How to get "clear passwords" on WGM

When adding a user or editing an existing one, there is the problem that password fields (accounts section, tab "general") just show points (*) instead of the real password.
I find this annoying, since there is definitively nobody that looks over my shoulder when I work in WGM
It just forces me to keep a database with all my users' passwords in the case they have forgot theirs and just want to get remembered to the old ones.
Is there a way (maybe a manually done setting in a *.plist file or anything else) to get readable password fields ?

But let me say that is absolutely pointless to be paranoid about cgi's/scripts/
whatever on one side and on the other side have a relaxed password "policy".
You read my other thread, thanks (if you can provide me some tips, please do so there).
Well, in the case a user's password is spread, the worst thing that could happen is someone unauthorized reads the user's e-mails and modifies his/her website (my users do not have access to any other service). Although this would be worst enough for the user, it doesn't hurt the server itself (don't know if system integrity would be the matching term, but let's use it).
I agree fully to you that a password should not last too long... ideally the user could change its password without my assistance from time to time. But this seems not to be possible (you or someone else directed me to a plugin for WebMail/SquirrelMail that can be used to alter passwords from user's side, but I feared to install it so far since I know too less about SquirrelMail and how to bug-fix it in case of problems).
But since I'm the only person that access my computer, the passwords are stored secure enough. Furthermore the fact that WGM replaces typed in chars to "*" for passwords doesn't make them secure. It just hides them when someone looks over my shoulder.
Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts. If you can tell me how to make passwords visible in WGM, please don't hesitate and let me know. I will not take you responsible in case of stolen passwords. Promised

    You do not have the legal right to use the last owners content, nor is it legal for you to hack her account by getting her password.
    You need to erase the ipod and pout your content on it.

  • How to get administration password

    Please advice how to get administrator password

    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
    With 10.8 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
    of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

  • How to get CLEAR photos on the Touch?

    I love my iPod touch, but there's one thing that has always bothered my - photos sync'd through iPhoto-->iTunes are grainy and have bad color. Until now, I've been unable to prove this - but finally I've found a way to prove that it's not just in my head. So, I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to get clear photos on the Touch ... ?
    First of all, after using the app "PhoneView" to download my sync'd pictures from my iPod BACK to my Mac, I've noticed that the resolutions are different for pictures, depending on whether their orientation is portrait or landscape. For portrait 4x6 images, the resolution is indeed 480x320. However, for landscape orientation, the resolution is consistently 640x426. I think it's kind of odd that iTunes would be sizing photos differently depending on their orientation ... I usually have my full-resolution pictures in iPhoto and sync those images through iTunes, but today I also tried manually resizing my pictures to 640x426 (landscape) and 480x320 (portrait) and then syncing them as a folder, rather than through iPhoto. The results were the same as doing it through iPhoto: disappointing. I've put together a sample, below:
    !http://www.mavisxp.com/ipod/iTunes_compression.png!
    and another example here.
    As you can see, even the manually resized images are turning out horribly grainy. What's even more disappointing than the image quality, however, is the file size: my original JPG is 84KB, but the iTunes' "optimized" JPG is five times as large (456KB) with inaccurate color and awful grain to boot. I mean, it looks like someone dribbled a basketball all over a glossy print (seriously, that grain's pattern is an exact match with the grain on a basketball) ... Is it supposed to look like that?
    +After examining the EXIF data for both pictures, I've noticed another oddity which explains the bad color at least - when iTunes 'optimizes' pictures for the iPod, it apparently assigns them your monitor's color profile! Was this just an oversight that has yet to be corrected? When I export my pictures from Lightroom to iPhoto, I always use the sRGB profile because it's the most standard profile to use when sharing pictures (posting online, emailing, etc) ... My iMac's color profile is a custom Spyder2Pro profile, but that profile is only accurate for THIS MONITOR - certainly not my iPod! Anyway, I've uploaded the original pictures if anyone is interested in checking them out - you can download them in a zip archive here.+
    This is the second iPod I've noticed grainy pictures with, so I know it's not just defective hardware. So I guess my question is simple: does anyone know of ANY way to get clear photos sync'd with the iPod Touch or iPhone? I've poked through plists in iTunes.app and preferences, etc - but I haven't found anything. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply, Duddo.
    I guess you're right, Apple probably just wanted to simplify the syncing process and make it consistent for all users. And no, most users probably won't notice that awful grain and poor color reproduction.
    That said, I think it's a real shame to waste the capabilities of the iPhone/Touch like this. Wasting storage space is asinine (increasing file size 5X when 'optimizing'?!) not only due to the limited storage space available in the first place, but also due to the fact that smaller files are quicker and easier to load and manipulate. Overwriting color profiles is just sloppy coding, an oversight - hopefully one they'll soon fix. But the biggest problem for me is that the pinch/zoom functionality is USELESS because if you zoom in at all, the grain is so blatantly obvious. I found an old discussion thread on another forum which mentions this problem, according to several posters there, the grain problem was introduced AFTER the iPhone launched (meaning it can likely be corrected in a firmware update or an iTunes update) ... You can check out that discussion here, if you're interested:
    http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone/not-optimize-photos-8264.html
    Anyway thanks again for your reply. I'll keep my eye on this thread and if I hear anything about this issue (or a workaround) I'll be sure to post it!

  • How to get clear small text on black background?

    hi,
    I'm trying to get some clear small text on black, in the letterboxed area below some video. I've been trying 14pt, with a bit of tracking, using Arial, Helvetica, Skia, and Lucida Grande. They all look clear enough when rendered out to QT, but on my production monitor they dont look good. When I compress it for DVD (using very high bit rate settings) they really fall apart.
    I even tried making the text in After Effects, which is what I do with my subtitles, but those are larger (about 24points) and for some reason the small text generated in After Effects looked worse than the native FCP text.
    Does anyone have suggestions for the best combination of font and point size to give me clear small text for a black background? I dont mind going up a few point sizes.
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you....

    Hi all,
    Many thanks for all the suggestions.
    I wound up using Helvetica 18pt, white set at 85%, and applied stib's de-interlacer (http://www.pureandapplied.com.au/plugins.html).
    I tried Guassian Blur set to 0.1 but that made it less clear and didn't really help with the flicker. I also made sure to set the position to an even numbered line (I'm using uncompressed)
    When I tried Helevetic 17pt, the "a" and the "e" both fell apart towards the top of the letter making them hard to read. I would guess that "g", "i", and "j" would also have problems had I used them.
    I didnt have enough time to test, but I wonder if there isnt some font that is better suited for this kind of work than Helvetica. Futura is nice and clean, but a bit thin. Helvetica Neue is also good, but not much differnet than Helvetica. Verdana and Lucida Grande might also be good choice. What do you all use?
    thanks again...

  • How to get credentials (password) in a jsp

    Hi
    Our application is launched as a jsp which has an applet communicating
    with a rmi server. The jsp page is served as an WAR. The server
    requires the password and the user name. For this we used the
    statements
    <PARAM NAME="userName" VALUE="<%= request.getRemoteUser() %>">
    <PARAM NAME="password" VALUE="<%= ( (weblogic.security.acl.User)
    request.getUserPrincipal() ).getCredential( request.getUserPrincipal()
    ) %>">
    in our jsp. The second line always returns a blank string (something
    is null).
    Do we have to setup something in the weblogic properties to enable it
    or should do somethig different in the code.
    thanks in advance

    works fine.

  • How do get my password for my original Apple ID reset, when it keeps sending instructions to the emaill account I'm locked out of?

    My Iphone start bugging me for my apple id password recently, and i would put inm and move on; then sduddenly it siad I had the wrong password.
    I checked my passord book and entered it again, but it's saying it incorrect. Then when it try to reset it sends info to  my @ me mail account (my apple id), but i can't access that account without the password--AARGGHHH.

    If you know the answers to your security questions, you can reset the password without sending an email as explained in the first section of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.  If you dont' know the answer to your security questions, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.  You'll need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

  • What is DSGATEWAY and how to get its password ?

    I want to change the IP address on midtier Oracle Application Server 10g R2 (9.0.4). In the oracle Admin doc ( network config sec). there is a command ldapsearch which should return the dsgateway password. But running it it returns "ldap_search No such object". I am running it from cmd ( Windows 2000 Server).

    Unless you use OracleAS Syndication Services you don't need to know the password and you can use a dummy password for DSGATEWAY using chgiphost.sh.
    ldapsearch should work for you (one word no underscore), try to add ORACLE_HOME/bin to your PATH environment variable.
