How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?

How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?
I was trying to change an Administrator Account by starting from my Leopard Install DVD and from the Utilities menu choosing Reset Password, etc. A longish story involving my inability to shut-down the computer while others are signed in but not actually using the computer. In Tiger I was able, since moving to Leopard I need to go into each of their accounts and manually log each of them out. A headache.
For right right now I need to get rid of the Other... account name, etc from my sign-in screen. How do I do this in plain English please? I find all this Admin jargon does my head in.
Cheers, SZ

You need to disable the root user. From what I understand you enabled it from the install DVD's password reset.
Use [these instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290] to disable it.
Those instructions led me down this path, I have not the head to deal with them again today. My eyes glaze-over listening to myself read them aloud. SZ

The FaceTime app on my iPod touch refuses to go any further than the email verification part of the setup process. It just goes back to the sign in screen every time. How can I fix this?

My built in FaceTime app on my iPod touch will not proceed from the email verification step of the setup process. I have tried going into settings like app support showed but when I click FaceTime it just shows the sign in screen just like before and does the same thing. Please help me to fix this.

How long does the CS6 sign in screen take? It has been 15 minutes, I have spent half the day dealing

How long does this CS6 sign in screen take? It is trying, but dark and not doing anything?

Sign in screen won't allow me into PS cs6

On my trial Ps cs6, the sign in screen when i try to open it up won't connect to the internet and allow me to open the program. Offline activation fails to work as well!
is it me?

Did you have a PS CS6 Beta installed? If yes, yu might need to uninstall that one before you install the CS6 trial.
Some details about your computer and error message will also help. If you can attach a screenshot of the error that would be great.

Sign on screen up, but trying to sign on returns page not found

Hullo,
had this issue on a LIVE instance running 11.5.10.2 (11.2.03 on RHEL 5.5) last week
Users could not connect (or work) to or in i Expenses. The sign on screen was up, but trying to sign on returned a page not found error.
I checked Apache processes and there were around 20 of them.
Apache was running.
I decided to bounce Apache and this resolved the error.
I suspect that it wasn't Apache that was the problem (since there were many Apache processes running). What was the real issue? A module?
Any helpful tips will much much appreciated.
Happy Christmas.
PS: Is simply grepping for Apache enough to confirm that it is running (as well as checking adapcctl.sh status)? Why are there over 25 Apache processes running - even when I check on an instance that no one is using??
Thank you again.

Suppress 'First Sign On' screen in OCS 10.1.2

Environment : Collab Suite : 10.1.2 on Linux
I am bulk creating users in the OID, which are subsequently
provisioned in the Content Services.
How do I suppress the 'First Sign On' screen which is shown when the users
log in for the first time ?
We do not allow access to ftp services for the users, and would
like the screen not to be shown.
Do not mind an unsupported way to do the same.
Regards
Sanjay

Using UserManager Web Service, call setUserPreference(Preference value) for the currently authenticated user.
UserManager userManager = ....
userManager.setUserPreferences(new Preference[]
new Preference(FdkConstants.USERPREFERENCE_UIPROPERTIES_VIEWEDFIRSTLOGIN,
Boolean.TRUE))
You could also call setDomainDefaultUserPreference(Preference value) to make it a default setting for all new users provisioned.
Additionally, for an existing user:
setUserPreferencesForUser(long userId, Preference[] values)
Set an array of user preferences for the specified user.
Check the UserManager javadoc.

I forgot the sign-in screen password to my Mac G4

I forgot the sign-in screen password to my Mac G4. I had some repair work done on my Power Mac G4 about a year ago. The company that di the repairs won't return my calls. I'm trying to sign in on the start screen, but can't remember my password. Is there a way to override this and reset my password without losing any data?

Why do I have the gray linen sign in screen?

Please help: Using mid-2011 Imac, upgrading to Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion (12F37), I have had THREE different sign-in screens: first Gray Flannel, then Light Blue and now Gray Linen. I do not know what caused these changes; Apple Care's tech advised: "Don't worry, be happy."
I'd be less worried and more happy if somebody could tell me more about this. Many thanks.

I have file vault 2 enabled. I do not have multiple monitors and never have had. There are no other users except myself.
The Light Blue log in screen is for users who are part of a managed network...does not apply to me (so far as I know...unless somebody adopted me in a hostile takeover am I totally unaware of -- aka "via hacking") either.
Therefore, I am multiply stumped.
I'd imagine Grey Linen is a bit of a step up from Light Blue; however maybe not in the case that a connection to some kind of "virtual" monitor might exist?

Just downloaded iOS6. My iPhone is in an endless loop switching from Apple logo to sign in screen. What do I do?

The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

After my MacBook Pro wakes from sleep, the trackpad movement (mouse) reveals the sign-in screen in little squares.

Hello there, peijinc.
I understand your MacBook Pro seems to be taking longer than expected when coming back from sleep. It sounds like you may be seeing the Mavericks feature called Safe Sleep. The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of how that feature works:
OS X: Saving energy with Sleep
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5963
If you feel that this period of time is greater than normal, this article offers some practical steps to troubleshoot your Mac:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
Although the entire article offers relevant steps, this section may prove most useful:
If the steps above do not resolve your sleep-related issue, try these additional recommendations.
Reset SMC
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Test with external devices disconnected
Try Safe Mode
Try another user account

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

How do one validate Photoshop 13. (Windows 8) Upon activation, get through to sign in screen, but when doing serial number validation, validate goes round but does not validate. Connect Later is only way out of screen. Checked account but product not listed. Installed with serial number that was sent by Adobe. Have attempted numerous times at different times of the day. On-line connection working.

Have you bothered to do any research at all? Not every app was upgrade to 5.5. Those that weren’t will next be upgraded to CS6.

Pre-populate Portal sign-on screen

Is there a way to pre-populate the portal sign-on screen with user-id and password ? We are in the process of migrating users to SAP portal, and are looking at re-directing (auto login if possible (or) pre-populate login fields at the least) them to the new site when they access the old site.
I reviewed the HTMl source of the portal login page, but did not see a way to pass parameters in the URL.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion !

Hi Srikanth,
You can send your user name & password to the portal as url parameters like:
http://<server>:port/irj/portal?j_user=your_user_name& j_password=your_password
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Nibu.

How to add a picture in Background of Sing in and Sign out Screen

Hi MOSC,
How do i add a picture in the background of Sing in and sign out screen in HCM People Soft 9.2 and People Tools 8.53.
Also, how do i get rid of the Language are from the sign on page.
thanks,
Response will be greatly appreciated!

Ha, I lost the reply I had typed up and I see Jim replied while I was writing it.
In addition to his comments about changing the file. It's actually signin not signon.html. Jim has the right path though. signon.html is the file that redirects the client to URL=../psp/ps/?cmd=login command which displays signin.html. It's at /home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.53/webserv/peoplesoft/applications/peoplesoft/PORTAL.war/ps/signon.html.
I also gave two blog posts on the topic.
Creating a Custom PeopleSoft Sign On Page - Remote PSAdmin and Hide the ‘Windows 7 is not supported’ message | The PeopleSoft Tipster Blog
The first tells you how to add the background in the comments. The latter discusses customizing the file for other reasons and gives some additional info.
Oh, I also mentioned that the languages are all in a td tag with the class name of pslanguageframe. Which may help you find it, because if I remember the language codes use JSP variables. Just edit the table structure as you like and aligning it to your liking.

Sign-on screen appearing during deployments of Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2

Hey guys,
Minor annoyance our MDT based deployments of Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2. Part of the way through the deployment its like some sort of "time out" occurs and both these OSes will "lock" the screen by switching to the sign-on view. You just
type in the password and it lets you right back in but (oddly enough) this behavior doesnt happen wen deploying Windows 7/Server 2008 R2. In an ideal world I'd like the entire deployment to run without locking to the sign-on screen at any point.
Has anyone else encountered this and come up with a workaround?

EUREKA! At last! I'm still a little uncertain as to how exactly it worked but his post resolved my issue:

Under the oobeSystem pass you will see the following lines:
            <UserAccounts>
                <AdministratorPassword>
                    <Value></Value>
                    <PlainText>true</PlainText>
                </AdministratorPassword>
            </UserAccounts>
Change this to the following:
            <UserAccounts>
                <AdministratorPassword>
                    <Value></Value>
                    <PlainText>true</PlainText>
                </AdministratorPassword>
                <LocalAccounts>
                    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
                        <Description>Temp account</Description>

                        <Group>Users</Group>
                        <Name>TempAccount</Name>
                    </LocalAccount>
                </LocalAccounts>
