Server password not recognised?

I am trying to remotely configure my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. At the first login in Server Admin, I am asked for a password. Server guide advises me that the password is the fist 8 digits of the serial number but this is not recognised.
Can anyone help?

Hi Rgould413,

  • Server does not recognise user and password

    unable to email photos. server does not recognise user and password

    This is a quite interesting issue. Perhaps it may help if we start by trying to understand what caused the issue and then we will consider how you might recover from it.
    One of the things that Cisco wanted to do as they released version 15.0 was to improve the security of passwords in IOS. So they designed and implemented a new "type 4" password which they intended to replace the previous "type 5" password used for enable secret or for username secret passwords. So in those versions of 15.0 if you configure enable secret or username secret for passwords the IOS would create the new type 4 password.
    Then you reacted to some problem and loaded an older version of IOS. 12.2(55) does not understand the type 4 passwords. So as your switch booted on this version of code and it read lines in the startup config that had type 4 passwords it did not understand them and marked them as invalid input. So the result is that your switch does not have an enable secret and perhaps usernames do not have passwords.
    I do not know if you will be able to recover without doing password recovery but I have a suggestion which you can try. See if you can login on the console. It may depend on how your switch was configured whether it will let you do that and whether it will let you get to enable mode on the console. The default behavior was to allow the console to get to enable mode without a password. If your configuration includes aaa authentication enable default enable then the console may not work and in that case I believe that your only alternative will be password recovery.

  • Email server does not recognise username/password combination.

    When emailing photos from iPhoto I get a message saying the email server did not recognise my username or password combination.
    I've tried selecting both my @me and @hotmail addresses and the same message appears. I'm also unable to email myself from iPhoto.
    I've also tried emailing the photos from my Mail - but the iPhoto application uploads, rather than giving me the option to select individual images. I don't have any problems sending and receiving normal messages in Mail, and I have checked that my password/Apple ID is correct.
    I'm clearly missing the blatently obvious here ... so any words of wisdom will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks ... I'll have a go at deleting the account and re-entering it.
    To clarify - when using Mail, I have clicked on the Media Browser (top right), where my Iphoto images appear with a scroll bar. When I click on an image, a box appears with the image and a 'Play' button (as if It's a movie clip - which it isn't). I'm unable to attach it to the message.
    As an alternative, I've also tried clicking on Attachment ... but when I click on iPhoto, the application logo uploads as the attachment. I can't fathom how to select individual images.
    Does that make any sense ...?
    Needless to say, I'm new to iMac.

  • For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

    For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised  by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

    I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

  • HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

    Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.  My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it. 

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

    LarryHN I not understand your advice

    EMail>

  • Just purchase ipad3 trying to play from favorites in you tube but can't set up a play list, username /password not recognised, tried some apps like SoundBox but same issues, can anybody help?

    Just purchase ipad3, trying to play you tube favorites but can't set up a play list (username /password not recognised)
    Tried downloading apps such as SoundBox but no joy
    Can anybody help?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • IPad won't send emails but iPhone does. iPad message says server does not recognise email address resetting account makes no difference what else can I try?,

    My iPad won't send emails despite identical settings with iPhone which does work. " server does not recognise email address" resetting account fails to solve issue. What else can I try?

    Have you checked ALL the settings including the port assignments? Easiest way to get those back to is to delete the email account from the iPad then redo the email account. Usually the ISP providing the email account will have instructions on their web site.

  • Problem sending E mails advises :server does not recognise my E Mail address"

    When trying to send an E mail from my I Pad within reach of of my wifi router the mail is rejected by saying the server does not recognise my E mail address I have not experienced this before & would appreciate any advice to remedy the problem.Also the mail is sent to my SENT BOX & I cannot do anything with it other than delete.

    it seems that after a upgrade these days you get problems ???
    Sadly so far too often.
    Since it's on more than one, I think you should contact BT, there are several 5.7.1 meanings...

  • ICal server did not recognise username or password

    Hi,
    I have just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on my 2Ghz Intel Core Duo Macbook.  I have also upgraded to iCal 4.0.4.  When I run iCal I get this error message
    The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “*****@mac.com.” Make sure you enter them correctly. 
    When running Leopard and the previous iCal version I did not have this problem.
    I can successfully log into the Calendar function using Mobile Me.  I have kept my ****@mac.com mobile me address, so that my correspondents did not have to change their address books.  I now seem to have two identical Calendars in iCal one to ***@mac.com and one to ***@me.com.  Could this be part of the problem?
    As always your advice will be treasured.
    Regards
    Dick

    Did this, hope it has resolved the isssue.
    Select problem calendar, right click it, select account details, cleared and re-input password.
    Still puzzled why I have ***@mac.com and ***@me.com calandars.

  • Admin Server password not working

    Running Netscape Directory Server 4.1 on Solaris 9.
    I see this:
    [root@arthur]> ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w ******** -b o=netscaperoot "cn=admin-serv-arthur" passwordexpirationtime
    cn=admin-serv-arthur, cn=Netscape Administration Server, cn=Server Group, cn=arthur.cusys.edu, ou=cusys.edu, o=NetscapeRoot
    passwordexpirationtime=20060215123431
    But when I try to modify via:
    [root@arthur]> ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w ******** -f pwexptime.ldif
    where pwexptime.ldif is:
    dn: cn=admin-serv-arthur, cn=Netscape Administration Server, cn=Server Group,
    cn=arthur.cusys.edu, ou=cusys.edu, o=NetscapeRoot
    chnagetype:modify
    replace:passwordexpirationtime
    passwordexpirationtime: 20090215123431
    I get:
    modifying entry cn=admin-serv-arthur, cn=Netscape Administration Server, cn=Server Group,cn=arthur.cusys.edu, ou=cusys.edu, o=NetscapeRoot
    ldap_modify_s: Object class violation
    I can't find passwordexpirationtime as an attribute for any of the associated admin-serv-arthur object classes, thus the object class violation. Then where did it come from in the ldapsearch above?
    How do I change this passwordexpirationtime attribute?

    What about changing the password of this account itself.
    AFAICR (as this werver is quite out-of-date) passwordexirationtime is a operational attribute set by the server itself.
    Read out userpassword with ldapsearch.
    use ldapmodify to changeit to some value
    use ldapmodify again to set it back to the old value.
    General advice:
    It seems you�re using a password policy.
    As this old server does not have scoped password policies (like the new server does) you should set up a separate Directory Server instance which holds the "o=netscapeRoot" tree. This one is called the configuration directory server - and it's best practice to have it as a different instance.
    -Bernhard
    Of course ugrading to Directory Server 5.2 is adviced as well because the version you are using is already end of support live.
