Unable to Change Admin Password

Hello,
Since our ECC system's Admin password has expired, I tried using Emergency user (SAP*) to set the things right. When I tried to reset the Admin Password using the option Security Provider --> User Management in Visual Admin, I got the error "Unable to change password !".
This is really hampering our development process as the deployment couldn't be done without the Admin password. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Bala

Hi Bala,
Please try the following and hope it helps:
- deactivate sap*
- restart system
- goto url http://<server>:<port>/useradmin
- prompts that administrator password has expired, enter new password here

I am trying to create a master password on a new machine, but all I get when I hit enter is this message: "Unable to change Master Password".

Pretty much as per the question, when I try and set up a master password, the error message says "Unable to change Master Password". There isn't one to start with, so I'm just wanting to set one for the first time.

Did you copy any files from another computer to the profile folder on that new computer?
Do you already have saved passwords?
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If you haven't then try to delete the key3.db file and possibly logins.json and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.
Note that all saved passwords are lost when you delete these files.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

I recently inherited a power mac from my dad how do i change admin passwords and such so I can use it

I recently inherited a power mac from my dad how do i change admin passwords and such so I can use it?

And if you can't log into the machine at all, you'll need:
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.
You'll need a system recovery or Mac OS X install disc. Don't drop your Dad's user account, though. If he's got any serialized software, it may not function for all users on the machine, and you may need to go back to his account.

Unable to change user password (OD-Master)

Hi!
Running a xserve with 10.9.5 as an OD-Master with more than 1000 users I realized that I cannot change their passwords anymore.
I'm using WorkgroupManager, and get the following message:
"In order to set the password of a a user with an Open Directory Password, your own password type must be Open Directory. Administrators with other password types cannot set the password of a user with an Open Directory password."
In the server.app I cannot change the password too without any error-message. The dialog is just not disappearing.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Peter

Well I had exactly the same problem here with OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks Server and Security Update 2015-004 applied.
I tried several things (rekerberize my server, reset my Open Dir Admin password) but finally what worked for me:
I renewed my Certificate with Server.app > Certificates > double click on your certificate > a new window opens with the certificate > click "Renew..." > then "OK"
After that I could create a new user with a password with "Server.app" without trashing my whole OD-Master :-)
Also what could help: In "Workgroup Manager.app" > try to login with a local admin credential > then click on the right "Lock" icon > and authenticate
with the "OpenDir-Admin" credential so that you will see "Authenticated as myopendiradmin to directory; /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1
hope this helps

I got my mac from granddaughter.need help to change admin password

i just got my mac from granddaughter. i need help to change the admin password. she has no clue what i am talking about when i ask for the password. please help me. i can't even install my tiger replacement cd until i change the admin password. thanks for your help. lee

Hi, Lee. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From this Apple Knowledge Base article:
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.
Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the disc yet.
Note: The default keyboard layout is U.S. English while started from the installation disc. If you use a keyboard layout other than U.S English, use the Input menu (the flag icon on the right side of the menu bar) to select the desired layout before typing a new password.
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Select the user name of your original administrator account.
Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.

Unable to change APPS password using FNDCPASS

Hi All,
Having issues with changing APPS password using FNDCPASS utility. Trying this on Windows 2003 with 11.5.10.2 VISION instance.
The command given is:
FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager SYSTEM APPLSYS WELCOME
Here is the text from the log file:
APP-FND-01502: Cannot encrypt application ORACLE password
Cause: Application Object Library was unable encrypt your ORACLE password.
Action: Contact your support representative. (ORACLEUSER=APPS_SERV)
Not sure how to resolve this issue. Any help, pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Jags

It worked. Thanks a lot for the pointers. Never expected that the UTF8 would be an issue for changing the APPS password.
What I did to resolve:
(1) Stopped all Oracle windows services
(2) Updated the NLS_LANG value(all appearances) in registry to WE8ISO8859P1
(3) Started Database Listeners
(4) Executed FNDCPASS
(5) Updated WDBSVR.APP
(6) Updated CGICMD.DAT
(7) Updated concurrent manager passwd using CCMSETUP
(8) Updated the NLS_LANG value(all appearances) in registry to UTF8
(9) Restarted all Oracle windows services

Unable to reset admin password

Hope to get some help as this is driving me crazy.
I purchased a used iMac. It has the latest V. of Snow Leopard installed. Wanted to install Mavericks but it won't accept the Admin password. (There was none) I booted from the original Snow Leopard disk and made a password. Should have done it, but it still wouldn't accept it. Went back and reset the firmware password also. Still won't accept it.
Next I tried to reset from System Pref's > Accounts but it also wants the password. Oddly enough, after setting the new password the computer requires it for startup and does accept it there. Why would it recognize the password for startup but nowhere else.
Now, a new problem popped up; I can't boot up with the Snow Leopard original installation disk either by depressing the "C" key, or holding down "Options". The C key does nothing and the computer simply starts and asks for the password, then goes on to complete the opening. The option key brings up a gray screen with the symbol of a lock and a text entry space below that with an arrow pointing to the right. It doesn't allow anything to be entered however, and it's necessary to shut down the computer by holding in the start button as there is no other way to get out of it.
The internal superdrive works properly, and I also tried an external superdrive which works fine. The disk shows up on my desktop just fine so the drives are working, but beyond that nothing can happen as it asks for a password I seem not to have.
I've run completely out of ideas and none of the usual suggestions here are in the least bit useful. If you have any ideas please don't just repeat the stuff Apple suggests as none work. I evidently need some way to start from scratch that doesn't require the password at all.
Ted

Sounds like the previous owner enabled a firmware password. Power the machine down, remove one or more RAM modules, restart, and that should allow you to boot with the install disc. Once up an running, replace the removed RAM modules.

Issue at change admin password

Hi Guys,
All in my environment works well I have APEX 4.0.2 installed on a WLS 10.3.5. I have ended my developments and a user tell me that the password for the URL
http://app88:37001/apex/apex_admin is not working. So I follow a note in support to change it.
I alter the password of the APEX_04000, and I use the script apxchpwd.sql.
Then I work and all was ok.
After 1 hour the same user report me that the URL to access to the applicaton (http://app88:37001/apex) showed the error:

So I unlocked the passwords of APEX_04000, APEX_PUBLIC_USER and FLOWS_FILES to the same. ALso change the java size. After all I got the following error:
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
Any help will be appreciated?

Hi Olga,
I alter the password of the APEX_04000, and I use the script apxchpwd.sql. As far as I know, this script doesn't change anything concerning the database users. It just resets the password for the ADMIN user of the APEX internal workspace ("APEX_ADMIN").
So the root cause for the stack trace you see, which is
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28000: the account is lockedmust be located somewhere else...
So I unlocked the passwords of APEX_04000, APEX_PUBLIC_USER and FLOWS_FILES to the same.Usually you'll just use APEX_PUBLIC_USER with your APEX Listener, so you don't need to unlock the others. I'm not sure what locked APEX_PUBLIC_USER on your system. Possibly you haven't disabled password aging and the account got locked because the password change didn't happen in time.
If you chose a different password than the one you configured your APEX Listener with, you'll have to reconfigure it. To do that, you can either edit or delete the apex-config.xml that your APEX Listener is configured to use. Deleting would let you re-run */apex/listenerConfigure* , i.e. you start with a fresh configuration. If you prefer to just reset the password, you can simply put the new password into the corresponding entry. Since you probably don't want to encrypt the password yourself, you can simply use the plain password and put a ! in front of it, e.g.
<entry key="apex.db.password">!newpassword</entry>The APEX Listener will take the passoword and store the encrypted value into the file upon the first start after the change.
You need to restart the APEX Listener in either case.

Unable to Change the password - Oracle Application Users Form

Hi All,
In our PROD instance , I could see that many users are unable to login to system and we are unable to re set the password for these users. In Users for the password filed is grayed out for these customers.

Could you please tell me , what could be the reason for this ?
And how can i Fix this ?
Thanks,

Change admin passwords as root?

Due to losing some key personnel who had access to our administrator passwords, we need to change all of them. Does anybody know if this might could be by SSHing to the machines and changing them as root, or some such?
I realize I'm probably out of luck, but it sure would be nice to have a way to change them without having to touch every stinking machine!
I also cross-posted this to the ARD forum, in hopes that might be an option. Any suggestions welcome!

Have you tried just using the "passwd" command on each host? It would go something like:
- ssh to host as root
- issue the command "passwd <admin user>" from the shell
- reset the password
However, this still means you have to touch each host. This will always be true unless you have some sort of centralized user management system...

Changing admin passwords using ARD/root?

Due to losing some key personnel who had access to our administrator passwords, we need to change all of them. Does anybody know if this might could be done by sending some UNIX command as root to the necessary machines?

I am unable to change the admin account

Hello, I'm unable to change my Administrator password.
Computer model: MacBook Pro (mid 2012), not Retina.
OS: OS X Mountain Lion.
There's a network account server in my settings.
Admin account info: Admin, Managed, Mobile.
I have tried to change the password via System Settings and via Terminal (passwd command line).
When I try to change it in the Terminal, it just echoes out "passwd: general failure".

Oh, okay.
I was once able to change the password, and then I changed the password of my account in their Microsoft Exchange Server.
And after that, I was unable to change the password on my Mac.

Admin account does not have access to change a password in the CMC

We are on bo xi r2, and we are set up with Windows AD authentication for our users to log in with, but when I add an enterprise login for a user and I go to set the password, I get "You do not have permission to perform the request action. Please contact your system administrator." I am logged in as administrator. Has anyone come accross this before?
Thanks,
Jessa

Hi,
There are lots of Knowledge Base Articles with this description, for example:
1298962 - Error:"You do not have permission to perform the requested action. Please contact your system administrator for details"
1473840 - Error :"You do not have permission to perform the requested action" when trying to change password at first login
1630679 - Unable to reset admin password for Enterprise
1239840 - Administrator profile cannot change a user password in Central Management Console (CMC).
