service.
If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
the server log trace from weblogic.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ganesh
