What is the best way to configure password in Cisco IOS?

I am running IOS 15.2(4) on a 1921 Router
What is the best way to configure the password for the router? I have already tried once and managed to lock myself out of another switch. I would like to use the most secure method which encrypts the password.
Current Config:
username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco123

Cisco IOS will not let me use a type 5 password. This is the error message I receive:
ERROR: The secret you entered is not a valid encrypted secret.
To enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, do not specify type 5 encryption.
When you properly enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, it will be encrypted.
I tried generating an MD5 hash and inputting that in and that did not work either. When I do not specify type 5 it will default to using an encrypted type 4 password.
Also, what is the difference between these two enable secret commands?
enable secret 5 password
username admin privilege 15 secret 5 password

What is the "best" way to configure iTunes on an iMac with personal user acounts so each user can access the media library but sync devices on their personal user account?

I am trying to determine the best way to set up our imac so each user account can access the same media (songs, movies etc.) through itunes and also back up and manage their personal devices under their own personal user account. There are 4 users on our iMac. Me, my wife, and our 2 children. We have built an extensive library of music/media together using the same iTunes store account. I would like to establish a seperate apple id and iTunes store account for each of us going forward but have the ability for each of us to share our purchases. What is the best way to configure our system and devices in order to allow shared access to media and at the same time allow for individual management of devices including contacts, apps, photos, etc. Please help, I would like to do this once!
Thank you in advance!

OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
Applications - just went through them. About the only one I needed was my media server app. Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine. Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too.
Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders. Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly. Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here.
Documents - Just copied these across.
Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager. You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries. Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore. Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc.
Not attempted Music or iPhone sync yet as been stuck trying to solve a problem with my power adapter.

The best is you use ASM (maybe you do it already) and put one failure group on the first disk array and the second failure group on the second array. Then you can ASM let do the work.

What is the best way to configure my time capsule if I just want to use it for storage?

I have a time capsule that I just want to use as backup storage - I don't need it for accessing the internet. What is the best way to set it up? I just tried and it seems to override my normal internet WLAN, which isn't what I want. If I re-insate the existing WLAN, presumably the backup won't happen automatically on the time capsule. Any insights very welcome!!

To work as a backup location the TC has to be part of the existing network.
The best way to achieve that is to plug the TC into the existing modem router and put it in bridge mode.
Apple lately have tried to force people to use the TC as the main router.. and the setup via airport utility pushes you in that direction but it is wrong.
You bridge it and use it as storage.. that is fine.. Simply turn off the wireless if you prefer to use the existing wireless, although for Macs the TC will often work better and you can pick up internet through it at the same time.
With access by wireless you cannot have two separate networks. If you try to do that, then you will have one connection with internet and no backup.. and another connection for backup with no internet and be forced to swap between the two.. do not do this!!
You can even setup wireless as roaming.. so same name and security and password as your existing modem router.. and allow the computer to determine which is the best signal to join.

What is the best way to configure my iPods and user accounts?

I'm looking for a little guidance. Here is my situation:
I am running the latest version of Tiger. It is currently configured with three accounts; mine is the admin. account and each of my two children have their own accounts.
My account is the one that is used most of the time. All of our calendars in iCal are maintained here including one for each of the kids. Each of the kids has their own Contacts list in the Address Book as well. I currently have a 5G 30GB iPod Video that I sync with iTunes through this account. Shortly, I will be buying an iPod Touch. I want my 30 GB iPod to be the one that has everything on it; it will be the one we take in the car on trips for music. I want the Touch to have some, but not necessarily all, of my music and all of our calendars and contact information. I am looking to use it to replace my Palm as my PDA.
My son has a 2G Nano which currently syncs through his account.
My daughter will be getting a 3G Nano soon.
I will also be upgrading to Leopard very soon.
Ultimately, I would like each of the kids to have their own iTunes libraries for music and podcasts and to sync their iCal calendars. As I understand it, however, they cannot access their calendars from their own accounts under my current arrangement. I also understand that there are several ways to configure my Mac to work with multiple iPods.
Given all of this, what is the best thing for me to do? Should I set up all of the kids' iPods to sync through the admin. account so they can get their calendars at the same time? Or is their some way for them to have access to their calendar information from their own accounts under Tiger (or Leopard)? And as far as my two iPods (the Video and the Touch), should they sync through separate libraries, or through one using playlists. I also want to minimize duplicate data wherever possible, be it music or records in iCal and the Address Book.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!

What is the best way to configure AE for use as a wireless bridge?

I am using an AE to provide airtunes to my living room receiver as well as getting internet connection to my living room PC. The way I have it set up is that I am connecting to my existing wireless network (provided by a dlink dir-655) and then plug in the minijack for airtunes and plug in ethernet cable between AE and PC. I don't have a wireless card in the PC so that's why I connect via ethernet cable/AE.
The problem is that the speed with the AE connected PC when it comes to the web, is quite slow. Many times Youtube just freezes and sometimes never catches back up.
I've checked speeds with speedtest.net and my speeds fluctuate an extreme amount.
Is there a way I should configure the AE better to act as a bridge for my ethernet/AE connected PC?
BTW, I'm only about 25 feet from the dlink wireless router so connection quality should be fine. As both devices support N, I think things should work better!
any suggestions?
Thanks

The newer 802.11n version of the AirPort Express offer an option to configure the base station as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Again, Apple calls this ProxySTA. You configure for a ProxySTA by having the base station join an existing wireless network AND by enabling the "Allow Ethernet Clients" option, located on the Wireless tab within the AirPort Utility.
My point is that, as a ProxySTA, the Express will NOT extend the wireless range of your D-Link router. Instead, it WILL allow wired clients to connect to its Ethernet port for network/Internet access.
In the manual setup settings, I see that there is a wireless setting to extend a wireless network and to participate in a WDS network. Would either of these two be better for what I'm trying to accomplish?
In this scenario, no ... as a WDS would not work because very few non-Apple routers are WDS-compatible. Most likely, your D-Link is not as well ... so your current configuration is the only option for what you are trying to do.
It seems that this current configuration should be rock solid, but perhaps I'm not using the proper setup.
The #1 problem with a ProxySTA is that it does not provide the highest level of bandwidth performance. Typically, for the AXn, the best-to-worst performance would be the following configurations: 1) Wired-to-wireless, 2) Wireless-to-wireless (WDS), and 3) Wireless-to-wired (ProxySTA)
As you can see, the first option would be the best, but it would require that you connect the AXn directly to the D-Link by Ethernet ... which, of course, would tie-up its only Ethernet port so that you could not connect the PC to it as you require.

What's the best way to configure my account when buying software

I have Creative Cloud single-app membership for After Effects (one-year) but want to buy Premiere Pro software as well. What's the most cost effective way to put the two programs into the one package? Can I buy the two as separate packages and just pay $40? I know I can pay $50 and get access to everything but I really don't need the other software programs.

What's the best way to configure my thunderbolt drive with the new mac pro?

I have an external pegasus drive connected to my mac pro. Obviously the computer is limited in space and I was wondering whether I should move my "user" folder which will include documents, pictures, videos, etc onto the pegasus. That way the 256gb hard drive on the mac pro is dedicated solely for the os and and apps. What do you guys think?

I concur. See the following:
How to use an SSD with your HDD
If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

What's the best way to configure multiple email accounts?

First time poster, just switched over from Blackberry to he iPhone yesterday. I use Mail, iCal, Address Book, iTunes, iWeb, and iPhoto. I have 2 Macs (a Macbook for work and an iMac for home) and an iPhone 3G.
Here's what I want to do:
1) I have 4 email boxes - work (pop3), gmail, yahoo, and mac (are gmail and yahoo imap or pop3?). I need them to all be on the iPhone and synched to each mac. It seems logical that if all the accounts and structure are on MobileMe, then it is the driver of messaging, not one of the Macs. (Is anyone else getting like 1-2 minute response time on MobileMe?) Even with pop3, shouldn't email originated from the iPhone be shown on the Macs? Right now, I have no record on my computer that I ever sent that message other than a "message sent" email in my inbox after the iPhone delivers the email.
2) I have a lot of my mail organized in folders under "On My Mac". I understand from the discussion board that these folders will not synch to MobileMe or the other devices. Question is, where should I move them to make it happen, and what will that look like on the iPhone? Do they have to go in subfolders to each account's inbox? That's a lot of data given the large number of attachments I have and thousands of emails.
3) Aren't iPhoto and iTunes supposed to be included in the MobileMe functionality? I can't figure out how to make that happen. I got photos and music on the iPhone through a physical synch. That doesn't get them on each of my Macs. Will that even work given each computer has to be specifically authorized to play purchased music?
Sorry, I know this is a lot of stuff in a single post, and believe it or not, I am not a technology dummy. But I am a busy guy and simply need to get this working. Apple's documentation is very sketchy.

What is the best way to allow multiple presentations/presenters iOS devices to a video device(single projector)

I am sure there are several ways to do this but I am rather new to iProducts. The instructor wants to allow students to present either from their own devices or from a mac mini where the presentations had been sent to prior to the class.
At first glance it seemed that an AppleTV would work great for this but I have been told that AppleTV is unreliable when it comes to multiple iOS sources.(Likely trying it out anyways.)
The other method I am looking at is to either grant the class' roll access to a DropBox account or use a 3rd party attachment email service to get all the students presentations to one place. Then its a as simple as using Splashtop or some other remote desktop app/software. Only thing there is the instructor wants the students to use their OWN devices to control the mini/presentation. I can only assume this is a bad idea, but I really don't know.
I have heard but have been unable to confirm that the new mac minis can be controlled from an iPad without additional app downloads, is this the case?
I guess I am at the very start of putting this together but does anyone here have any thoughts or advice?
Also, just throwing this out there, I am a PC guy but seeing how easily Macs set up and integrate in commercial jobs is about to guide me to making a switch.

Sir, here is 10 points! This is the perfect solution for what we are trying to do. I am not sure if the instructor will want to replace their projector although I bet I'd be able to convince them that they'd spend just as much and get half the functionality trying to save the existing projector.
Do you know if Epson is working on a mirroring function? Or if any other company has some sort of dongle or box(and an app) to accomplish this with any brand projector? I am still searching for these answers somewhere online but likely coming up on a dead end.
Also, have you had any experience with AirServer or Reflections?
Thank you again for the article, very very informative!

What's the best way to create zoomable map for iOS by using Flash?

We got a big location map that allows user to zoom in and out and do the panning but the image of the map is not very smooth when you pan it in iOS (Android is ok) so is there a way to fix this problem?
thanks!

Which one you use might depend on the nature of the picture, like, a picture with lots of flat colored areas will come out a lot smaller as a lossless PNG than as a 100% JPEG. It would be interesting to try an 8 bit or 16 bit PNG, see if that makes it use less GPU memory. JPEG is usually 24 bit, and it or a 24 bit PNG should take the same amount of GPU memory.
There is a chance that AIR is using 32 bit throughout on iOS, so it won't matter what the original image was if that's the case, just the width and height would determine the amount used.
The smoothing setting is more about whether you're going to scale the image, which I guess you would be if you want the image to be scaled down. If you could have a smaller version that the user then touches to go immediately to the larger version, both could be set to have no smoothing, which may improve performance.

What is the best way to add a guest networ?

What is the best way to configure a guest network? The guest network would have access to the Internet only. The guest network will would not have access to servers. We have a an ASA firewall, Cisco router and L3 switch.
Thanks.

You have two options, either use ZBF on the router or use the ASA to firewall the guest network.
In either case the guest network will be a dmz/zone itself. You will use ACLs to define where hosts can go and cannot go. And you will also set up their translations for when they want to browse the internet.
For an IOS set up you would have zone guest and zone outside for example and you would define the policies for the zone pair guest-to-out. Also you would define translations for the guest network when it traverses and goes to the outside.
For an ASA scenario you will have a interface or subinterface guest lets say, and the outside interface. Again you would define policies for traffic traversing these two interfaces and the corresponding translations.

What is the Best approch for storing passwords in database

Hello developers
I have two question
1.What is the best way to store passwords in databse table.i want to use something like des3 or other strong one,I need a refernce implemetation.if some one know some good web example/tutorial -also in sun site-i didnt found something like that but i may looked the wrong places.
2.I am Devloping a J2ee application.So if i am going to use des3 where should i put the key .i dont want that the key will be available to evry one ,so where should i put it.
Yoav

What you need to understand is the difference between a hash and a block cipher like DES (and more than likely I'm not the best one to do it but here it goes):
First of all, you are using a monoalphabetic cipher in your current implementation. You're right, it's very weak and people have been breaking them on pen and paper since aroun 1200 A.D.
DES is like the monoalphabetic cipher in one important respect: Anything you use the cipher on, for example the String "hello" you can then reverse and return to the original value "hello." That is generally not the way passwords are stored, they usually use a hash (as the previous poster stated) like MD5.
If I hash the String value "hello", I will not be able to reverse it. However, the trick is that if I hash the same String value again I will get the same hash value. This is important. So use this algorithm (that the previous poster also mentioned):
Store Password Hash
1) Get user input password
2) Use MD5 (or SHA1) to on password to get a hash value of the password
3) Store the hash value of the password in your database
Authenticate a User (i.e. let them login)
1) Get user input password
2) Use MD5 (or SHA1) to on password to get a hash value of the password
3) Retrieve original password hash value from the database
4) Compare the two hash values, if they match authenticate, else error
