How do I get into my admin account? Locked out.

I changed my users and groups so that I would only have to type in my name and password. When i logged out to try it the password box shakes and I can only go into as guest. I know my name and password, and caps was not on. I can't get into my account, any suggestions?

    I'm new to icloud. How do I get into my icloud account (not my icloud email)?

    To access some of your account settings and other data you can go to http://www.icloud.com on a Mac or PC (not an iOS device), though this will not show, for example, storage used or purchased data settings.
    To make use of iCloud sign in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud (or the iCloud Control Panel on a PC) and enable the data types you want to sync. You can also view data usage there and purchase additional storage if required.

  • Admin Account Locked Out Indefnitely

    I want to know steps to retrieve my administrator account(only one) of a domain containing single domain controller has been locked out by a group policy that has been set. The lockout duration has been set to 0(indefnitely, until manually unlocked by the
    administrator).

    Hi,
    Based on my experiences, during the process of promoting a server to Domain Controller, we need to configure a
    Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) Administrator Account Password, providing this password allows us to restore Active Directory.
    If the scenario in your post occurs, we can use DSRM password to restore AD to a point where the admin’s account is not locked out.
    Therefore, please make sure that administrators perform regular
    backup so we can restore Active Directory after a sudden crash, and remember the DSRM password.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
    "This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
    Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • Domain admin accounts locks out constantly

    Hello.
    My boss has a domain admin account that keeps locking out, and we can't figure out why. We can tell from the domain controller logs that krbtgt is the *offending* service, and it is coming from a sql server that we have. In looking over the server, we can't
    find where any passwords might be stored that would be trying to pass this automatically. We've even manually removed any profile information for this account that we could find. If I reset the account, I can then log into the server with his account and everything
    is fine, but after logging out the account locks again.
    Does anybody have any ideas for how to fix this?
    If it helps, the EventID is 4771 and the Status that gets returned is 0x12

    I have something that can help you enabling netlogon logging on all DCs.
    1. Make a list of DCs and save it in a text file called dcs.txt (you can do that by running netdom query DC).
    2. Download psexec.exe from sysinternals
    3. Then run the following to enable logging:
    for /f %i in (dcs.txt) do psexec \\%i c:\windows\system32\nltest.exe /dbflag:0x2080ffff
    4. Take the log files all in your place:
    for /f %i in (dcs.txt) do copy /y \\%i\admin$\debug\netlogon.log .\%i.netlogon.log
    5. then search for wrong passwords:
    type *.netlogon.log |findstr /i 0xC000006A > badpasswords.txt
    6. Disable netlogon logging:
    for /f %i in (dcs.txt) do psexec \\%i c:\windows\system32\nltest.exe /dbflag:0x0

  • OER 10gr3- Admin Account Locked out

    I have locked out the only admin account for OER 10gr3. I obviously can't login to the tool to unlock the account so I am a little stuck. I thought I could try and unlock the account via the DataBase but my attempts have failed. I located the account status which was 20 and changed it to 0 which from the documentation should be active but that didn't work. I guess I could blow away the DB but this seems a little extreme. If anyone has a proceedure to fix/recover from this situation please help.
    Edited by: user9320200 on May 6, 2010 4:25 PM

    To unlock user Accounts:
    1. Stop OER
    2. update ENTSECUSERS set ACTIVESTATUS=0 where USERNAME='xxxxxxxx';
    3. Need to get the entsecuserid value from entsecusers table and column ID,
    4. update CMEEUSERS set ACTIVESTATUS=0 where ENTSECUSERID='id value';
    5. Restart OER

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
