Logging In Without a Password

Is it possible to make it so that you can login to the computer without a password? I have 2 accounts on my machine and want to be able to login by just clicking the picture like in windows and not have to provide my password every time.

This didn't work...I tried it on my computer, but if I log out it takes me to the home screen with all the users. If I want to log in again, I have to enter the password. I don't want to enter the password every time I log in. Ideas??
If your account is a non-admin account, just set the password to blank.
If it is an admin account, Make a second admin account with a password, then change your original account to non-admin, and set the password to blank. You then won't need any password to ever log in to your non-admin account, but will still need to enter the admin password to do any admin task.
DON'T have an admin account without a password. That is a very serious security risk.

Suddenly logs on without a password keyed in

Suddenly iChat 4.0.5 now signs in without entering my password. I do NOT want it to sign on without actually entering a password.
I go to prefs and see that the password is entered. If I remove it, then quit, re-start, the password is back again. The box to log on as soon as iChat starts is unchecked. I choose my sign-on option and instead of a password dialog box, it just signs in.
I have used Time Machine to replace the four pref files from the previous day when it worked properly. I also replaced iChat from the same day. No Change.
There are no files in user/library/application support only in user/library/preferences.
Is there some file that I have missed replacing?

GO to Applications/Utilities and KeyChain Access and remove the Password from your Screen name that shows there.
You will need to check the Show Password Box first and use the Pop up Dialogue box and you Admin Password to Allow Once to get it to display.
Then remove it in iChat.
Then Quit iChat and check it is not back in the KeyChain.
Now when iChat starts up the Password field should be empty.
Each time it asks you for the password make sure the "Save Password" option is Unchecked.

Face recognition to log in WITHOUT typed password option?

I'm wondering if there's a way to completely disable type-written passwords for accounts in Windows 7. I want to have everyone who uses the machine log in solely through facial recognition, and not even have the OPTION of ever physically typing a password, like hiding accounts on the login screen or something. Is this possible? Thanks!

Hello.
>>>'m wondering if there's a way to completely disable type-written passwords for accounts in Windows 7.
I think so but I have not tried it as I am the only user on this Toshiba. Get the others to sit in front of the screen and do the "Face Recognition" skit. Then save the results named after the subject.
Then set up the Face mode to start first, I forget where this is but I defeated mine at one time. It ought to be easy to find. I defeated mine as the light has to be proper for a face to be recognized, I move around too much and at times, I am in a low-light room and the software does not recognize me.
I can not lead you now as I am not on the Toshiba. Be good. Jean.

Obiee 11.1.1.6 logging in without password

We have upgraded from obiee 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6. Its a linux machine.
Issue is when any user tries to log in to anlaytics, it allows user to log in without password.
For example suppose user id is
asingh and username for that user is Ajay Singh, then it allows the user to log in without entering password and it gives username after "signed in as"...
How is this authentication possible!
What log can I check for this?
And the user is able to access reports...
The process I followed was upgrade and then import security settings files from another server thats still on .5.
Please help!

Clicking on user photo does not log in or display password window

I have a 1-week old MacBook Air w Lion OS which was set up at the Apple Store so I could log on without a password. Doing so brought me immediately to my Desktop. After installing MS Office via download, at the next boot up I got a grey screen with options to log on as me (my photo) or guest. I was able to log on by using my Apple password but then Keychain started asking for a password for every app. I was able to blow by those prompts by sometimes entering a password and sometimes just pressing Enter. Tried to change settings back so I would not need password. Can't remember what I changed but now when I click on my user photo at the logon screen nothing happens. Tried booting to Recovery and ran Repair Disk Permissions. No luck. I am new to Apple and don't know what to try next. Can you help me?

Apple support is wonderful! The fix took a while but I was able to boot up with Shift key and make changes as directed that restored my auto logon. Downloading Lion update now which is supposed to fix the Keychain problem. If anyone else has this problem - here is the Case # for reference -

How can I change the iCloud setting to my email address. I can't log out of the previous owners email I'd without his password

I have my sons old iPhone. iCloud is still under his email address. I can't close it and re start without his password. If I put his password in I am worried it will delete all his backup. Any suggestions?

Not completely clear on what you are trying to do, but I will take a shot.
1. If you do not want to continue using your son's account on the old phone, factory reset it and set it up with your Apple ID. It will be like you have a new phone.
1. To prevent a problem with your son's backup, connect the newly-reset phone to the computer and cancel the sync immediately. Rename the old iPhone immediately and you will not have to worry about messing up your son's backup.
I hope this helps.

My tech person on campus wants to know the apple number of the apple tv so he can directly hook the internet into the apple tv without a password. I can't seem to find anything but the serial number on the box or on the tv? Does anyone know where it is?

I bought apple tv thinkng it would save me from my college life of not being able to have cable but it has cost more of a problem Be
ause my campus is so large we have passwords to log into our network. When I called the tech people they siad if i had the apple number they would be able to connect it to the network without a password. I tought this was the source of my problem because i can not connect to the server because it is not loging in to my apple id and password that is my itunes account. I have checked it multiple times and thats not the problem. The other problem is I can not find the apple number the tech was describing to connect it to the network. Does anyone know the answers to my problems? Im a college student in dire need of tv!

Hi,
I imagine he means "encrypted wireless.
I'm a little confused about what the IT guy wants. If your campus has a wireless network and others with laptops etc can connect to it them you should also be able to with the Apple TV. It seems to me that the campus IT guy needs to give you the name of the wireless network (SSID) and a password so you can connect.
Then go to Apple TV General/Network/Configure Wi-fi and follow instructions. The IT person should tell you what encryption they use WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc. Probably WPA2. You'll need this infor to connect.
Then go to
Apple TV General/Network/Configure TCP/IP and you will probably tell it to use DHCP and it should connect you to the campus network.
After that you can sign into the iTunes store etc.
Or am I missing something here?
Pat.

Login/keychain bug: Login as admin without a password.

I just stumbled upon this bug. I have two user accounts on my iMac (OS 10.6.1) one password protected admin account and one user account without a password. If I go to the login window and click on the user account and immediately follow up with clicking on my admin account, then it will log me in as my admin account without asking for a password. If the admin account is not logged in a box will appear and ask my if I want to update my keychain or continue to login.
I guess this wont be a problem if you just use a password on all your account.

Nope. How was it changed? Your only option, IMHO, is to boot with your install disk and reset it. Once it's reset, login to and change it back.

How can I access user accounts on Macbook running 10.4 without resetting passwords

Is it possible to access the desktop without resetting passwords?

Not if if you don't have auto log-in turned on.
Resetting or changing a password:
For Snow Leopard or earlier: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Sapjsf locks ABAP service user psswd: M ***LOG US1= Login, Wrong Password

I have a PI system and a number of ABAP systems connecting to this.
I have defined a service user in PI for each ABAP system - SY_SID_999 (where SID is the SAP System ID and 999 is the client). Various connections (e.g., RFC, ABAP proxy) use these userid and I rely on the user name to identify the source of the activity within PI.
I was forced to change the password of one of these userids and, subsequently, to update connection details in RFCs etc within the source system. All went well for these connections.
Now, however, at 25 minutes past the hour, I get the following error in the PI system's developer trace
M ***LOG US1=> Login, Wrong Password (SY_SID_999 ) [sign.c       4545]
and the SM21 log says
10:25:47 DIA 000 100 SAPJSF                  US 1 User SY_SID_999 locked due to incorrect logon
SU01 change records show no changes to SY_SID_999 from the time I unlock it until 25 minutes past the hour when this error occurs.
The SM19 security audit log in the PI system has errors:
12.08.2009     10:08:18     SAPJSF     localhost          SAPMSSY1     Logon Failed (Reason = 53, Type = U)
Type=U means "user switch (internal call)" according to the documentation.
Reason 53 means "Too many failed password logon attempts"
These errors occur in bunches but without a consistent repetition interval. For example, there were 8 at 10:04:56/57 then 2 at 10:08:18 then a string of success messages as follows:
12.08.2009     10:08:18     SAPJSF     localhost          SAPMSSY1     Logon Successful (Type=U)
Then, at 10:25...
12.08.2009     10:25:47     SAPJSF     localhost          SAPMSSY1     User SY_SID_999 Locked in Client 100 After Erroneous Password Checks
12.08.2009     10:25:47     SAPJSF     localhost          SAPMSSY1     Logon Failed (Reason = 1, Type = U)
If I do not unlock the SY_SID_999 userid in the PI ABAP system, there will be no further errors in SM21 but if I do, at 25 minutes past the hour after the error pattern will repeat.
I have set the rfc/logon_error_log parameter to 3 in PI ABAP to trigger a short dump.
Internal notes from the short dump do not identify the who, what or where of the sign-on attempt...
Internal notes
    The termination was triggered in function "ab_xsignon"

    (Note: In releases < 4.0, no information on the caller is available)
The source system represented by the SY_SID_999 userid is an ABAP ONLY stack so has no sapjsf userid. (For the record, SY_SID_999 doesn't exist in client 999 of SID either - it's defined in the PI system to do work on behalf of SID client 999.)
So the question, after all that, is:
How do I identify the source of this password error?

Thanks Michael
I did get a short dump during the testing process and it indicates that the failed RFC logon attempt originates from within the PI system. My implementation partner was rather careless in the assignment of userids to connections so, while this userid should only be used for connections originating from the SID, I cannot guarantee that.
I've been into both my PI system and the ABAP system (which doesn't have a sapjsf userid so should not be the offending party) and run an SQL select script to find all RFC destinations which contain the string "SID" or "sid" in any of the RFCOPTIONx fields. I've carefully checked out each of these RFC destinations and, in SID they contain the SY_SID_999 userid and, when that's unlocked in PI, the connection and authorisation tests succeed. That rules out upper/lower case issues and pretty much eliminates these legitimate RFC destinations from the suspect list. The RFC destinations identified in the PI system by the SQL search contain "SID" because they name that as their target system; these definitions don't reference the SY_SID_999 userid at all.
All the evidence I can find points very strongly to some process running as SAPJSF in the Java stack of the PI (dual stack) system calling something on the ABAP side and trying to connect as SY_SID_999. Trouble is I can't find it. In fact, I'm don't even know where to start looking to find a job running in the Java stack - on the ABAP side I'd head for SM37 but what to use on the Java side?

Change the iPhone account without current password

Hi,
Recently, I've upgraded an iPhone to iPhone-6 for my mom, and all of apps and data were backed up and restored with iTunes. But unfortunately, as she can't remember her password for her account, nothings can be activated. After all of my tries, I gave up retrieving her password. So I create a new apple account. But unfortunately again, I couldn't log-out from current account because I don't know the old password. Really really frustrated!!!
Here is the question, how can I switch iPhone account by without current password?

You can't. If you are being prevented from logging out, that means Find my iPhone is on, and as an anti-theft mechanism, no one can sign out without the password. You'd be better off trying to retrieve the old ID. Call Apple: 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team.

I cant delete my icloud account without a password

I cant delete my icloud account without a password. What can I do? As apple will not allow me to change my current apple id to my old icloud account

Thanks.
But I cannot even log out of my icloud account due to it asking for a password, which I cannot remember and my iphone 4 needs backing up. I chose the icloud backup option and as I cannot log into icloud I cannot back up my iphone

Signing out of icloud without a password?

i Have an iphone that my screen has broke and wont detect some letters while typing and i need to log off of my icloud account but i cant cause i need to type my password. How can i sign out without a password And reset the whole other phone?

Is Wi-Fi still active? If yes, plug it into power and wait for iCloud to back it up, if you did not back up your device lately.
If you are backing up to iTunes, connect your device and back up manually.
You can set several devices using one Apple ID for all of them. And each device will have it's own backup. To see which backup belongs to the device you're trying to restore, give your new device a different name.

RFC client connect without giving password

Hi,
I wrote a JCo client, get connected to SAP and called an rfc enabled function.
This is all working fine, but I have to give user and password in the JCO.createClient method.
Is there any possibility to avoid giving password and user?
Is it possible to use first something like an R/3 connection (created via SM59) and then call the rfc function?
I tried JCO.createClient with a param_list with parameter "alias_user" or "saplogon_id", but it didn't work.
Do you have any hints to solve this issue?
Thank you in advance!

Hallo Oli,
what I normally do is create a little text file and save it as conn.properties containing the login information. Then I just read the conn.properties for the connection information in my Java program like the IP, username, password, etc.
This way you don't need to change your complete program for just the simple login data. Logging in without the username and password is not possible as far as I know, with the properties file you can have multiple users who can change their login information and run the program.
Hope that helps,
Sameer
