Does the BT Broadband account username/password ha...

I'm a little confused as to whether the BT Broadband account username and password has any significance. Let me explain. I have just upgraded the Broadband plan on one site and BT sent me a new Business Hub 5. I didn't need it as I have installed a TPLink 9980 VDSL router there, so I decided to use it at another location where I have BT Infinity but with the separate HomeHub 3 and Openreach modem.
However, when I came to install it I couldn't remember my BT account password (I knew the username from the HomeHub 3). So instead I just tried the username and password from the other site and it worked fine. What's the score there ? I assume I am not using the account from the original site as that would be a major loophole in BT's accounting. Therefore it would seem that the username and password are redundant and it purely goes on knowing which physical line it is connected to, in which case why is there any need for login credentials at all ?

  • How can i make Safari on the Touch saving my Usernames/Passwords?

    I found out, that Safari on my Touch doesn't save any Usernames/Password. So, everytime i visit a website i.e. my website-gui, the touch ask me everytime for the Username and the password. That is somehow crap! Does anyone knows how to change that?

    Second that.
    Only beta, but very cool.
    Just tried it - it was built for the iPhone, but works fine on the Touch.
    BTW, it's also one great password manager, and have great support.

    Hi,
    One thing that could help is to look at the info in the agent logs, first increase Debug Logging Level, then restart the agent server and click thru your app, then look in agent runtime logs which should have more descriptive errors. For more detail on how to do this, try http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSSO/GlassFishAgentTrouble#GlassFishAgentTrouble-generaltips
    You could look on this page, which is mostly based on GlassFish server but could help for other servers as well.
    http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSSO/GlassFishAgentTrouble
    I have not installed either of the policy agents you mentioned. But with some of the other agents, like the Sun App server 9 (GlassFish) agent, it comes with a sample application, and I find that this is the best way to ensure your setup is good and you are following all steps etc. Once sample app is up, you can try your own apps with confidence.
    Since you already have the SJSAS 9 installed, maybe you could create a new domain and download/install the SJSAS 9 policy agent on the new domain. Then try out the sample app?
    Or if those other agents have a sample app then try it out.

  • Does the macbook pro have a password protect feature?

    i'm debating whether or not I need the Kensington ComboSaver Notebook Lock for college. if the macbook pro has a password-protect feature... maybe i don't need the lock

    How would they know there was a password?  Are you hoping to be able to say, "Excuse me, sir, but please don't steal my laptop, it's password protected."  A thief wouldn't care, even if they slowed down to listen... they'd just erase your hard drive and sell the machine.  (Or maybe not even erase the hard drive.)
    Password protection is possible on many levels, some more secure than others, but none will discourage theft.  Password protection's role is to protect against things ranging from casual snooping to determined spying, and the method used determines what can be protected against.  For true data security, you must use encryption.
    However, if you're looking to keep your laptop from getting stolen, you need to simply keep it close, or locked up when not adequately close.  A security cable would be a good investment for leaving a computer unattended in a dorm room or apartment.

  • Why does the itunes store ask for passwords to different accounts?

    Sometimes when I sign on to buy something at the iTunes store it will ask me for a password to an old.mac account. Then in ther cases it will ask me for a more current account.
    And how do I combine all of the ourchaes from both these accounts into one?

    You can't currently combine accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that account will be able to authorise its content, re-download it, and/or download updates to its apps.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Hi mberehulke,
    I am filing a bug to further investigate the incident however, can you please verify the following:
    This is still happening and that this still happens in Safe Mode [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    And do you allow Firefox to make redirects, or do you have a firewall/antivirus that may be blocking the redirect? [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]]
    I have also started the conversation here to help investigate this issue.

  • What does the "deauthorize audible account" option do ?

    Sorry if this is the wrong place but I just stumbled over this option in the advanced menu.
    What's it for and what's it do ?
    Thanks.

    hi again
    his should help:
    Audible is an online store that sells Audiobooks. The audiobooks purchased from Audibooks work the same way as the songs purchased from iTunes. You can only play the audiobooks on a limited number of computers. In iTunes, you can deauthorize your account to make your computer unable to play the audiobooks purchased from Audible (i.e. when you change computers).
    If you don't have an Audible account, you can just ignore this function.

  • How long does the i tunes account lock for, how long does the i tunes account lock for

    Howlon does it take because i entered the wrong security questions

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • HT204074 Does the 90-day account device association limit app layering on devices?

    Apple once said that layer apps, via multiple iTunes accounts on device, was a way to manage devices in certain settings. Is that now not the case?

    Sorry but you have to wait the 90 days. The parents can add the credit card upon setup but it can later be removed via iTunes on your computer. There is no legal way of giving the music to him since it was purchased under your account.

  • ORA-01017 (invalid username/password) using globally authenticated account

    Kris and team,
    Having a hard time believing no one else has encountered this already. But searching on 1017 and "globally" and "identified" in the forum yields nothing useful.
    New corporate policy has all our DBAs, developers and QA logging into globally authenticated (against OID) accounts. Oracle docs call these accounts "global users". They are able to do so just fine using SQL*Plus, TOAD and PL/SQL Developer. But when we attempt the same in SQL Developer, different rules seem to be applied, and the user is told their username/password is invalid, which is not correct.
    We have several hundred developers ready to use their new accounts in SQL Developer, but cannot. Would appreciate quick reply or patch on this.
    btw, when I say "global user", I'm referring to accounts that are created in Oracle using the "identified globally as" syntax.
    Am I missing something?
    Edited by: chromedome on Aug 9, 2010 1:49 PM

    Thank you, this was helpful in that it caused me to try the other connection methods: Basic, TNS (as you mentioned on your blog), LDAP and Advanced, both with regular accounts and with global users, both with thin and thick drivers employed.
    In all cases, using a normal Oracle account, I was able to connect.
    But using a global user, with the thick/OCI client forced, I get the "Status: Failure -Test failed: oracle.jdbc.driver.T2Connection.t2cCreateState([BI[BI[BI[BI[BISI[S[B[BZ)I" message. And with the thin driver used, I get the "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" message. The possibility I have the password incorrect is non-existent as I'm both typing it in manually, and copying and pasting it, from successful global user connections in PL/SQL Developer and TOAD into SQL Developer.
    SQL Developer 2.1.1.64 is not working using InstantClient 11.2 when attempting to login with a global user.

  • I run Dev 6i on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit,the forms are working fine after connection to the database but the reports continue to request for username, password and database connection string every time i try to open a report.

    I receive REP-0501: Unable to connect to specified database. I run developer 6i application on windows 2008 r2. I have applied the nn60.dll and nnb60.dll files to the \BIN directory. The forms are working fine. The reports will only display after the correct user id (username, password and database connection string) is supplied. This is happening to all attempts to open already complied form. Pls, help.

    If you are connecting to an Oracle 11g database, remember that by default the passwords are case sensitive. To disable that, run

  • What is the password for the new user account that is set up via Migration Assistant?

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro, and used Migration Assistant to download My Documents from a previous PC desktop. The migration was successful, but afterwards the new user account that was set up to house all the new documents became inaccessible to me.
    My administrator's password works for my computer and I am able to log in and out, change settings, etc.
    However, if I try to log in to the new user account, no password works. Through the administrator's account I have also attempted to change the password, and I am allowed to do so, but when I use the new password I set up, it still denies me access.
    Additionally, if I log out the administrator's account and click the new account to log in, it prompts me to make a new password for the account, and whatever I enter is also rejected as "incorrect." (The screen shakes)
    I am very frustrated my inability to access this information I must use to work, and I have no idea what the password might be, or how to change it properly.
    PLEASE HELP COMMUNITY! I have only had my mac for about a week and I have had it up to hear with this "user friendly" system.

    You can change the password from Visual administrator. login to visual administrator, and select services,, under that you will find the system details. change the password.
    even if the visual administrator password is expired then u can go thorugh configtoo.bat and there u can change the password.
    if that even not possible then u need to login to sql and can execute the commands for changing password.
