Unable to access my Administrator User Account with my CORRECT password.

The correct password for the Peter Thiess Administrator User account is bandicoot. All I get is the jiggle. I managed to change the password for the account by booting up with OS X Installer disk with the "C" key. Went to Utilities - reset password. Changed password in appropriate fields, added a hint and clicked Save. When I logged on again, the account accepted the new password with the note:
"you are unable to log in to the user account Peter Thiess at this time"...and THEN the screen jiggled.
Still no access to all my main stuff including my iTunes library that I built over the past 4 yrs.
Some weeks ago I opened my secondary acct. (Peter Alexander), which I created for house guests to play. Since I never use this account, I wanted to refresh my memory as to what I had on it. While I was here, I decided to delete "cache" and "cookies" from 2 libraries in the account. I also placed 2 or 3 folders that "seemed" empty (0Mb was in the bottom of the window of the files) in the trash. I don't remember where I plucked those folders from, from Peter Alexander acct. (If a folder is in the computer, even if it seems empty - there must have been a reason for it to be there.) Put them all in Trash and chose the Secure Delete Trash. The beachball started spinning...too long. Attempted to Stop Emptying Trash, so I could swith over to plain old Empty Trash and be done with it. Wasn't allowed to and the beachball kept spinning. This was taking too long, and I wanted to log into my main Peter Thiess Administrator account again. Attempted Restart - spinning ball. Attempted Shut Down, Log Out Peter Thiess, and Force Quit...more spinning bball. Finally I just held down the Power button. That turned it off.
Rebooted. Went back to the Peter Alexander account to finish emptying Trash. Trash finally emptied. Clicked Restart, got back to the opening window with both my accounts listed and clicked
Peter Thiess this time. Entered correct password and got "Peter Thiess does not have account privileges at this time" Tried several times, same result each time. Went to Help, then System Prefs, and finally Accounts, and discovered the Peter Thiess Administrator account was de-selected (gray instead of black lettering)?? Anyway, I tried several more times with my known, positively password-then tried some variations until the window "you tried passwords too many times, try again later".
Took the laptop to the MacSupportStore in Brooklyn, and due to a misunderstanding had the password to the Peter Alexander account, instead of the Peter Thiess account changed. When this mistake was pointed out, they investigated the correct account this time and told me the HD is dying, and that it would cost @ $400 for data rescue/retreval and a new HD. Not having any discretionary funds, I opted to get a Mercury external 500Gb HD instead. I want to rescue my data from my Peter Thiess Administrator account before the internal HD totally gives up the ghost. Suggestions? With deepest appreciation, Peter Thiess (alias - joblo22)

  • HT5312 I cannot use my apple id because every time I get into my account with the correct password, it prompts me for security questions which I've forgotten my answers.  It does not let me  reset my security questions even using a rescue email.  Help!!!

    I feel like I'm in an infinite loop.  I have all of the information correct except my security questions -- I set them up quickly and forgot what I answered.  Per the FAQs on Apple's website, I should be able to get a rescue email that allows me to reset the answers to the questions, however all I get is a rescue email to reset my password.  This is my first time trying to use this account and I can't get around the security questions.  Can anyone help me?  I just want to download some music to my mini iPad.

    Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

  • I have windows vista user account with administrator privilege. I am unable to update mozilla firefox to the latest version. It is saying "do not have required privileges". I already uninstalled the previous version :(

  • Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

    I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
    You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
    I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
    Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
    ACL found but not expected on Users
    Repaired "Users"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
    Repaired "Users/.localized"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
    Repaired "Users/shared"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
    Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
    Permissions repair complete.
    But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

    Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
    I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

  • New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?

    Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
    How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991539#answer-547878
    The server settings are given [http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/setting-up-thunderbird/ here], but the method is for Online account setup.

  • I am unable to access my yahoo mail account

    I am unable to access my yahoo mail account on my iphone 4S, i hve tried to add it but keep getting the message "server unavailable try back later"  Can someone help me with this

    When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
    In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it. 

  • Unable to log in to user account

    I just upgraded my Mac OS X 10.2.8 Server to Mac OS X 10.4.8 Tiger. I used the Archive and Install Option and selected the Preserve Users and Network Settings option. It installed, and I restarted the system. When the log in screen came up I attempted to log in to the administrator account. After I typed in the password it gave me the following error message:
    You are unable to log in to the user account "[account name]" at this time.
    Logging into the account failed because an error occured. The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or SMB server.
    I am able to log into another administrative user account, but it is not the main account. Is it doing this because I upgraded from a server OS to a regular OS? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive?  Time Machine  was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

    How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive?  Time Machine  was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

    Thanks.  I will try going through TM.  Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive.  Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
    Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means.  It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility.  Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it.  Will look into

    Hi there
    I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
    Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds.  After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
    That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
    Hope this helps

  • 2012 R2 RBA: Remove / Delete buttons greyed out Administrative users account (sec role/scope) clean up

    I am seeing something odd with one of my RBA settings.  Keep in mind I am seeing this as a 'Full Administrator'.
    I created a new test Security scope, Security Role, created a test Active Directory group and then entered that AD group as a new account name under Security>Administrative users.  I added the new Security Role under the Security Roles tab of the
    Account name (Administrative users) properties and also added the security scope that I created under the Security Scopes tab.  I was able to see all the settings I had created/exported in the RBA viewer and everything with the role worked as desired.
    I am now looking to clean that up but I don't seem to be able to.  I am starting under Administrative Users>Account name and trying to unlink the Security Roles and Security Scopes that listed in those tabs.  However, remove and deletes on this
    stuff are all greyed out.  If I add another role to the Security Role tab I can then remove that, but I cannot remove this 1 particular one.  The result is that I cannot remove the custom Security Scope, Security Role and ultimately the Administrative
    user.
    Does anyone have any idea why I can't remove the security roles and scopes from the Account Name?

    I'm able to "delete" one admin user or group (account name) from Administrative users node (\Administration\Overview\Security\Accounts). I tried with custom security role/scope etc....even the same user was part of \Administration\Overview\Security\Accounts.
    It seems something wrong with your FULL admin account ? Do you've any other FULL Admin account? If so, can you try with that account?

  • Deleting administrator user account

    I used Migration Assistant to set up my new MacBook Pro with OSX 6.5. But, somehow in the process I set up a second administrator user account. I've now transferred everything to the proper administrator user account, but I can't figure out how to delete the now unneeded administrator user account.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Do you mean "OS X 10.6.4"?
    I can't figure out how to delete the now unneeded administrator user account.
    Launch System Preferences and open the Accounts panel. If the lock at the bottom is closed, click on it to authenticate. Select the account you want to delete. Click on the minus sign at the bottom of the column.

  • Unable to access one or more accounts message

    I keep getting an alarm sound with the message displayed on the main unit that said "Unable to access one or more accounts" . I got it about 3 or 4 times a day, and don't know what it was about. Could someone help me on this. I would appreciate it very much.

    t this too from my email account. I'm not surprised as I've never managed to get this email account to actually work from the device!
    Come to that the best I've ever done is get it to down load mail, think that was the N900 not the N5800, have never got it to send!
    Sorry no help to you OP but at least your not alone!

  • I created a new administrator USER account. I deleted the original one but the process never ends. It's been 3 days now.

    I created a new administrator USER account. I deleted the original one but the process never ends. It's been 3 days now. And I can't close preferences window or turn off the computer.
    It's stays in the "deleting" but I can't cancel it or close the window.
    What can I do?

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.
