Reset server password/setup PLEASE HELP!!
Hi, thank for looking at this and trying to help.
I am the proud owner of a mac mini lion server. The problem is in my playing around with getting a new product (like we all do) I came across the server I have done some research and I really like the idea of it and want to put it into good use. (the reason I got the server one was because of the better hard drive, before you ask why did I get it if I didn't know what the server bit is)
The only problem is, whilst playing around I set up the server. I now go back into the server app and it says type in admin name and password which is already on there in the key chain. I press connect and it fail. ( whic is weird as I would of had to of typed it in for it to be in the key chain)
I have tried different user names as I only use one password. And still it shakes at me saying it's wrong.
The question is how can I reset the Account? Without losing all my info.
PLEASE HELP I want to use this great feature!!
Same problem as the others. I have a 2 week old Mac Mini and arrived at this point after I'd followed the Hoffman Labs (http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436) DNS setup and not being able to get past the "Available Servers (0)" problem rported elsewhere and then a subsequent new system restore. I also can't get past the:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Current HostName = server.local
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
I feel I'm at the point of an erase and clean install.

I downloaded the new IOS, but it will not allow me to log into iCloud. I even tried resetting my password, but it does not recognize me. Please help. Thanks.
I'm having the same issue. I went through the apple website to reset my password, and it was no problem, even let me update my email address and apple id, but my iphone is still not accepting what I know the password is, so I can't delete it, or change the apple id information.

Resetting admin password. Please help!!
My friend has a G4 ibook with mac osx 10.3.8 installed, unfortunately he has forgotten his password and this prevents him from installing any software now. I have read the support pages from apple which state i should use the installation disc of the original mac os x. This has unfortunately been lost. I have tried with a newer installation disc "tiger" and this does not work. Can anyone help me.
ThanksAlan....try the following.....
Reset Admin Password ..... using Terminal
1. Type.... passw < return>
2. It'll prompt for the...... “old password” <return>
3. Type..... “new password” <return>
4. Retype ...... “password” <return>
Changing the password in this way has the same effect as changing through "System Preferences".
Reset Admin Password .... using Single User Mode
Hold down (command+S) at startup, you will be presented with a black screen containing a bunch of code... this is called....... Single-User Mode
Type.....
sudo passwd username <return> ... or ...
/usr/bin/passwd username <return>
Type your already existing ..... “old password” <return>
Type in a new...... “password” and verify
Type... reboot <return>

my ipad2 is asking old id password, when i go to forget password link for that id then I am not getting any mail to reset the same. Please help how can i remove or change the old id.
You cannot remove or change the old ID. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. You need to recover the credentials for the Apple ID originally used to activate the iPad.

Hi, i have purchased iPhone 5 about 15 days ago, its working well but only one problem that it has is that some time its losting signal and appear as no serves. would you please help me in this reqard. thanks
Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal. You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
Good luck! -

I am using a friend's iPod, whose account i signed out of, and signed in through my own. But whenever I'm trying to download an update or an app, it's still asking for the other account's password. Please help!!
That Apple ID is stored inside those applications. Leave them as is and ask your friend to do the updating.

MASSIVE OS X Server crashing! Please help me! SMB crashes and kills OSXS
OSX Srvr 10.4.7 on a Mac Pro. I dont know what I did or missed versus every other server I've ever done, but I've got a major problem on my hands. Once a day my users have their access shut off, and i have to re-enable them. Every other morning, smb will crash so hard it kicks everyone off, then workgroup mgr won't respond anymore, and i have to hard power off the computer. This is running my company of roughly 23 users, and this replaced a Windows Server 2003. Not a good impression so far. I have logs I'm happy to post or email to anyone. They're huge, so I've obviously loused something up big time.
We're doing simple Windows file Sharing, Apple File Sharing, VPN, and eventually FTP. It's also running Kerio Mail Server. Someone please help me!
Here are some log examples to start with.

Mac Pro dual 2.66 Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.7)Hi Bill.
First please note:
"servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.200.250
Sep 20 17:54:21 Genesis1 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no hostname set and unable to detect via DNS, services may not function properly - use changeip to repair"
Your first issue is you need to fix DNS.
Something needs to be providing forward and reverse DNS lookup for your OS X Server.
You might not have known this, but now you do: OS X Server -must- have working DNS. You don't need to run DNS on your OS X Server, but it needs working DNS.
DNS configuration is a bit beyond the scope of this reply, however.
In the meantime, edit /etc/hosts and do not touch any existing entries
but add the following line:
192.168.200.250 Genesis1
and kill -HUP lookupd. If you're not sure how, perhaps just restart the computer.
Next up, edit
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist , adding the line in bold below:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/sbin/smbd</string>
<string>-F</string>
</array>
Of course, the text in the file itself should NOT be "bold" formatted
Be very sure to check the permissions on that file, and to leave them the same, or restore them if they change. It's really best to use nano/vi/emacs to edit the file, if you must use a GUI app, then go with TextWrangler or SubEthaEdit, both of which can be found at versiontracker.com
Let us know how it goes, and I'll send this to your email as well. -

Hi,
In that case, the only option left to try would be to remove the rtc cell - see Page 63 of your Maintenance & Service Guide - then hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
Leave the notebook like this for 20 minutes, then replace the rtc cell, reassemble and try booting again.
Regards,
