Email sub-account locked out due to too many log in attempts.

Hi All, If someone has had this issue can you share how to get around this? When I try to log into my sub-account it sends me an access code. But the code brings me to my primary email account, not the sub-account. Thanks in advance for any help on this! VAFrank

Been on hold for over two hours on three different calls -- I guess Verizon tech support is off the holiday? Must be nice! Meanwhile, can't get to email on sub account! This is a sad joke!! You mean that I will be locked out of this email until they decide to take calls again? There is NO reason why I should not be able to correct this from the web without having to speak to anybody! Totally unaccepable. I had better control over sub-accounts with Comcast. Oh, well. I thought Verizon had their act together better than Comcast with customer service and web tools but evidentally I was wrong. With Comcast it was simple -- I paid their bills but never lost service and could fix anything myself. With Verizon, I pay pretty much the same amount for same service but at least I could fix issues suich as this -- I rarely had to call Comcast for tech support -- I've had to call Verizon THREE TIMES to fix this same issue in six months from hiccups with password programs -- I shouldn't see "NULL" for the secret question -- nor should I see the main account when I get locked out of the sub-account and go through the process to get the text code on the phone and whatnot, then get sent to the password settings for the main account -- that is sloppy! Worse, while I see "NULL" for my secret question -- the voice agents can see the question because they ask me for the secret answer! Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy! Worse, Verizon has no explanation for this unacceptable nonsense and has to know about it because I've brought it up with agents. That tells me Verizon simply doesn't care or is satisfied with how things are. I can get just as lousy customer service from Comcast but, as I said, at least I could fix issues such as this with clear instructions on the Comcast customer page -- no "hidden" or "special" links like what was mentioned earlier in this thread, which don't work anyway now if they did at one time! I was with Comcast for 10 years, never, ever had a situation where I couldn't unlock an account. So, counting the days until my contract is over! A year and a half, sadly.

Iphone is locked but I can't restore because "find my iphone" is on. I'm prompted to turn it off in settings but, obviously, I can't because I'm locked out due to too many incorrect passcode attempts. What should I do? PS: I downloaded IOS7 today. My passcode was never enabled! But after I installed the new software it automatically turned it on. I hadn't used it in so long, I couldn't remember my last passcode, hence the lockout.

Hello 199Seth
Reset the password and that will take care of activating your iPhone.

Email sub account locked out & won't unlock

My "primary" email account already went through the verizonwireless annoyance now, one of my "sub" email accounts is locked due to excessive failed attempts. Ok, normally I can deal with that. However, when prompted to change password & security question - it is defaulting to my PRIMARY account NOT my SUB account.
After going through the prompts and making the changes - my SUB account issue is still UNRESOLVED. Anyone else having this problem???
Thanks in advance for any help.

How you restore your security pass code if you have disabled your iPod, due to too many pass code attempts

How you restore your security pass code if you have disabled your iPod, due to too many pass code attempts?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

HT1212 ipod touch disabled due to too many incorrect password attempts - problem is I know the password

My daughter's ipod touch is locked due to too many incorrect password attempts (thanks to her little brother). It is displaying the red bar that states ipod is disabled connect to itunes. Problem is we don't have the computer that the ipod was originally synced with and she doesn't want to reset the ipod. In this instance we know the password.. so is there anyway to get the ipod to ask us one more time to enter the password? I'm not sure how many incorrect attempts were made, but it doesn't state anything about try again in so many minutes.. help, please!

No. Start with the last paragraph of:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

Login has been temporarily disabled due to too many unsuccessful login attempts.

Hello,
Does anyone know in how long after recieving the message "Login has been temporarily disabled due to too many unsuccessful login attempts. Please try again later." I will be able to login?

There is no generic password, that would create a HUGE security hole. If you have held the reset pinhole down for 15 seconds or so with the unit powered on, then released it, the password should be set to what is on the router label. admin will be the user and when you type the password you should see what appears to be other characters when you type..
One person with this issue had to type the password into notepad and copy paste it to get in.
You can change the default setting of 5 bad logins but I DO NOT recommend this credit to armond_in_nj
"You can reset the number of allowed unsuccessful logins. Log on to the device, then click on "Advanced." In the far left column, choose "Users." In "Login Configuration" set the desired number of unsuccessful logins.
Also be sure to either activate, accept, or save all desired changes prior to changing screens or logging off."
Personally I have also added and extra user in case I have an issue with admin

OIM 11gR2 - Push/Pull account locked out information from Active Directory

Hi
At this moment, we are using the default reconciliation method from the Active Directory Connector in OIM 11G R2 to fetch incremental information from AD. This runs every 15 minutes.
However, the customer complains that the time from which the user gets himself locked out due to too many failed login attempts, until it shows up on the OIM account is too long. Worst case, this could be 15 minutes after the user gets himself locked out.
Do anyone have any tips on how we could either push this information from AD-side, or pull this information from OIM more often? Could we create a special scheduled job that just looks for Locked Accounts, and reconciles this each minute?
Best Regards
lloberg

Hi,
Sure, that's definitely possible. You can use the Active Directory cmdlets to retrieve this information. Here's an example of reading input from a text file (just usernames in the text file):
Get-Content .\userList.txt | ForEach {
Get-ADUser -Identity $_ -Properties EmailAddress
You can also read input from a CSV file quite easily. This example assumes a header of Username:
Import-Csv .\userList.csv | ForEach {
Get-ADUser -Identity $_.Username -Properties EmailAddress
Finally, here's a link to the Get-ADUser syntax:

Incredibly weird issue, Win 7 account locked out

Hi folks,
Ill dive straight in with this one as Ive been working on it since 9am today, with little progress.
I have USER A who's account locks out without them even being logged into their machine. The user changed their password yesterday as per company policy and since then it keeps locking out after 3-5 minutes.
Platform - WIN 7
Pro 64 Bit
Server - Win Server 2008 R2 Standard
I have done the following -
Cleared credential manager - NO DIFFERENCE
Reset IE
and cleared personal details during reset - NO DIFFERENCE
Tested by logging
onto another machine - NO JOY
Recreated their login profile - NO
DIFFERENCE
Checked for logged on terminal services accounts - NONE LOGGED IN

I do not think this is an issue with the users machine. The reason I say this is because for one the issue follows the user when they logon to another machine. The second thing is, I took the machine completely off the network, as in disconnected it. Reset
the users account on the DC and just waited on the DC for 5 minutes. I double clicked into the users account again and under the account tab it was locked out again. What on earth could be causing this?
Jeet S

Event ID 4776 Status 0xc0000234 tells us there was a failed attempt because the account was already locked.
- Have you searched the logs for what computer is doing the lockout?
- Is there a possibility that the user is still logged on a different workstation and has it locked?
Maybe this can help:
Get the user's distinguishedname:
$DN = (get-aduser <username> ).distinguishedname
The check the Object Metadata for that account to find out exactly what time and DC the account was locked out on:
repadmin /showobjmeta <yourDC> "$DN"
Look through the results and find the property for "LockoutTime" (That'll tell you where to look)

Bt email sub account problem

Hi
i have been trying to make my first email sub account but with no luck, I set up the account fine but when I try an sign in with it I get the invalid email message come up and can't sign in, I have checked in the manage sub account tab but it says I have no sub account made, I have tried making several more but am still having the same issue? Can someone please help with this I would really appreciate it

Keith_Beddoe wrote:
I had a similar problem yesterday when trying to create a sub account for one of my granddaughters.
Lots of similar messages which I eventually figured out. It was due to the e-mail address already in use on the system by something else, perhaps a lapsed or suspended one?
There is some strange "error" message which comes up when you try and create the sub account.
I did eventually find an e-mail address that was accepted.
Out of interest, I tried to create one that I knew existed already, and got the expected "in use" message.
My conclusion was that if you try to create an e-mail address which has been somehow blocked by Yahoo, then you get unpredictable error messages, and not the normal expected one.
That's what I concluded on the other thread I mentioned, though I felt it was a lapsed old primary rather than a suspended one - though I guess it's equally as likely. In the other thread there was no error message, just a congratulations for creating a new account

Can't set up new email sub-account

I would like to be able to set up a new email sub-account. I've logged into my top level BT Yahoo email account OK and selected Account Info under the gear wheel, and get a verify password dialogue (all as advised on the relevant help page). I enter the correct password and then get a CAPTCHA dialogue consisting of moving text waving up and down behind other moving random text (NOT mentioned in the help pages!). I enter the appropriate text and press 'Continue'...and nothing happens. It should go through to dialogues allowing me to manage my sub-accounts, but it doesn't.
Am I doing something wrong? I have tried clearing the browser cache and repeated the process about four times with always the same result.
Any help much appreciated. The Indian call centre were not able to help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The BT account holder should have access to MYBT (or whatever you want to call it) by means of a username and password, not an email address. Once in the account, all forms of administration can then be carried out including setting an email address for correspondence, access to BTFON etc. Further email addresses could also be set up for users under the account management.
Ahhhhhhhhhh Licquorice, that is how us poor minions without a raft of letters behind our names would do it, I think simple logic is the word.
However, as in many walks of life today there are those with supposed qualifications and exerience who, in developing systems etc, appear to want to stamp a bit of their selves in whatever they do, by showing how they can deal with and produce complex systems......................................... when a simple one would suffice.
A simple analogy.

Email sub account issue

I have set up an email sub account with a separate yahoo login and password for my wife and configured thunderbird as her email client. However whenever she tries to get her email her password is rejected. But when she logs in through webmail her password is accepted... And thereafter thunderbird accepts her password too.

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
That issue seems to affect some people and not others, I have personally not had this particular issue in general.
Recommended things to do are to make sure that no other device is polling for emails at the same time, e.g. tablets/smartphones, change the password (it shouldn't need it).
However if you've just added the email address, I've known for pop3 access via a mail client to take a few hours (even days) to kick into life. So it might be a case of trying every few hours to see if it then works.

Service accounts locked out issue.

Hi,
While monitoring production servers, I noticed that all the Host Instances were stopped. In the Event log, I could see several Account Locked notifications (Service accounts for Hosts). Below are the relevant error messages that I could see in the event
log for this exception.
"The BTSSvc$My_Host service was unable to log on as mydomain\SvcAccount with the currently configured password due to the following error:
The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to."
"Windows saved user mydomain\SvcAccount registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.
This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account."
I am not able to figure out the root cause and the possible remedy. Please let me know your thoughts about the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Ujjwal
-Ujjwal

If this is the first time this has occured then it is possible that someone did change the service account passwords. Can you logon onto the BizTalk Machine using the Account & Password? If someone has changed the passwords you will need to go to each
machine, services.mmc and manually enter the password for each of the affected services.
If this is a recurring problem, it may be because of a Downadup.B infection and you'd need to take it up with the AntiVirus control team to help identify/rectify this.
