No user name / password - Used eMac

Hi All.
I just bought an used eMac (800MHz). Sale was "as is" and the price was so low ($30 Argentine pesos - $8.6 Dollars) that I couldn't ressit the temptation
The problem is I don't have the user name or password so I can not login into Mac OS X. Is there anything I can do? Maybe get a bootable 10.4 DVD or CD?
Just in case I get a boot DVD/CD, how can I do to make the system boot from the optical drive?
Thank you!

Purchase a bootable CD or DVD, insert it, and restart the computer with the C key held down. Choose the Reset Password option from the Utilities menu. This won't work if an Open Firmware password is set on the machine; if one is, ask the person who sold it to you for that or the administrator username and password.

HT1515 Will Airport Express work in hotels in China? They require user name/password to connect. Has anyone used one there?

I will be traveling in China with my iPad2 and want to use hotel wireless. It requires a sign-in with user name/password. Can I use an Airport Express for this purpose? How do I set it up for that? I have an old Express (pre-2007); can I use it or do I need to upgrade to the new model?

OK - I have never been to China but the posts here say that it can be done - the cable from the hotel should be connected to the WAN port of the Express - the Express should be in bridge mode and set to create a wireless network with a name and password of your choice - you can do this with a computer before you leave for China or with the iPad if you have previously downloaded the Airport Utility app - you would then connect to your network and attempt to bring up a web page such as Google - the hotel should then intervene and ask you for the login info that they have provided.

When trying to send photos using iphoto a window comes up and says that email server did'nt recognize user name /password ...what do i do to correct this please marie

hello when I try to send photos using the iphoto a window comes up to tell me that my email server didn't rercognize user name /password how do i correct this .. as i have cganged my email address but i can't get rid of the old one thank you marie

Hi Cody\'sgirl,
If you are having issues emailing photos directly from iPhoto, you may want to double check the email account information that is set in iPhoto. You may find the following article helpful (the section below is about setting up a new account, but it should be the same location to check existing account info):
To set up a Photo Mail account:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
Click Email, and then click Add.
Choose your email service provider.If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
Type the requested information.If you use the Mail application included with OS X, some account information might be filled in already. If you’re not sure what to type, contact your service provider.
You can set up more than one Photo Mail account by repeating these steps for each account. When you send an email, you can change the outgoing account by clicking the From pop-up menu and choosing an account.

Question on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields in the MDT Wizard

MDT 2012 U1
Deploying Windows 7 via Offline Media (ISO) to MS Virtual PC's
I am looking on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields which are prepopulated in the MDT wizard via the CS.ini (Not so concerned about the Domain field as I am User Name and Password)
We do need the Computer Name and OU fields to be seen, so skipping the wizard is not a option
The client just does not want these fields to be seen by the end users, they dont want them to even know the account name used for adding the machine to the domain, of course the password is not displayed but it must not be displayed either.
But since we use the fields they must still be fuctional just not seen.
Thanks.....
If this post is helpful please click "Mark for answer", thanks! Kind regards

You shouldn't have to edit DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml. You should only need to add "SkipAdminPassword=YES" to the CS.ini file and your authentication information.
Example:
[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=NO
SkipAdminPassword=YES
UserID=<MyUserID>
UserPassword=<MyPassword>
UserDomain=<MyDomain.com>
SkipProductKey=NO
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=NO
-Nick O.
Nick,
SkipAdminPassword=YES is for:
You can skip the Administrator Password wizard page by using this property in the
customsettings.ini.
I am hidding the Username/Password/and domain field in the computer name Wizard pane which is read from the cs.iniDomainAdmin=xxxxx
DomainAdminPassword=xxxxx
DomainAdminDomain=xxxxxx
JoinDomain=xxxxxx

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

Hi there,
looks like you entered "DBADMIN" when you created the liveCache instance in DBMGUI as the DBM Operator.
For SAP installations, this user is always named "CONTROL".
So, drop the instance again, recreate it with "CONTROL" and re-do the recovery of the liveCache backup.

Safari 2.0.3 in OS 10.4.5 only remembers site user name/password 25%

In previous OS Safari behaved itself, but in this version the "do you want Safari to remember your user name/password" only works about 25% of the time.
Ideas/explanations? BTW I have never used the keychain.
I have just about given up and reverted to having the different names and passwords in Stickies and enter them manually-- what a PITA!

POP3 -Keep asking for user name & Password

Hi,
We have exchange 2003 server with Service pack 2. We have user who check their mails through Outlook 2003, Outlook web access & some users are using POP3 to download the messages.
Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.
Kindly advise.

HI,
This is happening mainly when
1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.
2. if user is using OWA & when we try to configured his mail in Outlool with POP3 .
See if i remove exchange attributes from user's account & then delete the users from AD & Recreated with same user name, Password & reconnected to that user to his old mailbox, it;s work fine.
Regards,
Chetan
POP3 is enabled by default for all the users.

Dynamic User Name & Password Creation

Hello,
In My Project I want to create no. of dynamic username & password as per user enters no of user he/she want to create.
For that i used database table's last auto-increment value and increment it to 1 & append it to 'st' for student(st+01)
so i am creating User name & Password Like st02 & st02 etc.
now my problem is when maxium limit of auto increment number is reached Usernmae & password repeats,so unique usernmae & Password creation not possible?
Is there any other way to do this other than using databse table's auto-increment field

Make sure the ID doesn't loop? An int(11) should provide MORE than enough possibilities. Be sure to use a long on the java side to hold the ID.

Auto-update: invalid user name / password

Hello,
I have changed out the CCO username and password for an IPS configured for auto-update but cannot get the IPS to correctly update its signature any longer. I have verified that the CCO login is correct and that it can download a signature file directly using a web browser interface. However, every attempt to get the IPS to update automatically results in the following error:
Auto Update Statistics
   lastDirectoryReadAttempt = 15:05:29 UTC Mon Sep 29 2014
    =   Read directory: https://72.163.4.161//cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl
    =   Error: invalid user name/password combination
(Note: I have the URL set to 'www.cisco.com')
Thanks,

FYI - just to close my own issue.
The issue was resolved by using the cli to set the values and perform a one-time update. Once that was successful, all future signature updates have worked fine through the gui.

Looking at your screen shot, it seems the database instance itself hasn't been correctly created because you lack permissions to do so. Subsequently, all your connection attempts basically fail because the database does not exists. I'm no real expert in SAP MaxDB administration on Microsoft Windows, but I read about System Error 5 once in a while earlier, have a look at [http://www.syseva.com/2009/05/operating-system-error-5-5access-is-denied/|http://www.syseva.com/2009/05/operating-system-error-5-5access-is-denied/]. Overally, I suspect you don't have the permissions you need to have (operating system/file system -wise) in order to create the files belonging to a MaxDB instance (and/or required by the server and tools, such as the dbmsrv ... err file mentioned in the screen). Maybe you should check your system permissions? Are you administrator or member of the appropriate groups [http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/0e/218650d996419d91f6b234766eadd3/content.htm|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/0e/218650d996419d91f6b234766eadd3/content.htm]? As pointed out, I'm no MaxDB/Windows expert, but this seems likely to be a problem as far as your screenshot is concerned.
Cheers,
Kristian

Can not connect to MaxDB 'Unknown user name/password combination' returned

Hi,
     I try to make a connection from NWDS 7.2 to MaxDB. So i use the url as 'jdbc:sapdb://127.0.0.1:7210/CE1' to make a connection (by wizard of data source explorer in NWDS).
I try to entry username and password as below :
User : 'Administrator' , Pass : 'admin123'
User : 'SAPJ2EDB' , Pass : 'admin123'
User : 'superdba' , Pass : 'admin123'
User : 'control' , Pass : 'admin123'
So i always got
com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc40.SQLInvalidAuthorizationSpecException: [-4008]: Unknown user name/password combination
returned
   I quite sure that 'admin123' is the password for MaxDB because when i try to uninstall the MaxDB it ask me to input password for 'superdba' and 'control'
How should i do? I remember that when i installed the SAP CE7.2 i had entered just only one password.
How can i reset the username and password or use default password?
P.S i try to enter user and pass from this post MAXDB Server,Database,Username and pasword , but it still not work .

Hello,
I am not able to connect Whit database Manager Gui 7.6 with the standard user and password, (control,control e.g). The Database Manager Client show the follow error:

but from the dbhost with dbmcli, the logon is possibile (dbmcli -d LCX -u control,control).
Any idea ?

Hello ALF,
1)
Please check if you have the user data set in the config database file using dbm command
on the database server < as you wrote, you have "SAPDB version:KERNEL 7.4.2 BUILD 030-122-117-803" >:
dbmcli -d LCX -u control,control dbm_configget SAPDB12
If the above command didn't return you the 'control' user, run:
dbmcli -d LCX -u control,control dbm_configset SAPDB12 control
&& try to connect to the database in DBMGUi with control user again.
2)
If the 1) step didn't help, please try delete the entry for the database in DBMGUI &
Add the database again.
Update with the results of the recommended steps.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina
