Need help resetting or changing my admin username and password without the installation disc

I accidentally clicked on the check box that is located in system preferences in accounts that says "Allow user to administer this computer" and unchecked it. So the account that I set up the user name and password to is not the administer anymore and I don't know what account is. So now every time I want to make changes to anything and click on the lock button it will not accept my username and password. So how do I reset my username and password for the administer without the installation disc and without losing any files or folders????

Those changes require an installation DVD. However, see:

How do I change my iCloud username and password without loosening my music

My mum just gave me her iPad and she brought me some music from iTunes useing her account for me. I've now changed the iTunes account to my name and details, but now it doesn't match the iCloud account. How do I change the iCloud account to my name without loosening the music she brought for me?

You could set up two different accounts. One for iCloud services like Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes etc. (Settings > iCloud) for your personal stuff and one for store purchases like Music, Apps etc. (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) e.g. your mom's Apple ID.

Reset Admin UserName and Password?

Is there a way to reset you Admin username and password? Do I have to re-install?

Following information is from Installation Guide, Troubleshooting section. It seems to indicate that you have to re-install.
If you do not remember the administrative user name that was supplied during installation, try the user name admin. This is the default user name specified in the server configuration dialog during installation.
If you still cannot determine the user name, look in the following file:
domain_config_dir/domain1/admin-server/config/admpw
This file contains the administrator's user name followed by the encrypted form of the administrative user's password.
If you do not remember the administrator's password, then you will need to uninstall and reinstall the application server.
If you do not remember the administrator's password, then you can delete the administrative domain using the delete-domain subcommand of asadmin and create a new domain with a new administrative password.

I am still getting redirected to various web sites when using Safari. My PC is not affected but my I phone and I pad are. I have reset my router and changed my admin name and password. I am still being redirected.

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

What version of Creator are you use?
In Creator 2 Update 1, using Application Server version 8.2, you can do the following..
1) Log into the Admin Console using the default UID/PWD
2) Expand the tree view by following this path:
Application Server > Configuration > Security > Realms > admin-realm
3) Click on "Manage Users"
4) Click on the UserID "admin"
5) enter the new password that you would like
6) Click on the "Save" button on the upper right side of the page.
That should do it for you.
Good luck

ICM ADMIN username and password

Hi frnds
I have installed SAPNW7.0ABAPTrialSP12 on my system. I have started the application server and it works fine but when i click on ICM in MMC it is asking me to enter ICM ADMIN username and password.
What needs to be entered please let me know?
Thanks
Satya

check this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/82/9e98d786f040209e6a9e8145153939/content.htm">Create Administration User</a>
1.      As user <sid>adm go to the directory where the executables are kept and call up icmon ‑a pf=<instance profile> .
The following appears:
Maintain authentication file
============================
File name (icmauth.txt):   .
       2.      If you are happy with the default file name, press the enter key, otherwise enter a different file name or path.
       3.      In the next menu choose a (add user to set).
       4.      Enter the user name, then the password twice, the group name, the subject of the X.509 certificate (wildcards allowed, and it can be left empty).
User Name: icmadm
Enter Password: *****
Re-enter Password: *****
Group name: admin
Subject Value of Client Cert: CN=template,*
new entry locally created
The user created is in group admin, the user is therefore an administration user without administration authorization. In particular this user can create further users in the Web admin interface.
If you select another group name other than admin, create a monitoring user that can monitor, but not administrate, the ICM/Web Dispatcher.
If you want a user to be able to log on only with the X.509 client certificate, you can enter an x as the password (with queries), which makes the following entry (in the example) in file:
icmadm:x:admin:CN=muster,*
       5.      Choose s (save changes of set to file), to copy your changes from the local buffer to the authorization file.
       6.      Choose q, to quit the program.

I change my apple Id and password in the Apple's webside but I can change it in my Iphone. How can i change my Icloud ID ? Help!!!

I change my apple Id and password in the Apple's website but I can change it in my Iphone. How can i change my Icloud ID ? Help!!!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Admin username and password not recognized for upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade a user account on my computer to Yosemite. This is that not the admin account. My admin username and password are rejected. It is also rejected when I try to do something such as change the power settings. If I'm doing this within my admin account the same username and password work just fine. I have no idea how to fix this.

One more follow up question. I logged back into my admin account to upgrade to Yosemite. The software was already downloaded in the user account using the apple ID and PW associated with that account, which is different than the apple ID associated with the admin account.
Within my admin account, on the first page of the app store app it shows OSX Yosemite as 'downloaded' and nothing happens when I click that button.
The only other option is to click 'learn more' under the OSX Yosemite image. From that page it asks me to sign in to the App store to download Yosemite. The Apple ID box already contains the other Apple ID (not the one I want to use), and there is no option to change that. All I can do is enter that password.
I'd like to complete this with my Apple ID but I don't know how to change it.

Retrieving admin username and password

Hello:
Can someone tell me how I can retrieve the username and password for the admin URL? The DBA is gone and he didn't document any of this info.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can follow the steps here to change the password for the admin account ( the user name is ADMIN ):
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/install.310/e10496/db_install.htm#CIHBHAFJ
It basically just involves running the @apxchpwd.sql script from the apex install directory ( in oracle home ).
best,

TS1702 How do change the old Apple ID username and password to the updated username and password for the apps store?

How do you change the old Apple ID username and password to the updated username and password in order to get updated apps from the app store?

cbkitche wrote:

Do you mean you kept the same account but you only updated your AppleID?
Just log out and log back in with new ID.
Note that the AppleID is embedded into the item at purchase and cannot be changed.
However, when you change your AppleID, it will link the old account name to the new account name so you will not have any problems updating apps using the new AppleID.

How do i change proxy settings so it doesnt keep asking me "authentication req. The proxy web2.ucsd.edu is requesting a username and password. The site says: ucsd Squid Proxy-cache"?

I changed my proxy setting to access a restricted school website. I don't know how to change it back to normal settings! Every time i'm browsing internet, Authentication Required windows pop up like 4-7 times a day! randomly! it says "the proxy web2.ucsd.edu:3128 is requesting a username and password. The site says: UCSD Squid proxy-cache". and makes me put in username and password every time. sooo annoying. how do i make the setting go back to default??

1. Open firefox
2. Go to "Tools" tab
3. Go to "Options"
4. Click on "Advanced"
5. Open "Network" tab
6. Click on "Settings"
7. Select "No Proxy"
8. Click "OK"

In some pages I keep receiving this message: "The proxy moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080"".

In my company, I used FF for sometime now.
I had some problem in the beginning, but using the proxy IP and Domain\Username + Password I was able to navigate.
Ever since I tried FF4.x and FF5.x... I started to receive the following message:
The proxy moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080"
Even after inserting the Domain\Username and the Password I keep receiving the same error. In FF3.xx I was able to use the proxy.
Don't know what to do any more there are several pages that have this problem.
http://pplware.sapo.pt/
http://www.facebook.com
http://www.netbooklive.com/
http://daxspeculator.blogspot.com/
Some... don't have any problem:
http://batracer.com
http://www.youtube.com
Even when I try to see the extensions I get this error. This is so weird!!!
For now... I have switched to Chrome, every new version of FF that is released I try it to see if the problem is gone. But, with no luck until now! :(

I did have this problem with proxy moz-proxy prompt for username and password. In my case it was for websites hosted not on the internet but on the local corporate intranet. I solved my problem by doing the following action:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings: add the local website to the "No Proxy For:" field.
I hope this will help some of you out there that have manually configured their proxy settings. Also a tip if you need to turn on and off proxy settings I recommend using "Quick Proxy" add-on.

This is how I am supposed to contact to have my annual creative cloud membership refunded? I cancelled immediately upon seeing the charge and followed the instructions given and wound up here. Am I supposed to share my username and password with the forum? Adobe, I am about to go social with my frustrations!

No, this is a public forum, as in user-to-user, so you should not share any private information here. You will need to contact Adobe Support by chat or phone, which is apparently getting harder and harder to do. Use the link below and choose the Still Need Help? option at the bottom in the blue area - in the section that opens take your pick of chat or phone.

How to pass username and password with the portal url

i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
[Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
hope that helps!

Security issue: parameters username and password in the jbo:ApplicationModule

Hello,
in the <jbo:ApplicationModule> tag, you can give parameters for username and password, Then the .jsp connects to the DB via the username/password. Alternativly, You can provide this within the <Module>.properties file.
Now the question: Isn't this a security hole? I mean, is it under all circumstances impossible, that the source-code can be delivered by the web-server or that the byte-code from the servlet (compiled from .jsp) can be "restringed"?
Are there other ways to protect the credentials for accessing the ORACLE DB?
Michael

Hi John
thank You very much. You wrote
BC4J provides a number of mechanisms for specifying the DB username and password that do not require
the password to be stored in a JSP page. By default, in 9.0.2, the DB password is stored in
a BC4J configuration (persisted in a bc4j.xcfg file), which should be secured at the customer site. I've forgotten to mention our environment is SuSE7.2, DB 8.1.7.3, iAS 1.0.2.2, Portal 3.0.9.8.
For simplicity we would like to use the first method via bc4j.xcfg, But our bc4j.xcfg looks as follows
<quote>
<BC4JConfig>
<AppModuleConfigBag>
<AppModuleConfig name="OPKv1ModuleLocal">
<ApplicationName>de.condor.OPKv1.OPKv1Module</ApplicationName>
<DeployPlatform>LOCAL</DeployPlatform>
<JDBCName>WEBAPP_NETx</JDBCName>
<jbo.project>de.condor.OPKv1.opkv1PRJ</jbo.project>
</AppModuleConfig>
</AppModuleConfigBag>
</BC4JConfig>
</quote>
So the question is, where to leave schema/password?JDeveloper should have also generated a connection description in the same file named WEBAPP_NET. This
named connection should contain the relevant elements. It is not recommended that you edit this file directly. The
configuration editor and/or the connection editor should be used instead.
Hope this helps.
