T43 change the Power-on Password by itself

Hi, anyone experienced this before? My T43 suddenly changed it Power-on Password and I could not get in. I read in the internet that there's way to bypass the password by reading the ATMEL chip, is it advisable? Thank you

Error value = 73, How to change the type of password?

I want to use the famous wiki integrated in leopard, so I had to configure open directory and DNS.
Well my problem come from that I can't configure open Directory, just after creating a new admin, I have no possiblity to change the type of password, there is just the type shadow, and I know that we had to choose open directory's type.
Obviously, I'm authenticated in the workgroup manager
Which services I had to turn on to use open directory's type?
Or which mac I have to hit.

Hi
So I had to configure open directory and DNS
What did you do or not do exactly?
My problem come from that I can't configure open Directory
You won't be able to configure Open Directory to allow different password types unless you either bind your Server to an existing KDC or make your Server the KDC. For the Server to be a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center) it has to be an Open Directory Master. Successful promotion to an Open Directory Master Role absolutely depends on a correctly configured and running DNS Service - either on the server itself or on another server on the same network.
There are plenty of posts in these forums outlining how to configure your Server in terms of DNS as well as how to promote to Open Directory Master. Apple themselves make available Admin Manuals that should assist:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/OpenDirectory_Adminv10.5.pdf
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/NetworkServices_Adminv10.5.pdf
Failing this these forums (as already mentioned) as well as:

Hope this helps, Tony

Jetpack Ellipsis - Unable to change the wi-fi password

I just got an Ellipsis Jetpack from my company that will not allow me to change the wi-fi password. I have logged into the web interface and changed the admin password with no issues. When I try to change the wi-fi password according to the instructions in the user manual, I get an error message that says "Wrong wi-fi password". I looked all through the manual, and I'm doing everything exactly as instructed, I called Verizon's tech support, and even they couldn't figure out why it wouldn't allow a change. We went through extensive troubleshooting to no avail. Everything works fine, but I want to change the password to standardize it with our other MiFi devices to simplify documentation. This is ridiculously frustrating. Does anyone have any insight into this issue?

JetPack Ellipsis MHS700L - How to change the Wi-Fi password:
Change your admin password to what ever you want your Wi-Fi to be.
Change your Wi-Fi password to your new admin password.
Change your admin password again, if you want them to be different.
Note:
The Wi-Fi password must be at least 8 characters long, but the admin password must be at least 6 characters.
The exact punctuation characters acceptable for the admin password are not listed, so stick with upper case, lower case, and numbers.
Even Verizon Tier 2 support could not figure this out.
Verizon Tier 2 support has a list of the punctuation characters.
If the Jetpack shows the wrong Wi-Fi password after saving the changes using the web interface, cycle the power on the Jetpack.

How to write a pgm to change the existing encrypted password

Hi all,
can anybody tell me how to write a pgm to change the existing encrypted password.
thanks in advance.

Well, it's going to depend on how it's implemented in the current system.
But basically it's going to look a lot like the current login actions. Presumably you have something that takes the user ID and password, encrypts the password, looks up the encrypted password in the database matching that user ID, and compares them. This functionality would also take a new password (preferably twice so they can be checked for consistency), and if the existing encrypted passwords match, it will encrypt the new password and put it in the database where the old one was.
And if the application has a mechanism for new users to sign up, it'll look a lot like this as well.
But I'm just guessing. This is all going to depend on how the existing functionality is written. Probably the best thing you can do is talk to a programmer at your organization who has worked on the application, and ask them for help.
Hope this helps anyway.

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

Mac Book Pro
1TB Time Capsule.
Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
(And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

Simply reset the Time Machine.
See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

How can I change the administrators original password on my new mac pro?

Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

Does the power-on password fully protect user data?

Hi,
I am a T61 user.
First question
Does the power-on password fully protect user data, or could someone just boot from the optical drive or another source?
Second question
If I were to use full disc encryption, could I easily unecrypt it in the future?
Thanks in advance!

As mostly with everything in life, there are pros and cons related to all sort of data protection schemes. At least in therory, everything that can be encripted may also be decripted in some way, be it via reverse engineering or some other technique. - But of course some sort of protection is always better than no protection at all, especially if you deal with lets say sensible data.
The power-on password is not a full data protection at all, to get an idea of the different password protection schemes take a look at the following short descriptions here...
--> http://www.tech-faq.com/ibm-thinkpad-bios-password.shtml
...there are some ways to reset a power-on password and informations how to do so can be found on the net. Further it doesn't help much if somebody takes out the whole harddrive of your Thinkpad.
Performing a full HDD encription, via an embedded ATM hardware chip inside the Thinkpad, or even using some OS related encription mechanism would be more secure for sensible data, as long as you don't get hardware or software trouble with those parts, which are responsible for the build-in encription/decription scheme. So it's always also a good idea to also perform additional periodically backups of your sensible data, so if some worst case scenario might appear, that you are still be able to restore your valuable data.
Hope this gives you at least a little idea about the pros and cons of both of these security schemes.

Hello NJ,
I tried your solution and its a very good workaround for the workbooks stored in the Database, but when i open workbooks from file system then Discoverer defaults the export path to the Directory from where we have opened the workbook.
My clients are having most of their workbooks stored in File system & stored at different locations. So i wonder if there is just one common solution if possible?
Thanks

How do I change the Wi-Fi password on my Mac? It is set with 46 numbers and letters. Not sure if it came from the compant this way or not. I bought a Kindle and need to put in the wifi password but it won't accept it the way it is.

How do I change my Wi-Fi password?

This item is a modem, it does not have wireless according to the manual which I have linked here, it is also rather old (as the requirements for a pentium 133 and 32mb of Ram suggest)
If this is all you have you can not connect your kindle (or anything else) to it wirelessly
Get a router.
