Keychain has changed its own password?

Firstly I installed some Canon drivers today and at that point my account's password was accepted and OK. Also did tried to do some 'mount -t smbfs ... ' with Terminal.
Later today iTunes wanted to upgrade iPod software and *suddenly my password was not accepted!*
Rebooted the machine but even the login failed. Then I used the '10.5 install DVD' to boot to *reset the password to the same as it has always been*. Thereafter the login was OK but now there is no way to get Keychain to accept the same password.
Any ideas what is the password that keychain wants now?
BRG, Petri

It is a lower case upper case issue at the keychain, but the inital admin password issue looks very much as bug at 10.5.1

My WD Passport for mac won't recognise its own password or show up on the desktop

I have a Macbook Pro and have been using the Passport for 3 months without a problem. The cable was pulled out without ejecting the Passport the correct way. Now it doesn't show up on the desktop and a colourless window pops up and asks for the password. Im 100% sure the password is correct. The window thinks about it for about 20sec then shakes to not accept it.
I have tried to repair the Passport and that has not worked. Does anyone have another solutations to access the HD?
The passport still works, the light comes on and still spins.
It seems as if it has forgotten its own password and not recognised by the computer.

Allan,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes the WD Passport for Mac has its own password to access the drive. It is an option that i stupidly activated once it was installed. Previously as i plugged the Passport in it would pop up on my desktop and ask for the password. Which it would accept and then i could access the data. Now nothing comes up on my desktop but still asks for the password but does not accept it. The colour of the window for the password has also changed. It now looks like the "security and privacy" icon that you can find in your systems preferences.
It seems as if it has forgotten its own password or there is some other security or problem blocking me.
I obviously wasn't aware that this product had so many problems. I have not installed the Mavericks program to this computer yet as it takes time and im on the road without and solid internet connections.
I will persist with searching forums and trying to recover the data
Any information or help would be awesome!!!!

User is not able to change his own password... Only DBA can change users password ??

Hi,
I have this problem today.I am using Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 2.8
A Oracle user say " SCOTT" trying to change his password but could not.. he gets the followling message
SQL> alter user scott identified by abc123;
alter user scott identified by abc123
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28003: password verification for the specified password failed
Scott's profile has password_verfiy function. Hence i thought abc123 password was not matching with the password verify condition. Surprisingly, what ever password SCOTT tries with, he could get the same error message and could not change his password.. Ultimatly SCOTT could never change his password. How is it possible ??
It is noteworthy to mention that if i give DBA role to SOCTT then he can change his password with abc123 or any thing that satisfies with password verification function.
Now Only a user who has DBA role or a DBA could change passwords..
Can somebody through some light on it and explain what corrective action to be taken so that Users can change their password without DBA's interreption.
Thanks in advance

Srini

This is the description of the error message:
=============================================================================
ORA-28003 password verification for the specified password failed
Cause: The new password did not meet the necessary complexity specifications
and the PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION failed.
Action: Enter a different password. Contact the database administrator to find
out the rules for choosing the new password.
=============================================================================
it clearly says that password has to match the complexity specifications. You will not be able
to change password without meeting the complexity requirements.
DBA's can make the change to the password because if DBA's can not change the password, it could lock
you out of the database (all users including the DBA's) and you will not be able to access the
database.
Try removing the password verify function and see if you can then change the password succssfully.
</PRE>
hi Prakash,
The verify password function is standard oracle function and I do not think the current problem is any way related to the rules that were framed in verify password function. The key point here is a user could not change his own password. But a DBA or a user who has ALTER USER system privs.. can do so..

Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password?

All you guru's out there, I need your help. Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password? Is there a function or procedure I can create or what?

In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.
Cheers, APC

How to enable a user to change his own password at EP7?

I want to give the EP7 users the ability to change their own password at EP.
Can we do that thru any role assignment or some development is needed?
Any detailed help would be appreciated .
I'll give points. Thanks!

Hi Jones,
It is possible to change their password in EP 7 with eu_role(Everyone Role). After you are login in the portal, just go to your personalize and select the User profile in the personlize. In that user porfile having number of tabs, you should select the General Information and click the Modify button, after you getting the edit mode with the changing the password option. It ask old and new password, after you give the password and save it.Once you change the password, just you have to log off and Re - Login with new password. Its working fine.
I hope this is helps to you.

How to find out who has changed the SYSADMIN password?

Hi,
Is there a way to trace who has changed the SYSADMIN password in an instance?
Regards,
Neeraj

of course, this is limited to any updates to the
user, e.g. added responsibility, etc. So, it
probably is very limited in value.That's why it is recommended to enable AuditTrail, which is a way of keeping track of changes made to important data in Oracle Application tables. AuditTrail keeps a history of the following three questions:
1. What changed
2. Who changed it
3. When did the change take place

Users changing their own passwords

we have set up an Open Directory and are going through the steps to deploy. One issue we have yet to find an elegant solution to is user's passwords and changing them on a regular basis. Many of the contracts we deal with stipulate user passwords are to be changed every 45 days.
Now - there is no way we want our users monkeying around in Workgroup Manger changing their own passwords - and the last thing we on the IT team want to do is perform data entry tasks every couple of months to change everyone's password. Plus - for security reasons - this is a terrible idea.
so - is there an easy way to have a user update their password without going through Workgroup Manager?
thanks

And you can set the password lifetime and reset and character-content policies in Server Admin > Open Directory > Policies > Passwords, if you've not already found that set of knobs.
I'd also suggest looking to two-factor or certificate-based approaches, if you're having requirements around password resets.

User's changing their own password

Is it possible to allow user to change their own password when logged onto a portal applicastion I have written ?

Presumably, the application you say you have written, is a Login Server partner application. So changing the user's password means changing it on the login server.
The URL that you need to go to, to do this, is something like: http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_user_mgr.change_password?p_done_url=xxxxx
Where xxxxx is the URL where you want control to go after the user submits their new password.

I've found that middlemouse.contentLoadURL feature has changed its behavior in FF5.0 as compared with previous versions

I've found that middlemouse.contentLoadURL feature has changed its behavior in FF5.0 as compared with previous versions: I now can paste&load only full urls that start with "http://" prefix, but previously it was possible to paste&load any url even without protocol prefix. It is very useful when someone has an url for example just "support.mozilla.com", but with FF5.0 one _has_ to paste it to urlbar instead of just middle-clicking into the browser window (long standing and usual *nix behavior). How can I make middlemouse.contentLoadURL load any clipboard content not prefixed with protocol specification?

Oops, already found a solution: https://support.mozilla.com/ru/questions/824759
But, how could it be done via something less freaky (ala about:config)?

Give apple feedback regarding this.
For a temporary fix, change your region? Get a 3rd party Calendar app that fits your needs?
I assume your current region is set in the photo?
If so, pick a region that has a start day of Sunday. (either historically or known for the present)
Note, with changing your region, it will change the default phone number prefix/country code for new contacts and addresses. (calling and SMS is not affected)

Command #user can change there own password (inside script..without passwd)

HI,
I have prepared one script, from which user can change there own password across all the nodes he wants.But problem is script is not working because the following command is not working
echo -e "$oldPassword\n$newPassword" | passwd
i have tried to run it manually but it is showing the folowing error....
[testuser@xxxxxx01 ~]$ echo -e test\ntest123|passwd
Changing password for user testuser.
Changing password for testuser
(current) UNIX password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[testuser@xxxxxxx01 ~]$
any idea how to resolve this , or is there any other command where user can change their own password (inside a script).
Regards,
Ani

When you change the password and are not root user, the passwd utility will ask for the current (old) password. You have specified a wrong old password, plus the utility will ask for confirmation of the new password.
<pre>
$ passwd
Changing password for user dude.
Changing password for dude.
(current) UNIX password: asdfasdf
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
$ passwd
Changing password for user dude.
Changing password for dude.

New password: How_will_1_ever_remember
Retype new password: How_will_1_ever_remember
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
$ old_pwd='How_will_1_ever_remember'

How to insert data into a table only when data has changed its value (when compared to the previous inserted value)

I wish to insert data into a table only when the value of the inserted data has changed. Thus, in a time series, if the value of the data at time, t-1, is 206 then if the data to be inserted at time t is 206, then it is skipped (not entered).
If the value of the data at time t+1 is 206, it is skipped also; until the value changes, so if the value at t+1 was 205, then that would be inserted, and if at time t+2 the data is 206, it would be inserted too.
What is the best way to do it without increasing overheads?

This view works:
SELECT
i.IDNO,i.[Date],i.[Level]
FROM
mytable i
INNER
JOIN mytable
d
ON
d.IDNO
= i.IDNO-1
WHERE
i.[Level]
<> d.[Level]
on this mytable below. A trigger could be quite useful here although I am cautious using them. However I wish to avoid the overhead by not having a temp table (which could be sizable). mytable below
should give 3 lines. The IDNO is an identity column.
IDNO
