Password required for Mail?

I open up my Mail icon, and a window pops up that says, Cannot Send Mail, no password provided for user (my email address) of server (my server address).
Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password.
Question-How do I go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password? I cannot find this area?
Please help, and thank you in advance for your consideration.

maniac,
are you talking about the settings on the iphone or settings in itunes or mail? When you say "go back up into user name box and make a change", what kind of change are you talking about?
My issue is similar: I cannot send mail from my POP account (.mac works fine), and the error "address was rejected by the server" showed up each time, and the password field in SMTP on iPhone keeps reverting back to "Optional" no matter how many times I enter it, save it, whatever.
I spent an hour with Apple last week. The tech had me do a software restore, and advised me NOT to sync my mail. This worked.
While this is a good workaround (I got it to work), this is in the longer term unacceptable as it's a pain in the butt to delete mail (no group select of mail???) from the iPhone.
But I'd like to know more about this workaround you mention.

How to change "No Password required" for Guest to "Yes"account under Somarsoft Dumpsec

Check Content:
Verify all accounts require passwords.
Run the DUMPSEC utility.
Select "Dump Users as Table" from the "Report" menu.
Select the following fields, and click "Add" for each entry:
UserName
SID
PswdRequired
AcctDisabled

If any accounts have "No" in the "PswdRequired" column, this is a finding.
Some built-in or application-generated accounts (e.g., Guest, IWAM_, IUSR, etc.) may not have this flag set, even though there are passwords present. It can be set by entering the following on a command line: "Net user <account_name> /passwordreq:yes".

Keychain password required in Mail and Safari on first use

Hi,
I use Carbon Copy Cloner to set up all our new machines and it works fine. I have a user called blank_user within the users folder. When I need to make a new user for a machine I make the user, login as root and then copy the files from blank_user to the new user. I then chown -R username /users/username and that works fine.
The problem is whenever a user opens mail or safari they are asked for the keychain password. This is the password set in blank user and is accepted. Although all the users know this password they are getting fed up with having to type it in.
Does anyone know how to stop this and why a 'chowned" account does this? Have I missed something about keychain?
Any ideas most welcome.
Best wishes
Michael

Hi, Michael.
If you set up a new account normally, i.e. using the Admin ID on the Mac and creating a new account via System Preferences > Accounts, then the keychain password for the new account's default keychain would be set to the login password of the account.
Since you're going about the new user task in a very roundabout way, the new account's keychain password is that copied from blank_user.
Have the user reset the keychain password to be the same as their account's login password using the instructions in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing your keychain password."
Note that by default, the user's default keychain will lock again after a period of inactivity or sleep depending on its settings. To check and perhaps prevent this, one first wants to select the user's default keychain in the Keychains list, then select the following in Keychain Access: Edit > Change settings for keychain keychain_name where keychain_name is the name of the keychain currently selected in the Keychains list.
The user's default keychain appears in bold in the Keychains list. For accounts created under Mac OS X 10.3 and later, the name of the default keychain is login. For accounts created under prior versions of Mac OS X, the default keychain name is the same as the user's short name.
Note that some of the information above is from the "Keychains" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.
Good luck!

What exactly is the receiving username/password required for

Hi All,
I have the ServiceDesk Appliance installed and trying to set it up.
I am now at Setup > Email > Server. Here in the "Receiving" section, what exactly do I need the "UserName"/"Password" for?
Can I use and existing username? or do I need a have a separate Username dedicated for the ServiceDesk?
Regards,
Yaser.

Yaser,
I will usually create an account specific for Service Desk. This is the user
account that will authenticate and Pop the mail form your mail
system(GroupWise..:-) ) back into the Service Desk application.
Hope that helps

Username and Password Required for Wifi Connection, Not Being Asked for Username

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 8 and attempted to join my school's wireless network, which requires both a username and a password. i am being asked for a password but not a username.
my question here is how to have the username be requested as well.
thank you in advance for answering.

Hi, did you ever find a solution to this? I see your post is old, but the exact same thing has happened to me and I can't figure out what the generic username and password would be. Any insight you have would be most helpful. Thanks!

Security Issues - No password required for unsleeping and screensaver

I checked the box under security to 'require password when waking from sleep/screensaver' or whatever its called. It worked fine for like 2 weeks...i activate screensaver or sleep the laptop and have to put in a password to get out of it. Now when I wake or unsleep it, no password is required...what can I do? I cannot find any pattern or installation/change I made to cause this at all.
MacBook Pro 1.83 with OS 10.4.6 (all latest updates and firmware)

I deleted 3 plist preference files, the checkbox still remained for the require password option. I did a reboot and the checkbox was still there, and didnt work properly. I did the uncheck/check deal and blam...started to work properly again. Thanks for your help!

VPN Password Required for Each Connection

Prior to installing 10.5.6, when I accessed my VPN the password was automatically sent. Now I am required to type it in for each connection, although my setup remains the same as it was. Can someone tell me how to do this automatically?? Thanks

Hi,
You need to upgrade the excel addin to 9.3.1.3 as it resolves the following issue
Spreadsheet Add-in. In the Login dialog box, Essbase was not storing non-default port information.
If Essbase was listening on a non-default port, that information was not being saved after having
previously connected successfully. Upon subsequent logins, it was necessary to re-enter the nondefault
server and port numbers; it was not saved in the Server drop-down list. Additionally, after a
successful connection on one sheet, re-connection was necessary after switching to another sheet
when a non-default port was used. [7118611, 7298976]
Ok?

Nuisance--- admin password required for Onyx or Cocktail

I don't use an Admin password, but OS 10.74 requires a password, not a blank password, so run Cocktail or Onyx. I enjoy having no password, and no one else uses my laptop. It's a nuisance to add a password, run Cocktail or Onyx, then delete the password in Prefs. The authors of these two utilities assert that Apple requires a password, not the authors of these two fine utilities.
Anyone know a workaround so the password space can be blank ?

Administrator accounts should not have a blank password
Administrator user accounts that have a blank password (that is, no characters at all for the password) will be unable to use sudo functions in Terminal.
=====================
Yep. I knew that. But that doesn't mean it's convenient or judicious or necessary. While Apple has made some improvements in Apps and OS, there is a growing list of issues.
Your specific issue is that you don't wish to have a password. That is fine, but do not expect everything to work in your favour just because of your decision to be lazy. Third Party Apps are NOT Apple's responsibility. It is up to them to keep up to date.
Unfortunately for you, it IS necessary to have a password to access Terminal.
If you believe that Apple should have a User Option for this, then tell them. We don't write the software.

Why is my password required for printing?

Hi everyone,
I just got a brand new Mac Pro and I’m a bit puzzled about some of the security loops it makes me jump through. I didn’t mess much with the security settings, besides having to fix some permissions to share files with my MacBook, so I feel I’m unlikely to have caused this behavior.
I was thus surprised (and annoyed) when I attempted to print and was asked each time to enter my password. The printer is connected to a Windows XP machine on a home network. I regularly use this printer with my MacBook and never have to enter any password. I must admit that there’s a chance I may have been asked for my password the first time I printed, and decided to store it in my keychain, and this could explain why I’m never asked for it. I just don’t remember.
Nevertheless, my question is whether it is standard for a new Mac Pro to ask me for my password when printing on such a setup. Is the only remedy to this to include the password in the keychain?
By the way, storing passwords for printers, web sites, etc., in a keychain is pretty unsafe unless access to my computer is password-protected, right?
Comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hiya, Jon99 from Midwest,
I am surprised that printing asks you for your password. I have printed for a long time BOTH on USB AND wirelessly via my WPA2 hidden network. Never has the printer asked me for a password! On a PC, I would suspect a virus, but I have not heard of that for a Mac (there only about 40 as opposed to 10's of thousands on PC's).
The only explanation, I would be able to think of is if it a shared network printer because yours "belongs" to another machine (PC); so it maybe that it is not your mac asking for a password to print, but your mac asks you to access your (hopefully) secure PC. And, yes, you probably stored your password on your macbook keychain. why don't you try and print again, and check the "details" of what keychain actually wants (it's 3/4 down the window and click on details).
Mac only normally asks for passwords for installation of programs, maybe in mail receiving/sending problems, or airport or similar.

Infrastructure required for Mail Adapter

Hi Experts,
I need to work on a Mail Adapter B2C scenario where XI sends emails to the client with XML file as attachements.
Questions:
1. What is the additional hardware infrastructure required to use the Mail adapter apart from the SAP XI server.
2. How can the mails be archived somewhere, in case I do not want to store them in my inbox-->sent items folder.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Shobhit

as for my knowledge is concerned...
there are no more requirements ...
but check the firewall issue.....and know what is the version and service pack u are using...
and check wether u require sender,receiver addresses and subject required in the mail...if go with mail package check box in the mail adapter..
check wether mails are to be sent to two or more receivers...if semicolon( will do to separate them.
and check wether SLD is done proper or not bcoz,even i was right in my scenario and there was an issues in SLD and i traced it after few days...where i delayed my work..
hmm.....if any i will get back to u shobit....

Password required for Apple ID....but email address changed since created. Password forgotten.

MY mum was just browsing the web when a message popped up saying....sing in to iCloud. enter the Apple ID password for (her email address). The problem is that she has changed her email address since creating her iCloud account. She can't remember the password anyway, but when it prompts her to change password if she can't remember it, it doesn't work because it obviously sends the link to that listed, but now old, email address. This message won't clear, so she can't do anything on her iPad. If she tries to cancel the message, it just pops up again.
any ideas gratefully welcome!

Does she have any way at all of accessing the old email account?
Regards,
Steve

Admin password required for stopped queue

I am running 10.5.4 iMac G5 clients and 10.5.5 servers at my schools. We use mostly GCC 12 series laser printers with a few HP models of varying vintages thrown in. My users are experiencing frequent pauses or stops of their print queues. They are unable to restart the queues themselves, I must go in with my admin password to restart their queues. I've been told this is not a bug but a purposeful function of the OS. Is this true? Also, is there any way around it? I am going crazy just trying to keep up with all the print queues that need to be reset every day! Also, any idea what is causing printers to stall on even simple jobs? It seems to be happening far more often than it used to on my old 10.3 clients, even on simple Appleworks documents.

I found a possible solution at the macosxhints, haven't tried it yet as only one of my Macs is on 10.5.5 so far. I'll post back if it works, though a few posts have been made to that solution with success so far.
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20081107092520601
Here's the text from the link:
Mac OS X 10.5 requires you to enter an administrator's password to pause/resume a print queue, where no previous version of OS X has done so. This is extremely annoying in a lab setting -- if there's a paper jam or something, the queues on all the computers need to be restarted by an administrator, instead of the user just clicking Resume. I haven't seen a solution to this elsewhere, so here's what I came up with:
1. As root, or in a Terminal session with su privileges, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
2. Find this section:
<Limit Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Enable-Printer Disable-Printer Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job Hold-New-Jobs Release-Held-New-Jobs Deactivate-Printer Activate-Printer Res
tart-Printer Shutdown-Printer Startup-Printer Promote-Job Schedule-Job-After CUPS-Accept-Jobs CUPS-Reject-Jobs>
AuthType Default
Require user @AUTHKEY(system.print.admin) @admin @lpadmin
Order deny,allow
</Limit>
3. Remove the items you don't want limited: Pause-Printer, Resume-Printer, Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job, etc.
4. Save the file, quit the editor, and restart your computer.
After restarting, you should be able to pause/resume the print queue as any user. Hope this helps, it was annoying the heck out of me.

Password Required for Open Wireless Network

I'm participating in a meeting in Norway with four other people on laptops using a mix of WinXP and Vista. They all connected to an open wireless network without issue. On my MBP, I see the network, but cannot connect to it. Going through the "Assist me..." option in the Network Setup Assistant leads me to a form that invites me to enter a WEP Password. It says:
The AirPort network "BERGSTADEN BASE1" requires a password.
Please enter the type of wireless security and the network
password.
The problem is that no password is required (as confirmed by all my WinXP/Vista-using friends). I am at a small conference facility at a resort area and do not have access to the wireless access point.
Any idea how I can join the network?

When you are not connected to the network, go to the Airport menu (the icon near your clock). Hold down the option key, while you click on the Airport icon. Then move the mouse pointer down to the network in question.
If your Mac thinks that the network is secured, it will come up with a "tip" saying something like WPA or WEP.
Also, is it possible that you have connected to a network of that name before that required security? Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Airport -> Advanced -> Airport and delete the network from the list.
Then try to reconnect from the icon on your menu bar.
Cheers,
Rodney
