Problems with WPA/WPA2 password

I already posted this in the MacOS X category but maybe I should have posted here instead. Could you please help? Here's the problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2550481&tstart=0
Thank you

I close this conversation because I'm getting help from the other same post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2550481&tstart=0

Problem with wpa and hidden ssid

hi,
I have a powerbook g4 (1,67ghz). i am having trouble connecting to a netgear router mr814 v3 if i use wpa and hidden ssid, i get a message, that the router would not support wpa!
there is no problem with wep and hidden ssid or wpa with no hidden ssid.
is also have no problems with wpa and hidden ssid with an ibook.
the problems occur only with the powerbook with os x 10.3.9 as well as 10.4.2. even after the recent airport update, no change.
thanks for the help,
ben

I would use WPA and broadcast your SSID.
It use to be useful, but closing your Airport or wireless network (sometimes referred to as not broadcasting your SSID) is really no longer a real option when it comes to wireless security.
Unfortunately "Closed" networks, MAC access control lists, and reduction in transmission power are all more "feel good" security rather than real security. All these various approaches are dated and mistakenly lead to overconfidence.
WPA is your friend if you value wireless security.
My recommendation is not to worry about broadcasting your SSID but use WPA. This will be more secure than a closed WEP encrypted network. Closing your network makes it very difficult for neighbouring networks to see which channels are free thus causing potential interference problems.
Another thing to consider is that a closed network is still broadcasting and therefore is detectable (regardless of whether it is broadcasting a SSID). If someone was determined to hack into your network, then not broadcasting your SSID and MAC address access control is not going to stop them.
WPA is virtually uncrackable (only really vunerable to a dictionary attack if a real word is used as a password) and therefore will stop the casual user and the determined hacker.

Problems with WPA

Hi, I have a BEFW11S4 wireless linksys router and a problem with WPA. When I first create the password I am able to login perfectly, however when I log off and try to log back in I cannot, even with the correct passkey. What I have to do is go back to my desktop and reset the password again. When I do that it works. I already have upgraded my firmware, but the problem has not gone away. I am stuck using WEP because of this. Is there any reason this is happening and how can I fix it?? Thanks in advance.

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
You should be using "WPA Preshared Key" with TKIP. Is that what you selected in the router?
The WPA key (sometimes called password or passphrase) cannot contain any spaces, and must be 8-63 characters (capital letters, small letters, and digits).
What is the make and model of the wireless card in your computer? With most wireless cards, you can enter a "Preferred network" or "Profile" into your computer. This will store your SSID, encryption method, and password, and make it easier to get a connection to your router. Go ahead and use this.
Also, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.

E70 doesn't work with WPA/WPA2!

Hello, ppl!
Does anybody know if there is any chance that E70 will work with WPA/WPA2 encryption? Found it is not working with my home router configured to WPA but works with WEP. However WEP isn't strong protection and I'd prefer WPA. I just took phone to see it's capabilities before buying but lack of WPA would stop me from purchase - WM devices never had such trouble
'd like to hear from someone who do really know if this device will ever work with WPA and maybe it could do now.
PS. have installed latest firmwares to the router and mobile phone.

Problems with the sap* password

Hi,
i have a problem with the sap* password.
I tried my masterpassword but it did not work.
So i tired the following from the Tread: Password problem with user DDIC
resetting password for sap*
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
sql> update sapsr3.usr02 set bname='SAP1' where bname='SAP' and MANDT=000;
sql> commit;
Bud it did not work. After i tried to delete the sap*1 from the table sapsr3.usr02 but it did not work.
sql>delete from sapsr3.usr02 where mandt='000' and bname = 'SAP*1';
I also restarted the instance after the commands. But i can not logon with 'sap*' and the password 'pass' .
Mybe someone can help me?
Regards

Starting with release 7.00 based system you have to set
login/no_automatic_user_sapstart=0
in your instance profile and restart the instance.

Having problems with key chain password

I just got my mac book yesterday, and I'm having problems with my keychain password.
My keychain password is not the same as my login password, it won't accept it, so i think i made a typing error.
Each time i go on to safari, it asks for the password, which i don't have. i've tried the key chain first aid, and that still doesn't work. I've also tried keychain access, and that also doesn't work as it asks for the password first!
Is there a way that i can reset it?

There are user passwords and Administrator passwords. The only way to check your keychain password is to be the administrator. In an effort to secure my MacBook, I have an administrator account that I don't use at all and I have a user account that is all I use. It is a great way to protect your MacBook info from others.
As to your question, passwords are case sensitive. You can try to change the password by inserting the CD's that came with your MacBook and reset the password. Seeing that you just got it yesterday, you probably don't have much personal information on it yet, you could use disk utility from the CD and reinstall the Operating System.
Good Luck.

Wpa/wpa2 password problems

I set up a brand new AE 802.11n with a 13 character WPA/WPA2 personal password.
I am able to connect to it with a new iMac with a new extreme n airport card.
I can also connect to a very old 400 Mhz Tiger imac with an old airport card which asks for a WPA2 password.
But when I try to connect with an iBook (1 GHz Panther) with an airport extreme card it presents me with 6 possible types of passwords:
password (wants only 6 digits)
40 bit HEX
40 bit ascii
128 bit HEX
128 bit ascii
LEAP
none of these accept the 13 digit password
Do I need to update some "client-side" software on the iBook so that the airport card understands about WPA2 passwords?

An update -
I never got past this problem directly. I noticed a thread on the macintouch website reporting similar problems with old clients trying to connect to Airport Extremes.
However, I found a way around the problem. I took my old Snow airport base station which would have been gathering dust and used it as a router. The drawback is that I am using up one of the ethernet ports on the Extreme, but the good news (I think) is that the "b" airport card on the old imac is hidden behind the Snow base station and therefore is not slowing down the "n" network.
Hopefully this will help someone. I would like to note that I got some helpful advice from Duane in the Snow discussions in getting this solution working.

Problem with connetction to wrt54g2 via wireless connection with WPA/WPA2 & wireless MAC filter

Hello,
I'm Alexey from Novosibirsk, Russia.
I have a problem with connection to wrt54g2 from my DELL D630 notebook via wireless connection. When I setup WPA/WPA2 in wireless security and wireless MAC filter I can't connect from notebook to WRT - in Windows I see that dynamic IP address from WRT is not assigned. When I switch off security mode to disable always OK, but I need a wireless security between DELL and WRT.
Connection via cable Ethernet port is OK.
Can You help me?

Have you tried the different laptop...?
Download 1.71 MB the firmware for WRT54G2 v1 and reflash the router's firmware.After reflashing/upgrading the router's firmware,reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure the router from scratch.

Airport no longer works with WPA, WPA2 or WEP after 10.4.8 update.

A little disappointing.
After updating to 10.4.8 (I first did Software Update, then read here that the downloaded is safer, so I downloaded, repaired permissions, rebooted, installed 10.4.8 again from the download, rebooted, repaired permissions once more)
Now when I try to use the Airport on my MacBook Pro 17" I cannot connect to my wireless router (DLINK-524) with any security turned on (WPA, WPA2 or WEP). The signal strenght flashes on full (I'm close to the router) and off and I do not connect.
Any clue how to fix this?
Macbook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Macbook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I just did that - I tried a rollback with an "archive and install", and then stopped at 10.4.7. My problems persist... I'm actually quite amazed! Qurious if a clean install would solve the issue, but not curous enough to try. The way i see it, a re-install (even doing an "archive thingy") should include resetting all drivers. Well, either I am wrong and they are saved along with user settings - or else your explanation seems the only viable one; that there was a firmware upgrade included in this install. I admit - I did NOT read any readme. On the other hand, I tried my first install using the normal update.
=)
Anyway, after deleting all system prefs, deleting and reconnecting networks, repairing disk permissions and key rings, deleting keyrings etc. etc. - doing it all over again in different orders etc., I tried "arhive and install" back to 10.4.7. When that doesn't solve it, I give up. I have now opened my network - disabled crypt, and settle for simple connection control on MAC adresses. That works.
I would REALLY appreciate a fix, ladies and gentlemen on Apple. I mean really as in I am gonna egg your house if you don't give me...

[Solved] Trouble with WPA/WPA2 and wireless connections (ath9k)

Hi, I'm having some issues with my Arch install. Right now I'm posting this from Windows so I don't have precise logs, but I mostly remember the issue so bare with me.
I'm using ath9k with my Bigfoot Killer 1202 card (not sure what the exact model is), and I can't connect to my university's WPA/WPA2 access point. Using wpa_supplicant I get the error "4-way handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect".
So after some digging I found that I can get it to authenticate with nohwcrypt=1, but when I rmmod ath9k && modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1 it enumerates itself as wlan0 (instead of wlp3s0, which is what I get from booting up).
Then I made the file /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k with the contents "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" but it seems to still not want to connect until I rmmod && modprobe manually.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this issue? I haven't used Arch in a few years and a lot of things have changed, and so far it seems nothing works as I expect it to. Also, how do I get my wifi card to enumerate as the same device no matter when I load ath9k? I don't care if it's called wlan0 or wlp3s0, I just want it to stay the same.

Update: It seems to work ONLY when I rmmod && modprobe; if I force nohwcrypt=1 at boot it doesn't seem to work. Seems kind of odd... Wonder if this is a kernel issue?

Edit: I ended up solving my problem -- the issue I was running into was that ath9k was baked into my initrd without nohwcrypt=1. I opted to `mkinitcpio` again without MODULES='ath9k' -- alternatively, you could add a modprobe.d file to FILES= to get it to work, but I just figured this is simpler.

Wireless-Card doesn't not work with WPA/WPA2 but with WEP [Solved]

Hello I have a MacBook (late 2007) with a wireless-card from Broadcam, the card works with WEP and the classic configuration over rc.conf very well. But I can't get the card running with WPA and the net network-profiles.
Here is the link to the driver - http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Can I set here the WPA/WPA2-Key also? Why here ESSID? Do I need still a configuration in wpa_supplicant.conf?
Thats very confusing and not explained.
WPAOPTS? Do I need to add something like "-D wext"?

I need help. Please

Problem with WPA and ipw3945

Oi, it is me again ...
I have a problem when trying to connect to my wireless router using WPA. The wireless works as long as I leave WPA of, and when I try the same configuration with WPA on an other notebook it does work. I have loaded ipw3945 and started ipw3945d. Without WPA the following woks correct:
iwconfig eth1 essid network
but when I try the following with WPA I can't connect:
iwconfig eth1 essid yyy mode managed key restricted s:xxx
here is some more info:

dmesg tells the following about eth1:

Can someone help me with this problem, it is all very confusing trying to find a way through all the different tools and configuration files...
<_abe>

I have the same card.
installed knetworkmanager (I am using kde) and provided required wpa information at first start and it works.

Problem with username and password

I've been trying to set up a new back up from scratch, and after losing my network and wifi connection, I just about have it all working again.
I have wireless connection, and I have the TC appearing correctly in Airport Utility, green light, reporting no issues, and seemingly ready to go.
It shows up correctly when I select disk in TM's system preferences, and it shows up and connects OK i n Finder, under shared items.
However, when I try to initiate a backup, its reporting a problem with the username and password, even though I'm entering the correct password.
I've checked it in the keychain, changed it in AU to be sure etc, and when I enter a wrong password, it just tells me its the wrong password, rather than this longer message explaining there's a problem with the username or password.
So I guess it could be with the username, but not sure what that might be - any ideas?
The only thing I can think of is that the name appears as Time Capsule b7e45c in AU, but as Iain MacDonald's Time Capsule on Time Capsule b7e45c in TM's system prefs.
Message was edited by: Iain MacDonald1

Exactly the same here...error 107 is reported when I try to back up.
There are 4 computers sharing the time capsule and only one of them reports this error.
Is there a way to remove the sparsebundle and start again for this computer without having to lose all the others?
