[SOLVED] new user password not being accepted

I just installed, and I created my normal non-root user and created a password for it using passwd slackcub. When I tried to log into it later, I kept getting a message saying login incorrect. I tried changing the password several time running passwd slackcub, but to no help. The thing I find most interesting is if I log in as root, run su - slackcub, then passwd, when it prompts me for my current password, it accepts as correct what I had just set it as previously. What could be causing my install to refuse login to a normal user?

How exactly are you setting that user's shell? Check /etc/shells to see what path to the shell should be:
$ cat /etc/shells
# /etc/shells
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
# End of file
/usr/bin/zsh
As you can see it's /bin/bash but /usr/bin/zsh.

Known freshly set firmware password, not being accepted on new MBP with retina. Locked out of bootmenu.

Hello,
I have a MBP 15" with retina display and 16GB of RAM.
I bought it end August/early september and it has worked great so far, really happy with it.
After encountering some people that have had theirs stolen, i figured it was a good idea to enter a firmware password so that people can't use external drives to boot up from.
I just rebooted holding the alt key, clicked utilities -> firmware password and I set myself a password. It is one word, starts with a capital letter and has 2 numbers incorporated in it.
I then immediately rebooted and held alt again to test it. I enter the exact same password (100% sure) and for some reason it just deletes the entered password when i click enter/the ok arrow and it does nothing.......
Please tell me this is a known MAC problem, I am 100% sure i'm not going mad, but this kind of problem is annoying me! I have a dualboot windows 7 partition that I would like to continue to use without working virtually from within MAC OS X.
Thanks, any ideas appreciated!
Best regards,
Nick

Sigh i found it ....
Apple you could have mentioned that you enter it as QWERTY instead of AZERTY -_- My letters were coincidently all the same, however the numbers need shift pressed in the latter which they don't in the former.
Oh well, Back to enjoying my wonderful machine now
Bye and sorry for the unnecessary read! Hope it helps some with the same problem.

Name/Password not being accepted when trying to install software

New iMac user here. When trying to install new software I get a message "Type your password to allow install of _________ to make changes." I am entering the correct password for my user name, even changed it to make sure. Not able to get through this part of the installation process. Any information is appreciated!

NurseCarol,
Double check that the caps lock isn't on, if it isn't then try restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. If that doesn't work your new iMac has 90 days of AppleCare support. You can call them M-Sat during business hours, the phone number is in your owners manual.

Correct login password not being accepted

my son is using my old macbook pro 13-inch and he went to login using the correct security info but keeps getting denied. and clicking the question mark only leads to the computer recommending the very same password that he is using with no other options to request a change password option. the computer may still be running mountain lion, though possibly mavericks. definitely not yosemite. any help would be appreciated as i'm trying to solve this problem with him long distance. thanks!

WEP Password not being accepted

As someone is hopping onto my network I set up a WEP Password on my wireless router.
My macbookpro running 10.5.3 joins the network with no problem when asked for the passport, as does my ipod touch but my iMac with 10.4.11 just comes back with "there was an error connecting to the network".
Any ideas?

Well I've found the answer myself after stumbling around so will leave what I found here for posterity and in case anyone else finds the same problem.
On all my devices it just asked for the WEP Password which I entered (a five letter word) and it was accepted.
On the imac that didn't work, until I tried the WEP 40/128-bit ASCII option - which I imagined couldn't work, yet it DID!
What I saw as the the password was converted into hex - PLUS it included a $ at the start, something that I never saw in any of the various manuals or literature that came with any connected item.
So now I'm only left with whatever issues arrive when I get a wireless connection for my xBox 360…

Were the VISA and MasterCard issued to you by a bank in the country where you reside and do they have a verifiable billing address in the same country?
Or are these debit cards that you bought in a local store. Apple does not accept debit cards that you bought.

User password not recognised

I have recently downloaded flash player and it asked me for my password, which did not work. It then asked for my appple ID and downloaded the app.
Since this I have not been able to log on as a main user and I am now only able to use guest as my password is not being accepted.

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
If you forget the password and FileVault is on

10.6.8 Server. New Users can not authenticate

We have two Xserves (one OD Master, one replica) running OS X 10.6.8 Server and about 100 client macs all running 10.6.8.
We have a problem when adding new users in WorkGroup Manager. Users seem to be added correctly (no errors), and all info matches existing/previous users in WGM (including Kerberos and apple password entries). New users can not log into their Macs, nor authenticate to mount any volumes that also authenticate through our Master OD server. What's odd is that we can edit passwords, etc in existing/previous users and they are updated on the client end. We have also verified logs and compared new users authentication logs to existing and the logs say that the users authenticate successfully.
We are at a loss as what to do next. Any ideas?

Essbase Error 1013206 - SetActive Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted

Hi All,
I am facing the below error very frequently which is causing the disabling the "Enable connects"on the respective application. It is not happening for all the scheduled processes, just BETWEEN the last cube build or first cube build of the day.
In Essbase.log server logs observered as below:
[Fri Sep 9 15:51:51 2011]SERVER NAME/ESSBASE0///Error(1051544)
message on contacting or from application:
[Fri Sep 9 15:51:51 2011]SERVER NAME////Error(1013206)
SetActive Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted
[Fri Sep 9 15:51:51 2011]SERVER NAME/ESSBASE0///Warning(1051003)
Error 1013206 processing request [MaxL: Execute] - disconnecting
Please suggest as It is happening repetedly andcausing the Down time.

Is it possible that you've issued the command: alter application disable connects ;
That would cause MaxL to send back that message.
Per the docs:
Prevent any user with a permission lower than Application Managers from making connections to the databases that require the databases to be started. This includes starting the databases or performing the ESSCMD SELECT command on the databases. Database connections remain disabled for all databases in the application, until the application setting is re-enabled by the administrator.Link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_altapp.html
Is it possible that you issue that command and then try to do things with a username that doesn't have App Manager or higher rights?

Client Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted due to restructuring

Hello,
We are running Essbase and Planning 9.3.1. Occasionally, the users get the above error, "Client Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted", because Essbase spontaneously starts restructuring itself. We schedule a restructure in the evening. Is there a way to prevent this spontaneous restructuring from occurring during business hours?
Thank you,

Thank you Glenn,
The users say they did not change the outline or refresh the database. The log file says sysadmin gave the command, as I have copied here.
Received Command [Restructure] from user [sysadmin]
If the users did something, I would expect the command to come from them.
The essbase.cfg does not have the work sync or security in it. Can you tell me more on how to determine if this is our problem?

Hi Ronny.
Where is your UME running? On the java engine, on an ABAP system or at a LDAP?
What i want to say is that your user has to gain the rights to connect to the SLD. Easiest way is to give you admin rights - to do that you have to know where your userstore is running....
I am not sure if this is correct http://localhost:50000/sld
Normally it should look like http://my.sap.com/56600/sld where my.sap.com is a fqdn and 56600 is the port of the java engine. 66 ist the system number of the as java.
ZBAPI? I do not really know but i think you have to use a jco to connect...

Martin
