Pin vault password

I do not remember setting a password for the pin vault. When I attempt to use pin vault it request a password. How can I insert a new password for the pin vault?
PowerMac G% Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I believe you are referring to FileVault, not "pin vault." If you've forgotten your FileVault master password, then you must be able to log in to an admin account to reset per the following:
How to reset the Master Password (Tiger)
1. Log in to the admin account.
2. Open Terminal (Utilities folder).
3. At the prompt enter the following line and press return:
sudo rm /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain
4. When prompted for your password enter your admin password. It will not be echoed.
5. In Security preference pane set a new master password.
6. Log in to each account that has File Vault turned on and use Accounts preference pane to reset the password for each account.

Screen lock options disabled except for pin and password - Bionic)

Before upgrading, I was using the pattern-lock as my screen lock option. After the ICS upgrade was complete, the pattern lock option was still active and working as I would expect. But when I went into the Lock options tab, the other options were disabled and greyed out, except for pin and password options. I selected pin just to see what would happen, and when I went back pattern lock was now greyed out. My only two enabled options right now are pin and password. How do you fix this??

Hello harls!
This is very peculiar! Let's figure it out. I want you to be able to access your phone as easily as possible.
What Ann154 suggested is very possible. You may have something blocking you from using any other type of screen unlock option.
Other than that, I might recommend closing out all applications and restarting the phone. Then please set your setting for the lock screen to none and try and switch back. Also, you don't have any type of third party user interface installed or recently installed any applications, correct? If so, I might recommend uninstalling them.
Thanks and keep us posted!

NEW OPERATING SYSTEM - VAULT - PASSWORD MANAGER APP ISSUES

Just updated to the new BB operating system. My BB Vault - Password Manager App will not work not. Says this application uses a runtime that is no longer supported. I really need to access my backup file which is a backup_BB file with a .db extension. If anybody knows how to access this, it would really be appreciated. PLEASE HELP!!!

Same here on my Z30 and this is the response from XLABZ.
"Vault and most of our older apps were build using a technology called Adobe AIR. BlackBerry ceased support for Adobe AIR with their latest OS update and any app that you have on your device which used Adobe AIR (a lot of them on BlackBerry World) would cease to function as a result of this. The only other platform that is supported is Android.
We are now building a native Android version of Vault to counter this issue but that would mean a few things:
1) If you have all your data backed up to DropBox your data would be safe there and you can restore the data from DropBox as soon as we release the Android version on BlackBerry World. However, if you don't have backups then there is no way to get the data back or even back it up now since you can't use the old app anymore to do that.
2) When the update is released, you would have to manually delete the old app and install the new version. Upgrading alone will not work. However, deleting the old app will also delete all files that you had saved locally for the app - but if you have your data backed up already, there is nothing to worry about.
3) We don't have an ETA for the release and it could take close to 3-4 weeks for us to release the Android version in BlackBerry World.
4) If you don't want to wait and if you already have a Android device with Google Play access, the native Android version is already available there and you can buy it from there.
We understand that this is a big inconvenience for you as a user and our sincere apologies for this. However, as developers we don't drive platform decisions for BlackBerry so there was nothing we could do about this."

Windows 8.1 IE don't sync tabs, pinned site, password, ecc

I have 4 Windows 8.1 pro where pinned site, tabs, password, ecc don't sync across device.
3 machine are SMB 2011 Essentials domain joined, the other one, a virtual machine, is not a domain joined.
Sometimes the tabs sync but there are old one mixed with a new one.
The first time I joined the domain account with the Microsoft Account the pinned site sync worked but then stopped.
The favorites sometimes sync, sometimes don't.
I'm quite sure the password don't sync.
All the other Windows 8 setting sync.
I have tried to disable/enable all the sync option, reset the personal setting on this site
https://onedrive.live.com/win8personalsettingsprivacy/
delete all the favorites and pinned site.
running the microsoftaccountdiagnostic I found this error on one machine: Live Provider is not initialized properly with the cloud services and Rootcauses found and created logs
I have to say it's the first time I see this error, the last time I run the microsoftaccountdiagnostic there were no issue (only no root causes found and created logs like on the othe Other machine right now).
Hope someone could help me
Thanks

In the last 2 days I did some intensive test.
I found that the desktop don't sync very well.
Looks like the Other machines sync (maybe very slowly but they sync).
On the desktop this morning I found all the favorites, pinned site, tabs, ecc but then stopped.
I found this error in the event viewer

As I said before running the MicrosoftAccountDiagnostic I found this error Live Provider is not initialized properly with the cloud services and Rootcauses found and created logs.
Maybe I need to fix those error

Wanting user to have to enter pin/password to use script

what I am looking for is soemthing real easy for the user. I have a script that they call into where they can press options to open or close the script. I would like to prevent other users from doing this by requiring a simple PIN or password. So the script would open and then ask them for a PIN and if they entered it correctly would let pass down to the menu.
I am on 7.2 express. For some reason I am not seeing the correct way to do that.
Thank you!

The most basic way to implement this is like so...
Variables
Prompt ask_for_pin = P[ask_for_pin.wav]String secret_pin = "2580789"String caller_input = ""
Script
StartAccept (--Triggering Contact--)caller_input = Get Digit String (--Triggering Contact--, ask_for_pin) Successful Label Validate Input If (caller_input != null && caller_input == secret_pin) True Goto Authenticated False Goto Failed Timeout Goto Validate Input Unsuccessful Label Failed Terminate (--Triggering Contact--) EndLabel Authenticated...Do whatever you want in your script for authenticated users here...End
The ask_for_pin prompt is a recording that you have created and uploaded to the repository.
You could expand on this to make it more user friendly, but that's the basics of it.

Access pin/password users CCM 6.0

Hi,
I have some applications developed to CCM 4.3, and now I have to make them work with CCM 6.0.
My problem is that I need to access to the information pin/password of the users.
I have been study the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0(1) Database Dictionary and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Developers Guide for Release 6.0(1).pdf. I can access the credential table in the database making an AXL request, but I don't know if this value â<CREDENTIALS>B1E093371D17A602638DFF87FF303F31DCBD9A5848BD9DB57424EB04F2537503</CREDENTIALS>â that is the pin or password. Is this with some kind of encryption?
The dictionary manual tells that âAXL and all applications access passwords and PINs only via IMS librariesâ, where can I found information about it?
Thank you
Ana

doAuthenticateUser allows you to verify both pin and password (either or.. depending on the parameters you give).. but there's no way to read out the pin/password for us regular folks.. only cisco internal apps can do that.
using updateUser you can update a user's password/pin so basically you have everything you need except pin recovery. If you need to develop a pin recovery tool (eg. for a helpdesk), you'd just give them the ability to set a new pin (or password) for the user and be done with that.. it is after all the same procedure for an IT admin when you lose the password for your domain account or some IT service your company offers its employees.

Bitlocker with TPM and PIN testing?

Good day all,
We are about to deploy 10 Surface Pro 3's running Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64. We have enabled the TPM, enabled "Allow Enhanced PINS for Startup", "Pre-boot Keyboard" and turned on Bitlocker through the gui which recommended setting
a PIN which I did.
Everything seems to work as it should, how can I be convinced TPM and PIN are working together? I seem to be able to punch into Bitlocker many bad passwords without warning or asking me to reboot which is does for all other laptops without tpm.
1. How many bad password attempts do I get with TPM by default before lockout?
2. Where is my *.tpm recovery key?
3. Why when the TPM locks out can I still gain entry by typing in the Bitlocker PIN (not recovery password)
4. I want TPM to lockout after 5 incorrect attempts.
To test the TPM working I disabled the TPM in the BIOS and on next reboot Bitlocker asked for the Recovery Password which to me proves Bitlocker private encryption keys are safely held in the TPM. Is this safe to presume TPM is working?
here is the output from manage-bde and get-tpm status
   Size:                 59.11 GB

Hi Paddy,
"1. How many bad password attempts do I get with TPM by default before lockout?"
It depends on the the TPM chips.
"Some TPM chips may not store failed attempts over time. Other TPM chips may store every failed attempt indefinitely. Therefore, some users may experience increasingly longer delays when they mistype an authorization value that is sent to the TPM"
"4.I want TPM to lockout after 5 incorrect attempts."
We can set the group policy "Standard User Individual Lockout Threshold " in this path (Check the detailed information of this policy):
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Trusted Platform Module Services\
Here is a link for reference("About TPM lockout" part and "Use Group Policy to manage TPM lockout settings"part ):
Manage TPM Lockout
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn466535.aspx
"2. Where is my *.tpm recovery key?"
When we set owner of the TPM ,we will be given a chance to save the TPM passowrd .
And when the BitLocker recovery key is saved to a file, BitLocker also saves a TPM owner password file (.tpm) with the TPM owner password hash value.We also can save them to the AD (Check the group policy in the same path as before). Have you tried to save
the recovery keys to a external media ?
Here are links for reference:
Reset the TPM Lockout (Check the first part)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd851452.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

https://technet.microsoft.com/pt-pt/library/cc749022%28WS.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
"3. Why when the TPM locks out can I still gain entry by typing in the Bitlocker PIN (not recovery password)"
When the TPM is locked out, it is also possible that the user will enter the correct PIN, but the TPM will respond as if the incorrect PIN was entered for a period of time.
Check the "When should I reset the TPM lockout" part .
Reset the TPM Lockout
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd851452.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
" Is this safe to presume TPM is working?"
From the output of the command line ,we can get the information that the TPM is working .It is not recommended to disable the TPM when the data is encrypted with TPM .
Best regards

Computer Shuts Down At BitLocker Boot Password Prompt

Hi All,
I have been using this computer for almost 6 months now with absolutely no problems until I encrypted my system drive with BitLocker. I am not using a TPM. Now, almost every time I get to the password prompt for BitLocker at boot, my computer turns completely
off. I am using an ASUS Z97-E. ASUS tech support was completely useless and wanted to pass the blame instead of help, so I guess I'm on my own as far as their support.
I have read previously that this may be related to ASUS products. I cannot seem to get it to boot reliably. If I completely remove power from the machine by unplugging it, sometimes that will give me enough time to enter my password. If I don't, often, it
will only give me a couple seconds (and my password is pretty long) before shutting down.
I have tried disabling Secure Boot and that seemed to help at first but then the problem came right back.
There is a BIOS update available but I'm not confident it will fix the problem.
Are there any specific BIOS settings I can change to make BitLocker stop making my computer shut down? Any Windows settings I can change that might help?
I'd really like to keep my data encrypted but I'm not sure if this hassle is worth it.

Hi,
Based on my research, this is a firmware problem. It does not matter what authentication method (TPM/without TPM/PIN+TPM/Password only/...) is used, it leaves you only some seconds before it shuts down.
It's recommend you contact ASUS tell them to try and reproduce it. They would need to fix their BIOS.
In addition, we could try to disable "fast startup" as below steps to see if it could be as a workaround:
1.In Control Panel, open the Power Options item.
2.Click the Choose what the power buttons do link.
3.Clear the Turn on fast startup (recommended) check box.
4.Click Save Settings.

Can't remove the screen lock by PIN and can't use the screen to receive calls

Hello, I have a brand new SONY Xperia , Model Number D5803, Android version 5.0.2. , Baseband version 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00063-42, Kernel version 8974-perf-g3f600d1. , Build number 23.2.A.1.62.
I set a screen lock by PIN. However when I receive calls I can’t take them, because the screen in locked.
I tried to turn off the screen lock, but when I select the “ Screen lock” menu and after entering the correct PIN, the following items are not active “None”, “Slide” and “Pattern” . So I can't select “None”
The only active items are “PIN” and “Password” .
Please advice how to remove the screen lock by PIN. I hope this will help to be able to receive calls.
Thank you

To enable None and Swipe options, you need to go to Settings -> Security -> Clear credentials. Then those options will become active again.
However, you should be able to take calls even when you have PIN security, can you describe what shows on the screen when you have an incoming call while screen is locked?

Please Help re PIN

I recently changed my mobile to a Blackberry Curve 8520 (through Orange France - all the helpline is in technical French and I struggle with this!).
On returning from the UK I turned my mobile off to prevent texts from Orange waking me up in our cabin. Today I turned my mobile back on and it is demanding a PIN.
I do not recall setting a PIN when I switched SIMS from my old mobile - Is there a factory-set standard PIN that I could enter?
Many Thanks

Is it asking for a PIN or Password?
Some SIM cards are locked and must have a 4-digit PIN entered. It is often the same PIN code used as a 'password' when you call your mobile provider to access your mobile account.

Sun PKCS#11 provider is caching PIN in applets

I am coding an applet which uses Sun PKCS#11 provider to encrypt data. But There I am getting a strange problem of PIN caching.
My Scenario_
1. User login: User enters correct pin and Password is encrypted and sent to server.
2. After log off button click, Login screen is displayed again. Now user enters wrong PIN.
3. STRANGE Behavior: The encryption works well with the wrong key.
1. I have removed the provider and readded it again.
2. Created KeyStore again,
But all this results in same problem.

The program is just to simulate the issue. I understand that user have to pass the pin. In our GUI we have our own dialog to get the pin from user and pass it to the PKCS#11 provider that uses the pin while loading the keystore.
cac.load(null, pin); // the pin passed in load method is not used at all
My problem here is even after the proper pin is supplied by the user the active client PIN dialog is prompted. Whereas in LInux JRE this works fine.
We have a command line application where active client dialog popup is not acceptable. We need to get the PIN from user as command argument and load the keystore.
Please let me know if this clarifies the confusion.
Thanks,
Ruhul

Second password¿?¿?

Hi!
I'm becoming CRAZY! I connected my BB to the computer to install the Desktop Manager and since that moment it asks me to enter a second password. When I set it up, I introduced the same code twice (pin and password) in order to not to forget them, but it doesn’t work!!! I’ve tried 8/10 options. What can I do? Help!!!
Thanx!

Hello,
Second password? As in, the PC prompts you for two separate passwords? Or is it the same password, simply entered wrongly the first time?
Regardless, you have no choices...you must enter the password correctly before the 10th attempt. If you fail, your BB will be wiped clean of all your data. There is no backdoor password to bypass this. The only way to prevent it is to enter the proper password.
If you know how to enter your password on the device keyboard, then untether and do that on the device keyboard -- that will reset the password. Pay close attention to the actual characters that are entered -- I suspect that, as so often happens, the keys you are pressing are not sending the characters you think...CAPS, ALT, or some other key modifier is either in place or not in place, depending on it's state when you actually created the password.
Good luck!

Will not allow me to change a user password

Okay this is a little different. This has gotten me a little puzzled and I am hoping someone with some knowledge about File Vault etc can help.
I have this machine where there is a user name and a password (that we can't remember) with File Vault turned on. We know the master password however the master password will not allow us to change the users password.
We have tried changing the Master Password to ensure that the password is not the issue and that was successful. We tried using the Master Password to try and change another user account (not with File Vault turned on) and it gives us no problems.
I have tried changing the password in System preferences and I get an error message CSSMERRCODE_MEMORYERROR. I tried going to the login screen letting the login attempts time out where it asks for the master password, then it prompts me to reset the password. No matter what I put in the "new" and "verify" (yes they both match) the screen just shakes and won't let me go any further.
I have repaired the permissions and tried resetting the password with the Leopard DVD and also came across no luck. Because the User has File Vault turned on I can not even back up the data so I just delete the account and re-create the user!
I am really stuck here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay strangely enough, I tried to reset the password back. We had an old File Vault password that we changed to the current one and then changed again during this process. So taking what you said, I reset the Master password to the original one we had a long time ago. It did not allow us to change the password. However when I changed it back to the one we had changed it to a second time, it wouldn't let me change it at the login screen but it allowed me to change it in the Account Management under System Preferences.
So it is fixed. Needless to say I disabled File Vault and it will never be used again! Thank you for your reply it definitely helped me resolve this issue.

MBAM 2.0 - Complex PIN support

Hi
Referring to
windowsteamblog I found the following:
Additionally, to protect machines during the pre-boot authentication
process, we’re adding complex PIN support to address situations where
users attempt to set a weak PIN.
How can configure complex PINs (not passwords)? Which PIN code are then no longer allowed?
Thanks!

Hi,
Password is necessary when encrypting the hard drive via Bitlocker for security.
As the statement in this blog, some common PIN sequences like 1111, 1234, and others like them can’t be used.
