Lost/crash password/login

Hello everyone;
I don't know what happened - I logged on today w/ the same old password – been on all day - went to keychain for another password, and found my password not working - went to reset my password, and I am sure I didn't reset it - but still can't figure out what happened - Now I am scared to death to let my puter sleep in fear that I wont be able to access it again - is there any protocols for circumventing the password and resetting it???? HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Various process crashes prevent login to main user account

Here's a good one. I can't log in to my main user account; here's the recap:
Computer was acting slow and pausing a lot over past couple of weeks; I put it down to internet slowness at first, but after awhile I began closing down less-critical processes like .mac synchronization, mySQL, etc. Can't recall running any new installs recently, or updates, except perhaps Firefox.
Checked the logs, saw that my old pal mdimport was crashing repeatedly, like every 15 seconds or so. That will slow things down! So I turned off the Spotlight indexing for all categories, and eventually made the hard disk a private item. mdimport still crashing.
Ran permissions repair; some problems fixed, nothing too alarming in the logs (I think). Verified the hard disk; no problems found.
At some point the main account became unable to log me in. The login window accepts a password and disappears, but after a little while a blue screen appears, and the login window returns. I am able to log in using a secondary more-or-less virgin account on this machine, which seems to work fine.
Console logs reveal the constantly crashing mdimport, triggered anytime I attempt to log in using the main account. Secondarily, the loginwindow process is crashing on login (main account only) and crashdump itself is consistently crashing just afterwards. Occasionally another process called lsregister will crash at the login attempt, sometimes other processes too. More worryingly, there are reported IO errors from the kernel.
I've reset the pram, I've reset the nvram. I've booted from a 10.5 system disk and re-run disk utility for permissions and repair disk. I tried safe mode.
I've attempted to rsync my main user account to another computer while booted to target disk mode; rsync (running on the remote machine to which I'm copying the files) copies the many gigabytes in my Documents folder, but chokes consistently at some files in my Library ("former iDisk.dmg", App Support/firefox/profiles/etc, also some Growl files) with "Input/output error (5)."
Anyone have any good theories? Many thanks in advance.
--David H

Thanks for your reply; I checked out the links but nothing seems too directly related. I'm vaguely aware of what mdimport does, but I certainly have seen it crash a lot.
At this point, I'm finally able to log back in to my main account, which (with some caveats/questions below) seems to be working.
To get back to this point, I used the terminal utility Applejack to clear caches, check plists for corruption, and clear virtual memory. I also manually deleted a loginwindow plist and some Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices/ files. Something in there seemed to help, and I'm finally back in to the main user account. There was definitely no getting into this account before I tried these steps.
Applejack is found at http://applejack.sourceforge.net/.
I still have some troubling log entries, and some blips in several files. While subsequently backing up my user account, rsync consistently tripped on several files in /Library/Application Support relating to Firefox and Growl, in /Library/iCal, and also a couple of image files (out of tens of thousands) in my Pictures folder. So I deleted these files; the only concern so far is the iCal file which was called "corestorage.ics." And now that I've started iCal, it looks like I still have data; but my console log shows about 70 lines of "Calendaring data empty." Ugh. Nothing like losing data but not knowing what was lost.
Also troubling in the system log: I have several entries of "kernel[0]: disk0s3: I/O error" (though not in the latest reboot cycle). Hard to tell if these belong in the same category as the many cryptic and possibly alarming messages seen there, or if this is a real warning of a failing hard disk, or of other corrupt files the system is running into. Again, disk utility has repeatedly found no problems.
(Also I have several hundred entries of "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Metada ta.framework/Versions/A/Support/mdimportserver: _TIFFVSetField: tiff data provider: Invalid tag "Copyright" (not supported by codec)", which I hope relate to mdimport seeing many jpg images that have copyright metadata. I'm hoping that problem will go away now that they're marked "private" as far as Spotlight is concerned.)
At least I'm back in the account. I'm trying to decide whether to archive & install system 10.5; I'd prefer to reformat a misbehaving disk, but then you gotta have pretty serious confidence in your backups. Alternatively if the rumors are true I'm hanging on for one of the new laptops; I'd prefer that to replacing the hard drive again in this diabolical case. (Price you pay for sleek, I guess.)
Time will tell.

Solstice DiskSuite[TM] Software: How to Delete and Reset a Lost Root Password on a System With a Mirrored Root Disk [ID 1010755.1]
Solution
Steps to Follow
How to delete and reset a lost root password on a system with a mirrored root disk.
1) Insert the Solaris[TM] Operating System CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2) Once the CD-ROM is in the drive, perform a stop-a. This brings the system down to the "ok" prompt.
3) From the "ok" prompt, perform a single-user boot from the Solaris OS CD-ROM.
ok boot cdrom -s4) At the "#" prompt, determine which disk is the system's boot disk (containing the root file system). There are several Oracle architectures and various configurations of systems when it concerns a boot disk. As a general rule, most boot disks are attached to controller 0 (c0). Usually, their SCSI target is
either 3 (t3) or 0 (t0). However, Oracle machines are very flexible, and the boot disk could be at a different location. If you are not sure which disk is your boot disk, perform the following steps to determine the location of the boot device:
a) # eeprom boot-device
The output might appear to be simple, such as "disk" or "disk1" or more complicated, such as a pathname "/iommu/sbus/espdma@4,8400000/...../sd@3,0:a".
b) Make note of the boot-device. If the boot-device is a pathname, it is beyond the scope of this information to provide the location of the customized boot disk. However, for most configurations,
finding the customized boot disk is an easy task. The "Format" command shows all available disks:
#format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
(enter its number): c) Enter d to exit format.
Now, you will have an idea what disks are on the system. Therefore, if the boot-device is "disk" and format shows "c0t0d0" (on some systems "c0t3d0") then that is the boot device. If boot-device
shows "disk1" and format shows "c0t1d0," then that is the boot device. If format shows multiple disks, then based on what the "eeprom boot-device" command shows, the system's boot disk would be:
boot-device format
disk c0t0d0 or c0t3d0 (machine dependent)
disk1 c1t0d0
disk2 c0t2d0
disk3 c0t3d0 or c0t0d0 (machine dependent)
and so on ....
5) Because the system was not brought down gracefully (no root password means having to use the Stop-a keystroke to "crash" the system), you need to run "fsck" to clean the root partition (slice). The fsckalso confirms that you selected the proper slice.
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
where the X and Y are determined by the previous procedure. It is also possible to have a root partition which is not on slice 0 (s0), but, again, that is not a standard configuration.
The output of "fsck" looks like this:
** /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
** last mounted on /
** Phase 1 .....
The second line in the output of "fsck" ("** Last mounted on /") confirms that this is the correct root filesystem partition. Answer "y" to any questions fsck asks. There shouldn't be too many items
needing repair. If there are, there is a possibility of a corrupted root filesystem. After fsck is finished, mount the root partition:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
Again, X and Y are the same as for the fsck command.
For example:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
6) From the root prompt, set the proper TERM type command (such as vt100, dtterm, sun, and so on)
by entering this command:
# TERM=sun; export TERM
7) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/shadow file:
# vi /a/etc/shadow
8) The first line of the /etc/shadow file is the one you want to modify.
It looks like this:
root:c3.yAVmYodWsc:6445::::::
9) Delete every character between the first and second colons in the first line of the file. When you finish deleting the characters, the line should look like this:
root::6445::::::
10) Press the Escape key, then enter the following to save the file and exit vi:
:wq!
11) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/system file andremove the "rootdev" line shown below:
# vi /a/etc/system
*rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk
Don't comment out the "rootdev" line. Actually remove it.
12) In the /a/etc/vfstab file, replace the lines for the system filesystem meta-devices with their underlying partitions. For example, change lines from
/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 / ufs 1 no -
to
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
ONLY change the lines for root (/) and the filesystems that were affected by the actions you took in step 1 of this procedure. All other metadevices may stay as is in this file.
13) Unmount root, check the root filesystem, and then stop the system:
# cd /
# umount /a
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
# stop-a
14) Boot to single-user mode:
ok boot -swTHIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT; YOU MUST BOOT TO SINGLE-USER MODE TO AVOID FILESYSTEM CORRUPTION.
If the system does not boot to single user mode, you might have made a mistake in the previous steps.
15) Because the root password was cleared in an earlier step, press Return when prompted for the the root password. Once you are in single-user mode, you must clear the metamirrors and all the sub-mirrors for the root filesystem. For example, if root (/) is d0, run the following command:
# metaclear -f -r d0
Running the metaclear command not only clears the metamirror but also clears the submirrors that are part of this mirror.
16) When the metamirror is cleared, continue the boot up to multiuser mode by either pressing CTRL-D or by entering the following:
# exit
Now everything should be as it was, except that the system partition is on the underlying partition and isn't mirrored. You will simply need to re-create the metadevices for the root mirror as you had originally.
many thanks

Hi,
Halt your machine.
Boot with fail-safe mode.
format and list out the disks. (You can get the root & mirror disk (c#t#d#) details from /etc/lvm/md.tab of your root or mirror disk. Earlier explorer output may help)
Mount the root disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
Mount the mirror disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
reboot the server.
Hope this helps!

How to Enhance Security of Windows and Recover Lost/Forgotten Password

You maybe always get in some troubles with your PC. Lost Windows password? Forgot Windows password? Your PC was hacked? Therefore, it is a basic step for every Windows users to enhance the security of Windows password. In the networks, it is found that a number of user’s passwords are easy to guess. Only the smallest groups are the most security conscious and select passwords that are mixed lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation to create cryptic passwords. Adopting strong password is one of the most effective ways to ensure system security. Here are several methods for you to enhance the security of your passwords in Windows 7/2000/XP/Vista and so on. You’d better remember the methods below unless you want to reset Windows password from time to time.
1. Is random password a great password?
A common myth is that totally random passwords like Ht3&e#L%5d@$B are the best passwords. This is not true. While they may be strong passwords, they are usually difficult to remember, slow to type, and sometimes vulnerable to attacks against the password generating algorithm. It is easy to create passwords that are strong but much easier to remember by using a few simple techniques. For example, consider the password “Luck-73@Better?”. This password utilizes uppercase and lowercase letters, two numbers, and three symbols. The password is 15 characters long and can be memorized with very little effort. Moreover, this password can be typed very fast. The portion“Luck” and “Better” alternate between left and right-handed keys on the keyboard, improving speed, decreasing typos, and decreasing the chances of someone being able to discover your password by watching you.
2. Create the long Windows password
Although a password may eventually be discovered through some means, it is possible to create a password that cannot be cracked in any reasonable time. If a password is long enough, it will take so long or require so much processing power to crack it. That is essentially the same as being unbreakable (at least for most hackers).
3. Create the Windows password constantly?
This may be good advice for some high-risk passwords, but it is not the best policy for every user. It is frustrating for a user to have to constantly think of and remember new passwords every 30 days. It may be better to focus on stronger passwords and better user awareness rather than limiting password age. A more realistic time for the common user may be 90-120 days.
4. Write down Windows password in a proper place
Sometimes it is necessary for some users losing and forgetting complex passwords easily to write down them somewhere proper. However, it is important to educate users on how to write down passwords properly. Obviously, a sticky note on the monitor is not a good idea, but storing passwords in a safe or even a locked cabinet may be sufficient.
5. 14 characters is the optimal password length
Each character that you add to your password increases the protection. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is the Optimal Password Length. Many systems also support use of the space bar in passwords, so you can create a phrase made of many words. It is not easier to forget and lose, as well as longer than a simple password, and harder to guess.
6. Try not to use the same Windows password for all accounts
Some users always make the same passwords for every account to make it easy to remember. In that case, when any one of them lost, your other information protected by that password will be in danger as well. It is serious to use different passwords for different systems and accounts.
7. Do not use some common words that other users maybe guess
Most of users prefer to use some common words to remember easily, for example, login name, birth date, driver's license, passport number, pets’ name and other words contained their personal information someone knows. In that case, your Windows system will not be safe anymore. Moreover, do remember not to use some words spelled backwards, abbreviations, sequences or repeated characters and adjacent letters, such as, asdfgh, 123456, 888888, abcdef and so on.
You can smoothly use your Windows now because the strong and powerful Windows password is created successfully, Certainly, I believe that many users lost Windows password and forgot Windows password, then you need have to reset Windows password or recover Windows password. It is a big problem for plenty of Windows users that how to reset Windows password. Many users probably do not know how to recover Windows password and they are puzzled by resetting windows password, for instance, reset Windows 7 password, recover password Windows XP, remove Windows Vista password and other operating systems after they create the password with complex letters, numbers and symbols. However, it is unnecessary to worry and it is said that things will eventually sort themselves out. There are many ways to reset forgotten Windows password, including use windows password reset disk and windows password reset software, like Super Windows Password Reset, a professional windows password reset software which could enable you to logon to Windows smoothly without reinstalling system. You can know more by reference to http://www.passwordreset.biz/. Such was the case with using these kinds of tools.
These are all my suggestion about methods to enhance the security of Windows password. To create password for your Windows account is not a thing you should do, but a thing you must do by following my advices. It is the important line of defense against hackers. If your Windows password is indeed attacked finally or nevertheless you lost Windows password, you can try out windows password reset tool I mentioned above. The advantage is that there is no fear of leaking your password to outsiders. Certainly, the only better method is still creating the strong password, do remember it and then change one constantly.

Lost root password on Ultra2

Lost root password on Ultra2 Sun system and do not know the procedure to recover. I do not have any other accounts to login as. I do have installation media and do not know the procedure to boot it to try and recover that way. Solaris 2.5.1

This is a procedure I wrote up to recover roots password, give it a try. Test between the brackets are the commands you enter (without brackets).
Ritchie
1) Place the solaris software disk into cdrom drive.
2) Change machine state to PROM hardware level: [ init 0 ].
You should then see an OK prompt.
3) Boot from cdrom to single user mode: [ boot cdrom -s ].
Should eventually see a # prompt.
4) Mount the disk drive as filesystem a: [ mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a ].
5) Change to the a directory: [ cd /a ].
Look for the etc directory by issuing an ls command: [ ls ].
6) Switch to the etc directory: [ cd etc ].
7) Set up the machine to be able to use the vi editor by defining the terminal type for the shell:
[ TERM=vt100;export TERM ].
8) Edit the shadow file: [ vi shadow ].
a) Delete everything between the first : and the second : , which will be the encrypted password
for root.
b) Save the file: [ :wq! ].
9) Reboot the machine: [ init 0 ].
You should be at the OK prompt again.
10) Issue command to boot machine: [ boot ].
11) When CDE environment appears login as root leaving the password field blank if prompted.
12) Establish a terminal session using "this host"
13) Issue command to change the password: [ passwd ]. Confirm new password.
Now root will have the new password the next time you login.

Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

Hi there.
I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
Hence:
I lost my password for my original iTunes account
I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
How can I access my old account?
Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
Cheers!

If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.

File Adapter - anonymous login (or )User name ,password login - Efficient?

Hi Folks,
In File Adapter processing , anonymous login (or) proper user name password based login is recommended ?
Because we have faced many issue while using username based login in File adapter .
Which one is best ?
Regards.,
Shiva

Hi Shiva ,
We will go one by one :
You can go for the Anonymous login but the problem is the any body can access the FTP server and it is not the secure one,that is why business generally don't allow the Anonymous login.
Coming to Proper user name password login ,I would advice you to use this one as the connection is more secure in this case.But this also comes with a problem that the username password generally expires after some time as per security policy and you have to change the username password for the FTP server as well as in File adapter which you are using.But this problem can be solved by going for a permanent username and password.
I would recommend you to go for Proper user name and password.
Regards
Ravi Anand
