Trouble changing password

I have had individual accounts for each of my children and myself. Yesterday I tried to change the password to my account (I told my oldest my password a few weeks ago and he's been using my account instead of his lately). I went to System Preferences, then to Accounts. I clicked on the little lock on the lower left and typed in my old password. The lock unlocked. Then I clicked on Change Password. I typed in my old password, then my new password twice. It told me that the old password (which I had just used to unlock the lock!) was no good! I tried several other possible passwords in case they are different passwords and nothing is working. Is it possible that older son messed around with my account? Yes, I would not put it past him. But what do I do, to change the password if it's telling me I don't know the old password!!!! Help! And I noticed this morning that my account is no longer password-protected. I just click on my name and it automatically opens. I don't know if this is because I tried unsuccessfully to change the password or because son has been messing around with that too. Ugh. Please help. Thank you.

Changing Passwords Programatically

I've been having troubles, changing passwords. In the method DYNCredentialManagerSetPassword(), is where I get the error during compilation. Am I using invokeServerMethod properly or am I passing DYNCredentialManagerSetPassword() the wrong object? Any help would be greatly appreciated..thanks. My code follows.
* Method Name: changePassword.
* Description: Sends and email message with attachment.
* In Parameters: Strings currentPath, destinationPath.
* Returns: n/a.
public void changePassword() {
try{
DirectoryUser user = ifs.getCurrentUser();
String cm = user.getCredentialManager();
System.out.println(cm);
Vector payload = new Vector();
payload.addElement(cm);
payload.addElement("prathit");
payload.addElement("bondre");
ifsService.invokeServerMethod(DYNCredentialManagerSetPassword(payload));
catch(IfsException e){
System.out.println("Error in changePassword = " + e);
}//end changePassword

You need to just pass in the method name as a string, not make the method call.
invokeServerMethod("DYNCredentialManagerSetPassword", payload)
null

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account . Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2. Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

this says it all..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

I am unable to change passwords for any users. The "change password" is grayed out.

If you're in the Users pane of the server app, and you select Network Users from the drop-down near the top, there's a small padlock icon at the bottom. Is it locked or open? If locked, click it and enter credentials into the authorisation box that opens

Hey so I'm having trouble changing my country/region on my iphone 5 every time it go through settings Apple ID and try change the country it's just blank ? Any ideas ?

Hello Natethemate,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with changing the country for the iTunes Store on your iPhone. For this issue, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPhone:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back

if someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back? please could someone help me out thanks

How did they wipe it? By using Find My iPad and performing a wipe? If so, that means they have your icloud ID and password, not a good thing.
You could try connecting it to iTunes and performing a restore from iCloud. But if they changed password, then you are out of the loop. How did they get your password in order to change it?

How to Enforce User Change Password First Time User in Release 2?

Hi...
We discovered in Oracle Directory Manager(in unix is oidadmin), there actualy
column to expiry date.(the default is 60).
We follow this notes in metalink..
Note:176470.1 Subject: How To Pre-Expire Portal Passwords
Even though the note is for Portal30(release1), we just wangt to try it in our Release 2...
Extract from the note
"3. Set the value of the column LAST_PASSWD_CHANGE_TIME in the table WWSEC_PERSON$ in SSO schema to a value older than the password expiration period (default is 90 days) before the current time (e.g. sysdate - 100) for the appropriate user(s)
4. For example, if you have created a user called TEST
you would issue a command such as:
update wwsec_person$
set LAST_PASSWD_CHANGE_TIME =sysdate-70
where USER_NAME='TEST';
commit; "
But, when we try to login again in the portal, we can still login...
So, is the function still exist in Release 2?..
If not, why Oracle Portal throw that function away?
Why there still columns in WWSEC_PERSON$ that maybe linked to the password problem?
can anybody help/explain?
Thanks....

Rather than rehash what has already been thoroughly discussed, check this thread. This should answer your question.

In Portal Anonymous mode - Change password option not coming- login fails

Hi Experts,
We are having some application which requires login in anonymous mode. When we click the application and give the user id password, it loggs in properly, there is no problem in that.
But if the password is reset by administrator, then when entering the reset password given by admin it should ask to change the password. This is happening in normal scenario(/irj/portal), but when try the same in anonymous mode(irj/portal/anonymous) where the prompt is from the login required application, then it says login failed instead of giving the change password and confirm password screen.
Appreciate your help in solving this issue. I hope many would have faced similar situation.
Thanks
Yusuf

Hi Yusuf.
Do you use a standard or custom login module for your application?
More likely the used login module does not have a logic that handles such scenario as a change of user's password.
In this case you need to implement a custom module with a required functionality.
Best regards,
Aliaksandr Zhukau

I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.

How to trigger and change password for AD user after form based login

Hello,
We are authenticating against Active Directory with Weblogic 10.3 using FORM based security. Everything is working. I need to now change a password for an authenticated user. For example, I have set a user to have their password expire on next logon from the AD side. The user logs in but somehow I need to trap some info from Active Directory (or an LDAP conversation) to figure out if I need to force the user to change password.
Do I need to start looking at custom code with LDAP Java SDK's or can I use a canned MBean from Weblogic Server.
I am looking at http://www.mozilla.org/directory/ for LDAP.
Can I set/reset an AD user's password with an MBean like the following link?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/javadocs/index.html?weblogic/management/security/authentication/UserPasswordEditorMBean.html
If anyone has any experience with this or can point me in the right direction let me know.
If anyone else is interested please add to the tread and I'll be sure to keep the found solution(s) updated here.
Thanks...........

How to allow users to change password

I have enabled users to change their passwords in the Server.app for the Default Site with SSL, and who can access is a group of individuals.
When I load up the Server site, I am presented with
a Login to which I then add my username and password and I am then presented with
Welcome to OS X Server
OS X Server makes it easier than ever for the people in your organization to collaborate, communicate, and share information.
I Choose My Settings and the site is redirected to /changepassword of which a page comes
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /auth/ on this server.
The Directory /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/auth/ exists with the corret permissions. This is an empty directoy tho
Apache Logs:
Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/auth/
I cannot get this to work. WIki's are turned on but that doesnt work either.
If I Launch /wiki, I am prompted to login, to with I do, and i just get a blank web page
Apache logs:
File does not exist: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/__collabd
This is on a new install of OSX server
Any Suggestions?

Hi,
On the landing page at the bottom it should say "change password".
That brings you to a forbidden page?
On my server I do not have the /auth/ folder in my default site, but my changepassword page does work.
Can you check if going to https://127.0.0.1/changepassword does work? It will give an SSL error.
Then it might be DNS related conflicting with another router/server in your network
Or... charge $ 5 per user to change his or her password personally
Goodluck!
Jeffrey

Dear support @Apple,
I have tried to log in App Store with my Apple ID 3 times but never possible.
I have tried to change password 2 times.
It was successful.But soon after change of my password, I could not log in App store.
It says always incorrect user name or password. But I input correct ! Because just I successfully changed my password through secret question.
Third time when I tried to change password, the page did not open!

To post this question, I tried thierd time to change password, and before I tried to log in to App store, I logged in this community, and I could !
Then I could finally log in App store also.
But still I feel something is wrong with my connection.
Why the trace route does not show to the apple site ?

This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.
