Each Airport device asking for non-existant password

My network consists of 2 AEBS and 2 AEs. There is no network password at the moment.
I just opened up Airport Utility to check a setting and when I double clicked on my main AEBS it asked for a password. I checked every device. They are all asking for a password which doesn't exist, before allowing me to even see the configurations. This happened before with an AE that I was trying to reset, the only way around it was to hook the AE to my mac with ethernet. I really don't want to have to do that every time I want to make a change to my network. Anyone know what's going on here? The same thing happens if I click on Manual Setup or Continue.

I live on a dirt road with very few neighbors. I would notice if someone parked on the road
in front of my house. Plus, why would anyone want to change the settings on my airport?
Also, the passwords it was asking for were not the passwords I had assigned to those airport devices and saved in my keychain. They were some kind of default factory setting passwords.
Anyway, none of my airport devices is asking me for a password now in order to see their configuration. And I have changed security over to WPA2.

CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
Thanks for any and all help,
Mike Boom

How can I be sure the popups asking for my master password come from the Software Security Device ?

I did setup a master password on my Firefox. I therefore have the Software Security Device asking for my master password now and then as a popup, but I have no way to be sure that the popup is coming from the Software Security Device.
How can I be sure that it's not coming from a website or an extension trying to steal my passwords ?

That message will not be from Mozilla, there are rogue sites that use this method to try to get people to install malware/viruses/trojans. Do not install anything from that site.

Tried to restore from backup but it's asking for my iCloud password for an email address that doesn't exist anymore. What do I do?

I had my phone replaced today and have tried to restore from the backup I made this morning. It didn't restore properly so I wanted to try again but I can't as it asks for my iCloud password for a non-existant email account. I changed my iCloud email about 6 months ago but my phone still thinks that is the correct email and I can't change it, can't reset my phone, can't do anything. What do I do?

The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
If you don't remember the password, start here:
https://iforgot.apple.com

I am having problems logging into mail and getting mail from MobilMe. Each day I start Mail I am asked for my MobileMe password. If I type it in and do not check the remember me box, it is fine. If I check the box, I can't log in.

I am having trouble using Mail. Each time I start the program I am asked for my MobileMe password to retrieve mail. If I give the password, without the remember me box checked, it works fine. If I check the "remember me" box, the same same message appears asking me to input the password for MobileMe. This is only happening for my MobileMe account.

It sounds to me like your keyboard has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced. Can you try an external keyboard?

Owned an iMac for 5 years - have no idea what my password is for my AirPort Express which I set up about 3 years ago My wife has just purchased an iPad 2 and it is asking for my forgotten password - how do I retrieve it ?

How do I recover my password set up when I added AirPort Express to my iMmac a few years ago.. My wife has just purchased an iPad and it is asking for that "forgotten" password to make the Wi Fi connection ?

From the airport express user manual:
If You Forgot Your Network or AirPort Express Password
You can clear the AirPort network or AirPort Express password by resetting AirPort
Express.
To reset your password:
1 Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for one
second.
2 Select your AirPort network.
On a Macintosh computer:
=> Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to select the network created by AirPort
Express (the network name does not change).
3 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a
Macintosh
4 Select your AirPort Express and click Configure.
5 In the dialog that appears, make the following changes:
Â Reset the AirPort Express password.
Â Turn on encryption to activate password protection for your AirPort network. If you
turn on encryption, enter a new password for your AirPort network.
6 Click OK.
AirPort Express restarts to load the new settings

My iMac running 10.7.5 has suddenly developed the habit of asking for my keychain password every 10 minutes or so. iTunes, mail and airport are the usual requesters. I have not recently changed my password.

My iMac running 10.7.5 has suddenly developed the habit of asking for my keychain password every 10 minutes or so. iTunes, mail and airport are the usual requesters. It's making me nuts! And no, I have not recently changed my password to start this new issue.

Hello dowaco
Try running Keychain First Aid on your keychain or just rese your Keychain to create another keychain to see if that resolves the issue of the repeated prompts for the password.

If i changed my apple ID password will this ask for my new password on other devices connected to my Apple ID?

I gave my gamecenter account to my friend but now i dont want him to use it anymore.
But he refused to sign-out so i changed my apple ID password,
Does this stop him from using my account?
Does it sign him out and asks for my new password???

If You used the same Apple ID and password for Game Center that you used for all other Apple Services, yes he will need the password to continue to use the account. I can't swear to it, but I think that he will be prompted for the new password now since it was changed.

Z10 and Q10 frequently asking for Office 365 password

I have an AT&T Z10, and a client has a Verizon Z10 and 2 Verizon Q10s. Both of us use Office 365 as our email service. With the lack of BB10 support in BBCS (Blackberry Cloud Service for Office 365) I was forced to set up all these devices on ActiveSync. For the most part this is working OK. However each user has either been prompted for the Office 365 password multiple times in a day, or they don't notice the prompt and the ActiveSync account is marked as invalid on the Accounts list in setup.
I have looked everywhere within the Office 365 administration console and can find nothing related to asking for the password frequently. I did find settings to control if the device has a password, but nothing related to the device prompting for the Exchange password.
I am only annoyed by it, but my client is getting quite frustrated and is questioning whether they will bother upgrading their other 20 Blackberry devices to BB10s, or look at other devices. Either some direction to solve this ActiveSync problem, or a likely date for BBCS to be BES10 would be helpful.

My user with a Q10 has had this same issue with our Office 365 account. Seems to work fine for a few days then randomly stops getting new email. Go in and reenter his Office 365 password and all is well again... for a few days when it seems to lose it again.
We have about 15 iPhone's of various flavor and 3 Android HTC One's with no issues on O365.

Why is my iPhone asking for my iTunes password randomly and repeatedly?

I have seen this question in several discussions, but all are archived. None had an answer. I have 3 iPhone 4S's and 3 iPod Touch 4g's. All, radomly but frequently enough to be annoying, display a pop up screen when first using the iPhone/Pod Touch (normally from sleep mode) asking for your iTunes password. It gives you the option to select "cancel" or "enter"and sometimes I just hit cancel b/c I am so fed up with this. I notice no problems if I do not enter my password and hit "cancel." But, who knows if something is compromised by not giving the device what it "wants." So, most of the time I enter my password hoping that will satisfy the "beast" and it will not ask for it anymore. No luck.
I hope someone knows the answer to this before the "Gods of Archive" close this question/discussion. I have to believe something is going on that is not right.
One iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4g is running off a MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.3
Two iPhone 4s's and two iPod Touch 4g's are running off MacBook Pros running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
All devices are sharing the SAME iTunes password for apps, music, etc.
Best, Mr. Luigi

For those who might be experiencing this same problem, I'll pass on the things I try and whether it meets with any success or not.
Here is my latest idea:
As I mentioned earlier, our family of 3 shares 1 itunes account for apps, music...This way, one song, one app, whatever purchased by one of us can be used on the other's iDevices. Up until recently we had 8 devices sharing this one account:
3 MacBook Pros
3 iPhone 4S's
1 iPad Original + 3g
1 iPad 2 +3g
Then we were given 3 iPod Touch 4th generation devices. I set them up and things seemed ok. Seemed...
Then I noticed in the iCloud "Account Info" for this 1 account the 1 iPad Original + 3g was not listed as included with this Apple account. Hm...
In iTunes, I had 'Automatically Sync New Apps" turned ON for the iPad Original + 3g. However, I noticed in the actual iPad Original + 3g that when I went to Settings --> Store, Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, and Books was set to OFF. So, I naturally turned those to ON to coordinate with the "Automatically Sync New Apps" setting for this device in iTunes. Next time I turned on that iPad a warning pop-up appeared that said only TEN devices could be associated with 1 iTunes account for automatic downloads. Hm...
I thought that perhaps having all our iDevices (8 of them) set to "Automatically Sync New Apps" was confusing iTunes because that meant I was asking it to Sync New App to 11 total devices (including my 3 computers).
So, I am going to watch and see if anything happens by taking our original iPad out of the "loop." Maybe this sorta random having to enter my password is because iTunes can't "handle" having 11 devices asking for app syncing when Apple has told it to only allow 10 devices. (BTW, I think that Apple needs to change this rule now that it has Computers, iPhones, iPod Touches, AND iPads competing for those precious 10 spots. It's easy to use them up even for a small family of 3 like ours.)
If this has confused you, welcome to the club. There is another discussion focused on families and their use of the new iCloud service. It's a gargantuan discussion, so I'm not the only one perplexed as to the best way to manage a house of Apple Products sharing an iTunes account.
All I can hope is that I am now confused at a higher level, and about more appropriate things so that eventually I may figure this out. Bye.

Why is my phone asking for a CISCO password?

Hi,
My Mom is suddenly having an issue with her phone and wi-fi connectivity, it's connecting to her 'guest' network instead of her default and in doing so asking for a CISCO password in order to access the web. (screen shot below)
I've done some basic troubleshooting but I can't seem to get it to connect properly.
I've tried just telling it to connect to the right network but it gives me a 'cannot connect' message without even asking for the password.
Does anyone have any advice on how to make it stop asking for a CISCO password? I am simply trying to connect to our basic home wi-fi network.

Hello SEC4184,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing, and found this article that may be helpful to you named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Basic troubleshooting
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you're unable to join a nearby Wi-Fi network
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router by turning it off and then on again.
Note: If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
When joining an 802.11n Wi-Fi network, ensure that your router is properly configured. See this article for more information.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
All the best,
Sterling

TS2634 I can't open email. Keeps asking for my yahoo password. Will not accept any password I put in. When I try to reset, it wants to confirm to an alternate email, which I do not have?

My email app will not longer display my messages. It asks for my yahoo password and then accepts none of the passwords I ever remember using. When trying to reset the password, it prompts me to use an alternate email address which I do not have? Any advise?

Can you sign in at yahoo.com?
If you can sign in then it's not a password problem.
Yahoo servers have been having probelms with not accepting the right credentals on mobile devices.
The only two ways I have seen this type of issue are to simply wait and keep trying or:
Sign into yahoo.com on a comptuer.
Sign into yahoo.com on the device
Delete the account that you have added and attempt to re-add the account - about a 50% chance the account won't re-add to the device.
If this doesn't work then your back to the first option to wait till it works again.

SSO Configuration not working - Still asking for Userid and password

Hi Guys,
I have configured Portal to use with backend server. Configured WAS & ITS and created System Alias.
For Testing SSO I did following steps on portal:
System Administration > Support > SAP Appliction > SAP Transaction
Selected system Alias and tcode se12. Selected SAPGUI for HTML. Pressed Go.
Instead of SE12 screen, I get Logon Screen asking for USERID and password.
I should be getting SE12 screen directly without entering USERID and PASSWORD.
I tested with Transaction iView (SE12) and getting the same logon screen. After entering userid/password it displays SAP Easy Access menu instead of displaying SE12
Please help.
Thanks a lot.
mini

Hi Sandeep.
Thanks for your reply. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Is the username same in the portal and the backend that you are trying to connect, ensure that there is the same username that exists in the system you want to connect to. YES
2. The ticket is imported properly- check the ACL and Certificate list in Tcode STRUSTSSO2.
Ticket is valid from 01 Jan 2009 to 14 Mar 2012.
3. Check for the parameters in place login_accept_ticket = 1 and login_create_ticket = 2 and icm_hostname_full is set to FQDN.
In RZ10 it has 3 parameters:
login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1
login/create_sso2_ticket = 2
icm/host_name_full = sapecc6.tri.com
4. What is the result when you test the system connection?
WAS & ITS Connections are successful.
Connection test for Connectors is giving following results:
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
My Connectors Details:
Application Host : sapecc6
Gateway Host : sapecc6.tri.com
Gateway Host : 3301
SAP Client : 800
SAP Client : EC7
SAP System Number : 01
Server Port: 3201
System Type: SAP_R3
I am using same userid for Portal and backend.
5. Are the 2 systems that you want to configure SSO in the same domain?
I am trying to connect R3 to Portal.
Please give me directions to fix the problem.

I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account. On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account. If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to. It did not send to back up email account either.
Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
Can I have 2 apple ids?
If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
(won't let me)
If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

Sharepoint2013 Stop asking for UserName and Password

Hi,
I have Installed New sharePoint2013 Server , I face Issue that Sharepoint Site keep asking for UserName and Password aeach Time.
I set as windows authentication in both IIS and Central Administration ,
and I configure The IE and I set Automatic Login with Current Username And Password and I put it in Trusted site and nothing change.
I also have sharepoint 2010 server and when I configure it like above it
stopped ask me for UserName and Password ,
Can any one help me what maybe the problem in SharePoint server2013.
thank you,,,

Hi,
Try following these steps:
Adding the site to Local Intranet Zone:
Navigate to Tools > Internet Options
Under Security tab, navigate to Local Intranet > Sites > Advanced. Enter the URL of your SharePoint site and click Add. Uncheck theRequire server
verification (https:) for all sites in this zone box and click Close
Adding the entry to the Credentials Manager:
Go to Start > Run and type in control keymgr.dll to open the Windows key manager.
Alternatevily: navigate to Contorl Panel > User Accounts > Manager Windows Credentials
Select Add a generic credential
Add your SharePoint site URL, login and password to the corresponding fields. If this entry already exists, edit it to have your login credentials.
Reboot the computer.
If you are missing the Add button, you may want to modify Windows Registry to be able to save the password.
Note: for editing Windows Registry, administrator rights are required. Editing Windows Registry is not safe and you will perform it at your own risk.
In Windows, go to Start > Run and enter regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\.
Find the DisableDomainCreds entry. A value of 1 (enabled) will prevent you from saving new credentials.
Change the value to 0 and reboot. Now you should have the Add button available. Note that 0 is the default value.
Also check the LmCompatibilityLevel entry. It should be set to 3, which is the default value. If you have another value, change it to 3. If it does not
work with 3, then also try it with 2.
Reboot the computer to apply changes.
