Accounts lock after managing users through control panel

I have an account lockout issue that is reproducible and exists across many devices.
These systems are Win 7 Professional 32-bit, not domain members, and fairly locked down via local Group Policy - I suspect the issue is in there, but I can't identify it. There are normally two administrator
accounts (this might be important - see below) and one or more unprivileged user accounts.
To reproduce the issue, I log in to one of the admin accounts, create or delete a standard user through Control Panel>User Accounts, and then log off. Immediately both admin accounts are locked out.
I can log in as the standard user I just created, but have to unlock the admin accounts by booting to DVD. The event log shows the admin account log off, followed immediately by 3 credential validation failures for the other admin account
- that is, the account that was not logged in when the user management was performed. I can't imagine where these cred validation failures are coming from, but per Local Group Policy, 3 failures should indeed lock the account. Logs show
no reason at all (AFAIK) for the first admin account - the one actually doing the user management - to be locked.
If I add or remove users through compmgmt.msc, there are no issues of any kind.
As I said, I can reliably reproduce this issue on multiple machines. Any thoughts?

I've just come across this same issue on a Windows 2008 Server. When entering the User Accounts control panel, a failed logon event is immediately triggered (from dllhost.exe, logon type 2, status code of "bad password") targeting the current user
account. When clicking the "Manage another account" link, a similar failed logon event is triggered for every account that is listed on that screen. If this screen is opened multiple times, it's possible to lock out every account on the system.
It's not clear to me why the User Accounts control panel would be attempting to authenticate as any of these accounts, but in the short term, we'll probably use a GPO to prevent access to this particular control panel. Any administration of local accounts
should be done via MMC consoles anyway.
Not sure if Home Edition desktop operating systems have the same option, or if the same behavior occurs there.

WARNING -"You have entered an incorrect password 5 times. After 10 unsuccessful attempts your device data will be erased."

Dear All, Good day!I just I really need your help badly with regard to my phone. I used to charge the battery of my phone using USB cable on my laptop and today morning my phone is working just fine, but I was running out of battery so I tried to charge it. After few minutes, when I am about to use it, the lock code is not working anymore. I didn’t changed my password or done anything new and I am 101% sure that I have entered my password correctly. However, there’s a message showing : WARNING -"You have entered an incorrect password 5 times. After 10 unsuccessful attempts your device data will be erased." The screen shows Incorrect Password (6/10), but I am entering my correct code again and again and still not working. I restarted it many times and still showing the same thing. Now, I can’t get in and use my phone. I tried to call my number and it still reachable. Thank you so much in advance

To: JSanders, Hi there! thanks for spending time reading my queries and replying on it.YES! I am 101% positive with my security code. Thank God I was able to recover it and use my phone again. Just an input for those who might experience the same thing. Using Black Berry Z30, once you have the dialog box saying:WARNING -"You have entered an incorrect password 5 times. After 10 unsuccessful attempts your device data will be erased." and shows that you still have atleast 3-4 available chances to enter the code, just type "blackberry" thereafter another screen will pop-up and will ask to enter again your password. As long as you are 100% sure about your password, you'll be able to enter and get it back. Now, I am enjoying again my Z30.

Mac user account locked out in Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
I have some users who get their user account locked out several times a day.
It seems to be an issue with the keychain.
Our users need to change their password every 90 days domain GPO applied on every users.
Do you know how to fix this issue?
I have notice that most of the time this happens when the Mac wakes up from sleep mode while still connected to the network and when the users try to re login.
Thank you.

Hi Nicky
I had a very similar problem a while back. It turned out that I had another device trying to retrieve mail from the corporate account. in my case it was an iPod that was just sitting on charge for weeks at a time but was accessing the Exchange server with the wrong password, after having changed it due to the same password policy you use. Of course after a set number of tries, the AD locked the account.
I always remember to change my iPhone password now

Time machine fails after three successful attempts consistently.

I am using time machine but it fails after three successful attempts consistently.
I am using a brand new 4TB G-drive. I have tested with Apple support and they are sure the problem is not with the disk.
The error message is "Unable to complete back-up folder". System log states:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb
Error: (22) setxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.ModelID path:/Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb/Mac Pro Desktop Computer size:9
Error: (-50) Creating directory 2013-01-25-015650.inProgress
Failed to make snapshot container.
Error: (22) setxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.ModelID path:/Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb/Mac Pro Desktop Computer size:9
Backup failed with error: 2
I have trawled Google and Apple and seen that this problem has been experienced by many but I have yet to find a solution to resolve my problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
Chris

I have seen this precise problem on a client machine. It would run one to three backups fine, then start giving this error.
I tried every hint in the other discussions. I repaired the backup volume. I ERASED the backup folder and started over. I erased and reformatted the drive. Every time, it would get me one to three clean backups, then the same error all over again. I tested the snot out of the drive and there was absoutely nothing wrong with it as a drive.
In desperation, I upgraded the client to Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion took the "bad" backup set just as Snow Leopard had left it, and backed up to it with NO COMPLAINT. It's still backing up fine several days later.
I guess the upshot is that Time Machine in Snow Leopard has problems that Time Machine in Mountain Lion has outgrown.

ACS v5.1 - Can internal users be disabled after x failed attempts?

I have noticed under authentication settings for internal user accounts there is no setting to disable the account after x number of failed attempts (ACS v5.1). This is such a fundamental requirement for user accounts that I am wondering whether I have missed something. (They include this option on Administration accounts)
Does anyone know if can this be set somewhere else or is Cisco going to implement it in a later version?
Many Thanks

Hello jrabinow ,
Thanks a lot for the reply .
We already have our AD setup to lock account of users who failed 3 consecutive windows login attempts .
However when network administrators fail to login after 3 consecutive attempts into a network device, they can still login into a network device if they provide their correct AD credentials .
Is there any specific configuration that needs to be done on the AD to be aware of the failed login attempts on the network devices and count it the same as a failed windows login attempt ?!
Kind Regards ,
Moussa

User Account locked

Hi All,
My DB Version: 10.2.0
OS: Solaris
my users complaining that there account are getting locked after some time but previously this is not happening why

Most probably the account was locked after too many failed logon attempts that submitted an invalid password or one of the other password related restrictions has been exceeded. Check the profile for the user account.(FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS )

ODM User account locking out daily

Hello,
I have a user in my ODM that has his account locked out almost daily. I have the server set to disable after 5 invalid attempts. I can't seem to find in the logs where the attempts are coming from. He has even been away from his laptop for the entire day only to find his account locked. Is there anywhere in the logs I can find out more information about where they are originating?
Thanks,
JL

Thanks,
It does initially look like his iPhone might be the culprit. We have his settings set perfectly and I am getting DIGEST-MD5 authentication succeeded in the ApplePasswordServer.Server log. I noticed before it failed, it was listing DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect). It seems I was relying too much on SA's log viewer so I went to the server and used console which shed more light on the issue.
I will let this ride for a day or two before closing out and awarding points.
Thanks
JL

User accounts locking out.

I have recently upgraded to APEX 3.1.0.00.32 and have discovered that my users are now able to lock themselves out of my app.
I found settings both at the apex level as well as the workspace level to disable this feature, however the accounts are still locking out. Is there a setting somewhere else that I need to change?
Thanks,
Joel

Kathryn,
The feature has no Disable/Enable control. It can be required of workspaces (toggled at the site level) with respect to the epiration/locking policy for end-user accounts, or not. If not required, individual workspaces can enable or disable the feature, again, with respect to end user account expiration and locking.
For developer/admin accounts, the feature is always "on". If you prefer a longer expiration period, say 24 years, set the Account Password Lifetime (days) value to 8766. If you want to allow a large number, say 1000, of invalid consecutive password attempts, set the Maximum Login Failures Allowed value to 1000.

User accounts gone after Restoring disk

Hello -
I am running OS 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G4 Dual 450MHz Desktop. Recently I purchased a new IDE Hard Drive to put into my computer. I wanted to make an exact copy of my old hard drive onto the new hard drive and use the new hard drive as my main startup volume. I used the Restore tab in Disk Utility to create the copy.
What happened is that none of the user account data was copied over. Even more strange is that now I cannot find any of my user account data on the original hard drive!
I used the application "Whatsize" to figure out where all the data is allocated to on the original hard drive. It only accounted for about 25GB of the 30GB of data that are being used on the hard drive. I'm guessing the remaining 5GB of data is what was in my user account, but it can't find it for some reason.
Anyhow, I guess my question is, how do I recover the data from my user account that I can't seem to find?
Also, steps I've taken so far:
- I ran Disk Utility (from another computer using the disk in Target disk mode) to see if I could repair permissions or repair the disk. Neither Repair Permissions nor Verify Permissions were enabled for me to check - only Verify and Repair Disk. I clicked Verify Disk and got a message saying that it had failed and said that "The underlying task reported failure on exit". I then tried to Repair Disk, but got the same error. Disk cannot be verified or repaired.
- I've also tried DiskWarrior on it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Thanks,
Steve Pederson

Hi Steve,
I found the following in the Apple Help Viewer. Read thoroughly first to see if this might help you:
Restoring a deleted user account
If a user's account was deleted and the contents of the user's home folder were saved, you can restore that user's account and the contents of their home folder. Saved items in the deleted home folder are stored in a disk image file (the filename ends in .dmg) in the Deleted Users folder in the Users folder on the startup disk.
1. To open the user's deleted files, double-click the disk image in the Deleted Users folder in the Users folder on the startup disk. The disk image content appears in a new window.
2. Note: If there is no disk image for the user's deleted account, no files were saved when the account was deleted. You will need to create a new account for the user.
3. To restore the deleted user's home folder, open the Users folder on the startup disk and choose File > New Folder.
4. Type a name for the folder and then press Return.
5. To copy the contents of the disk image to the new user account, in the disk image file, choose Edit > Select All and then drag the contents to the user folder you created.
6. To re-create the deleted user account, choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts. If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
7. Click Add + and then type the user name. If you don't want to use the automatically generated short name, type a new short name. (After the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
8. Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes. You may type a hint to help the user remember the password.
9. Click Create Account.
10. In the dialog that appears, click OK restore the user's account. The user's home folder will contain all their saved files.

User account locking frequently

Hi all,
I have a application user account in my db. And this account is getting locked frequently.
I checked dba_audit_session for invalid login attempts but nothing was there. Other users invalid login attempts was there in dba_audit_session.
Is there anyway to trace this.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Prem

audit create session by appln whenever not successful;HTH
Enrique
PS. Check the value of the audit_trail parameter just to verify that audit is actually enabled. You can verify the connection attempts with:
select * from dba_audit_trail where username = 'APPLN';Edited by: Enrique Orbegozo on Oct 16, 2008 9:05 AM

Domain User Account Locked - ActiveSync

For our ActiveSync users, when their domain account expires and requires a new password, if they forget to change their password on their iDevices, their account locks out. Is there a way, outside of changing our parameters around user failed attempts, to not lock the accounts out if they are coming from ActiveSync/iDevices? Or any other creative way?

it seems to me the user is logged on to some computer with an expired password. The computer attempts to connect to wifi and thus authenticate using the users expired credentials.
Ask the user to reboot all of the computers he uses. If the problem persists, check if the user has open sessions on other machines and check the configuration of the wireless network on the client.

User account locked out in IAS Server.

Hi,
Windows Server 2003 stand-alone with IAS Server working as a RADIUS Server for WIFI connections.
There is a domain user account that keeps locking out randomly a few times a day.
This user account doesn't show up within the IAS server log file.
The Audit Policy is enabled in the w2k3 server for Succes, Failure and the events below comes up for every locking,
The Caller User Name is the IAS Server machine account.
I had to enable in the DCs the Netlogon debug mode to get the lock outs source, that turns out to be the IAS Server.
This is quite strange as I can't find the user account within the IAS Server log.
Could anybody clues me in on this issue?
Thak you.

Lost User Account Settings After OSX Security Update

After loading the security update, the system booted up into OSX and into my account without asking for a password. Other than having the same dock icons and applications, my account seems to have been cleared. I have no files on my desktop and all my programs are reset, each one asking me to set it up, find registration and serial numbers, etc. The dock was at its default position on the bottom also.
I found my user account and the settings for it under Shared users on my MacIntosh HD. I don't know how it got there, but all my information is there...I just don't know hot to get OSX to use it instead of the bare bones settings it seems to have chosen.
Can anyone help me with this? I am still running OSX 10.3.9 on a Mac G4.
Mac G4 MDD Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The system would not allow me to do this because some files were in use in the account into which I was trying to copy. I had already been looking in the accounts prior to having a response and decided to do the following:
1) create a new account with a different name - I used "owner"
2) copy all the information from the old account which I found under shared into the new "owner" account
3) log out of the account I was on (the labotomized version of my original account) and log on to new "owner" account. Verify links, files, etc...everything was good, just like it had been.
4) rename the offending account.
5) rename new owner account back to the old name.
6) log out and back in the old account name...everything was back with my original account name.
Might not have needed all those steps, but I can't believe that worked. I was quite happy it worked, but still confused at to how that happened in the first place.
