GDM password prompt problem

When I resume using my computer GDM pops up and asks for my password. I'm okay with that but it isn't following the current GDM theme it looks like the default theme from when I first installed GNOME. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The fix is here in the Wiki article, you can change the image to one of your choice:

GDM Password Prompt Does Not Appear

Alternate Title: systemctl: No space left on device.
I'll preface this by saying that GDM never has any trouble starting; this doesn't seem like the same issue as threads like this one. But when trying to log in, after picking a user or typing in a username and pressing enter... nothing happens. The password prompt never appears. If I've clicked a user in the chooser, it will time out and go back to the chooser after a minute or so.
Whenever I start or stop GDM with systemctl, I get:
Error: No space left on device
This wouldn't be too bad, if GDM worked consistently (it happens with almost any systemctl action). Output from systemctl status is below.

And btw, this doesn't happen every time.
Usually a reboot or two is enough.
It also may happen during session, if system has been idle for awhile (this hasn't happenned yet to me but for somebody else using this PC).

Streaming videos and password prompt problem...

Hi there,
So I have been trying to watch the latest Apple keynote stream from the Quicktime page but every time I try to watch it, it asks me for my University library username and password. Why is it asking me for this stuff? I havent entered the information yet because it seems completely out of place to be asked for it when I want to watch an Apple stream.
I am not currently connected to the University network in any way right now and I havent connected to it in that particular way (proxy server) in a very long time.
I have cleared all of the old proxy settings and I have also tried deleting all of the .plist files for quicktime with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Have you tried repairing disk/permissions from your Tiger DVD?
I really don't know why you are being asked a password.

Computer Shuts Down At BitLocker Boot Password Prompt

Hi All,
I have been using this computer for almost 6 months now with absolutely no problems until I encrypted my system drive with BitLocker. I am not using a TPM. Now, almost every time I get to the password prompt for BitLocker at boot, my computer turns completely
off. I am using an ASUS Z97-E. ASUS tech support was completely useless and wanted to pass the blame instead of help, so I guess I'm on my own as far as their support.
I have read previously that this may be related to ASUS products. I cannot seem to get it to boot reliably. If I completely remove power from the machine by unplugging it, sometimes that will give me enough time to enter my password. If I don't, often, it
will only give me a couple seconds (and my password is pretty long) before shutting down.
I have tried disabling Secure Boot and that seemed to help at first but then the problem came right back.
There is a BIOS update available but I'm not confident it will fix the problem.
Are there any specific BIOS settings I can change to make BitLocker stop making my computer shut down? Any Windows settings I can change that might help?
I'd really like to keep my data encrypted but I'm not sure if this hassle is worth it.

Hi,
Based on my research, this is a firmware problem. It does not matter what authentication method (TPM/without TPM/PIN+TPM/Password only/...) is used, it leaves you only some seconds before it shuts down.
It's recommend you contact ASUS tell them to try and reproduce it. They would need to fix their BIOS.
In addition, we could try to disable "fast startup" as below steps to see if it could be as a workaround:
1.In Control Panel, open the Power Options item.
2.Click the Choose what the power buttons do link.
3.Clear the Turn on fast startup (recommended) check box.
4.Click Save Settings.

Freezes on startup during password prompt

Whenever I restart my computer it boots normally until the password prompt comes on. It still looks fine until i go to enter in a password.
As soon as i begin to enter a password the color spinning wheel appears and will start spinning forever. I usually have to turn it off and then turn it back on again.
Then sometimes on restart it will just go to a gray apple screen with the apple logo and hte spinning progress dial. This can also go on forever.
After many times of restarting the computer it will work. But i just switched to a mac and was wondering if there is anything I might be doing wrong or anything I should do to fix this.
Thanks
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

There's no reason not to take it in or call Applecare on the phone--I have found them to be very good at walking you through problems and determining if it is just a matter of setting preferences or if there is something actually wrong.
If you have access to an Apple store, I think they have free classes which will teach you how to use your computer (at least our Apple Store does). You might find this helpful if you are new to Macs.
Good luck!

In SE80 when CVAW_ENTIRE is Executed and when DIR is Accessed there using Display/Change, All file formats are accesed fine without any password prompt,But While Opening Microsoft Office Documents(.doc,.docx,.xls,.xlsx,.ppt..pptx) from WEB DMS DIR it gives UserName Password Prompt (Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection))....
When i don't enter username and password and press cancel file opens in Read Only Mode...So, i need is by default file shoud open in read only mode without asking unnecessary Password Prompt...Above is applicable when MS Office 2007 is installed in local PC
For Office 2003 the problem is there for .xls,.xlsx,.ppt,.pptx files , however .doc files opens fine and does not ask for any password prompt and opens in read only mode directly.
The above both scenarios for Office 2007 & Office 2003 works fine with Mozilla Firefox Browser and does not prompt for any passwords.

Password prompt Error with Bex and Excel 2007

Hi Guru's,
We have a problem with end users that have the Bex add-in loaded in Excel 2007 when they are using a different 3rd party add-in. The problem is when they close Excel, they get password prompted for a password protected VB project in the workbook.
I found a MSFT article that sounds exactly like the problem I'm seeing. Link is below.
[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/280454]
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks

Hi Brian:
Take a look at SAP Note 1397278 - "BPC: Pop-up window prompting for a password to unprotect the sheet in Journal template with Office 2007 SP2".

Exchange 2003 - Continous password prompts in Outlook 2010

Hi.
A customer is experiencing continous password prompts in Outlook 2010. Outlook is configured against the Exchange 2003 BE server (FQDN) and Outlook Anywhere is configured to sync.customer.com with a valid 3rd party certificate.
Outlook is configured with Negotitate as Logon network security, setting this to basic/NTLM does not help. Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP is set and configured with sync.customer.com, and msstd:sync.customer.com. All points checked except "On
fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP", authentication is set to Basic. Changing authentication from Basic to NTLM seem to make the problem vanish.
Outlook Anywhere is functioning correctly and only prompting once for password when connecting from an external network. ISA is not configured for NTLM/Kerberos.
Exchange 2003 is located in main site in a resource domain. The prompts occur more often in two remote sites than the main site.
When opening Outlook RPCDiag shows established connection to BE and Active Directory, sometimes with prompt and sometimes without. After about 5 minutes the prompt may reappear, entering password does not remove the prompt, clicking cancel puts Outlook in
the "Need password" state, clicking this usually successfully connect Outlook to Exchange. Other times this just cause the prompt to reappear.
I´ve tried adding the internal and/or external IP address of the ISA server as sync.customer.com in the host-file on a client and forcing RPC/HTTPS through the DisableRpcTcpFallback, still getting the password prompts.
We have also been through the KB975363, changing the MaxConcurrentAPI on all domain controllers.
Finally, we know Exchange 2003 is in a unsupported state so there is no need to comment this.

Hi,
Firstly, I'd like to explian, basic authentication requires the user to enter domain, user name, and password. Thus, it's an expected behavior that the credential prompts once when the authentication is set to basic and it disappears when it's NTLM authentication:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996225(v=exchg.65).aspx
For the issue that the credential keeps prompting, I'd like to confirm if Outlook 2003 works well. If yes, you can refer to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927612/en-us
If all outlook clients prompt credential, you can check the RPC over HTTP connectivity by ExRCA:

I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

Mavericks Outlook 2011 Password Prompt (Solution)

I have a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Outlook 2011 kept pushing the password prompt to the screen. I have searched and searched for a solution. I have seen the following solutions offered:
Issues with Keychain corruption
Outlook autodiscovery
Deleting files
Reinstalling Outlook
Reinstalling Mavericks
I'm not doing any reinstalls because until I installed Mavericks I didn't have Outlook problems. So reinstalling Outlook and the OS was not an option for me because I do so much work on my Mac.
But I'm in IT so I decided to begin to dig deep into this because regardless of the proposed solutions offered there was still someone in the thread say, "I tried this but it didn't work for me." I too was one of them.
The distinction I needed popped into to my face looking at another thread but the user didn't answer the guys question. He simply asked the complaining user, "Are you on wireless, 802.1x?" That was it.
I was on wireless 802.1x environment.
Our wireless controller does authenticate to the Active Directory server.
I did use the iPhone Configuration Utility to create my wifi profile.
I did import the CAs needed for my profile.
My profile does work.
But what about the Exchange portion of my profile?
The Exchange portion of my profile was EMPTY? The password kept coming back because my user/machine level authentication was being managed by my wireless profile. Due to this my profile took responsibility for authenticating to my WIFI connection as well as my Exchange account. In the end the profile seems to takes precedence in the 802.1x authentication.
I went back the iPhone Configuration Utility, clicked on my profile, clicked on the Exchange and filled in my domain\username, my email address, my password and a few other boxes. I exported my profile to my desktop and clicked on it. Since my profile still had the same name I was asked if I wanted to "Overwrite" my existing profile to which I responded, "Yes"
Since yesterday I have not had anymore issues with Outlook or Office Communicator.
To add I still disabled App Nap.
I hope this helps anyone. If you have migrated from MLion to Mavericks running MS Office you will have this problem if you are working in an 802.1x wireless environment.

I've included a pic of the iPhone Configuration Utility showing the Exchange section. I hope this helps someone.

Unable to make in app purchases, no password prompt

I initially tried to purchase items on a game but when prompted to put my password in I entered it correctly (100% sure) and it said something along the lines of cannot detect Apple ID or password is incorrect. A bit confused I decided to sign out and in of my itunes account. Upon going back to the app when I press ok to purchase the items the password prompt never appears, it isn't a delay as I waited for 10mins+ but nothing happens. I've verified my purchase details twice to no avail. If someone has a fix for this it would be greatly appreciated.

What happens when you try to do the in-app purchase, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users here on these forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

Disk Encryption password prompt

I have 2 macbook Pro Retina machines, Identical. One for work and a personal one.
Disk encryption is on for both machines.
My work machine just logs me in no problem.
My personal machine asks me for a disk encryption password every boot, then the login password. I can't find the setting to turn off the disk encryption password prompt.
What did i do differently?

So I solved it for myself.
seems I had encrypted the disk using DU from the pre-boot environment, therefore the encryption had occured without my user account holding the "keys" to the encryption. The end result is that a password is needed for both my account and the encryption seperately.
I turned off file vault as root from the command line and re-enabled it as my user. problem solved.

Time Machine multiple password prompts after 10.5.6 upgrade

Wanted to see if anybody else has noticed this behavior change since upgrading to 10.5.6. I back my MacBook Pro to a network drive shared from my Mac Mini. With 10.5.5 and earlier, I'd mount the network drive, and then set Time Machine to use it. I'd get one password prompt, for the initial mount of the network drive.
Post-10.5.6, I mount the network drive (password prompt #1), and then tell Time Machine to use that drive, and I get another password prompt from Time Machine. I'm not sure why this is, and it seems like a behavior change. Has anybody else noticed these double password prompts after going to 10.5.6?
--Bernie

I have the exact same problem since upgrading to 10.5.6. The time machine arrows start spinning, and then stop with the exclamation point. I look at the dropdown and it says "Latest Backup: Delayed"
When I open Time Machine Preferences, it tells me I have 32.2 GB of 232.7 GB available. And in latest backup, it says "Failed" with the little "i" in the circle. When I click the "i" it tells me "The backup volume could not be mounted."
When I actually look at the contents of the drive (which definitely is mounted) I see a 200GB file (the correct size) named [name of my computer]_[some serial number].sparsebundle. The stuff in brackets is replaced since I don't know if that's the sort of thing that I should post.
What seems odd (although I haven't looked at the volume enough in the past to know if it is odd), is that both the modified date and the creation date are March 27, 2008 which, I believe, is when I first started using time machine.
The only other thing on that drive is a folder, "untitled folder"
That's it. I'm not sure about whether it's trying to backup when not connected, but I think I remember that.
Do these specifics fit with what you can see about the current state of your backup?

How to set new sudo password prompt?

Hi guys, i've a problem with sudo!
I want set a new password prompt for me but unfortunately don't how to do...
I set a defaults line in sodoers file with this syntax:
Defaults passprompt="MyPass:"
but don't work...
I tried also start sudo with -p paramenter: sudo -p "Mypass:" but nothing
Someone can help me please...:(

Actually, sudo has an option for this:
sudo -p 'Enter your password, %u:'
'%u' will be replaced with your username. You can also use %H or %h for the hostname with or without the domain, %U for the username sudo will use to run your command, or %% for an actual percent sign.
If you want to set a permanant prompt, either set the environment variable "SUDO_PROMPT" or set "passprompt" in /etc/sudoers using visudo.
I tried this solution but don't work for me..
If i try to do:
# sudo -p 'My Password:' i've "Password" for pass prompt..
I've re-checked the sudoers file, is this:
# sudoers file.
