Problem with both user and cmos password

I have problem with my user and cmos password, can formating clear the passward with remove the cmos battary.

It depends on the model. Formatting will not touch the BIOS or power on passwords but will take away the Windows user password and allow you to have a different one, but will kill all the data on the machine. Removing the CMOS battery might clear the BIOS password and power on password, but on most current laptops even that will not help. The BIOS data is on a chip that holds its contents even when all power is removed.

  • Solaris Login with both Old and New Passwords!!!!!

    After password expiration in Solaris we discovered that users can do o/s login into the system both with old and the new password (!!!). I read something about LDAP and Kerberos password synchronization, it is possible???
    Thanks

    SolarisSAinPA thanks for your helpfully answer...but before a couple of hours department IT of company where I work answered in my question:
    ......Solaris 8 and 9 use the old unix cryptographic algorithm, which can encrypt a string of "at most" 8 characters (if you enter a 10-character string, the OS accepts it and then silently throws away the last 2)......

  • No internet, "PPPoE Server Not Found" message. Same problem with both old and new modems.

    Help please!
    My internet connection with my old Westell 6100 modem was working fine, then quit all of the sudden and would not restart. The DSL and Data lights on the Westell modem were both green. The Internet light alternated between red and off.
    I tried every troubleshooting thing I could think of:
    Powering down and re-starting the modem and computer.
    Resetting the modem.
    Checking all of the wire and jack connections.
    I plugged my computer ethernet cable straight into the modem, bypassing my router.
    I tried both Windows and Mac computers.
    I plugged the modem directly into the network interface on the outside of my house to bypass all of my house wiring.
    I checked all my phone jacks with a telephone tester to make sure both phone lines were working and not reverse-wired.
    I made sure I did not have a DSL filter installed on the modem line.
    Verizon Tech Support did a line test and told me the line was fine but that there might be a problem with either my modem or something at the "central office" (not sure what that means). Verizon also sent me a new router as well -- a D-Link DSL-2750B.
    The new D-Link router also does not connect to the internet (same problem). The DSL, Data, and Internet lights are all green on the D-Link. I have the computer directly connected to the modem with a new ethernet cable. I repeated the above troubleshooting steps. I went into the router configuration 192.168.1.1 and ran the modem's "Internet Troubleshooting" tests.
    There were two error messages on the router configuration screens:
    1."PPPoE Server not found" error message is shown on the summary screen.
    2."No internet infrastructure present. Please call your infrastructure provider." is shown in the "internet troubleshooting" test results.
    Verizon had me change some settings inside the router configuration -- no dice. Verizon ran another line test. A "Level 2 Tech" took over the call and told me that he thinks that the cause of the problem is that the outside wiring coming to my house is reverse-wired. How can this be true since my DSL worked for 2 years before this, my phone line tester indicates my phone lines are wired the right way, and my router reports "PPPoE Server Not Found?"
    Verizon is sending out a repair tech to check the outside wiring but I don't think that is the problem at all.
    HELP!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're getting DSL sync (solid DSL light), this sounds like a case of a bad line card to me. I've seen it happen before where it wasn't an account or route issue to the network.

  • Problems with both iPhone and iPad.

    I can not back up my ipad or iphone to itunes.It says either "the ipad or iphone cannot be backed up to this computer". I did however back both of them up to iCloud. Does that mean that if I uninstall itunes on my laptop all will be okay or if I were to reset both devices to factory setting since they have been backed up on the cloud? Should I just re-install iTunes? I have an iPad 3 and an Iphone 4s, and have reciently had major problems with the computer, not knowing exactly what but I think somehow the registry was messed with. I tried updating the program, and I had to go into my services on my laptop and turn on the service that enables itunes to sync my devices, however I don't think there is a service for backing up. Anyone have and ideas?

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!

  • Problems with MAIL program and IMAP Password

    I have had the same email and password for quite a while.  Now every time I open Mail it promts me enter my password agail.  It is the correct password but it keeps rejecting it.  It is only on my Macbook.  When I log into my mail via Webmail or get mail from my smart phone, there are no issue.  Sometimes it gives me the error, other times it works. 
    How do I correct this problem? 

    It is an IMAP account, so those emails should be fine.  How do I backup the ones I have stored "on my mac" in different folders. Or will they be deleted?
    As long as you don't delete any emails in Mail or on the server, those emails will still be there, but deleting the account removes all of them from Mail immediattely, with no chance of recovery. If you have emails from the IMAP account in 'Smart Mailboxes', those are also affected; but any other accounts are not, unless and until you want to delete the account.
    Keep in mind that there are times when Mail will be unable to connect to your mail server to retrieve mail; this is normal, and it happens to everyone from time to time. It is one possible cause of your password being rejected, but it usually clears itself within a few minutes, as it's a mail server issue, so you have no control over it.

  • I use images for presentations. Recently I've noticed a decrease in quality ( sharpness and definition) of pictures copied into Keynote. Same problem with both JPEGs and TIFF files. I've recently upgraded to keynote 09, but with no improvement.

    I use images of paintings for presentations. Over the last 3 months or so I've noticed that I cannt copy images (either JPEg or TIFF) without a reduction in sharpness and definition. Hope someone can help with this problem.

    Figured it out myself! yay!  (only took my entire moring)
    The solution:
    Dont print to PDF!
    SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
    This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

  • XP - Win7Pro(64bit) network printing problem with both D2660 and B8550

    Everything seems to be working but the printing.  I can enable sharing on win7, even add the x86 drivers.  I can 'Add Printer' on XP and browse and find either printer.  It installs fine and can be made the default printer.  I can select printer preferences and I see the user interface unique to each printer and can adjust page layout/quality/whatever.  But when I push print, it fails.  Likewise if I just try to print test page, I get a failure.
    Test page failed to print.  Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance?
    I tried the troubleshooter, but no joy.
    I also tried the HP Print Diagnostic Utility and it immediately returns and says connection could not be established-- reboot the computer.  Seems like it thinks it is a local printer?
    Any thoughts?

  • User and owner password have same access permissions

    Hi,
    I'm trying to implement standard encryption (128 bit RC4 for now), and as far as I can tell it works.
    The one thing that worries me is that, even when I use the owner password, I have restrictions. I get access to the document with (and only with) the user and owner passwords, but in both cases I can't print if I disable it. In PDF 32000-1:2008, pag. 59 it says: "opening the document with the correct owner password should allow full (owner) access to the document".  Both Acrobat Reaqder 7.0 and Foxit do this, and I've tested other encrypted documents that show the same behaviour.
    What can I do to enable printing as owner, but not as user?
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

    Hi Aandi,
    Thanks for the help but I am able to change the title, authors name etc from the Postscript file so that prompted me to think that we may well be able to set passwords using the same. Any other source via which I can set password like ghostscript or some other open source , third party tool ?
    Thanks for the help Dude ...

  • Problems with both Flash/Shockwave

    I'm experiencing problems with both Flash and Shockwave
    players. I've gone to the help pages for both of these players and
    I've followed every suggestion they had in there for players not
    playing even if they are installed. I have the ActiveX enabled in
    Internet Properties, security software is not in anyway afilliated
    with this problem, so that leaves me with being stumped and
    fustrated. I hope that you guys can help me out if anyway possible.
    Also, when I try reinstall Flash and Shockwave, both "successfully
    installed" flash videos do not show up.
    I will say this though, the posibility of an accidental
    uninstallment of both plugins not too long ago might've resulted in
    this problem.
    Thanks.

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

    Hello Khayalh,
    You should be able to link your phone number by following the steps in the article below. From your iPhone, sign out of FaceTime and iMessage and then sign back in and it should link. Check in the Start Conversation With and I Can Be Reached at section in iMessage and FaceTime respectively.

    I m having problems with both my iphone 3gs and 4 when my cellular data is on and my battery is fully charge but out of suddenn it will shut off can i know how can i troubleshoot this issue thanks

    simply try doing a back up and restore
    when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
    you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
    good luck !!

    I got over a 100 photos in just 1 of my photo folders.
