TM wants user name and password to backup to USB disk on AEBS

1) I have mounted a USB drive in the Finder. It asked for the password I assigned, all is well
2) Go to Time Machine Prefs
3) Choose the remote USB disk as the target
4) Then Time Machine brings up a dialog asking for a username and password so that "Time Machine can access the file server "Airport Extreme.""
What user name and password is it looking for? I don't have any associated with the AEBS. There is the password for the AEBS itself, there is the disk password and the network password. But no user names. I didn't choose accounts when I setup the disk, I chose disk password.
Nothing I have tried has worked, not the admin accounts on my computer or the password for the base station. AppleCare says this is unsupported and they aren't trained on it ... just trying to find out what I have misconfigured.
thanks for any help. Google hasn't been to helpful or I haven't come up with the correct phrasing yet.

By more trial and error I discovered the solution was username="Administrator" and password was the password for the disk or the network, not sure as both are the same.

How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

Does Firefox have a feature like the software named Robo-form, where like if you wanted to go to your gmail, you could click on one thing, and not have to inter user name and password every single time?

Some times in Firefox I see pop ups where Firefox is allowing you to make Firefox remember a password or some such thing like that.
I want to go to an account or web site where I have already registered, type in my user name and password and then before I log in, have Firefox remember my log in information, so that in the future I could go to a folder let's say, that has a list, and just click on the one item, spending less time logging in at places.
Is this something Firefox does, or do I have to say, use a software like Robo-form?

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Remembering+passwords

I'm on a web site that requires a user name and password to enter the site., but Firefox has never asked me if I want to save this info. Is it possible to do this even though Firefox never asked me?

This is the only site that Firefox has not asked me to save user name and password.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

Hi all,
My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
Help! and Thanks.

Norman & Harry,
Consider the following:
*_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
Select the TC on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
*I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
*It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
Click the "File Sharing" tab.
Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
If you have made any changes then click "Update".
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!

P1102W wifi connection requires SSID pluss user name and password to connect

Hello Community.
I had investigate how to connect my P1102w printer to the wifi and it is easy but here is the problem.
I have no problem searching with Printer wifi config my WIFI SSID. (usb printer plugged) but My connection requieres when SSID found a user and a password.
I have not find where does the printer have the option to set up my user name and password to login in the needed SSID.
Can sombody help me.
Thanks.

Yes, but the method is to simply connect the TC to the computer by ethernet and use it on a separate network. That is the best way to do it.. but you can also do the same thing better and easier with an external hard disk plugged in. For a desktop computer this is a better solution in a way. You will only be using the TC for Time Machine backups anyway.
If you want to continue to use the TC.. then the actual network settings I put in this thread with a whole series of pictures.

If you cannot follow any of that just ask.

Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
* https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

PL/SQL Function to check user name and password

Hi,
I am new to PL/SQL. I have a table that stores user name and password. I want to write a PL/SQL function that checks if the entered user name and password is correct, by validation against the values in the table... Can someone help me with the code? Both user name and password is varchar2

First of all, I believe you mean a procedure that would check the application username and password. Fot, if you mean a PL/SQL procedure, that runs in the database, and that means it has to be executed after the client application is connected to the database.
Maybe you need a procedure like this:
procedure check_pass(p_user varchar2, p_pass varchar2) is
pragma autonomous_transaction;
v_passwd varchar2(200);
begin
select passwd into v_passwd
from password_table
where user_name=p_user;
if v_passwd!=p_pass then
update password_table set
last_unsucc_logon=sysdate
,unsucc_logon_n=nvl(unsucc_logon_n,0)+1
where user_name=p_user;
commit;
raise_application_error(-20101,'Invalid username/password!');
end if;
exception
when no_data_found then
raise_application_error(-20101,'Invalid username/password!');
end;
Study this piece of code and see if this will do.

AppleScript: Waiting for a user to enter user name and password

I'm currently working on an AppleScript designed to automate binding a computer to Active Directory and another script to install a login certificate. While you can create a UNIX shell script for the Active Directory binding, I found that you have to have your user name and password in the script itself and this system will be deployed by multiple people.
So instead I'm doing an GUI Automation AppleScript of Directory Utility. What I'd like to do is have the script to wait for the admin user (who will be remoting in by ARD) to enter their Network user and password, click okay and then continue the script to quit the program and then run a self-destruct (which I'd also appreciate any advice about doing in AppleScript)
Here's the script so far, which I've set up successfully:
activate application "Directory Utility"
tell application "System Events"
click text field 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of group 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
click button 1 of group 1 of group 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"

click button 1 of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
click row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"

<<WAIT LINE HERE FOR NETWORK ADMIN AND AND PASS, THEN USER WILL CLICK OKAY, THEN CONTINUE SCRIPT>>
<<QUIT ACTIVE DIRECTORY>>
<<SELF-DESTRUCT>>
end tell
It isn't a real command prompt like if you're changing System Preferences or something. It's a specialized prompt specifically for Directory Utility. However, I do need to know how to make AppleScript wait for a password for a standard Password Prompt for adding a certificate to the login keychain through Keychain Access. I've also done pretty much the same thing as above for that script.
Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated.

Yeah, I know GUI Scripting is not the best way, but I couldn't find a successful variable system for the following script. The other issue is that I'd prefer to send this by ARD and have ARD ask for a User Name and Password, but I've found there's no way to do that. Then again, I can't send the AppleScript purely remotely either.
What I mean by self-destruct is simply I only want the Active Directory binding script to run once upon login to the primary admin user and then delete itself so it doesn't get run again. The login certificate script I want to run once on each new user who logs in (so I'll likely be putting it in the "User Template") and then delete itself so it doesn't run the next time they log in. I can't figure out any way to hit those buttons through a shell script.
Here's the original UNIX shell script: (This is what I'm using temporarily until I figure out a solution that doesn't require my user name and password to be embedded)
#! /bin/bash
MACNAME=$(scutil --get ComputerName)
dsconfigad -add "CORP.DOMAIN.NET" \
-username USER \
-password PASS \
-computer $MACNAME \
-mobile disable \
-mobileconfirm disable \
-localhome enable \
-useuncpath enable \
-shell /bin/bash \
-ou OU=Macs,CN=Computers,DC=corp,DC=DOMAIN,DC=net \
-force \
-localpassword "PASSWORD" \
-groups "GROUPS"
And here is the Certificate Installation AppleScript
activate application "Keychain Access"
tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file "/FolderName/Certificate.crt"
delay (3)
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Keychain Access"
click button "Add" of window "Add Certificates"
click button "Always Trust" of group 3 of sheet 1 of window "Keychain Access"
end tell
Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. This is a rather new field for me and most of my knowledge comes from Google Searches and about a billion tabs trying to find answers.

Itunes keeps asking me for a user name and password when I first open it.

I do not allow apple to access my library or my hard drive because you guys are predators, and I have NO interest in using the app store. I have disabled access to the store, so i do not know why it keeps asking me for a user name and password. You have NO right to see the music THAT I PURCHASED a loooooooooong time ago. It is my license. I should be able to play it whenever and wherever I like...and NO, I do not burn and copy my music. I just want to play it on MY MACHINES. So, I do not need your useless snooping, which is probably the reason you want me to log in. Who do you think you are? You didn't write the songs. You just sell licenses. Period. And I purchased mine, thank you. I no longer use your store for these reasons. I use Amazon.

Not control-R. Command-R. Shut the computer down. Reboot it. Hold down cmd-R when you hear the chime. Keep it held down and you should see the Lion recovery partition.

I just switched to Charter. When going to Mozilla Firefox a box appears saying, Authentication Required and asks for a User name and Password. What do I do?

I switched from CenturyTel to Charter. I can't use Firefox because a box appears asking me for Authentication Required, User Name and Password. When I hit cancel, this message appears:
HTTP 401 - Unauthorized
Authorization is required to access the configuration server.
You must enter the correct username and/or password.
When I called Charter, they told me they recommended using Internet Explorer. I told them I didn't want IE, I preferred Firefox. They recommended I go to your support page, so here I am. :o)

Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

Tiger to Leopard transition- user name and password not working. plz help!

Hi all. Last year I purchased a MacBook Pro with Tiger OSX. Anyways I wanted to switch to leopard, so I did. Now when I want to install updates, as usual it requires my user name and password. But after I installed leopard, my old user name and password does not work (my login name does not even show up in the box anymore). I can not install any new software on my computer because of this so called "new password." Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because this is very frustrating since I just purchased an iPhone and I can't sync it because I need the new version of itunes.

can you log in at all as another user? if not activate root and log in as root using [these instructions|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278]. then look in the /Users folder at the top level of the hard drive. do you see the home directory with your old username there? post back with what you find.
