How to resolve password issue when attempting file sharing?

I have an Imac with os9.2.2 and a ClamShell ibook with os8.6. Until recently I have been able to file share, using an ethernet cable, without using a password.
When I go into Chooser on either machine and click on file server, eg. "Imac", I get a message to effect that the password is not recognized. I have tried to create a "new" password, but I cannot provide an "old" password.
How do I get around this or create a new password and move on?
Any help would be appreciated.
Imac   Mac OS 9.2.x  

Go to the Users and Groups tab in the FileSharing
control panel on machine number one. There you (as
the 'owner') will name the permitted User(s)—whatever
name you want to use— and you'll give him/her a
password—whatever you like or nothing at all.
Do the same on machine number two.
Since you own both machines, you can erase any
previous users with defective passwords. Or just
change their passwords.
If the Owner of each machine is the very same name on
each and if you haven't established a password for
the Owner(yourself), then you should be able to log
in as the Owner w/o a password. Presumably this was
what you had. Did you change the owner's name on
either machine?
If you're not worried about security, letting Guests
have access could also be password-free.
Ed,
Thank you for your help; file sharing is now operating between those machines.
I have now added another computer(OSX Tiger) to the network.
I am having similar problems getting file sharing to work. The new machine is owned by my wife. I added a name for her computer in the Users and Groups on the 9.2 machine. Her machine seems to recognize the old machine. But when I attempt to connect from either machine I get the "cannot connect" message.
Apple Help for the new machine suggests that a connection can only be done from the 9.2 machine.
Any suggestions? Perhaps this is not fair to add another question. Let me know if you would prefer that I post a new question.
Thanks again.
Bill

  • HT4907 Password Issue when attempting to enable Back to My Mac in iCloud Preferences - HELP?

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have a problem enabling Back to My Mac. When I try and enable B2MM in the iCloud preferences window, I am asked to enter my Apple ID password. It says the password is incorrect, even though it IS 100% correct. I've even tried resetting my password (so that the password lives up to the latest security requirements for passwords, etc). So, it's definitely correct, and I'm able to login to my Apple account here (on this Apple laptop as well as on my iPad and iPhone)... it's not an issue when I log in anywhere else... I am only told my password is incorrect when attempting to enable Back to My Mac in the iCloud preferences pane.
    Help?
    Many thanks!

    Do these make installation of memeo superfluous? Would I need memeo for daily back up?
    From what I gather, you couldn't pay me to use Memeo, nor actually a Seagate enclosure, nor many USB only drives, (USB is not bootable on PPC Macs).
    I've used maybe a few dozen backup Apps on the Mac, and I'd personally judge only Apple's Time Machine worse than that one.
    If you had it to do all over again, you'd get a case with Firewire, one with an Oxford chipset, not containing a Green Drive, not a Seagate Drive, not less than 7200 RPM drive, & a 32MB Cache, not with a One-Button touch feature, ( not a Bus powered drive like...

  • HT4913 How do I resolve this issue when I try to download iTunes. I receive this error message " iTunes64Setup.exe is corrupt or invalid"

    How do I resolve this issue when I try to download iTunes on my laptop?  It fails because of this error message " iTunes64Setup.exe is corrupt or invalid"

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • How to set password for a zip file and should be checked when reading that

    Hi friends,
    how to set password for a zip file and should be checked when reading that file???
    thanks.
    Praveen Reddy.J

    Heyy man, i think, u did not get my problem.
    all i have to do is:
    i have to create a zip file, and we should secure it with password when creating. and whenever the user wants to open that zip file he should provide correct passowrd otherwise he could not read that file. So, we should check for that also.
    Tanks for reply.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • How to resolve this issue??

    I have given box / borders for cells in the table in smartforms. in main window.
    Now when i print with HPlaser the output comes fine.
    But when i use Epson - The borders almost print 5 to 6 times bigger & looks to ugly and even the data is not shown. Meaning the data is overshadowed by the borders of the Cells.
    Tried to reduce the <b>width</b> in the BOX option of TABLE in smartforms. By default it is 15.00 TW.  did not work.
    EPSON is what they want to use.
    Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Siva

    Hi Siva,
    Ask them to provide the Diamension of what paper type they
    are using for EPSON, becoz U might have kept paper size
    as A4 and there they might be using INCH12 or some other size
    of paper( not Sure ).So if u can have the Exact paper format that
    they are going to use , u can design ur form in that paper format
    and then check.
    Regards

  • Error in ST05 - trace record pair error block. How to resolve/tackle issue?

    Hello,
    Someone approached me last week in asking me how to resolve an issue in ST05. Basically I used the transaction to filter "inclusive VBPA".
    The error is ....
    Internal error - trace record pair error block 8 link no. 0
    Message no. 0S 026
    Diagnosis
        Each SQL statement is described by two SQL trace records that have the
        same link number. In this case, there are at least three records with the
        same link number.
        The system outputs the number of the block in which the third SQL trace
        record was found, as well as the link number of the records.
    System response
        Program processing continues after the message is displayed. The system
        processes all of the trace records. You should assume, however, that the
        SQL trace in this case is not displayed correctly.
    Procedure
    You cannot correct this error yourself. If you can reproduce the error,
    contact the SAP Hotline.
    SQL trace list editing terminated after 6 errors
    While using the trace I am executing the program that selects VBPA once and, I am assuming, as it goes through the BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE used to unblock a delivery block. I am guessing the problem or source is from the BAPI but do you guys have other insights in what is causing this issue?
    Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon, and good day.

  • Password required when placing file in Trash?

    Hello everyone!
    Since upgrading to Maverick, I am required to enter my password each time I want to place a file in the trash. Also, it automatically empties the trash, rather than just placing it in there for me to empty the trash manually. How can I fix this?
    I'm really NOT a computer geek, so please bear with me and keep it simple!

    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.  If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through.

    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.

    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
