Used "Reset Password", now "No available users"

I started up an old G4 running OS X Server 10.4.1 but couldn't remember the user or password. I put in an Install Disc, ran "Reset Password" from the disc, changed the password for our "Admin" user (not the System/Room user), hit "Save", Quit and restarted the computer.
The new password wouldn't take.
I put in the Install Disc again, ran "Reset Password" again but now my volume indicates that there are "No available users".
Can anyone help me out?
A million thanks in advance.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

Using reset password screen in Portal

Hi,
I am trying to provide a reset password functionality to users who forgot their password. I am calling AppStep1ResetPwd in my main login page with parameters such as doneURL,cancelURL and homeURL.
My problem is that when I hit the cancel button in any of the three screens, I can return to the page where the link was given (I am passing this page url as my URL parameter), However, when I successfully resets the password, finishresetpassword screen comes up with a success message and "Done" button. Clicking the Done button does not take me back to my originating page. Instead, it is going to the oiddas home page. How can I redirect it to the calling portal page?
I am calling the password reset page as follows:
http://host:7777/oiddas/ui/oracle/ldap/AppStep1ResetPwd?cancelURL=http://portal.shopko.com/pls/portal/url/page/Vendor_Portal&doneURL=http://HOST:7778/pls/portal/url/page/Vendor_Portal&homeURL=http://HOST:7778/pls/portal/url/page/Vendor_Portal&enableHomeURL=false&enableHelpURL=false
Any ideas

I have 2 doubts.
I want to know if a user can reset his password of the R/3 from the SAP GRC AC 5.3 automaticly.
And can someone block or unblock a user using the GRC AC 5.3 automaticly too?.
I know you can create a user automaticly from GRC, but can I do those 2 things?

Hello,
What I don't get is, that why do I need the HR module (HR Trigger) to lock, unlock, password slñf service of a user ID. The HR module uses employees attached to a user ID if it has one.
Why do I need the HR module to configure the automatic request access?

Reset password of mobile managed user, cannot acces login keychain

I reset the lost password of a mobile managed user (very managed, this is a 6-year old). On login and starting Safari, he now gets a panel asking for the keychain password (which is the old password, which is lost). I tried removing the mobile account and recreating, but the same thing happens (login.keychain synced from server?).
Anyway, how can I fix this?

If Keychain First Aid doesn't help, try [HT1274|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274]?
Keychain encryption is solid; depending on the sequence which has transpired here, you may end up [resetting the keychain (TS1544)|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1544] and starting over again.
Going forward, it might be best to lock this user's password; prevent password changes.

New user needs to reset password asking for old users password

Attn: My new Mac friends,
I just bought me a mac pro with the operating system
X Already Installed and because its a used macintosh the old administrators logon name appears and of coarse its asking for the password.
I need to know how to reset the password and put my password in it without the use of the disc to the OS x.
Or maybe clear the password at startup by entering ?
(what Key on the Keyboard do I press to enter the computers system bios or adminastrator?
thanks susan ([email protected])

Welcome to Apple discussions, Susan!
On a Mac you have to have the system disk in order to reset the administrator password. You should ask whoever you bought the system from to give you the disks. Without these you will be unable to fix many of the problems that occasionally arise. At the VERY least, you should be able to get the password from the person you bought it from.
Just for future reference Macs don't have anything equivalent to the BIOS. That is a PC thing.
Also this forum is for people who want to program on the Mac a much better forum would be the "Installation & Setup" forum under "Tiger"
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752
Finally, it isn't a good idea to post your e-mail address in public forums like this. Spammers can, and do, read through and add your address to their lists. Additionally the expectation is that all answers will be made to the list, so that others can get the help as well. If you want people t be able to reach you directly, you can go to "My Settings" on the right and add your address there. It is much harder for spammers to get your address that way. If you wan to know that someone has responded to your post, you can "subscribe" using the "My subscriptions" link, also on the right.
Enjoy your Mac!

How can I get a list of users with reset password ability?

We are trying to tighten our security, but thanks to the environment we are in this is a bigger task than it should be. As part of this I have been asked to get a list of users who have the ability to reset other users passwords. there are the obvious suspects,
domain admins, service desk etc., but we also appear to have random people who can do this because of a requirement during test or development stages way back. Is there a way to get this, I looked at using powershell but there doesn't seem to be much out there
to give me a pointer, things like ADManager+ do not work, when I try to search on permissions it sits there doing nothing then crashes.
Is there a way to build a function using powershell that can do this or is there some third party cmdlet or app that will provide me this info?
Any help gratefully accepted.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, except for those default groups users, such as domain admins and enterprise admins and so on, have reset password ability for other users, we can use delegation control to give other common users permissions to reset password for others,
to view or delete Active Directory Delegated Permissions, please go through the below article:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6477.how-to-view-or-delete-active-directory-delegated-permissions.aspx
And if you were editing single user's security tab to give specific users reset password permissions, then I think we should create a script to get all those users, for scripting, please also post in the official scripting guys forum:

Can not reset password in Oracle 10g Express

I have searched google for 4 hours, now I am certain:
"May be I am the only one in the world who have this problem."
I installed Oracle 10g Express on my Debian5.
I need to reset password for SYS/SYSTEM users
So I checked online tutorial says I need to use a utility called "orapwd" to recreate a password file.
Everything is smooth since now.
When I finally find this "orapwd" utility. I type "orapwd" as a root user. Terminal replies "orapwd command not found".
I then discovered the orapwd is some kind of x-execute file. After an extensive search on google I concluded that this kind of file is inexecutable.
Many tutorials I read online specify that the "orapwd" is actually "orapwd.exe", but on my Debian system it is "orapwd" with no extension.
Any suggestion is welcome.
ps: is there anyway I can reset password without going through "orapwd" s*t.
Best regards to all who have read to the end of this post

And Billy, what makes you think Windows Administrators do not know administration on command line?Experience dealing with Windows SAs over a decade and a half.
I got my first part time job as a Windows Administrator in the beginning era of Windows 95 in a small netcafe. The boss does not pay me but like me use workstations there for free.
In the early days, I administrate both Dos and Win3.1. I do my work on command line primarily and wrote a hell lot of *.bat files. In those days it were quite different. Because administration and configuration came from a command line DOS environment. We for example never configured networking for a Windows 3.1 or WFW 3.11 client via a GUI. It was done by directly editing system.ini and protocol.ini and making the correct changes.
And this made the guys and me almost fail our Windows CE certification because the silly multiple question exam asked which buttons to click in the GUI to configure networking and not how it works at actual system configuration level. In other words, it tested your knowledge of the GUI functions and not the actual system config and admin itself.
And then Windows NT was released and command line admin became the exception and not the rule. The All-Config-Eggs-in-a-Single-basket called the Windows Registry exemplified this flawed approach.
But since Window95 I find myself spending less and less time on command line, more and more on GUI and my work efficiency increase tremedously. I can record the mouse clicks, the key presses, then covert then into a script. I can change every setting of the system in just few clicks. In the world of Linux, this is still a dream, isn't it?You are missing the point. There are a large number of admin GUI tools available for Linux. But these seldom serve as crutches to configure the system, because of a i-am-clueless-factor.
If two systems, both are equally capable. To acheive the same thing, system A takes 2 working hours, system B takes 8 working hours. Doesn't this makes system B inferior compare to A?Because of the lack of knowledge and skill of a person to do the required on system B in 10 minutes now takes 8 hours instead? Ignorance of an operating system does not qualify as making system B inferior to system A.
In past decade, Linux became very popular in the server market is not becasue there are an increasing number of Linux system administrators who are good at command line administration but because Linux is becoming more user friendly. And as a result. This increased administrator's work efficiency and the same time reduce training cost which invites more people to learn Linux.Incorrect. There is a reason that 483 of the 500 of the fastest and most powerful computer systems on this planet runs Linux. And only 5 runs Windows.
And this has nothing to do with imagined user friendliness. It has everything to do with technical superiority and total cost of ownership.
So the more idiot proof the system is, the better the system will become.No. The less idiots there are, the better the quality of system administration, the better security, the more robust the systems are.

Disable random Password generation button on Reset Password popup window.

Hi ALL,
We have a new requirement when user click on reset password tab on "Modify User" page, a pop up window will open with two options :
1) Manually change the Password
2) Auto-generate the Password (Randomly generated)
I want to remove or disable this 2nd option. Can you please guide me what necessary changes required?
Thanks,
Amit

It's easy enough to generate a random password. Use a
constant string containing your alphabet (different
systems have different rules about what characters
are allowed). Then us Random first to generate a
suitable length, then to pick a character from your
alphabet for each slot. If there are further rules
(e.g. "must contain at least one digit") then check
the password you've just generated and if it fails
the test, simply try again.
But this isn't a particularly good system. It allows
anyone to harrass a user by changing their password
if they can guess their user name.
The approach I favour is to send the user a one-time
click-thru URL in an e-mail which allows them to set
their password to anything they chose. That needs a
special table in some data base. You generate a
random token which acts as a one-shot password on a
special "change password" page. As soon as the click
through has been used then the database entry is
deleted so that the token is invalidated. You should
also invalidate the token if they log on in the
normal way.I agree that the 'forgot your password' feature is nasty. I mean, we are normally enjoined from saying "invalid user id" or "invalid password", we have to say "invalid user id / password combination" or something to that effect. But by providing the 'forgot your password' feature, it would be trivial to write a bot to see which sites provide this, determine a good page from a bad (e.g., valid user id) and then have an easier time brute-forcing the password. Sad.
On the other hand, I know personally that many companies are concerned with phishing attacks on their customers. As such, they have a blanket policy prohibiting any URL that hits a secured page in any way.
So, what to do? :^(

Issue with Reset Password from Active Directory Integration Pack

I seem to be having some issues with a subscription in the Reset Password activity from the Active Directory Integration Pack. The "User Password" field refuses to take a value from a subscription provided earlier in a Generate Random
Text activity. As you will see in the screenshot below, when the Reset Password activity runs, the User Password value is blank.
Any idea why this might be happening? It looks like a possible bug with the Active Directory Integration Pack.

Hi John,
I think this is not a bug, this should be by design because the password is a secure string. If you look for the Published data for Reset User Password activity at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh553463.aspx it is not listed there as well.
If you need the the string (e.g. to send it via email) use the
data from the "Generate Random Text" Activity.

Stefan

How to Reset Password of User while not connected to Domain using Local Admin Account

How to Reset Password of User while not connected to the Domain using Local Admin Account
(I have the use of a local admin account), and I want to help a user reset their password who has logged in the PC and had their credentials cached, but forgot this password.
In Local Admin Account :
When I go to Control Panel, users, users, manager user ; I cannot see any users in this window except the local admin account, and, so I cannot reset a user password this way.
When I go to lusrmgr.msc, then users ; the local admin account will display only.
If I go to command prompt and type "net user", this will not display any users who have logged in to the computer, and so I cannot use "net user" to reset a password.
I don't want to use any disks, 3rd party programs, or create a VPN connection to the domain. I just want to help a user who calls in and forgets their password.

Hello Keith,
I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to better understand how I could change the domain password while not on the network. What I'm getting from your post is that you:
1. Create a local user account (not a domain user)
2. Login with that local user account
3. Connect to the VPN while logged in as a local user
4. Log out of the local account and login with the domain credentials
Now, my question is based on the assumption that the password created on the local account is the same password that one will use to login to the domain account? Also, is the local user account the same as the domain account?
Thanking you in advance!

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.
Regards
