Unable to set a new password

Hi,
I have some issues with my password.
I can enter my keylock password, but I am unable to enter my USER password. When I am asked to recreate it (creating a new one), it will not accepted.
I have the window open, where you are prompted to enter the new PW
I enter it.
I re-enter it,
and set some hint for it.
But whatever I enter, it will not be accepted (window shaking).
What´s wrong?
Thx
Mark

If you have another Admin account, you can reset the password from that account.
Or, you can reset a user password by booting the install DVD. After selecting the Language, you can get to the Utilities menu. There is a Password reset utility in there.
Note that neither will not change the keychain password. You'll have to change that separately afterward if you want it to be the same. Is that what you meant by "keylock?"

I set it up on my "upstairs computer" and then came to my "downstairs computer" to synch and I can not get into the account because of the above password problem. I write down my passwords. I must have mistyped it or mis written.
I want to change my password

The new Sync version uses the Firefox account and stores the login data (username/email and password) under the https://accounts.firefox.com site heading in the Password Manager and use the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder to store the credentials once connected to the account to avoid having to enter the master password on each start.

Do you mean a new passcode on your iPad? If it is disabled you will have to restore it via recovery mode using the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 or with iOS 7.0.4 you can also use the guidance of lllaass in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634135

[CUPS] Unable to set my new CUPS server with an HP printer (solved)

Hello,
I come from Gentoo and I just installed my new Arch Linux server on a notebook with 2 NIC ... Now, I'm trying to set the CUPS deamon to share printer (HP DESKJET 895Cxi) for 3 workstations in my LAN. Before, it was working (printer and linux ... has never been very good...). But now, I'm not able, and it's about 1 hour I'm looking for a stupid error that I don't know if it's important or not ...
(all is on my Wiki : http://pix-mania.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cups)
Here are a list of installed package : cups ghostscript gsfonts hplip
The printer (USB) :
(lsusb)

When starting cups service, all is fine : I can use a workstation to browse the Web Interface ... but printer seems to be not detected since it tells "No printers." when clicking on "Printers" tab. So, I go to "Administration" tab and, under "Printers", I click the "Find New Printers" and again, it says : "No printers found.".
Not goot ... so, like I was doing with Gentoo, I click on "Add Printer" ... then, I receive a redirection to HTTPS ... click on the link (or wait) and nothing happend (timed out): web interface is broken for HTTPS ... I really got no idea why HTTPS is not working .
After that, when updating the configuration (with vim) and restarting the service, deamon won't stop and I have to send a "kill -9" to the cupsd pid ...
I look in log and I can just see this :
E [09/Jan/2011:18:19:55 +0100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
I googled for one hour, but is not more working right now ...
Some questions :
- the printer is not detected? Is it because of the ACLs errors ?
- what the hell is "ACLs" for cups ? Never seen that before ...
So, right now, I got a working HTTP but not working HTTPS, with no printer available ... very useless
This printer is working "well" with cups, since it's an old model and it's a HP printer, so is "fully?" working on Linux ...
Any idea on what to do/try now ?
EDIT: after that message, I just refresh the page (I'm using Chromium) and ... magically, HTTPS was working (after accept untrusted certificate for HTTPS?) ... Then, go back to "Find New Printers" and now, it was working. Printer has been added ... Seems to be OK, but the "Print Self Test Page" doesn't work right now because of this :
Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-command'!

EDIT3: I tested the ppd from cups (and not hpijs) and got the same problem ... The latest idea was to unplug USB and plug to another USB ... and it seams to works ... Now, the test page print "fine" ...
So, I shared the printer over my LAN, and tried to print from a workstation ... it works fine now ... when looking error_log, I can see than there is no more Ghostscript error .
But I have a last question .. if somebody can answer ... When choosing a PPD file, I have the choice between 3 version :
- hpijs, 3.10.9
- hpijs, 3.10.9.11
- hpcups, 3.10.9
Don't know why onlyl the HPIJS got the ".11" and not any others ... I selected this one and here is what Cups say about the printer :
HP_DeskJet_895C_USB_ES29Z231JKGO_HPLIP HP DeskJet 895C Local Printer HP Deskjet 895c hpijs, 3.10.9.11 Idle - "ready to print"
I hope when upgrading the system, I will not get error from PPD file not found ... With my current PPD file, I get (really not sure) this error, but print is working so, it doesn't matter :

WD and their lack of support for Mavericks:
A recent email from WD reads:
Dear WD Registered Customer,
UPDATE: November 1st, 2013
As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wd.com/country/ for further assistance.
The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years. However, solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue.
Sincerely,
Western Digital
Which is basically Western Digital informing you that their out-of-date utilities don’t support Mavericks.
In any case those utilities are not the most effective. The moral of the story is: the first thing you should do after buying a WD drive is to format it as HFS Extended (Journaled) and not install ANY of their utilities but instead use reliable applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper - or Time Machine.

I'm trying to set up an iPad for work and the apple id I was trying to use came back expired. I set a new password and then it said it was invalid. Now I'm locked out for too many tries answering security questions that I don't remember setting up. Help!

I seem to be stuck in apple ID ****. First the password was expired only two minutes after I finished setting up the account and then the new password was invalid. I don't know what to try next but this is making me crazy. And I'm locked out for eight hours for too many attempts at answering questions that I never set up in the first place. I don't know what gives but something is way off. I need to set up this iPad for work but I can't get past the login.

Unable to set a new report connection to Oracle

Hi,
Crystal Reports v. 11.5.10.1263
VS Studio 2005
Oracle client 10.2, no connectivity issues
I am changing the connection at runtime to connect to another instance of Oracle database.
the report is of type ReportDocument.
report.DataSourceConnections[0].SetConnection("name from tnsnames.ora", null, "username", "password");
It does not seem to work. It does not set the new connection.
Any input appreciated. Thanks

Something like this:
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel;
        CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
        ISCDReportClientDocument rptClientDoc;
When opening the report you can use both references:
          rptClientDoc = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
                // Common open dialog box to select the report file
                rpt.Load(rptName.ToString());
                rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
Thank you

HT2518 How do you reset the password on a migrated user account? Mac wants the old password putting in before we can set a new password and the old password won't work. How do we get around this?

Used Migraton Assist to transfer data from old Dell PC onto new Macbook Pro. Data has come across but cannota access the User Account from the Dell. It is displayed on the desktop of the Mac but is requesting and new password. Before we can reset the password we have to put in the old password. We have put in the old password but it doesn't work and therefore we can't reset the password and get into the User Account.
How do we get around this problem so that we can access the User Account.
Although the data has transferred we cannot see our contacts transferred from Outlook into Mail. We are wondering if they are contained within our User Account, but can't find out until we can access the it?
Help wold be much appreciated.

Unable to set a new value in an extended property from within a For Each Loop

Setting a new value in an extented property fails when the property is dereferenced within a For Each loop usin the item iterator. However, if you use the First or Last Iterators from the Find Targets activity works fine.
The error message is : "Setting a value for this object type is not allowed"
I believe this is a defect, can you please confirm

Looks like a bug that needs to be reported.
While we are figuring out the issue you can work around the bug.
Add another "Find Targets" inside the loop, and use the ID of the current item in the loop to find the target (again) by ID.
And then use Set Variable on the target that was just found...
I know... Not an ideal workaround, so please open a Severity 4 bug for this.

TS1317 I can't connect to my network, but can to an open network in the community. I think it's the password, I've forgotten it. How do I set a new password?

My ISP has just installed a new modem with an ethernet connection, which I have plugged into my Airport Express. I'm able to connect to an open network in the neighborhood but not to my own network that I had set up before. I have done some troubleshooting, the modem is working when connected to my computer. It may just be the password, it's not accepting the password that I thought I had used to set up the Airport Express when I first bought it. Should I be using the same password as in my Accounts on my Mac's System Preferences?

... Would the network password be the same as my Mac's password?
It can be if you configured it that way, but since that is apparently not working for you it's probably not the same. You can reconfigure the Express easily enough using AirPort Utility - it is in your Utilities folder, which is found within your Applications folder.
Launch AirPort utility, then reset the Express:
To reset your Express:
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil for 1 full second. The light (LED) will flash amber, indicating that the AirPort Express is in soft reset mode.
This will enable you to use AirPort Utility to reset your network password.
Note: If you do not make your changes within five minutes of pressing the reset button, AirPort Express will return to its previous configuration. The light will change back to solid green (or whatever state it was in before the reset).

RE: Unable to set up new iCloud account.

When I tried to set up an account, a screen popped up saying, "Due to high demand, icloud is not available for new users. Try again later." Is this a temporary thing?

Ok, its not even Christmas yet, so is this going to be weeks...months...what? Part of the troubleshooting the sync issues (I can't sync any iDevices at the moment) is syncing them all on iCloud then switching back--so I can't do my troubleshooting to fix my devices because of this, not nearly as simple as just wanting to try a new feature. Apple big time fail.

Getting help is next to impossible. I cannot uninstall or use anything because I didn't remember my password. Set a new password and still cannot uninstall to reinstall so that I can move on. Adobe is the most user-unfriendly application I have ever en

I don't want a discussion
I want help

My guess (sorry if it's wrong, not much to go on)
It sounds as if you are being asked for your system password, the one you chose when you first switched on your computer. But perhaps you are mixing this up with your Adobe password. Easily done, but stop doing that and put in the right password.
