Rescue & recovery password not accepted !

Hi, I finally decided to restore to factory seetings (F11).
Rescue & Recovery 3 ask me either for my hardware password or my windows.
No password are working, even the "I lost my password" procedure isn't working.
Please help for a solution, this is critical !
Thanks.
Solved!

HI,
have you checked the BIOS option, if you can see such option in there?
If you once configred the PDA with a password, then go into Windows and run following command:
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove
This should remove this password. In case it's the password, that I'm thinking of.
Let me know, if this will work for you.
Cheers

T-60, Rescue & recovery password not accepted

Lenovo, T-60, Windows XP.
I am having a problem with starting the computer, so I wanted to do a full restore to see if that could solve the problem, however, when I get to the Rescue & Recovery 3 screen, it propmpts me for a "Rescue and Recovery Workspace Logon" and appears to ask for my Windows password (it already has my username filled in).
The problem is that no passwords are working, even the "I lost my password" procedure isn't working.
The response screen says
"The requested operation requires password authentication, but you do not have a password configured. Pleaase configure a password and retry the operation."
I have only used two passwords on this computer, and neither works.
How do I get past this logon screen?
FYI, the initial issue: the computer works fine when running, however it has a problem starting. To get the computer to start, I have to remove the battery, unplug it, ptu the battery back in, hit the start button, and once it starts, I plug it back in. Quite a process, but it seems to work.

Rescue and Recovery Password not Accepted

There is a previous message with the same title but, it is marked solved. The solution does not work for my machine.
My ThinkPad T2300 (0768 -2UU) has crashed.
When I press F11, the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 3 screen appears.
- I assume it is Version 3.
The Rescue and Recovery Workspace Logon window then appears. It has  the following fields.
- User Name: AutoFilled with my main ID (Jim).
- Windows Password: blank
- DOMAIN: Autofilled with Lenovo-xxxxxxxx
- Check box: "I forgot my Windows Password" It is grayed out!
When I put in my Windows Password, I get the following message. "Authentication failed. Please try again."
If I change to another id: Administrator, John etc. I get the following message. "The user has not been enrolled with the Client Security Solution. Only enrolled users may log on or recover their password/passphrase."
When I boot the machine, the best I can do is to get into DOS.   I have no passwords set in Bios. I have tried to remove the password with the following command  (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove) .   I have scanned my machine and cannot find "app.exe".
How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
based on the informations, that you provided, this looks, like if the RnR partition was configured as secure for your CSS application.
So here are the steps, on how to get rid of the password request:
- start into OS
- open CSS
- go to Advanced-> Manager security policies
- in this new window you will see on the left side the option "Log on to Rescue and Recovery". Please select it and on the right site you can choose the correct option, that you want to user. Or just dissable it.
Your situation is, that you, or someone have protected the RnR partition with the CSS security policy. The command, that you noticed, that is not for this purpose, because there are multiple ways on how to set a password into RnR partition:
1) useind RnR => this is the option, where the command "pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove" would help
2) using BIOS => this was only by older systems
3) using CSS => this is the situaiton, that you see. The main hint is the domain field, which can be only comming from CSS
Let me know, if this helps.
Cheers

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.
Message was edited by: one11archerave

I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

Signed up on furefox desktop 2/2. No problem. Today password not accepted. Asked for help 3 hrs ago and never got email and nit in spam

Was sucesssful signing up and using firefox on desktop yesterday. Today user name and or password not accepted. Can't get emails-nothing. Asked for help with password and never got email. This was 3 hrs ago and not in spam folder

Password for what? Signing up for what?
Firefox doesn't need a password for a person to be able to use it.
Firefox shouldn't affect your ability to get email - Firefox doesn't do email, but it will allow you to access your web-mail service.

Hard Drive password not accepted in new W530

I am moving a hard drive from a W500 to a W530 laptop. The hard drive has a password on it and it works fine on the W500. When I put the drive in the W530 laptop, it does not accept the password on boot up. If I move the drive back to the W500, it all works fine. This is a 1TB drive, so I'm hoping I can still use it! Thanks for any help here.

Good afternoon and welcome to the community.
Since the HDD password is accepted when it's installed in the W500, why not pull off the password in BIOS there, reinstall the drive into the W530 and then set the password in the W530's BIOS?
Regards.

ID password not accepted anymore (once worked)

Good morning,
I am kind of desperate...and I hope somebody is familiar with this problem.
I have adobe reader 11 XI, the latest version.
I am taking a trainingcourse at Learningtrain. They provide lessonmaterial with certificates / id only.
I created an ID and sent that to my teacher. fyi: I was strongly advised to switch off the automatic update option..as adobe deletes id's... and i did.
The teacher had it all set up. And it worked! I could succesfully open the material with my password.
now the issue:
But it only worked once! Very strange. the ID is still there,but adobe does not accept my password any more
so i cannot open the file anymore. My home work is due today... and it is a lot ;-)
I have checked and double checked my password and is must be correct.
My teacher advised me to delete this id, and to create a new one. but that does'nt work as reader still askes
for my password when i want to delete the id.
so i decided to deinstall reader and install again (who knows...) but it lookes like i cannot delete it.
fyi: I also have adobe acrobat pro on my pc as i have the whole adobe css range. but I have exclusively used the reader.
Hope you can help me.
Kind regards Asha

Well, if you can't uninstall Reader, you probably have something wrong. But, if you were advised against updating, uninstalling will surely be worse!
I'm afraid I don't know what kind of password this is, there are so many possibilities. What does the prompt say? A screen shot would be good (BUT DON'T TRY TO EMAIL IT IN REPLY).

User password not accepted after migration

Source: iMac Lion OSX.7.4 Destination iMac OSX6.8
Problem: user password is not accepted after migration
What I did: Tried to migrate over the LAN, but in the migration assistant the other Mac was mutually never recognized. (Did migrations several times successfully in our LAN before). Last time the LIon Mac was the destination, who is now the source.
I backupped then the user with Time machine on the Lion and installed it with the migration assistant on the Snow Leopard system. As as the password was not accepted, I repeated the backup/migration process once. No help
I reset in System Prefs/User accounts the password of that user. But cannot login either
First time, that a migration process fails for me.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Urs

The target computer itself has admin accounts thats not the problem, I can access it. The issue is that the migrated additional user account is not accessible with its password.
I have found here an istruction how to reset a password in single user mode.
http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
But that does not help either.The answer after the dscl -passwd command is that I do not have access (or similar, I don't remember)
My guess is that backward migration (Lion to Snow) causes the problem. May be I need to create the user freshly and to copy his documents manually

HomeHub 2.0 Password not accepted after factory re...

I have done several password resets after carrying out a restore to factory settings, but as I soon as I type in the new password, it does not accept it. I know for sure the password is the one to which I set it to. Is is a bug and does anybody have any solutions?
I look forward to hearing any answers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Once you enter your chosen password (twice on initial reset) you should see the 'proceed with' button
I've just checked and its working fine for me.
When I clicked the settings tab I am not asked to put the password in.
I get
Basic Settings
This section contains the common settings that most users need to access. Some of these options are listed below.
All the rest should dispaly text
Do you see this on your PC?
What browser are you using IE, Firefox or something else?
edit
Are you clicking on the advanced settings (thats when I am asked for my password and it works for me).

HP pavilion G6 Recovery manager not accepting restore OS after replacement of motherboard

Hi,
My laptop is HP pavilion G6 with WIN 8 OS.
Recently my laptop motherboard, processor, Hard disc were replaced with another mother board and upgraded processor from AMD A4 to AMD A8 and hard disk as well due to some technical problems araised in the laptop. But these changes made by Reliance digital through HP service only. Unfortunately they had installed an unlicensed win 8 version and they said that my recovery DVDs won't work with existing hardware changes. Even though i am trying to installing the previos win 8 OS from recovery DVDs, HP recovery manager is not accepting to install Orginal Win 8. Can any one solve this issue to restore my old original OS from recovery DVDs or suggest me for the best.
Thanks in advance,
Santosh A

Yes, before Windows logo. At the first screen after powering on the machine tap Esc to bring up the Menu- same screen where you use Esc + F11 for Recovery.
Diagnostics is helpful many times in troubleshooting issues-such as testing memory or Hard drive.

Changed password not accepted in Mail????

I have recently changed both my Gmail and Hotmail passwords following the announcement that some account details had been posted online.
Now, when starting Mail, I got the pop up window saying my password was not accepted (hotmail) and I duly entered the new password and my mails arrived fine.
However the same cannot be said with Gmail, I have tried a zillion times to put in the new password but Mail still tells me that it is refused and won't download my messages.
Any ideas?
Thxs

Hi,
Quit Mail if it's open.
Open Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities).
Select Passwords on the left.
On the right delete the GMail and Hotmail names.
Quit Keychain Access.
Next time Mail asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

Password not accepted by appstore

I wonder why all apps which demand Aplle ID and password like iCloud, Apple support ect. work well on the same imac, but only AppStore DOES NOT accept it (message "password not correct").
I also reset my password - but no result. All works fine, except appstore :-( Antivirus and firewall are switched off. I also tried several suggestions from support community, like updating with MacOSXUpdCombo10 - no way, it won't work. I really need some help !

Try deleting the App Store cache...
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Ppen the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store.

Apple id password not accepted after ipad update to ios5

So I've just upgraded my iPad 2 with ios 5 and the apple id password doesn't work. I've reset the password 4 times now and still it's not accepting it. I've turned off the iPad and tried again and still no joy. Any ideas?

Well this is simular to the problem i have had in rencent log ins on apple. 1. Is the email correct? 2. Did you type the password correct? (There HAS to be an upper case letter in the pass because apple accounts' passwords REQUIRE at least one uppercase letter) If this was not helpful please try again or add more details next time.
