Password not accepted when trying to log off another user

Sometimes I want to shut down while another user is logged in and it asks for admin password. I type in correct password and it says it is invald. Password works the rest of the time. Any suggestions?

found this on the internet. I'm going to try it now.
This might make more sense then the Apple Support Document.
Insert Your Leopard DVD.
Shutdown and restart holding down C
pick your language
from the menu go to Utilities
Pick reset Password
Pick your hard drive (mines Macintosh HD)
From the users list select system Administrator
Enter a password and renter it and select reset
Quit password reset
Then quit OS x installer
Click the restart button
When your system restarts go to system preferences
Accounts and click the unlock button (the padlock in the bottom left hand corner)
It will ask for user name and password
For user name use the name Roots and the password you entered in the password reset.
This should unlock all the greyed out menus.
Check the Allow changes box to give you back Admin status.
Restart your computer.
This worked for me without another install. Hope it helps.

  • Password not accepted when trying to download upgrades via Software Update

    I haven't been able to download the latest versions of Safari, Quicktime, Java for Mac OS X 10.4, etc. because when I attempt to do so, my password isn't accepted in the verification dialog.
    I am 100% positive I'm using the correct password.
    What is causing this? How do I fix it?
    Replies appreciated.

  • Password not accepted when trying to download updates. Security question answer not recognized.

    I have been unable to update my software or downloads for many months now.  I try to log in, but it won't recognize my password.  When I answer the security question, it will not recognize that answer either.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    The best place to go for immediate support or when it's likely you'll need to discussion confidential information about your account is Live Chat at <http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=muse&topic=using-my-product-or-service> and click on "I still need help…" and then "Chat now".
    If that's not an option for you, then please provide a bit more info. Where is the login failure occurring? Are you unable to login to http://creative.adobe.com? Are you able to login to the Creative Cloud desktop app? Is the failure only at the point Muse ask for login credentials at first launch?

  • WRK54G - password not accepted when saving settings

    Hello,
    My WRK54G router is now presenting this problem: When I enter the ip address to access the web interface, I enter the user (admin) and the password for admin and I can log in without any problems.
    When I make any changes and click on [Save Settings], the page asks for the password for user 'admin' again, which has never happened before. I entered the password three times and I get an error page in read with the message "401 Authorization Required". I wouldn't like to have to reset my router, so I appreciate any help here.
    Thanks!!
    Will

    You dont need to enter any username, only enter the password as admin.
    In case you are not able to save changes and needs username & password, try this:-
     Open Internet Explorer - Go to tools -Internet Options - Security - Custom Level.
    Search for User Authentication and select Anonymous logon - Click Ok. Click Ok.
    Restart the browser and try again.

  • Satellite C850D - keys are not working when trying to log into laptop

    First I would like to say sorry for my lack of computer knowledge. My C850D is only 2 months old, last night it was working perfectly... this morning when I turn it on to type in my password not all the keys would work.
    I got a little angry and just reset the laptop. Still not working and even after that.... any advise to why my keypads no longer works.

    >My C850D is only 2 months old,
    I guess you have an hardware problem.
    Looks like keyboard malfunction.
    The warranty should be valid if the notebook is only 2 month old
    Therefore get in contact with Toshiba authorized service available in your country to get this issue fixed under warranty conditions usually the unit should be fixed free of charge.

  • Login Window's Name & Password dimmed & freezed when trying to log in...

    This problem keeps cropping up quite frequently, especially if I logged out of a OD account and immediately logging into another OD account: the name and password entered will dim and the Login Window will just freeze. There is no problem for local accounts and I still can SSH into this "frozen" computer and reboot the system. It occurs on all my Mac computers running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) whether it is PPC or x86.
    Looking at that "frozen" computer log, a successful loggin in will include these lines in system.log:

    Does anyone has a solution?

    What is the server (model & specs) & what are the clients ?
    Fast clients with a slow server can be one problem, due to how fast OS X boots.
    See
    Past that, since you can ssh into a frozen client machine, set this up in advance on a couple workstations.
    On the client set AFP debugging via, for example:
    sudo defaults write -g com.apple.AppleShareClientCore -dict-add afpdebugsyslog -int 1
    sudo defaults write -g com.apple.AppleShareClientCore -dict-add afpdebuglevel -int 6
    afpdebugsyslog = 1 (turns on debugging)
    afpdebuglevel = <1-8>
    Then, add the following line to /etc/syslogd.conf
    *.debug /var/log/debug.log
    Final two steps:
    issue
    sudo touch /var/log/debug.log
    and
    sudo killall -HUP syslogd
    Then, try logging out and back in with a different usernameloginwindow, and check debug.log
    and system.log on that client machine.

  • Password changed but not accepted when trying to sign back in

    I go online and change my password. This has happened several times now. Anyway, long story short, I change it, it says okay, and then when I go back to iTunes, it lets me sign in. HOWEVER, that is as deep as I can go as I need to change the billing information and it will not let me do that.
    This is a continuing headache.
    There are other things, but I'll let this one be it for now
    thanks

  • HT4479 Credit card security code not accepted when trying to sign into App Store for the first time

    I have just signed up for an Apple ID. I want to download Twiter for Mac from the App Store. When I try to log in, it tells me this is the first time I have tried using this ID and asks me to register my credit card details. I have entered all the information they ask for but it tells me my security code (CVV) is invalid. Is there any way to fix this, or to sign in without giving my credit card details?
    Thanks.

  • Admin Password not accepted when unlocking X509Anchors keychain

    Hi,
    Has anyone encountered this before that the X509Anchors Keychain installed from System/Library/Keychains do not see the Admin password as valid? The other keychains accept the Admin Password as valid except for X509Anchors.
    Any help or pointers on this question is highly appreciated.
    regards
    Gal

    This is an should be an easy fix. Go to System Preferances and choose users and groups. Click on the lock and type in the admin details. Then click on your account and change the password. Sorry if this doesn't work.

    Hi,
    When did this issue happen and have you made any changes recently?
    Sometimes, a crash could be caused by software conflicts, you can boot your PC into a cleanboot mode, if it disappears, then wen can narrow down to find the cause.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us
    And running a VM is very different from other software. It stresses the system significantly more than other apps and also uses more RAM at a time. I'd suggest you looking for updated NIC drivers, BIOS, and doing a full memory test as well.

  • 404 Not found when trying to redirect to another servlet

    I have the following code in a httpservlet:
    String formURL =
    "/servlet/coreservlets.OrderPage";
    // Pass URLs that reference own site through encodeURL.
    formURL = response.encodeURL(formURL);
    out.println
    ("<FORM ACTION=\"" + formURL + "\">\n" +
    "<INPUT TYPE=\"HIDDEN\" NAME=\"itemID\" " +
    " VALUE=\"" + item.getItemID() + "\">\n" +
    "<H2>" + item.getShortDescription() +
    " ($" + item.getCost() + ")</H2>\n" +
    item.getLongDescription() + "\n" +
    "<P>\n<CENTER>\n" +
    "<INPUT TYPE=\"SUBMIT\" " +
    "VALUE=\"Add to Shopping Cart\">\n" +
    "</CENTER>\n<P>\n</FORM>");
    When I try to run this in jdev, it can't find the servlet referenced - coreservlet.OrderPage and I get a 404. I added servlet mappings of various flavors to the web.xml to no avail. Here are some examples of things I have tried in the web.xml:
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>OrderPage</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>coreservlets.OrderPage</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>OrderPage</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/OrderPage</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>OrderPage</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/OrderPage</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>coreservlets.OrderPage</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/coreservlets.OrderPage</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>OrderPage</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/coreservlets.OrderPage</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    Any thoughts?

    I think the problem is with the dot, because dot means an extension.
    Where is your OrderPage servlet..?
    <url-pattern>/servlet/coreservlets.OrderPage</url-pattern>
    From this statement I think it is in the folder coreservlets which is insdie the directory servlet. If that is the case then
    Instead of a dot in "/servlet/coreservlets.OrderPage"
    try giving "/servlet/coreservlets/OrderPage"
    Hope this helps.
