Server admin not accepting hardware id for password

m going crazy here,i have tried for 2 day every which way i could think of to get this to work.iv tried different variations of the fist 8 digits of the serial number as well as the way it is written on the sticker and no luck.i dont believe the logic board has been replaced and when i try to do a serial number lookup on the apple web site nothing comes up with my serial number nor does anything come up on any other mac serial number lookup web sites.is there a way i can retrieve the serial number through terminal since this is a cluster node with no graphics card. im pulling my hair out here since i cant get remote install to accept the password.any ideas, iv been able to get in through ssh with the serial number but i still can get in with the server assistant under the gui interface.i am useing 10.6.2 admin tools trying to access a g4 installing 10.5

figured it out, i was trying to use admin tools 10.6 to admin my g4 server installing 10.5

    my mac is not accepting my name and password for login because it is in arabic how am i suppose to login? how do i type Mark Yap in arabic, im typing it in pressing the actual letters on the keyboard but wint accept  it?

    I am assuming that you are trying to log in with the English language. If this is the case (or any other language for that matter), see if there is a button on the login screen that allows you to change your language.

  • When starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names

    when starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names, I had just entered my info and clicked on "continue", the cube began to turn and froze, a translucent screen came over the whole window and request that I restart the computer, after doing so, I got the start up sound and a message saying that OS X was starting up and then the sign in window, but when I entered my info it kept shaking/rejecting it, only thing I can think is that could I have possibly entered my password wrong twice, don't know, I'm still scratching my head.

    Do it again, I'm afraid. Be sure you set up the initial admin account with a proper password you can remember - all lowercase letters and numbers. No special characters or spaces except for the "_" underline character.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

  • Imessage is not working, it is not accepting my apple ID password?

    Imessage is not accepting my apple ID password.  I reset my password and it funtions for Itunes and Apps, however, it does not work for imessage. I have tried reseting my Ipad, with the same result.  Is there a fix for this?

    My issue has been resolved.  It was caused by the imessage server being down when I was trying to connect to imessage. Imessage is now accepting my ID and password.

    Hi birdman07,
    You need to go into iCal and manually change the password.

    I ran into the same problem when I recently changed my password for MobileMe and this resolved it.

  • "unable to get printer status" and "server-error-not-accepting-jobs"

    I've got an Intel Mac Pro with Tiger. When I accepted the latest update from Apple, I lost all my defined printers! I've re-added a local USB printer and a networked Laserjet - fine. But I also added a Phaser 850 color printer (networked) which used to work fine. It connects ok, and opens the printer queue window, but when it tries to print, it says "Unable to get printer status (server-error-not-accepting-jobs". The queue stays active (not stopped) but the jobs don't move. I've tried deleting the printer and re-making it - same deal. What's going on?

  • I have a laptop mac 3 years old i did not pay the extend warranty plan, so know i can't update the iPhone 5 because thai do not accepted a update for iTunes the new version what i have to do call to apple or make repair

    i have a laptop mac 3 years old i did not pay the extend warranty plan, so know i can't update the iPhone 5 because thai do not accepted a update for iTunes the new version what i have to do call to apple or make repair

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.

  • The report does not accept the value for apps.fnd_profile.value('USER_ID')

    Hi,
    I followed the below note and added a report to my SSHR menu.
    How To Add A Report To A 11i Self Service Menu [ID 334847.1]
    In my report , I have a condition in the query
    and a.created_by =apps.fnd_profile.value('USER_ID')
    When the report is submitted as a request , it works fine., however the same report when called from the self service page does not accept any value for apps.fnd_profile.value('USER_ID') .
    Is there a workaround to handle this problem.
    regards

    hi,
    I had already tried the option apps.fnd_global.USER_ID too.
    However it does not accept the value for apps.fnd_global.USER_ID.
    We want to call the reports in SSHR using oaf and at the same time the records that are pending for approval created by the employee should only be visible.
    regards

  • My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.

    My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.
    Vista OS 32 bit.
    Paper jams completely with either single or multiple sheets.
    No changes to the system. Plain paper feed just fine.
    Thanks

    Hi antonaki,
    Did your printer accept glossy paper before and just stopped working with it ?
    What kind of glossy paper are you using and what is the weight ?
    Here is the product specs for your printer and a list of the types and weights of paper you can use.
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
    If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

  • The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.

    When I try to install Connection Broker on a Windows 2012 R2 Server in a Windows 2003 domain I get this error:
    The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.
    Pooled virtual desktop collection name: NULL
    Error: Logon to the database failed.
    I have added both the Connection Broker server and the 2 remote desktop servers (also Windows 2012 R2 Servers) to the "Windows Authorization Access Group" in the domain according to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331951
    But it still does not work :-(
    I keep getting same error....
    Any idea what I might be missing ?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Firstly please let us know by which method you have setup RDS role. You can have more advantage and feature when you will install with Standard deployment instead of Quick start deployment. So if you have setup with quick start option then you can try installing
    with standard type and check the result.
    In addition, please check SQL server database is properly configured for RDS server. Also check that domain controller properly communicates. Kindly go through below thread for more information.
    Server 2012 RDS - Remote
    Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user domain\username. Error: NULL
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.
