Resetting an account password

I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

If you are referring the Master Password that can be set in System Preferences>Security>FileVault, then see this thread:
How to reset FileVault master password
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772
As explained there, and for obvious security reasons, a new master password created in this fashion way will not unlock any pre-existing FileVault accounts. Resetting the master password is therefore only useful after you turn off FileVault in all existing accounts. You can then turn FileVault back on after the new master password is in place.

Hello,
We need asistance with with recovering the admin password for a UC320W system that we have in production at a client.
Unfortunately, there are no backups being done on the system.
Is there anyway that Cisco can help in recovering this password?
Thanks.

Please open a case with the SBSC for assistance with password recovery. Please have the WAN MAC address handy (found on the label on the bottom of the unit) when you open the case as we will need that. We will then need to have LAN side access to the UC320.
Thanks,
Florence.

How to recover admin password for macbook pro

I'm assuming my apple id/password are the same for both the apple store & admin... I'm finding they are not. I'm sure it was bad note taking on my part. However, I need help! I am in the "downloading" stages of OS X Yosemite. I'm being asked for my password and what I thought is the correct one, is not. HELP! Thank you!

It's the password you use to open a keychain. Normally, your system keychain uses the same password as your admin account. When you login to your account your keychain is opened automatically. If you have changed your admin password and get a request for the keychain password then look at this for the solution:
OS X Yosemite- About your keychain password
OS X Mavericks v10.9.1- Repeated prompts to unlock "Local Items" keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

Lost admin password for SPA-941

Hi all,
I asked this question on community/netpro/collaboration-voice-video/ip-telephony, but was told that it was the wrong place to do it. I don't know how to move a post, so I'm asking again here (I hope I got it right this time).
The short version: how to reset/disable admin password in SPA-941 phone?
The long version:
I have an IP Phone SPA-941 --- bought it on eBay with 'lost admin password'. I've found somewhere on the Internet that it's possible to reset the phone to 'factory defaults', which is supposed to reset the admin password as well (which is why I bought the phone with this 'warning'). However, the 'information', failed to mention, that the factory reset is protected by the said administrator password.
Now, I have a bit of a problem since without this password, the phone is useless --- I cannot configure my SIP account there.
I cannot believe that loosing the admin password could yield a device unusable, so I presume that there must be a way to reset/recover password.
I have found somewhere a tool to upgrade firmware. I tried it.... Not surprisingly, it requires the admin password. However, it also prints a very promising message: "If you are the administrator and forgot the password, you may perform a factory reset by entering ****, option 73738#, and value 1 from a telephone connected to the unit to be upgraded.". I have no idea what the 'option' might be and the 'value 1'... I also do not know what they mean by 'telephone connected to the unit to be upgraded' --- this seems to indicate that the upgrade tool (or message) isn't meant for a phone, but for some other device to which a phone is to be connected.
I also found some discussions about the jumpers (JP1 and JP4) in the printed board of the phone. I tried all of possible combinations and none of them caused the phone to be any less demanding in terms of admin password (if it booted at all).
I also found some kind of 'recovery software'. It is supposed to 'recover' firmware to a version 4.1.x (I have 5.1.8 now but I assume that I'd be able to upgrade it back again when the 'downgrading' removes password). There are two options --- one is for 'normal' upgrade (well.. downgrade in this case), which requires admin password.
The second option is the 'recovery' --- it requires serial number. When I choose this one, the program warns me that it's only meant for phones displaying SOS message... I tried it regardless (what do I have to loose?), but the 'device couldn't be found'. Perhaps there is a way of corrupting the phone and entering this SOS-state?
This, for the moment used up my ideas as how to use my phone. In desperation I'm trying the brute-force 'attack' --- I'm able to check about 1k passwords in 60s... I've found in some docs, that passwords can be 63 character long alphanumeric strings, which means that I should be able to check all of the combinations in something about 264646141002173127075674008932259139731080369373079015446569116064180887885670843 years, so I'll not hold my breath. In the meanwhile... Please help. Is there a way to 'crack' the phone and reset the admin password?

Hi Michal,
From what you describe, it appears that the original service provider properly locked down the phone. If they really did, then brute force is the only way ahead.
There are no backdoors in the SPA phones or ATAs. The idea being that a service provider can easily recover from a lost password by simply reprovisioning a device with a new or blank password. Many service providers give the SPA devices away and then sell a service, this is why they allow the customer to keep the device when the service is terminated.
I read articles where if so inclined, as you appear to be, you can set up a private network to replicate the original service provider's network, including DNS. Then, using a protocol analyzer, you watch to see how the SPA device behaves and what it looks for. I've read that if you devote enough time to this exercise, you could build the files that make the phone believe it is on its home network and then provision it with a blank password.
Or, you could buy a shiny new SPA5xx or SPA3xx phone with many more features, current firmware, and get to spend the time doing something else.
Best of luck, either way.
Regards,
Patrick

PLEASE HELP Forgot my admin password for os x Yosemite

hello every one i really need help. i forgot my admin password and i really need the stuff which is inside can anyone please help??? i already checked online but i did not get what i need cuz of this photo i did cheek the box of resting my password with an apple id.

Boot from the Recovery Partition and reset your password from there.
Here’s how:
1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you either see an Apple Logo with a loading bar or a spinning gear.
After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
3/ Find the menu called “utilities” in the top left corner of your computer’s display. It’s in between the menus “edit” and “window” Don’t be confused with the menu called “os x utilities”
Choose Terminal. A somewhat old-fashioned looking window will pop up, waiting for a text command from you. This is the Terminal.
After the # type: resetpassword and press return. Note that there is no space between ‘reset’ and ‘password’
What you’ll see next is an rectangular window that gives you the option to reset passwords. Set a new password for all the users that you need.
We’re ready to reboot your Mac now. Click on the Apple Menu and choose “startup disk” Choose to boot from “Macintosh HD” Please let us know if this solved your issue, or if the steps above did not work, or could not be performed for some reason.

How to reset the admin password for Mac OSX 10.5.8

I have a 2008 Macbook Leopard version of the Mac OSX 10.5.8. My DVD optical drive does not open, and I need to reset the admin password because we have forgotten what it is. Wondering if it is possible doing it at home some step by step process I am fine with deleting all the contents saved on the macbook as well.

Not without the optical drive. You would need to insert the install disc to reset the admin password.
But you may be able to do this in single user mode > 10.5: Reset a user's password in single user mode - Mac OS X Hints

How to configure admin password for app server 9

hi all,
i'm new to java EE and i'm having trouble configuring the admin password. i need the password when i'm running "ant create-tables".
i've gone to '<install>\javaeetutorial5\examples\bp-project\build-properties' and changed a few properties, eg
javaee.server.username=admin
AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=charlesdds
and i've edited the following file and set the password to 'charlesdds' -
"javaee.server.passwordfile=${javaee.tutorial.home}/examples/common/admin-password.txt"
when i run "ant create-tables", it says i need to specify the password in the "bp-project\build-properties" file..... which i thought i've just done.
can anyone help
thanks in advance
mat

Make sure that the file ${javaee.tutorial.home}/examples/common/admin-password.txt includes/contains the following line
AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=charlesdds.
Also make sure if you have build.properties under user directory with a different value for AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD.
