Lion hangs on password page

I am using Lion 10.7.4 on a Mac Book Pro.  I experiance an issue every few days where the computer will boot up to the page were I need to enter my password but I am unable to.  Mouse will work but I can not click in the password box or enter a password by typing.  I just get the spinning rainbow wheel and I finally have to force a shut down. 
I have fixed permissions several times and seems to help for a little while but then it will hang again.  This is very intermitent so what should I be looking for or where should I be looking for the cause of this hang?
Thanks.

  • Keeps rebooting to "reset password" page

    When I start the Mini it boots up and goes straight to the "reset password" page.  It does not go to the page where I can enter a password to begin with.  What is going on?  Thanks for any help.

  • I use master password & if I change passwords on a site, it doesn't ask to "change" Also doesn't ask to "remember" with new usernames/passwords. Does anyone know how to fix this or add usernames & passwords to saved password page on Firefox.

    Firefox (I think version 5, maybe 4) does not ask to "remember" passwords anymore nor does it ask to "change" a password when I've done that. It didn't ask when I changed my Facebook password & I have to log in each time so I removed my username & password for FB on Firefox's "saved password" page. When I've don't that before, it asks to "remember" but doesn't anymore. I use a master password.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • HT4798 i created my apple id account, verified but know i m unable to log on, it says incorrect password, i tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to my e- mail address, how can i get this sorted or delete my pr

    User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • How do I change the appearance of password page on Yosemite? Not my desktop or screen saver but when I wake my computer up and put in my password. The Yosemite colors and images are awful! Thank you.

    Appearance of Yosemite password page - how to change it from the automatic one?
    I can't remember what previous operating systems showed at this point but I do not remember being disturbed by it every time I woke my computer up as I am now!
    It's not my desktop or screensaver but when I wake up my computer and am asked for my password.
    Thanks.

    This is Fiona who asked the question. It's now been pointed out to me that the image is actually my desktop photo blurred. From close up I just saw contorted colors and blurred lines and hadn't linked it to my desktop photo!
    Still would like to know the answer because I hate it. Any ideas anyone?

  • How do you set up the update password page in ADFS 3.0

    Hello,
    We have recently migrated to ADFS 3.0.  Everything is working except the update password feature.  In the KB article
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn280950.aspx  the section under Update Password says that I need to enable  the ADFS endpoint -
    /adfs/portal/updatepassword/ and restart the ADFS service.
    This has been done, but when I go to
    https://sts.domain.com/adfs/portal/updatepassword.  All I get is a page that says "An error occurred.  contact your administrator."
    What I am trying to accomplish is this. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn280950.aspx
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Cheston

    it does not work domain joined machines! yes, I know. you are not the first one trying. it should also support domain joined machines, but unfortunately it only supports
    workplace joined machines
    <QUOTE>
    The update password page is only available for Workplace Joined devices
    </QUOTE>
    on the domain joined machine you can just use ctrl+alt+del to change the password

  • How do you create hanging indents in Pages?

    How do you create hanging indents in Pages?

    Look at the left hand margin indicator -
    Compare it to the right-hand one. You'll note that it is actually two stops, instead of just one - a small bar on top of a triangle.
    Split them by careful dragging, and you can get what you want -
    You may need to do a bit of fiddling until you get it just the way you want it.

    thanksHello,
    Welcome to Forum!
    That's a too big question for anyone to explain in forum unless they have any link to documentation or blog entry or some books.
    Have you already tried something for this? If so, please post the code here..
    Algorithm for this would be..
    <li> Compare username and email with values from DB, go to next step if they are correct, otherwise return error message
    <li> Generate random password using combination of username and/or some random strings. You may use DBMS_RANDOM.STRING to generate this password
    <li> Update your table with new password. If you store password as hash value (the way it should be stored), then hash password before updating it to table
    <li> Send e-mail to use using APEX_MAIL.SEND

  • Unable to view "Change password" page in other lang than English

    Hello,
    We have a stange problem:
    Installed APEX 3.0.1 over 10.2.0.3 Database, no errors.
    Applied Spanish and French translations (load_es and load_fr), no errors.
    Create a new Workspace.
    Create a single application (blank page).
    Create a new user (no developer, no admin) and checked "Require Change of password on first use"
    Default language in Browser English, try to login into single app with the new user and redirected to change password correctly.
    If the Default language in browser is Spanish or French, trying to log into single app next error appears:
    Error: El elemento "P50_USER_NAME" no aparece porque la pantalla HTML todavía no estaba abierta.
    Same error for elements "P50_ENTER_CURRENT_PASSWORD", "P50_PASSWORD" ,"P50_CONFIRM_PASSWORD" and "P50_SESSION".
    A simple error translation into English will be something like that:
    Error.The element (or item) "P50_USER_NAME" does not appear because the HTML screen were not open yet.
    If I try to enter with and admin user into /pls/apex app in Spanish...work fine!!!
    Any ideas....to desperate with this error. I tried to translate the application.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Scott,
    Are you saying that when you run your application using an end-user account whose password must be changed, but that user is also an admin, that the change password page works fine?
    No, the application fails using end-user and admin user.
    When I said /pls/apex I was talking about the page that has "Application Builder", "SQL Workshop"...etc in this page it works fine.
    Any ideas???
    Regards.

  • OAAM: Combining the Username and Password page?

    Hi,
    I am currently working on OAAM 11g. Is it possible to combine Username page and password page?
    As of now first we enter the username, OAAM fingerprints the device and then displays the password page.
    Also Is it possible to have only a text field for password rather than having a textpad/pinpad or anything?
    Thanks,
    Pradeep

    Hi Pradeep,
    Were you able to find a solution for this? I am trying to implement a similar login page and any information you provide will be very helpful.

  • Printing Problem Pages- When printing, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing.

    Hi there, I wonder if you can help me,
    When printing, on Pages 09, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing. ScreenShots are below.
    Thanks for your help, in advance.
    Then......(after it has frozen, for about 2mins).....
    Cheers!

    Do you have the same problem with printing from other apps, such as TextEdit? Have you looked at your printer's control panel to see if an error condition is displayed there, and if so, what is it?

  • Forgot my apple ID , and need a hint on my associated email so i can sent a reset password , and the worst thing in apple ID forgot password page that if you typed any apple id even if its wrong it gives you that email has been sent !! how come !

    forgot my apple ID , and need a hint on my associated email so i can sent a reset password , and the worst thing in apple ID forgot password page that if you typed any apple id even if its wrong it gives you that email has been sent !! how come !!
    so please if anyone got any idea of how to get the hint on the mail ( i used to remember there is a hint )

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • Help needed - about change password page

    I had created a change password page and successfully connected to the access database via jdbc-odbc bridge. But, there are still some errors with the coding.
    The situation is like that: whether the NewPassword==ConfirmPassword or NewPassword!=CofirmPassword or both blank, there will always pop up a message dialog "The confirm password and new password must be same."(which I wrote in JOptionPane) and will not update the database that i had linked. I try to correct it but fail.
    Can somebody help me to correct the code below?
    Thank you!
