Unable to reset passwords of other users

I feel I am one of the lucky ones that was able to get Leopard installed and still logon with my original password. All was fine until my wife attempted to logon and her password was rejected. From my logon (as admin) I went in and reset her password (she also has admin rights), but it is still rejected. The password reset appears to take as the hint question was changed for the new one, but regardless all attempts are rejected. My previous OS was Panther. Any clues here?
Thanks,
Curt

You should be able to reset all passwords if you restart from the install disk and use utilities. Might as well repair permissions while you are there also.

    Hello Aditi,
    In AS Java 7.1 and higher you go to short link /nwa and navigate
    to Configuration -> Infrastructure -> Java System Properties – Switch to
    application tab in second section (Details about <InstanceName>) ->
    search for tc~idm~jmx~app.
    For 7.0 you have to do that in Visual Admin but I would need to read docu to know where it is too.
    But you can find that all in UI installation guide http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700001233082010E

  • Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

    Hi friends,
    Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
    if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Yogesh

    Hello Yogesh,
    Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
    If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
    => Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
    Call this in the program for resetting the password.
    => CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
    This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
    Hope this helps.
    PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.

    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

  • How can reset password of bulk users in one time through AD or script?

    how can reset password of bulk users in one time through AD or script?

    Hello Mr. Lovely,
    Do you have ActiveDirectory Module which shipped with Windows Server 2008 R2? If you have it, you can complete this task very easily.
    #First, you need to import ActiveDirectory Module
    Import-Module ActiveDirectory
    #Second, generate a SecureString which contains the password.
    $securePwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "P@ssw0rd!" -Force -AsPlainText
    #Third, find the Active Directory users ,and use Set-ADAccountPassword for resetng the password.
    Get-ADUser -Filter {Name -like "Test*"} | Set-ADAccountPassword -NewPassword $securePwd
    Also, you can review following link for more details about the Active Directory cmdlets.

  • Reset Password of ldap Users

    Hi ,
    I am using Directory Server 5.2 Version. My query is:
    - How I can reset password of large number of users in Ldap.
    Help Required.
    TIA
    Nawaz

    Write an LDIF file that contains all the Modifications.
    You need to know the DNs of all the entries for which you want to reset the password.
    Then for each DN create a record (single line separation between the records)
    dn: cn=John,dc=example,dc=com
    changetype: modify
    replace: userPassword
    userPassword: changeme!
    dn: <another DN...>

  • Reset Password disabled on users connection choices

    One of my developers has SQL Developer (2.1.0.63). "Right-clicking" any of her connections,we notice that "Reset password" is disabled. Ay ideas how this is controlled? I don't see anything in the User guide, forums, etc. Any guidance is appreciated.
    DUH. Not sure how I missed it the first time around. But I note that "Reset Password" is disabled if thick OCI is not in use.
    Edited by: user11989112 on May 14, 2010 11:21 AM

    Hi,
    You can achieve everyone can see each other by providing User Viewer admin role to each user under each organization present in ur OIM.
    Thats the only way supported in OIM 11g R2. APIs are present for this and you can automate it.

  • Unable to reset password on sub accounts

    I'm struggling to change the password on a couple of sub accounts that my family has forgotten, unfortunately when I use the password resetter it seems to get confused. I checked to make sure the security info on my primary email address was correct.
    The password resetter seems to point me to the helpdesk but this only gives me more options that then send me back to the resetter.
    I rang the helpdesk but unfortunately after half an hour of messing around, the guy was difficult to understand, and when I asked him to email me the reset password on the first account he apparently was not able to email me. It seems that customer service do not have email facilities.
    Whilst I'm not overly bothered about the sub accounts I do have some that are important to me and not being able to easily change the password on them seems to me to be a major failing.
    I realise that this is not BT and the connection with yahoo is loose to say the least it does seem a shame that what should be a very simple task is being made very hard by a combination of language issues and technology not working correctly.
    I have tried the step by step but it just pointed me at teh same failing resetter function
    If anyone in the BT care team can help it would be very much appreciated.
    Alan

    Sadly I mentioned the difficulty on that number right in the first message, I spent 30 minutes, they really didn;t know what they were doing and I had to give up. The conversation was very difficult as I could barely understand what was being said half the time. I asked the CSO to email the reset password to my primary email but this was not possible apparently they are fixing email but don;t have any access to email !
    I'll wait and see if anyone else has a solution before I call them again, perhaps a custoner care person may be watchin gand take pity on me otherwise i'll just email Ian livingstone and see what he's got to say ;-)
    thanks for trying though,

  • How to reset password for  XELSYSADM user in OIM?

    Hello Gurus and Experts!
    How to change password for XELSYSADM user in OIM?
    Your help is appreciated.
    Edited by: mc2 on Aug 25, 2011 4:27 PM

    Follow the undermentioned steps to change the password:
    1) Change the password from oim Design Client as usual.
    2) Open xlconfig.xml present in <XL_HOME>\xellerate\config folder.
    3) This step is optional and should only be used if you have a <XLPassword encrypted> tag in the <Scheduler> section. In the scheduler section, change the encrypted="true" to encrypted="false" and replace existing encrypted password with new clear text password, as shown below:
    <Scheduler>
    <XLUserName>xelsysadm</XLUserName>
    <XLPassword encrypted="false">NEW_PASSWORD</XLPassword>
    </Scheduler>
    4) Restart server.
    Now login with the new password.

  • Getting password of other user

    Hellou everybody.
    I have created an application that using SQLPlus tu run some scripts. To this application have acces a lot of users, every of them can have different rights.
    When I am starting SQLPlus in the FORMS a need to make connection string. This is my string>
    string := 'sqlplus '||usern||'/'||pass||'@'||conn||' @'||run_file_c;
    variables i gather from this:
              usern := get_application_property(USERNAME);
              pass := get_application_property(PASSWORD);
              conn := get_application_property(CONNECT_STRING);
    But I want to logon in the SQLPlus like other user not like user who logon in to the form. For example logon user is JANE, but i want to run SQLPlus like ADMIN_1.
    The problem is that I don't want to have password directly in the script !!! I want to select it from table od DBA_USERS but they are decoded (hash algorithm)
    Is there any way how to select password (OF course I know password of ADMIN_1)
    Thank's

    That would be a very big security hole. You can hash a password and compare it to the one in the table but you cannot get the password in clear text.

  • Unable to reset password for AppleID associated with iCloud

    For the last week or so I haven't been able to access my iCloud on my iPhone, because it keeps saying that the password for my AppleID is incorrect.  I've tried resetting the password on several occasions, but I can only reset the password for the ID associated with my iTunes.  I can't reset through email because the email never shows up, not even in my spam folders.  And I can't reset through security questions because when I enter in my birthdate the page says that the information is incorrect.

  • Unable to reset password?

    I have an account I haven't used in a while (like 7 or 8 years ago, definitely before eBay acquired Skype) and I can't remember the password. No big deal, just reset the password right? Wrong. Every single password token I get says it's an invalid password token. I have to use a second account just to post this because I can't post anything without logging in. 

    Accounts that have not been used for more than 6 months could be tagged as inactive by Skype.  For that, you may need to contact customer service first to know what your possible options are;

  • Unable to reset password nor to get my old ID back

    Hey there,
    I have been trying to set-up a skype account with a certain logon id, but it seems that the Microsoft account and Skype messed out everything.
    Now I end out with 2 emails that appear as they own an account but I can't reset the passwords because the password reset token isn't valid.
    Please help me out, I just want to have the initial logon ID and now I thing that there are 3-4 similar and they are all stucked :S

    Actually, I do not fully understood the issue based on the information you provided in your initial post so I need to make sure that we are now working on the correct account.  
    so next, request for a new password reset link again (be sure to use it within 6 hours upon receiving it or it will expire). Then try using another web browser to open that link if it still doen't work in the usual/default browser you are using. You can also try using another computer or device if such is available.
    If the same or similar problem exist, then you may need to get in touch with customer service for further assistance. They may require you to verify some details before they can proceed in assisting you in resetting your password/regain access to your account;
