Reset password for file sharing

How do I delete existing users from the file sharing window. I want to delete all users and begin again from scratch. I will be using a Windows laptop to access files on the iMac...

Duane,
yes at one point i think I had the multiple user enabled, but I still had one password to access from both A & B computers, so it will be simpler. For some reason the A computer works and I am able to see B via the file sharing. But not the other way around. It is possible I may have used another password, and now I forgot it on the other computer. Now I want to know is, if I can redo the whole thing where I can configure both computers and set up a new password (I will make sure I write this down some where). Thanks for your assistance, I do appreciate it.

How to reset password for file sharing?

Greetings,
I need some help in reconfiguring my network password that I no longer can remember (should have written it down, live and learn). I have two iMacs networked via a router. On one of them, due to the password problem, I can't connect to my other computer. I would like to "clean up" and set everything correct. That is, ID on the chooser, file sharing etc. to be consistent and start fresh with a new password. Is this possible without having to reload my software? If so, can anyone give me some directons? Thanks in advance for any help.

Unfortunately I cannot open the file now either on my Mac or from iCloud.
Nothing in settings that would allow to reset password to a file.

How do I use VPN for file sharing?

Hi folks, hope you can help.
I need to find a method for file sharing between my company's two offices, which are not only in different countries but also use both PCs and Macs. I think setting up a VPN is the way forward.
My file server is a Mac Mini running the standard client version of OS 10.5.4, with a static IP, 217.xxx.xxx.xxx. I need the PCs and Macs to access its resources. It is set up to share its files using FTP, AFP and SMB. It is running the application iVPN Server, which I understand is a GUI that makes the built-in OS X VPN Server function available to the client edition of OS X.
I am currently overseas and can connect to the Mac Mini over VPN. The problem is that I cannot seem to access the Mac Mini's files - I don't know what to do having established the VPN connection. I was half-expecting it to show up in the Finder under Shared or something.
The Mac Mini has a local IP of 10.0.1.20, but the VPN Server is issuing an IP to all clients in the range 192.168.2.200 and beyond. Is this where I'm going wrong?
Should the Mac Mini VPN Server also connect to itself, using VPN, as a client?
I'm really stuck, all help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for prompt reply Topher..
I am familiar with the Connect to Server window, but I am not sure which IP I should be using. Assuming no VPN connection for the moment, and assuming I'm on a remote network, I can connect to the User's documents folder on the Mac Mini already by typing afp://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents
However, I need to ensure that SMB shares work (I know they work when I'm on the local network). So I type smb://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents but this fails to connect to the User's Documents folder.
To make the SMB shares work I think I have to connect using VPN. So I connect to the Mac Mini via VPN, and my laptop is issued a VPN IP of 192.168.2.200. Of course my laptop also has an IP from my local network. Do I need to rearrange my network order in System Preferences?
So I'm now connected via VPN. However to view the Mac Mini's files, surely it also needs to have an IP issued by the VPN Server? But the Mac Mini is the VPN server. So should I go into its System Preferences and set up a VPN connection to itself?
Now back on the laptop and I want to browse User's Documents folder on the Mac Mini using SMB. I go Connect to Server, and I guess I would type smb://[username:password]@[Mac Mini's VPN IP]/Documents
Am I on the right track? Thanks again...

HT4352 I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it? What's up with that???

I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it? What's up with that???

I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
Thanks for any advice. Cheers.

Lion administrator setting changed to read only for file sharing. Now hung machine

I was trying to network my Mac with a WIndows 7 machine and tried to have my name in the file sharing read write instead of other users such as administrator when I changed the administrator to read only for file sharing rights and could not add my name as a file sharing user with read write permissions Really silly move
I have performed a repair of disk permissions however still hung.
Whats worse is that my time machine for the last three days has been disconnecting when backing up leaving a partially complete backup. Backup failed. I also left a apple support community message a few days ago to solve it.
So its critical
Timely HELP is needed.

This same problem happened to me, all the sudden one day my mac decided to revert to the original standard root username and password which I obviously did not know. In order to change this:
1) Activate single user mode on reboot as by pressing cmd + s as your computer starts up. Make sure you do it right away, and keep the keys pressed down.
2) Where the cursor pops up, type exactly
+/sbin/mount - uw/+
3) When the next cursor pops up type exactly
passwd
4) Then you can type any password you want (now changing the root password to be what you want)
Note you will not be able to see what you type, but the text is being recognized
5)The computer asks for you to retype the password, retype it
6) Type reboot
Once the computer restarts you can navigate to system preferences>accounts> and then unlock the account (lock is located on the bottom left corner) using Username: root and the password you just set. Henceforth, you can appoint your account as the administrator. Hope it works!

MacBook air not connecting to iMac for file sharing

Hello, I have a 2012 MacBook Air running Mavericks.
I am trying to connect (for file sharing) to an iMac also running Mavericks.
File sharing is turned on on both computers. File sharing used to work fine before the upgrade to Mavericks.
Both computers are on the same network. I can ping the iMac from the Macbook. I see the iMac listed on the sidebar of my MacBook's Finder as a Shared drive.
Both computers have iCloud turned on.
However, when I click on the iMac in the Macbook's Filder sidebar, it shows up as "Connection Failed." I click on "Connect As" and nothing happens--no pop up window, nothing.
On the MacBook I am able to use Finder->Go->Connect to Server, enter my iMac's IP address and file sharing works (I can access the files). But when I go to some other local folder and come back to the iMac server, again I cannot see the files. Then I have again do Finder->Go->Connect to server, etc.
(On a different MacBook Pro on the same network I had the same problem, but when I clicked on "Connect As" it asked me to choose a user id and password, and I was able to connect using my Apple ID. However on the MacBook Air I am unable to click on "Connect As.")
Any suggestions on how to fix this will be very much appreciated.
Best,
ADD in HK

Sorry for the delayed update. This is issue is resolved by configuring my router to operate on Channel 11.
Looks like my router could operate on Channels above 11 like 12, 13, etc, whereas Macbook Air could recognise only till Channel 11.
Once the router was configured to use only Channel 11, my issue got resolved.

How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

Hi,
How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving the message that Incorrect logon and password.
(Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
-B S B

Hi again:
I forget to tell.
You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
Hope this wil help,

Dynamic UserID/Password for file Adapter

Hi,
How to use dynamic UserId/Password for file adapter ?
(Sender/Receiver)
In our case the Id/Pwd of FTP Site changes freguently.
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
>>>>In our case the Id/Pwd of FTP Site changes freguently.
but do you have those passwords in the message payload?
if not then you will still have to fill it somewhere right?
BTW
the only way would be to use java proxies and write a simple ftp adapter inside it (or your own adapter)
but this is not possible in standard I believe

Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

Hi friends,
Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh,
Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
=> Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
Call this in the program for resetting the password.
=> CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
Hope this helps.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.

Can you use Airport for internet and Gigabit Ethernet for file sharing?

i would like to complicate my network setup by using my Airport connection to the internet for internet access and then use the Gigabit Ethernet connection between my G5 tower and the MacBook Pro for file sharing, Compressor's distributed rendering, and possibly iTunes music/video sharing for Front Row.
is this possible? could i just run a cat 6 cable between the two and network them together? or do i need to get a Gigabit Switch?
i suppose i could just try running the cable between them and see what happens. i don't think these new machines require cross-over cables since the ethernet ports auto-detect that now, but is a cat 5e or cat 6 cable required for Gigabit speed?
thanks,
scott

Yes it would work. The Ethernet network would be used for local file transfers and the Airport for internet. However you will need to make sure Ethernet is at the top of the list of network ports in the Network Preferences.
