I cannot disable my password

I have a password on my phone but the (disable words) don't appear anymore,how can I fix this? I did the battery removal so should I do a wipe and start over?

If you are not able to disable the password, you likely have a small red lock icon next to the enabled selection. it means you have a corporate IT Policy on the device.
Is your BlackBerry a personal device, or are you on a corprate enterprise server for email and such?
If personal, where did you buy it?
Also, look at Options > Security > General Security, and at the bottom of the screen at **services** do you see any policy name?

Disable change password in the file sharing window

I have two labs, 25 computers per lab. One is running Lion, the other is running Snow Leopard. When file sharing to other computers in both labs on our network, it is required that you enter a password before you can access the files. Lion offers the option to change that password for certain computers when file sharing with them. I need to disable this feature so students cannot change the passwords randomly. The students may not be able to change the password for other Lion computers, due to parental controls that I have set, I'm not positive, but they can change the password for a Snow Leopard computer, and my network people do not want me putting Lion on all of the computers, therefore this is not an option. Is there any way for me to disable this feature?

Hey, password file is a binary file, you are not suppose to do that.

How to disable role password in Solaris 11

Roles can only be assumed by logged in users. That is the definition of a role. Therefore role authentication is to some extent double authentication. The user has already authenticated as himself when he logged in and the sysadmin has enough trust in him to grant him a certain role. So why would he need to authenticate to the role? Isn't that double authentication ? Anyway I can see why that makes sense on a role like 'root' but on other more normal types of roles ? Really?
Anyway that is not what this posting is about. It is about me not being able to figure out how to disable role password in Oracle 11.
In Solaris 10 I would do:
<pre>passwd -r files -d myrole</pre>
That would set the myrole account to a no password account and that would be enough to disable it.
In Solaris 11 I cannot make this work. I suspect this is because of the introduction of the roleauth attribute but I've tried all possible combinations:
<pre>passwd -r files -d myrole</pre>
<pre>rolemod -K roleauth=user myrole</pre>
or
<pre>passwd -r files -d myrole</pre>
<pre>rolemod -K roleauth=role myrole</pre>
Can't make any of these work.
Pls help.

Hello MrMonza,
I do not completely understand what you are looking for. Perhaps it would help if you explained, for which purpose you want to use your new role.
In short, a role is simply a user account, to which you cannot login directly. As to every user account, rights are assigned to each role. And as for every user account, you have to provide a password for it.
If you want to switch to a role without password, this is nearly the same as extending the rights of your account.
This is possible by assigning additional profiles to it via /etc/user_attr. Privileged commands, written by you, and connected to these profiles, can be defined in /etc/security/exec_attr.d/local-entries. These commands can be called via pfexec, see pfexec(1), which grants privileges (e.g. uid=0) for just the call.
See also user_attr(4), prof_attr(4), exec_attr(4) and the "SEE ALSO" sections in there.
Profiles can be chosen from the predefined profiles in /etc/security/prof_attr.d, or they can be self-assembled from these profiles and authorizations from /etc/security/auth_attr.d.
New profiles should be stored in /etc/security/prof_attr.d/local-entries.

Cannot disable Homes: Enable Virtual Share Points

Hello,
We just installed 10.5 server this morning, and many things seem to be a big improvement-- e.g., the new version of Samba (3.0.25) now allows AD transitive trust users to connect, whereas 10.4's Samba (3.0.10) did not. But the problem now is: we cannot disable the virtual share points for homedirs on Samba. In Server Admin, if you uncheck the checkbox and hit "Apply", the GUI rechecks it.
10.4 Server has this same configuration option, and it works as expected. I did a little investigation with the serveradmin command-line tool on our Leopard machine, and this tool exhibits the same problem. For example:
floydpepper:/ admin$ sudo serveradmin settings smb:adminCommands:homes = no
Password:
smb:adminCommands:homes = yes
For reference, we are set up as a Domain Member for Active Directory. We do not have any schema additions (for Mac stuff, anyway).
I suspect that maybe there's some configuration option further up that supercedes this, and that's why Server Admin rechecks the checkbox. My guess was that maybe Directory Services was overlaying an attribute on top of AD information. And I see that if I use dscl and look at the attributes for my user in AD, there is indeed an attribute for home folders that clearly does not exist in the AD itself: "NFSHomeDirectory" which is set to /Users/[myusername]
When I go back and us dscl to lookup the same thing in Tiger Server, Directory Services also appends the NFSHomeDirectory attribute, but without the same side-effect. So I'm probably mistaken that that is the cause.
Anyone have any pointers? This looks an awful lot like a bug to me.
Thanks,
-b
P.S. I also did have a look at where in smb.conf this is being set-- it is being put in an include'd smb.conf that is stored in /var/run. If I comment out the \[homes\] section, and restart Samba, that /var/run/smb.conf is overwritten with a new autogenerated version. I would just wipe that section out, lock the file, and restart Samba, but I really do want our administrators to be able to use the GUI tools. Otherwise, I would just be using Samba on Linux.

I was able to "fix" the issue with an ugly workaround by modifying /etc/smb.conf and adding certain values to the [[homes]] share that render it ineffective. I added the following to /etc/smb.conf:
; Site-specific parameters can be added below this comment.
; END required configuration.
; Hack to disable virtual homes
[[homes]]
path = /dev/null
valid users = root
; END hack
With these values added to [[homes]], it is only available to the root user, and even then it would go nowhere. I debugged the issue to the point where it appears that the synchronize-preferences tool (/usr/libexec/samba/synchronize-preferences) ignores user settings for disabling virtual homes. I sent so far as to modify the system default in /System/Library/CoreServices/SmbFileServer.bundle/Resources/ServerDefaults.plis t to see if it was a simple case of default settings overriding user settings, but that also had no effect on the configuration that synchronize-preferences created in /var/db/smb.conf
I hope this helps you all out.

How do I disable login password?

I am having heaps of trouble with an annoying login password that I cannot disable. I have followed all directions and still it persists. what do I do now any one know?

There is a Log in password for a reason. So anyone turning on your computer can't use it or look at your files without knowing the password. To disable the use of it means that everyone walking by you Mac can start it up and view your personal data and files.
So what is the be problem typing in a password when the system starts? You will still need to type it in when you are installing software or making system changes.
Good Luck & Best Wishes.

User cannot change expired password at logon

Hi
I've got 4 Fujitsu laptop with Windows 7 business SP1 x64 (Fujitsu setup). When the domain password expired, users cannot change their password at logon. Also, they can change password in their opened session before it expire (CTRL+ALT+DEL ==>
change password).
The change password at logon windows is buggy : It only display one field to put password in, the confirmation field does not display.
When user valid is change, Windows display error "wrong username or password ". Only way to unlock this situation is to reset user password in ADUC and never let expire.
I seen no sofware or driver wich could interfe.
Domain controler (only one) is Windows server 2012 standard.
Has somebody ever seen this type of problem ?

Hi,
Can you post a screenshot for this situation?
Sometimes, the third party credential provider would lead to some issue like this, I suggest you check the
current credential provider via the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\x\LastLoggedOnProvider
You should compare the result with the values in the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\credential providers
If the current value is third party credential provider, try to disable it:
To disable the provider add a REG_DWORD value "Disabled"=1 to that provider’s CLSID subkey.
The provider will be disabled on the next session creation (sessions are created when you log off, switch users, or reboot.

I just downloaded IOS 8.5.3 on my iPad3. Now I cannot open it. Whenever I touch the screen Siri tells me what I am doing, but nothing works: I cannot enter my password and I cannot slide to open. I am frozen out from my iPad

I just downloaded IOS 8.5.3 on my iPad3. Now I cannot open it. Whenever I touch the screen Siri tells me what I am doing, but nothing works: I cannot enter my password and I cannot slide to open. I am frozen out from my iPad

you are right about the IOS number. I couldn't access my iPad so I guessed and guessed wrong about the number. It was the latest upgrade offered by Apple for my iPad, which I dowloaded and installed. I have done some sleuthing and discovered that some of the problems are the result of the Accessibility - Voiceover being activated. Once I figured that out, I was able to navigate somewhat better, though I now cannot turn Voiceover off. I slide the button and it just revert to On. The other problem I have now discovered that the iPad only rarely will accept my password. This is a password that I know and love and use many times during the day (as all of us iPhone and iPad users do) Now it seems to reject my password 80+% of the time. I would disable password protection if I could. I think I am going to have to talk to Apple directly but wonder if anyone else has had this kind of trouble with the newest IOS. It worked fine on my iPhone.
I will try triple tapping the home button if I can ever get it opened again.

Outlook 2010 cannot use Secure Password Authentication

I am the administrator of the server running Microsoft Windows 2003 Server POP3 service since 2008. It hosts my email account. Nobody but me manages the settings of the server and the client side. Until the moment I decided to install Microsoft Outlook
2010 as a client there was Secure Password Authentication working between Outlook 2003 and Windows 2003 Server. After installing of Outlook 2010, when I try to sync, the SPA authentication doesn't work. Nothing is changed on the server side.
Enabling the SPA authentication on the both sides results a communicaton problem between Microsoft Windows 2003 Server POP3 service and Microsoft Outlook 2010 client. When I disable SPA on both sides the connection works but password is sent
as plain text. Actually I started a discussion on
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/outlook-2010-cannot-use-secure-password/66dafd66-1b00-43b5-96fb-b8a26254fc77 but I didn't receive an answer with a solution.

Snefels,
This is actually a known issue that Outlook 2010 doesn't work well with Windows Server 2003 POP services.
Here is the blog post for the issue:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jjameson/archive/2010/04/26/outlook-2010-does-not-work-with-windows-server-2003-pop3-service.aspx
If you read the comments below, you'll found that some readers' shared some workaround/solutions, which reportedly works for others. So you might want to have a look.
Disable SPA on the Windows 2003 POP3 server and do the same in Outlook 2010 POP setup.. using the full email address, "[email protected]" instead of just doug (if using the Secure Password Authentication).

You have lost me as firefox user. I do not want private browsing and cannot disable it so I am out of here and back to IE!

I am opposed to having private browsing as a feature that I cannot disable. In IE I can and have disabled that feature so it is not an option, but with both FireFox and Chrome I am not able to disable. So you have lost me as a client and anyone I talk with will receive my views on this.

*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
*Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
*Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.
*Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 on my iMac 24 inch and now my Suddenlink POP email account won't accept messages. The message says unable to receive Mail and the warning says: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove th

Yesterday I uploaded Yosemite 10.10.2 thinking it was fixed by now. In Mail, my POP account gets this error message: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
My provider says it's an Apple issue. The gmail accounts are logging in fine. Any help? Something simple?
Thanks anyone.

Thanks Csound1. That did work and Mail was able to connect to the internet. Green light status. Is it because of my provider that I may never have had secure connections? Is that an Apple thing or do PCs have the same issues? Appreciate your help. I'll research insecure connections as I am ignorant of the consequences.

Loaded Yosemite onto mid 2011 MacBook Air. IMAP account goes offline - message - Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. Allow insecure authentication doesn't work. Repeated reloads. No joy. Help!

Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.

I have the same problem.
Late 2012 imac 27", intel i7 core
When I upgraded to Yosemite, suddenly my email account (netvigator POP) gives an error:
Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
I have shut down & restarted mail, but no success. If I select Allow insecure authentication, it works, but that's not a long term fix.
I also have a hotmail POP account enabled, and that is working fine.
What's happening Apple??

I cannot get my password reset on apple itunes to start using my iphone. Tried website to reset password and asked to send email/same as user. Never getting email. Tried with my birthdate but that is not accepting. Called apple 8002752273 and guy told me Apple has had problems with this for weeks. Nothing he could do for me - i could answer all his security questions but birthdate. He said send a letter to itunes help , he could not provide. Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me? I checked itunes an of course there was not itunes email help available. Anyone have email for customer relations or phone# or know how to fix this?

"Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me?"
Where did you get that nonsense? Your involved question sounds like a hoax. Regardless, the phone number for Apple Customer Relations is: 800-767-2775.
