Lion Server Won't Accept Password After New Motherboard Installed

We got a mac mini with Lion Server installed on it. The motherboard went bad so we took it back, and they put in the new motherboard. We couldn't log into the computer after that for some reason so we reinstalled it using the Time Machine backup we had (running from the other drive). Then we were able to log in using our admin password. Now the connecct to server won't work, even though we're trying to connect to ourselves, which should us the admin password. We deleted all the keychain passwords but to no avail.
Thoughts?

We had to reinstall the software (using cmd-r when booting up) and then reload everything. That fixed it.

Time Machine error message after new motherboard installed

Hi folks,
I just had a new motherboard installed on my MacBook Pro, and now whenever Time Machine tries to do a back-up (on the same external drive I'd used previously for Time Machine), I get an error message that says there isn't enough space.
It appears that the attempted back-up tries to back up the entire internal MacBook drive (rather than just the latest updates).
In other words, since the external drive already has the old data on it, attempts at back up fail.
Is there something I need to update? Or, do I need to delete all the data on the external (i.e. Time Machine) drive and let the system do a complete back-up?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
Vic

You could try the procedure in the article linked below, but I recommend that you first start a new TM backup on another drive. You need more than one backup anyway. I haven't tested the procedure myself and I can't promise that it won't destroy your backup set, even if you do it right.

Won't accept password after leopard install

I just upgraded my iMac OS10.2.8 to Leopard and all went well until the restart. I normally have auto login since I'm the only user but now the password login pops up and it won't accept any of the passwords I enter. Help!

Hi there. New user. My two small children were trying to access my computer and now my password does not work. All these messages started to come up including Mail wants to use the login keychain; PubSubAgent...Dotmacsyncclient... They keep popping up and my old password won't work. It also seems to be interupting my email sending as well. It asks repeadily for my email account passwords (they work though) Help! I work from home and am really nervous about these problems. Thanks so much!

IMac won't accept password after time machine restore

Restored 2009 IMac after an HD replacement by Apple. All proceeded smoothly until IMac wouldn't accept my password after the restore from Time Machine. Any ideas will be appreciated.

One thing to try, if you didn't already do this, is to reinstall OS X and use Setup Assistant (which is only available at first boot of a new HD or a reinstalled OS) to migrate your data. A full Time Machine restoration on a new HD can have file permissions problems and/or duplicate User Account problems if Setup Assistant is not used.

Lost Linksys password after new windows install

I have had my Linksys E4200 for a few years now. When I'm home my cell phone and laptop both use my wireless connection. My desktop computer had the main Cisco console which provided the passwords to both my cell and laptop.
My problem is I recently had a virus attack to my desktop from clicking on a bad email link. I couldn't remove the virus so I did a clean windows install. I can't find my Linksys router box but I found my CD disc. The disc is asking for my password which is probably somewhere in my original box (which of course I can't find now). My router has the model number and mac address but I don't know how to reinstall my console without my original password.
I never disconnected my router when I did my new windows install on my desktop, and my computer still recognizes my Linksys router. When I click on the device icon it says, "network connected", Catagory: wireless network router, Manufacturer: Cisco, Model: Internet Access Server. Is there enough information so I can recover my password and install my console again? Thanks...

Hello DuMartin,
It is asking for the password you set up for your network. If that will not work, then it would be best to reset and configure the router again.

Won't accept password after updating software

I recently purchased a McBook Air. It is set up so I don't have to enter my password
everytime I open it up. Today I got notice of a software update for Lion which I downloaded.
Since then I get asked for my password, but it isn't accepting it. It gives the hint for the
password and I know I'm entering it correctly but nothing is happening. What do I do now?

Won't accept password after equipment swap

Hello - My 1TB Time Capsule blew it's WAN port. Before taking it back to Apple I backed up the config. Apple replaced the device and I took it home and imported the config file and everything came up fine. Except, Time Machine won't work. I went through the normal setup (even though nothing changed) and selected the disk and entered my password. When it goes to do a back up though, it says my password doesn't match. I know it's right but as a just in case, I went back to the TimeCapsule and re-entered my password. Then I went back to TimeMachine and it still gives me the wrong password error. So, right now, every time it goes to backup, I get a failure note due to password.
Anyone have a tip here?

Powerbook won't accept password after OS upgrade

My G4 powerbook hard drive started going bad, so I had the local Apple store put in a new one and upgrade the OS at the same time. The store did the data recovery.
When I now try to connect to my home wireless network, the computer recognizes the access point and asks for the password. When I try to enter the password, I get an error that indicates I am not typing in the correct password. Password has NOT changed since the access point was created. The password was previously stored on the computer, but all stored passwords were lost when the data was restored to the new hard drive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If this wireless access point you are trying to connect to is yours, then I would go into the router and reset the password or change is. You can also perform a hard reset on the router so that you can connect to the network.

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

I changed my apple id and password online, but my iphone still has the old id and now it won't accept either the new or old password

I changed my apple id and password online, but my iphone still has the old id and now it won't accept either the new or old password

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.
If you are changing to a different iCloud account and need to migrate your data to this new account, when you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Then when you sign into the new account, when prompted choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

Went to eprint center to register printer, worked fine,but when we tried to give printer email address so we can email to printer from remote locations won't accept password no matter what itry
This question was solved.

MasterBinker, have you tried using the Forgot Password link in the sign in page for ePrintCenter? This should send a new password to the email address.
You may also want to try using a different web browser.

Server won't accept workout data

Hi,
I bought the Nikeplus kit about one month ago and I am unable to upload the data to the nikeplus website. I have the newest generation of iPod nano. I thought maybe iTune was the problem but I downloaded the new version this week and it didn't solve the problem. When I try to upload my workout data to nikeplus, I have an error message saying that the server won't accept the data. I tried changing my Internet browser but it didn't help. I am able to open my nikeplus account but it says that I have 0 runs uploaded. I can also see my runs in iTune but they won't upload. Does someone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix this problem?
Thanks

We had to reinstall the software (using cmd-r when booting up) and then reload everything. That fixed it.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

I had a new motherboard installed in my laptop and cannot hookup to my wireless connection. There is an unsecured network named 'linksys' which I assume is my router. So I tried the 'wizard' and everything was going smoothly until I put in the default IP address (192.168.1.1) and then it wants a subnet mask which I don't know. What am I doing wrong?

is there any wired/wireless computer going online through the router ?? let me know the router model number and the ISP deatils...
