Multiple Password Resets for no reason?

Why have I needed to go in and request a password reset 3 times since 9/15? My outlook on my computer and phone have the passwords configured so I know it wasn't me entering in the wrong password to block the account. The first time I got a notifcation saying there was a hack attempt on my account but what about the last two? No notice no nothing. Is there a security issue I should be concerned about? Is this happening to others?

A large number of accounts reportedly had some information stolen a few months back.
From what is reported by Verizon there is some form of account access occurring that has caused them to invalidate some accounts. These should not just reset the account but also CHANGE THE PASSWORD. Of course after you change your password they still might be under attack. Some have reported problems accessing from overseas as Verizon is trying to block these attacks.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

How to force password policy requirements on password resets for user accounts reset by the Administrator?

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Domain Level: 2008
Forest Level: 2000
We have Domain Administrators in our domain that reset passwords for user accounts, and the passwords the Administrators set them to are not being enforced follow our default domain password policy. For example, I log on the domain controller, as an administrator
and can reset a password for a user account to be blank.
Is there a reason Domain Administrator password resets for user accounts are not enforced by our default domain password policy? Is there a way to enforce this on password resets by Domain Admins?

Do you have fine grant password policy? If not ; by default all the usrs are effected by domain level password policy even domain admins,

Password reset for old sbcglobal account - no longer an ATT customer

I have an account from my DSL service that I canceled some time ago. One of the sub-accounts was hacked and is suspended. I never set up alternate contacts for it, so it wants me to call a service rep to have the password reset. Since I am no longer a customer there is no path through the phone tree that I can tell to find someone to make this happen. Is it possible to have the password reset for this account?

I changed my I'd and password but for some reason it still shows my old ID and I can't access my app store. Please help

I changed my apple I'd and password because my old ID was not working, but for some reasons I can not get into my app store with the new ID and pass. Please help

Anybody can access the App Store - even without an Apple ID.
What are you saying? You cannot access your purchased apps with your new ID? If you are, that is the way that it works. If you set up a new Apple ID - you can't update the apps that you bought with the old ID. You have to continue to update the purchased apps with the old ID and password since purchases are always tied to the ID that made the purchases.
If you need to sign into your new ID you can do that in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap th old ID and sign out then sign in with the new one.

How to avoid multiple password prompt for intarnet portal

we have developed a intranet portal in Share Point 2013 with multiple site collection. when accessing through IE, Chrome, we can do settings to avoid multiple password prompt by adding the domain name of site in Trusted sites. How we can achieve the same in Safari while accessing through MAC or IPAD

first time when you call the BSP application from the browser (or by double clicking the BSP_APPLICATION link from SAP GUI) you need to pass user credentials. For further windows this will not be required as browser will remember your info.
if you need to <b>somehow</b> avoid this then the only option is to hard code the user id and password in the service in transaction SICF or by passing the same via URL.
Another option is that if you port this application in a SAP portal environment, SSO can be used .
Hope this helps.

Why is wrong birthday information used when trying password reset for apple id

When trying to do a password reset, icloud does not recognize the correct birthday information. The Email used to set up the apple II is no longer active so email reset is not an option.

See Here. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Ask to speak with the Account Security Team...
Or Email Here > Apple Support iTunes Store Contact

Bios password reset for HP 6735s (not 6735b) laptop

Recently, I managed to find a replacement board for my laptop however I found out that there was an issue with getting into the systems BIOS as there was a password set and the company I bought that board off had no clue what it was set to.
Now I have tried all of the simple ways like removing the CMOS battery and trying the backdoor password (which I might add never worked) but still cant get into the bios to update it or change the boot sequence. I even requested some information about this issue directly to HP Support and they cant help due to the fact that the software they have to do this only work on 2009 and later models (my machine was built 2008).
I have all the information including the UUID however cant seem to find either a DOS application that will succesfully view or reset the password or anyone that would be able to point me in the direction of such a appliocation.
Before anyone says anything about a reset button or anything that simple, I have tried all that and have no such jumper or switch on the mainboard.

Creating password reset for helpdesk in FIM 2010 R2

I want my helpdesk to use FIM portal for resetting password.
Helpdesk logs on to FIM portal.
click custom page called password management
Types the account name and get an option to 1- reset the password 2- Reset and send password to manager.
can this be achieved ?
Can some one guide me how to do this
Creating custom page "password management" and other controls like user account name , reset password and reset and send password to manager .
When helpdesk click on reset password , can a WF be called to reset the password in AD ?
Any guidance will be helpful.
AdiKumar

Just this week i implemented such a feature at one of our customers. their helpdesk wants to be able to change all the password reset features which you can do in AD by their own.
I've used Craigs fantastic Powershell Activity to archive this goal, Thanx Craig for sharing this piece of work to us all.
So this solution goes like this:
Create an additional tab with rcdc's on the users UI.
Create a NewPW, doPWReset, ChangePWNextLogon and UnlockAccount Attribute and Binding for Users.
NewPW always holds an default reset PW, but can be changed by helpdesk.
MPR/Worksflow sets default values to any current and new user object for this attribute.
Powershell workflow is triggert on changing any of this attributes.
This Powershell reads the request and target object, determine the current state of the PWReset attributes and do all the appropriate actions with the Powershell AD command.
After this i used the OOB Function Evaluator to reset all PWReset attributes to their default values.
One thing as a little warning, be sure the workflow is not triggert if the FIMService account changed the PW attributes otherwise you get an endless loop, like me in my first tests ;-)
Hope this helps

Automatic Password Reset for end users

Hello Experts,
I am looking for a password reset facility, where end-users can reset their own password without depending on basis.
we can trigger an password recovery question or trigger to authorised email id to simplify our basis efforts.
Please let me know if you need more clarification about my requirement. I would greatly appreciate your help.
Regards,
Sarvesh

Hi Rao,
There is a good document on this.
Have a look : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502c39b9-02e8-2d10-18a7-d32fade7b18b?QuickLink=index&…
Also, if it's ABAP, why not give access SU3 to them. Only when the user gets locked or forgets password comes to your team.
