WCS password reset
Hi all,
I'm very new to WCS and the bloke that configured the bludger has left the company. I'm trying to get into it but I don't have the correct username/password combination.
My query is: How does one do a password reset on a WCS server? Or failing that, is there a way I can ascertain the current unknown passowrd?
I have access to the actual server itself, but not the WCS application. Searching around Cisco.com shows that apparently there is a utility that can be used to reset usernames and passwords however I can't seem to find it. I'm not sure if it helps, but the WCS version is: 4.2.62.11
Any and all help will be appreciated and rated as such.
Thanks,
Brad
All,
I found this in a wireless thread, ASK THE EXPERT:
Re: ASK THE EXPERT - WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM
I understand it's the login password that you want to reset on your WCS primary for GUI login.
Stop the WCS server :
C:\Program Files\WCS6.0.132.0\bin\StopWCS
Then run the root-user command:
C:\Program Files\WCS6.0.132.0\bin\passwd root-user PASSWORD
Start the WCS server:
C:\Program Files\WCS6.0.132.0\bin\StartWCS.
If this fails, please post your error messages from the CLI.
seems to work just fine!

Password change for root user through dbadmin and password reset tool
Beginning with WCS 4.1, there is a supported method for recovering
access to WCS, if the root account password is lost. Here is the
procedure:
1. Log into an account with root (administrator) privilege on
the host operating system
2. Stop WCS.
3. In a terminal window, cd to the WCS bin folder (for example,
C:\Program Files\WCS4.1\bin)
4. Enter the following command:
passwd root-user
Use "passwd -h" to get help.
5. Start WCS
Prior to WCS 4.1, there is no supported method for recovering
access to WCS, if the root account password should have been lost.
Hope this helps!

How can i change email address for security questions and password resets
I've noticed that my password reset requests are going to an old email acount. In fact, i am not sure where they are going.
the real issue is that i don't see a way to change it when i am logged in (it took me many tries to actually log back in) to my apple id account.
I've changed alternate email accounts, but again i don't see a way to change my destination email account for security section of the account.
Also i would rather reset these via text (ATT has this option for my cell phone account reset and i love it). I don't see an option like that from Apple at all.
Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Don't want to struggle with password resets every time i need to get in.If you're able to supply two of your security answers, click here and follow the instructions to change your rescue email address.
If not, you need to contact Apple.

Can't download apps after password reset
Why won't my phone download any new apps after doing a password reset? If I enter the wrong password I get an error message. If I enter the correct password, nothing happens.
HI,
*"Or when I try to download a program I get this dark gray screen with a black column in the middle filled with gibberish."*
If it looks like this... it's a kernel panic.
Go here for help to Resolve Kernel Panics
Try downloading and installing the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
One of the fixes: -- an issue that prevented opening files downloaded from the Internet
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And try Safari maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.
While you have the Get Info window open for Safari, make sure it's not running in Rosetta.

Lost password and password reset utility doesn't work.
Kind of embarassing, but a couple of days ago I decided that it would be a good idea to change my password at three in the morning. Gah!
I tried using the password reset utility, but it would simply crash upon selecting my drive. I ran it from the terminal and it says that it's getting a bus error. I tried using passwd from single user mode, but it seems as though Apple has decided that that is a bad thing. Same goes for trying to run it from the terminal on the install disc.
What do I do now? Getting my files back won't be a problem, but I won't have the equipment to do that until I go home, and there are still a couple of weeks left in the semester. Being stuck using my guest account really *****!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)This will give you root access to your computer:
1) Reboot into single usermode (Hold "Cmd" + "S")
2) At the Console # type:
fsck -fy
- This should come up OK after a minute, if not run it again
3) At the Console # type:
mount -uw /
4)At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root authentication_authority ";basic;"
- The above should be all on 1 line (this might format it to wrap a line)
5) At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root passwd
- This will reset the root password
6) At the Console # type:
reboot
7) You can now login with the username root -
So first I was having trouble resetting my Apple ID password. Now I think it may have been deleted. e
I automatically got signed out of Game Center and Find My Friends for which I use a different Apple ID account for. I think this happened after I upgraded to iOS 6 but not sure. I've tried to reset the password on http://appeid.apple.com using the two options.
Option 1) I don't get the email verification in my inbox (looked everywhere, even spam folder. I even added the [email protected] address to my contacts to make sure it wasn't being sent to a spam box, etc.).
Option 2) I enter my birthday but I get a message that it doesn't match with the records.
So then I went through the steps to find my Apple ID if it existed and what do you know, it says "No Apple ID found".
Could my Apple ID have been deleted? I thought Apple ID's "could not be deleted"? I know this Apple ID does exist (or did?) because my last password reset was in March 2012. I still have the old emails to prove it. I'll be so annoyed if it got deleted and all my Game Center stats are erased. (I got 11,600,000 in Temple Run!)
Other information:
I do have another Apple ID account which I use as my main account for purchases. For the rescue email and an alternate email address for this account, I use the email which is also the username of the other Apple ID account I am questioning about. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but just thought I'd put it out there in case it is.
Has this happened to anyone else? 2
I swear, this whole Apple ID nonsense started for me when trying to set up Facetime across devices on my macbook and ipad and had to make new apple ids. So confusing. Anyway, thanks in advance for any insight into this dilemma.I'm having the same problem, what did you do?

I cannot get my password reset on apple itunes to start using my iphone. Tried website to reset password and asked to send email/same as user. Never getting email. Tried with my birthdate but that is not accepting. Called apple 8002752273 and guy told me Apple has had problems with this for weeks. Nothing he could do for me - i could answer all his security questions but birthdate. He said send a letter to itunes help , he could not provide. Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me? I checked itunes an of course there was not itunes email help available. Anyone have email for customer relations or phone# or know how to fix this?
"Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me?"
Where did you get that nonsense? Your involved question sounds like a hoax. Regardless, the phone number for Apple Customer Relations is: 800-767-2775. -
HT201303 Random Apple id password resets - how to stop this?
A couple of months ago I started getting emails from Apple titled "How to reset your Apple Id password" and then more worryingly "Your Apple Id password has been reset". This happened several times over the next few days and I know this was not done by accident from me or my family because it was happening during the night UK time. I reported to Apple support and they were no help, in fact they deactivated my account until I told them to reactivate it again!
To me it seems like someone (or some system) is triggering the password reset online when trying to access my account.
After reporting it to Apple it stopped for a couple of months - now it started again! Several random resets during the night and day when I know no-one could be doing this from one of my devices.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any good ideas how to stop it? Any way to disable email authentication on the password reset and restrict to only the personal data questions?Hi marky_mark_uk,
Two-step verification might be a good idea for you if you're seeing a lot of password reset issues you did not initiate:

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions
Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions? On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.
<Email Edited By Host>TheresaEW,
I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue. -
HT4798 Does password reset with multiple Apple IDs work for you?
I'm using 10.7.4. We have more than one valid Apple ID. Each when attached to one user profile can make use of the password reset feature using the Apple ID. If more than one Apple ID is assigned to a profile it no longer allows either to reset the profile. Is there something that I'm missing?
Hmm if you've changed your password and go to the icloud preferences, it normally prompts you to input the password. This didn't happen? I would sign out of icloud and sign back in. It'll warn you for some items they'll be removed from your computer, and that's fine. They'll be stored in icloud and return when you sign back in. If you want to make sure they're in icloud before signing out, go to icloud.com and sign in. Poke around there to verify the data is there.

Why is Apple sending an email to an address I can't find in my account??

Apple will not send you password reset requests in an email. It is likely a phishing email trying to get your personal or security information. Ignore the request and send the email to trash. Do not provide any personal or security information in response to the email. Do not click on any links in the email. -
Can anyone help me. I need to delete an old iCloud account on my i phone 4S so that I can use my new one. My old e-mail was cloned by my ex husband so I had to delete the account .

How can I change my password reset email address?
My AppleID password reset link keeps going to an old email address. Is there a way of changing the reset email address?
Go to your country from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or use AppleCare country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team...they can handle that for you.

I cant sign on to my main Itunes account so i try to authenticate by security question but its not a familiar one, its one that i have never used on anything but i go along and try every birthday in my huge family and nadda...so i try to go the way of the email authentication,this is where it gets a little more interesting...I send it off and it says ok go get it and i go and look and nothing. now i try this several different times and same thing but i have a reciept from 11/11/11 for music i purchased just 3 days earlier, but now its not working, so i try to get a reset on another account, another email address, still connected but not used and i send off the authentication and SLA-BAM...its right there in a spilt second. so whats the problem. I'm no expert, but theres something rotten in Denmark! I only got to get to where i actually got an email off to costumer support and that was a maze of redirects that really just confused the issue, AOL costumers call ! 800 BLAH BLAH to have the AOL overseas operator tell me I am an IDIOT for thinking AOL and ITUNES where in anyway connected likethat and i would have to contact Itunes support....I DID....THAT WHO TLD ME TO CALL YOU!!! Am i missing something...you cant make the best stuff in life up...the real shut is the funniest....I am sitting here just shaking my head...luckily I'm well balanced and basically a Whatever type but its baffling to me how some things can get so confusing by trying to make it user friendly. just have an american person at the end of a small pay line at the worst to talk to a living breathing being, instead of a computer that doesn't give you an option to just bypass and go to a person,no you have to try to reason with the machine to get what you want...lol i need some decaf, thanks A S C for a forum to vent, Keep Fighting The Good Fight!

If you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
This happened to me.
You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP.
