Help Disk Drive Locked With Encryption Password
Hi,
I reciently encryptyed my SSD on my Mac-Air and have now forgeten the password. Is there a way to fix it with out taking it to apple and getting a new drive?
You can't do it in Disk Utility; you'll have to use the shell. It will be a lot easier if you have a bootable backup. That way you can copy and paste the shell commands, instead of having to type them.
The basic idea is in this thread:
Hard disk bricked after using file...: Apple Support Communities
First, you determine the UUID of the logical volume group corresponding to the boot volume. Then you delete that logical volume group.
Then you should be able to format the partition in Disk Utility, install OS X, and transfer your data from Time Machine in Setup Assistant.

Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.
Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City -
I have an external seagate 2tb drive with 3 partitions each with encrypted passwords. What must I do if one of the drives won't recognize it's password?
I would have to say the LCD display or possibly the inverter as the graphics adapter can properly output to an external monitor. This would be repaired under warranty.

I have an iPhone 4S that is locked with a password & cant remember password. when I connect to my computer it says that it cannot find the device driver. How can i fix this?
Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,

G3 missing internal hard drives using OS 10.3.9, Disk drives work with OS 9
G3 missing internal hard drives using OS 10.3.9, Disk drives work with OS 9. I installed OS X over a year ago, and could never get it to recognize 2 previous internal disk drives. When I run OS 9 it works fine.
rob:
I think I'm beginning to get the picture. "Missing drives" refers to the two that do not show up on the DT when you boot in OS X. Now, some more questions for clarification.
1. Is each of the drives formatted Mac OS Extended or HFS+?
2. What do you have on each individual drive?
3. What OS is installed on the Master drive?
4. Are OS 9 and OS X installed on separate drives?
5. If they are, is there a particular reason you want it so?
6. Can you use the Startup Manager to select the startup disk?
7. Which is the default startup disk?
Lots of questions, I know, but it will help me to get a picture of the set up. I think I have an idea of what is going on, but I can't be sure until I know more.
Good luck.

Powershell script monitor with encrypted password
I have created a powershell script based monitor in my management pack and everything is ok but I can't get my credentials work inside the script. I want to open pssession to another computer with my credentials. I have triple checked that my pssession is
working because I can access it from powershell console.
This works perfectly at local server from PSconsole:
$EncryptedPassword ="01000000d08c9ddf0115d1118c7a00c04fc297eb01000000534b2....etc...etc..."
$pw = convertto-securestring -String $EncryptedPassword
$cred = new-object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist "MyDOMAIN\MyACCOUNT",$pw
$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName "MyServer" -Port MyPort -Credential $cred
But when I run the same lines inside my management pack the convertto-securestring
does nothing, it just wont convert the encrypted password to secure string!
I have tried this plain text method and it works
inside my management pack, but I don't want to use it because you can see the password in plain text:
ConvertTo-SecureString -String "myPlainTextPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
This is the $error variable, so it's basically says that I don't have anything in the password secure string variable because the convertion did not work for some reason:
The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try running the command again. Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Credential'. PromptForCredential Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s):
"Cannot process argument because the value of argument "password" is null. Change the value of argument "password" to a non-null value." The system cannot find the file specified. Exception calling "SecureStringToBSTR"
with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: s" The system cannot find the file specified. Exception calling "SecureStringToBSTR" with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: s"
The system cannot find the file specified.
So is there some known issue with SCOM Agent / management pack when you are dealing with convertto-securestring
function with encrypted passwords?
I used these methods to encrypt the password: Technet article about encryptionI got it to work!

My ipod screen is cracked and i can't sync my ipod to itunes because it is locked with a password and i can't enter the password because the heat sensor is messed up on the ipod becasue of the screen and i don't want to restore it and lose everything. What can i do?!
All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Login with encrypted password doesn't work
Hi, simple problem:
in login settings with encrypted password option on
The login doesn't work => Error:"AFTER.Trigger_Login_CheckLogin*"
(tested with a user that has an encrypted password)
without encrypted password
The login works
(tested with a user that has a clean password)
Where I wrong?
Thanks
GabrieleHi Gabriele,
how many varchars did you define for the column that´s holding the encrypted passwords ? It has to be at least 32 chars due to the MD5 encryption, if it´s lesser than that, the passwords will get truncated.
