Password Lockout/O.S. 9.0.4 - SOS - Pls. HELP :-(
I am using for some years my 'beloved' iMax O.S. 9.0.4, Family # M5521 and find myself suddenly LOCKED OUT!?
The computer starts as usual, BUT gives me only an empty screen except for a dialog box which has the Apple logo and 'Welcome to Mac OS'on top, then in another square with a yellow whistle in front: my e-mail address. Below that, there are three choices for me to click:
Shutdown - Change Password - Log in
When I click on 'Log in' and use my password, it does NOT WORK! For the past several days I tried all the passwords I ever used in my life with this computer. NOTHING ....
On top of the screen [where normally the menu options are], on the left side, there is the usual Apple Logo {but this is grayed out], next to it is HELP [which I can open, but it shows only 'show balloon' 'hide balloon'].
Is there anyone out there in our iMac community who might be able to make some suggestions? I would be very, VERY grateful, since I had not backed up for 2 weeks my files and just started my Tax Return and have all supporting files in my iMac).
I tried already to re-install using my Install CD. It brought forward the Extension Managers site and I was able to check and/or uncheck certain items, but when I wanted to continue, it again asked me for my password.
And then I came to this iMac site, saw the dialog box for 'forgot my password' and was sendt via my e-mail the chance/information to reset it, without being asked for my old one, which I did. IT DID NOT WORK
Thank you in advance for trying to help.

WOW, WOW, WOW, Don Archibald, Sir I am sooo impressed and grateful for your help: IT WORKED!!! You can't imagine the relief from anxiety I experienced, when I followed your instructions to unlock my computer and am now able to reply to you from my OWN iMac!
I am so excited. I would like to send you a ROSE in appreciation
Yesterday I read through all the posted replies you had in the past and I just hoped (and intuitively knew) that you would be the one to help.
But I am not out of trouble yet, I think. I noticed that in my Internet Explorer Preferences window, except for the 'cookies' preferences, I encounter on each one of the other settings [Web Browser, Forms Autofill, Receiving Files, Network and e-mail] the message: "The panel .... could not be loaded. It may be in use by another application or it may be damaged."
I also noticed that when I click on the Apple Logo, the control panels link is missing in that list!?
Any further helpful advice?
Again, I thank you very much for your help,
Don Archibald. It is great that I finally found a community of knowledgeable iMac users. I live in Fountain Hills, AZ and for years tried unsuccessfully to find a support group. I called all the computer-related consultants, etc. in our little town: NO ONE KNEW HOW TO DEAL WITH AN iMac! I was told that in our area iMacs are not used!? That's why I am so pleased to finally have found MY group of people
With friendly regards, Christa_az

Hi all, i backup up iphone in itunes but not realised it was password protected and now want to restore new handset from backup but keep asking me for password but no idea what it was,, pls help...
You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device. -

Hey everyone,
Running SharePoint 2010 Foundations. I'm trying to enable password lockout on our forms authentication setup but I have been unsuccessful.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
What I tried was I opened the web.config for our site and change the following provider settings:
<membership defaultProvider="i">
<providers>
<add name="i" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPClaimsAuthMembershipProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
/>
</providers>
</membership>
to
<membership defaultProvider="i">
<providers>
<add name="i" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPClaimsAuthMembershipProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="3" />
</providers>
</membership>
Thanks in advance!That provider does not support lockouts. Instead, set the account lockout within Active Directory.

Disable Password Lockout Due to Incorrect Password Entered
Would like to disable password lockout if a user enters the wrong password too many times. Does anyone know how to set this up for portal user's?
In the UME config screen under "Security Policy" you can set the maximum number of failed logon attempts to 0.
Please note this is a portal setting. If you are attempting to authenticate to an LDAP or ABAP then it may have some extra rules. -

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it. -
I forgot my icloud email and my password pls help me ineed my phone fix
i forgot my icloud email and password what can i do ? pls help me
Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone. -

Here I am using Java Type IV for database
connection.
So,there was no necessity of creating DNS.How your app communicates with db shouldn't matter for the end user. Still, you may want to use a functional network name also for the thin client driver connection string.
So,is there any other way to solve this problem.What is the problem really? Do you not use dns for network naming? Maybe you have to manage the hosts file on every client then. -
reset all settings means password it is asking.....restrictions its on.....i do not know password......my ipod its USA model....pls help me oct 12th only my uncle gave a new ipod to me......apps and game it is not working......
If you forgot your restrictions passcode then yuou have to:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:

Hi, i forgot my macbook pro(snow leopard) password and i tried to reset it through single user mode, but whenever i type, everything comes out in CAPs instead of lower case. Each time i press the minus(-), it always comes out as an underscore(_).Pls help.
Well, you can try easing the shift key up with something thin but flexible (credit card sort of thing) but if the contacts below are stuck you may need to get it seen to by an authorised repairer.
If you can borrow a keyboard (a PC one will probably work as long as the password is alpha-numeric with no special characters) you can at least get in to backup your HD before going for repair. -
Can Apple make an app or an update that makes you insert your password to turn your phone off? This can help deal with theft of iPhones because people take or find a iPhone, the first thing they do is turn the phone off.
They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.
Let them know that you would like this:

Not sure this is a very useful thing. It would run down the battery. All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked. -

1. Make sure software is up to date
2. Make sure FaceTime is enabled; Settings>FaceTime
3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo
