Reset Admin password after wrong attempts
Hello,
I wanted to expose my intranet site collection for anonymous users. Before that i wanted to know that by any method could a anonymous access the admin section(site section) of the site? How secure it is?
Plus if any user trying to access admin section, is there a way to reset the admin's password after 3 wrong attempts?
Any help would be really appreciated.Hi Rizwan,
The "admin" pages are secured just like any other page on a non-anonymous site collection. For instance, the _layouts/settings.aspx page (the site settings page), will require authentication. So to answer your question:
Could an anonymous user access the admin section in any way? Not as far as I know, because it requires authentication.
Your second question, regarding resetting the admin password is a little harder.
What do you mean by "admin" password. Do you have only 1 user that is authorized to the site settings page?
You can use Group Policies to lock users if they enter a wrong password.

Resetting admin password. Please help!!
My friend has a G4 ibook with mac osx 10.3.8 installed, unfortunately he has forgotten his password and this prevents him from installing any software now. I have read the support pages from apple which state i should use the installation disc of the original mac os x. This has unfortunately been lost. I have tried with a newer installation disc "tiger" and this does not work. Can anyone help me.
ThanksAlan....try the following.....
Reset Admin Password ..... using Terminal
1. Type.... passw < return>
2. It'll prompt for the...... “old password” <return>
3. Type..... “new password” <return>
4. Retype ...... “password” <return>
Changing the password in this way has the same effect as changing through "System Preferences".
Reset Admin Password .... using Single User Mode
Hold down (command+S) at startup, you will be presented with a black screen containing a bunch of code... this is called....... Single-User Mode
Type.....
sudo passwd username <return> ... or ...
/usr/bin/passwd username <return>
Type your already existing ..... “old password” <return>
Type in a new...... “password” and verify
Type... reboot <return>

If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
command line:
/sbin/fsck -yf
If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
mount -uw /
cd /private/var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb local.old
rm ../.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed. -
Hi. My current OSX is 10.4.2; my install disk is 10.2. I've followed the instructions to reset my admin password (which I can't remember) using the install disk, but, after it says "password saved" and I quit Installer and restart the computer, it doesn't recognize the new password--it's still giving me the hint for the old one. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for any suggestions.
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.2)I am trying to reset my friend's admin password with a 10.3.4 software install cd for emac and the coputer does not seem to recognize the cd at all. I tried to restart the computer and hold down the c button but nothing happened. I am just totally confused.

Resetting admin password from non-original CD
We have a 400 Mhz Powerbook G3 running Mac OS X 10.3.3. We got it from eBay as is––no CD's, no other information. Now that I have inadvertently locked System Preferences, that is a problem because we do not know the admin password.
I see that you can reset the password by booting up from a Mac OS install disc. My question is, would it be possible to do that using the OS X install disc for v. 10.3.7 that came with my iBook G4?Usually the OEM install disc that comes with a particular computer model will not work with other models. However, you can give it a try. If you can get it to boot the Powerbook, then after the installer loads select Reset Admin Password from the File menu.

How to reset admin password in single user mode
How do I reset and admin password in single user mode. All the posts I have read so far dont work. I tried adding a new admin password as posted on the forums by deleting setup so it will setup like it was first time setup but that didnt work . Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The account now only has the standard user account as admin. Admin account I deleted in trying to fix this problem.1 - Does it boot into Leopard?
2 - Does it have any important data on it that is not backed up elsewhere?
It it boots into Leopard you could continue using it and hope that you find your Leopard install disks later or discover some other way to overcome the lost password.
If it is fully backed up or has no important data on it you could install Tiger. -
Reset admin password - SJSWS 7u8
Hi,
I've read through the documentation and a few of the other posts about resetting the admin password in SJSWS. Plainly, it doesn't work
[root@server bin]# ./wadm reset-admin-password --user admin --host localhost --port 8989
Please enter admin-password>
Please enter admin-password again>
CLI103 Command 'reset-admin-password' failed. :: netscape.ldap.LDAPRebindI've not been able to find any matches to the 'netscape.ldap.LDAPRebind' error, and don't know why it's talking about ldap in the first place (as SJSWS isn't attached to any LDAP).
The local machine (RHEL5.5, Linux x86_64, amd64 SJSWS install) does use LDAP for authentication, but it shouldn't be trying to touch that.
I can't find any further log entries for the failed password change either.
This is the administration console, with one other node hanging off of it.

I have just reset my password about a hundred times and still the face time and I messenger is not working, I previously used FaceTime once and now I need help urgently
What am I not doing?Hi fatbear711. are the following as follows? Settings/restrictions: Facetime and Camera are both ON? Also in Game centre at bottom 'Adding Friends" is turned on? If all ok, log into your account via itunes App, Click on your ID at bottom left of say the Music page, then click to 'Manage', enter password. On next page click on your apple ID at top, then select to go to '[email protected]'. Log in on the browser window page that appears and confirm that your primary apple ID and primary email have been verified (should have green ticks and the word 'verified' next to them. If you use itunes on a pc to sync with then do this through iTunes;Store menu on your pc, ensuring that you sync your device once finshed. You will also need to check that your device is set to the correct timezone and time in your devices settings page. If problem still persists at least we'll know the basics are ok.
When you post again can you also include whether ipad2/3 etc and iOS e.g. 5.3.1/6.01 etc

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?
I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.
