HOW DO I SET A PASSWORD SO MY NEIGHBORS CAN"T LOG ON? I"VE TRIED EVERYTHING

Please help me if you can!
I recently purchased a Airport Express base station and everything works fine except I can't figure out how to set it up so I have to log on with a password every session. I'd like to be sure my neighbors aren't using my network...
I went to the Mac store today and the advice they gave didn't even work!
Do you know a sure fire way for me to establish this type of network?
Thank you!!!

Do you know a sure fire way for me to establish this
type of network?
Applications > Utilities > Airport Admin Utility

Remember it.
Click OK
Click Update.
You will be thrown off your wireless network, wait five minutes and when you re-join you will be asked for a wireless password.
Done.

How do I set a password so no-one can use my PC?

I tried "set user password" and "set administrator password" in BIOS but they don't work like it has on my previous PCs. I want it to ask for a password before even booting up Windows but instead it only asks for it to use the BIOS.
Is there any setting I need to change?

No...I was thinking more on the lines of disconnecting, or just turning the monitor off! Also, you can use clear tape, and tape down the "enter" key....no boot or no video!!!!! Nobody thinks of stuff like that! I learned it from the IT dept. at the engineering company I used to work at. They were always messin' with each others computers...another thing you can do is turn down the visual settings from the monitor controls!!!! Works every time!!!!

how do I set a password for adobe reader

You can set a password for your device (iPad or iPhone) in Settings. You cannot set a password on the Adobe Reader app itself.
If you want to password protect a PDF document you cannot do it in Reader. It must be done in Acrobat on Macintosh or Windows.

That's not possible in Adobe Reader - you will need to use a PDF creation or editing program such as Adobe Acrobat.

Whenever I open AirPort Utility it tells me "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. Airport Utility will continue searching."
"Hard reset" the Extreme by holding its reset button in continuously, until the LED flashes amber rapidly. Connect to the open network it creates (Apple Network nnnnnn) and configure it with AirPort Utility.

AirPort Utility will prompt you for that once it finds the Extreme.

HT2688 How do I set the password for my iTunes Library Home Sharing?

I have a new Macbook and I'd like to access my library from my old one via Home Sharing. The library appears in my iTunes, but when I go to enter my Apple ID password, it says that the password is incorrect. Home Sharing is enabled on the old computer. What else could the password be/how do I set the password on my old computer?

What password did you define on the computer where the library actually exists? It could be your Apple ID password but that wouldn't be very smart.
Just turn off the password for homesharing unless you actually need it.
Edit > Preferences > Sharing > either uncheck the option to require a password or simply change it.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

How do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play

here we go, that is if I'm not driven mad by the process of trying to work out how to use this help thing.
how do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play ie the character then as an indented bit what they say

Here's a sample, using what should be a familiar script to any radio drama buff, and showing a few of the features you'll want to incorporate into your template.
Features noted by arrows:
This is the "First line indent" margin stop, in this case, set to produce a 'hanging indent'. This stop sets the starting position of the first line of a Paragraph.
Left margin stop: This stop sets the starting position of all lines in a paragraph except the first.
When setting margins, set this one first, as it will drag the First line indent stop with it when moved. After setting this one (by dragging it to the position on the ruler where you want it to be), drag the rectangle (First line stop) left as far as it will go.
Right margin stop.
Running Header: This is a combination of text that appears on every page, plus the page number / page count—very useful information when someone drops his script. (Typed here, but a combination of typing and inserting the two number calculators from the Insert menu in the actual template.)
Tab character. Used to move the first line of the dialogue into alignment with the rest of that paragraph. The Left margin stop also acts as a Tab stop.
Paragraph break (made by pressing the return key). After a Paragraph break, the next line of the script will start at the left margin of the page. To break a long monologue into smaller blocks, use a 'soft return', made by pressing Shift-return, as I've done twice here...
...to produce an empty line without creating a 'new paragraph' (or in this case, a new item on the current list.
Those are the basics for producing the body of your script.
Regards,
Barry

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud. In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

How to programmatically set initial password when a user is created in OID

We are using the odihragent synchronization process to automatically create users in OID when an employee record is created. We would like to set the initial password for the newly created user to their last name + the last 4 digits of their SSN.
The odihragent process is successfully creating the user in OID and populates the last name and the last 4 digits of the SSN in OID. According to an open SR I have with Oracle, we cannot use the odihragent process to set the initial password because any time the employee record is updated, the synchronization process will reset the password to last name + SSN. They have recommended that we use a pl/sql plug-in to set the password using the WHEN_ADD plug-in procedure.
I am new to using OID and plug-ins and the examples provided in the Developer's Guide are limited.
I would like to know if anyone else is using plug-ins or another process to set initial passwords when a user is created? If you are using plug-ins would you be willing to share a code sample?

I am surprised that I have not received any responses... Surely there are others who are experienced with programmatically setting passwords when new users are programmatically created. Does anyone have any pointers on how to best accomplish this?
