Invalid Password with Leopard ichat
I installed leopard last night. It will not let me or any other AIM user log onto ichat. It says that the password is invalid. I have tried deleting the password from keychain, and re-entering it, but this did not work. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Did you try quitting iChat AV, trashing the com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and com.apple.iChat.plist, empty the Trash, restarting and then reset the iChat preferences and accounts? or apply the Keychain update? or run Keychain First Aid?

'Invalid password' with newgrp
I created a new group "test" and assigned a password to it:
groupadd test
gpasswd test
Then changed to user account and ran newgrp-command:
newgrp test
Password:
Invalid password.
grep test /etc/group:

Receive invalid password with new iTunes giftcards
Receipt from store says activation was successfully on purchase of 4 $15 cards in one multipack. Cannot redeem on new ipad3, new iPod touch or on pc iTunes. How can I redeem these cards.
If you are having issues logging into ePrintCenter, go to http://www.snapfish.com/ and click on log in and then select "Forgot your Password?" and enter your email address. If it recognizes it, it will send a temporary password to your email address and a link to change it. Go ahead and change that password and go back to http://www.eprintcenter.com/ and try to log in with your email address and password. You should be able to get in now. Let me know if that works for you, if not, we can try something else.

"Invalid password" intermittent problem with MBP Snow Leopard Netgear
This is driving me mad, please help.
My MacbookPro (new, Sept '10, Snow Leopard) has intermittent connection problems with my Netgear wireless-N 300 router. Everything works fine a lot of the time. I put the computer to sleep, and next time I open it, I bite my nails to see if it will connect or not. Today, it's not. And there's no logical reason why. What's maddening is that I get an Airport "Invalid Password" error when trying to connect, when I'm using the right password and it has connected automatically before. I will sometimes have success by restarting the computer, or by restarting the computer AND the modem, or by resetting the modem. But sometimes I don't have that success, and today is one of those days.
Now, I also have an older Macbook Pro (Mar '08, Leopard) that NEVER has a problem connecting. So I know it's a Snow Leopard issue.
I have tried changing the channel in the router's wireless settings (including to Auto). I have tried deleting the keychain item for the router's wireless. I still get the "Invalid Password" error.
The irony is that the whole time, I'm updating the router via the old MBP which has no problems with ANY of the settings. That's what I'm writing this on. But I need the other computer to get online. It's getting ridiculous.
I CAN connect by connecting an Ethernet cable to the router, but that kind of defeats the purpose of going wireless.
Please help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.First log into your router and make sure it is up to the current time and maybe sync it to a Time Server. Then on your Mac open System Preferences->Network. At the top of the pane is the "Location" drop-down. Use that drop-down to make a new custom Location calling it whatever you like. Then at the bottom Network pane click on the 'Apply' button to save this new custom Location you made. Then use the Network pane to rejoin your wireless network.
Also in System preferences->Date & time and make sure it is set to your current living Location. Plus open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In this program first click on the menu item "Keychain Access" and select "Keychain First Aid". Then go to the entry for you wireless network and delete it. Then the wireless connection should ask you again to save the password, only once, hopefully.
Good Luck. -
I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
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.

iMac 2.5Ghz i5 2011 (Mavericks 10.9)

Help. I recently bought a 2008 Mac Pro from Mac of all Trades. It came with Leopard 10.5 installed. When I set initially started the computer, I followed the instructions on the screen. I was asked to set up a password which I did. Since I'm very forgetful and not too tech savy, I wrote it down as I typed it in. I first went to install Office Mac 2011 but when it asks for a password, it won't accept the one I set up. I was told that if I bought the new Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installed it, that it would reset everything. Well, it won't allow me to load it without the password. I am new to Apple - this is my first. I have always been able to "reboot" a computer with discs but I'm not sure how to do this one. Is there a way to do it without the password and reset everything? Could somone please email me
Thank You. David Moore
<Email Edited by Host>If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard. -
Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!
Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Video iChat with Leopard on iMac G4
Hi I was wondering if it would be better to get an older version of iChat for an iMac 1.25GHz G4 instead of the current version that comes with Leopard. I was looking at the system requirements w\ iChat in Leopard and it looks like the picture would be 160 by 120, which wouldn't even be worth the price of an iSight camera. Any info?
Have you asked the iChat gurus in the iChat discussion area?

"INVALID PASSWORD" trying to connect with a MacBook...help!
I've got a WRH54G wireless router...has one pc connected via ethernet and two Dell PC's connected wireless...all are working fine. I've got a new Apple MacBook, and I am not able to connect to my wireless network with security enabled. MacBook does connect via ethernet. MacBook does connect to my neighbors unsecured network. MacBook does connect to network at the local Whataburger restaurant. MacBook does recognize my network if I broadcast the SSID. When I try to join, I enter the network name, then select security (WPA Personal), then enter password, then click on JOIN. I then receive a INVALID PASSWORD message. Not sure if it matters but my password is like this Xxxxxxxx9( with X = letters. Does anyone know the trick to making the MacBook work with my security enabled Linksys network? Thanks for your help.
Here is what I ended up doing....all computers were talking as of last night: 1-Obtained the mac address for all 3 wireless computers. 2-Accessed the router, then went to the wireless tab>wireless mac filter. 3-Enabled mac address filtering, then entered the mac addresses of the three computers. 4-Selected the option to only allow these mac addresses to access the router. 5-Turn off the wireless security. 6-change the wireless security setting on each computer to none. Even with broadcast ssid disabled, all were able to detect and connect to the router. As I think I understand it....to access my router, you'd have to know the hidden (ssid broadcast disabled) network name, but since I am allowing access only to the mac addresses listed, you can't access my network....so this should be pretty secure. I'm a network novice, so if I'm wrong, please correct me (nicely).

Macbook Pro - "Invalid Password" problem with home Wifi
Hi folks,
As of 5 days ago...my MBP refuses to connect to my wifi at home. It constantly returns a "invalid password" response.
It has been connecting to this same wifi network for years, and nothing has been updated or changed on the network settings.
My iPhone and non-Mac computer can connect without trouble.
The MBP can connect to OTHER wifi networks, no problem.
As per here: Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
I deleted all existing networks and re-started, but issue remains. This wifi uses a WPA2 password.
Something must be corrupted / broken on my MBP...but I can't seem to "start from scratch" to get my wifi working again. Extremely furstrating. Liek I said, my other devices can connect wirelessly without issues.Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

"Login keychain" password - invalid password. All messed up thanks.
I think Leopard, or the most recent QT upgrade has really messed with my system:
I restart and using my login password I've used for years:
"ichat agent wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password
"Mail wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password
"PubSubAgent wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password- and I can't cancel out of that one.
System preferences wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password. Then after a minute "keychain error. There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use keychain access to verify your keychain. Error -128
Go to keychain access- Unlock my user keychain then spinning beach balls. Force quit etc
(Can't login to iDisk iTunes or anything now...)
Really unhappy now.I also have similar issues. And followed the advise below.
1. Insert the Leopard install disk, restart holding the "C" key down
2. Choose your language so you go to the first page view of install
3. You can reset passwords in the menu above
4. Select root and reset your password to what you like
5. Quit and restart
6. Choose "Other" as a login
7. Choose system preferences
8. Select users that you have registered on the computer
9. Select option that users can be administrators
10. Restart and login as the user of your choice.
I did this and was able to login using the "other" account and changed the sys admin password. Gave my user admin priviledges.
But now, I have a circular problem. I can't remove "invalid certificates" from my keychain access app.

"Invalid Password" Message from Network
My 1 year old Time Capsule has been working perfectly since I bought it. Now all of a sudden I don't get logged in automatically to my network. In addition, I can't connect to my network manually; when I try it asks for my password (that Airport Utility stored in my Keychain) and when I type it in I get a "Invalid Password" message. I have tried plugging in to the TC with an Ethernet cable & resetting/changing the password to something new, turning off the security, pressing the reset button for 1 second & 5 seconds, resetting the TC to factory settings & setting up again but to no avail. I have removed & re-added my network from my preferred lists, deleted & redone my Keychains, begged, wheedled and threatened it with a list of dire fates but all with no joy. I can see my network there, with the little lock image, but cannot get in. Airport Utility won't even see my TC unless I'm physically plugged in with an ethernet cable.
Additional info: Maybe no coincidence, but three days ago I got a 4G wireless internet modem and plugged it into the TC. Until then I'd had no internet at home and had the TC happily ignoring this. When I got the modem and plugged it in, Airport Utility asked me to change it to 'Bridge Mode' (that I've tried undoing) and then I was wirelessly online. The modem ran perfectly through the TC for the 1st couple of days and I could still print wirelessly through my attached printer. All was well in the kingdom, when all of a sudden everything went pear-shaped yesterday and no matter what I try I cannot make things whole again.
Can anyone help please????
AlecOkay, the problem's changed. I turned on my old 12" MBP and found that it was still happily chatting away with the network, printing etc. I compared the two System Profilers & found that the IPv4 had gone to PPP (Not sure what that means or how I changed it) so went back & changed it to DHCP. All of a sudden I was back to being on my network & I was able to back-up with Time Machine. Then I replugged in the 4G modem, the light went amber and when I went to Airport Utility it told me that it was reporting a problem. It said something about double NAT (???) and suggested I went into 'bridge mode', which I duly did. After the TC rebooted itself I was back on the network, so far so good...
Now, however, I can't back-up with TM. It gives me a 'backup disk not available' message. When I try to look at things in Airport Utility, it can see my TC but just hangs on 'Reading the Time Capsule configuration' before giving me a (-6753) 'Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again' message.
Is it something to do with the 'Bridge Mode' thingy? Does it mean that I can either have my wireless backup, or my internet but not both?
PS Oh, and I can't print over the network either, and when I try to print over on my old MBP it says 'Device in use, waiting...'
PPS Aaargh, and my old MBP can talk to the TC via Airport Utility. Does this mean it's a problem with my new MBP, or is it a Snow Leopard thing? -
AEBS 802.11n 5GHz gives "invalid password" - need a solution!
After an update to 7.2.1 I've been trying for the past 4 hours to get back on my 5GHz network, but no success. I hope someone can resolve this, because it's getting extremely annoying.
- 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4GHz, pass or no pass -> works
- 802.11n only 2.4GHz, pass or no pass -> works
- 802.11n 5GHz, no password -> works
- 802.11n 5GHz, WPA2 Personal pass -> invalid password
I tried everyting. First setting it to b/g compatible at 2.4GHz (when it works in Leopard), then to 5GHz -> invalid password. Added it to my preferred networks, hard reset of the AEBS, downgrade to 7.1.1 and a hard reset, new names for the networks, different passwords, deleted everything from the keychain to avoid any mixups, countless reboots...
No results. I just cannot connect to a 5GHz network, because Leopard claims the password is invalid.
I have no clue what to do next. It worked fine until I upgraded to 7.2.1, and now even when I downgraded to 7.1.1, it still won't work. And 5GHz works fine without a password. But as soon as you set a WPA2 Personal (this or WPA2 Enterprise, which I don't want), Leopard says invalid password.
I also noticed that when I setup a preferred network in Leopard, and insert a WPA2 Personal password, it changes it to simple WPA, without the 2, when I save it. Although this is strange, it shouldn't matter. Because when I setup a 802.11n 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz network with a WPA2 Personal password, it works great with my WPA(no 2)-preferred-network settings.
I'm completely lost here. Who can help me out?
(Just a tip: do not, I repeat, do not ! update to 7.2.1).Hi guys. "Good" to know we're not the only ones. I reported it also, let's hope an update follows soon.
I still don't know where the problem lies exactly. Mainly because it did work for me in Leopard, after I did a completely clean install last friday. It just picked up the network and it worked. I tried 7.0, 7.1, 7.1.1 and 7.2.1 about 5 times each now. All along with complete hard resets, powerdowns and all the possible settings I could think of, nothing works. First I'd say it's probably the AE firmware, but since nothing works anymore, I'm leaning towards Leopard now...
Maybe the password isn't being sent correctly to the AE, or the respons of the AE doesn't get received properly. There already was a Keychain update right after the release, maybe there are still more updates in that area, and they'll be included with the next big update.
If anyone finds a way to fix it, let us know! I'll keep trying, although I don't think it'll do much good
