WRT160N Password Problem for Newbie.

Just purchased a used router and cannot access the configuration on the router. The default username and password will not allow me in. Is there any way to bypass this and reset the info.
Thanks for your time.

Hi canadales and welcome to the forums!
To reset the router's password, please press the reset button while the router is turned on for 30 seconds then turn if off and on. Connect a computer via wire to any of the LAN ports of the router and proceed with the configuration. Leave the username blank and use admin for the password.

Password Problem for some applications:

Password Problem for some applications: I'm unable to download Adobe Reader, Microsoft updates. I have no password set to start the computer, applications such as Pages, Numbers, Keynote require no password for updates.
When I try to update Microsoft or Adobe Reader, first I try with no password, I get a hint and I know exactly what it means, but still unable to download. I don't know enough about passwords as to why some I can download and others I can't. So I don't know what I should read. I'm the only user of this computer and prefer not to have to deal with passwords. I'm using a MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.9.3

Oh what a tangled web we weave. I read up on keychain and I don't understand what I'm reading. Right now I cannot download my email on my computer, I can access it through the cloud. I'm sure it will be the same for the other iCloud feathers. When I go to preferences and select iCloud when ever I try to sign in I get some dialog box it shows up "A keychain cannot be found to store 1076701306. It doesn't matter whether I reset it or cancel it out iCloud preferences remains grayed out.
In keychain access on the left side under keychains and Read's local item, systems, and systems roots.
When I select local items nothing shows up to the right under the name column even when down under all items is selected nothing shows up. And nothing shows up to the right when under categories I selected the other options password etc. On the other hand when I select under keychains systems, systems roots I do get items to show up on the right side under names under all items, passwords, etc. Where do I start?

MMC Password Problem for E71 and Possible Solution

Hi,
I wanted to share with you the following (took me some time to figure it out...).
On E71 there is a possibiity to remotely lock the phone via an SMS with a specific code you can define. Now if you didn't protect the MMC with an own password before, after the remote lock, the MMC will become protected and the password for it is the SMS code you used for the remote lock. Note that the SMS code doesn't have to be the same as the code with which you unlock the phone itself after the remote lock (except of course if you define them both to be the same).
I hope it helps, at least for some cases. Funny that this is not described in any manual or whatsoever (at least I couldn't find it)....
This was tested on the E71-1 (33), RM-346, product code 0558786), FW Version 100.07.76, with an original Nokia 8GB microSD-HC MMC memory card.
Cheers,

I had this same problem. My memory card suddenly getting corrupted, but I managed to solve it. I believe the source of the problem is the Remote Lock and the Device Lock of the unit. I have an E63 unit (same as E71).
The problem started after I enabled the Device Lock and Remote Lock of my E63 unit. After a couple of hours, I tried to manage my apps in the memory card. To my surprise, it's corrupted! I didn't panic because I believe I could retrieve the files with my PC. But when I inserted my memory card to a memory reader into my PC, the card is unreadable. I had a feeling that the card is really corrupted. But how? I just got this unit almost a day ago. I didn't do anything odd. I'm an OOP-Design Patterns oriented programmer so I'm not newbie when it comes to best practices.
As I searched the web, I found that there are cases too that had this same exact problem. And their guess is also the Device Lock.
So what I did is I disable the Remote Lock and the Device Lock. I checked my memory card and it's still corrupted!
So, I turn off my unit and turn it on again, it's still corrupted!
I removed the memory card while the unit is on (Make sure you use the remove memory card feature of your unit!!!) and then reinserted the card, and it worked.
In summary, to solve this memory corrupted problem. Try disabling the Remote Lock and Device Lock. To disable the Device Lock, revert the password to "12345" (Do not type the quotes). Remove the memory card (Use the remove memory card feature of your unit!!!). Re-insert card and problem fixed.

Password problem for thinkvantage client security

I originally set up my client security solution with a password, then decided that, since I am the only user of the computer, I didn't need a p/w, so I changed it to blank it in the p/w manager. big mistake! now the client security login will not let me in, even if I type my old p/w. Is there any fix for this?

Same problem here. Any help?

Small problems for Newb

Hey all.
I just moved from the PC. Nice move, I know. I've been using Garageband with a Firewire 410. It's a very nice entry level system, but I'm having a few problems...
1. After having recorded a few tracks (7 or so software loops and real instruments), the computer runs slowly and lags. The red line indicating the current bar/section drags behind the music that is playing. It's strange. There is basically a 3 to 5 second delay in response, only within Garageband. If I minimize it, iTunes and everything else works in real time.
I have a brand new 17' iMac Core 2 Duo with 2GHz and 1 GB of RAM. Any ideas if there are performance settings within GB that I can tweak? I though firewire ports would help alleviate that problem.
2. The second issue is that I can't consistently use the Firewire as the output for playback...i.e. the playback doesn't always come through my headphones. Sometimes the monitor setting turns itself off, and I have to go into M-Audio downloaded driver to reset the settings. It would be nice if I could just leave it be, and have it work!
Many thanks in advance,

This is your processor struggling to keep up (the firewire interface has nothing to do with it). Don't run any other programs at the same time: go into GB preferences>Audio-MIDI and set 'Optimize for' to 'Maximim number of simultaeneous tracks': and lock any MIDI tracks you're not working with. You will often get a bit of a lag, but if the music isn't actually breaking up you're not doing too badly.

the Firewire as the output for playback...i.e. the
playback doesn't always come through my headphones.

You must have the M-Audio plugged in before you open any program which wants to access it:you could try trashing GB's preferences files and resetting your in/out settings: apart from this it sounds like flakiness in the driver - try contacting M-Audio's help.

For some comprehensive advice on solving Mac Help problems reae the following FAQ:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html
As for opening your hard drive are you double clicking on it? You could also control click on it to open it.
Really there is no need to open the hard drive icon. If you put an alias of the applications folder and your home folder in your dock then you can skip a trip to the hard drive icon. Open the hard drive icon and drag your application folder to the dock. that will put an alias of it on the dock and you can access it from there. Yes, it is that easy! You can find your home folder in the Users ffolder and do the same with it. Grab the one that looks like a house and put it in the dock.

Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero. I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found
A. run Disk Warrior
B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks

Win XP : problems for itune to connect the airport remote speakers

Hi there,
My config is iTunes installed on my PC, a Tecom wifi router and two airport express base stations connected to speakers in different rooms of my flat.
At first, iTunes has no problem for seeing the airport stations and the music goes well through the wifi.
After two or three days, the PC doesn't see the stations anymore in iTunes (they actually still show, but in gray) .
If I want them to be seen again, I need to close iTunes, go to "connexions", disconnect my PC from the network, connect again, run iTunes again, and then... it works !
That's a bit boring. As strange as it could be, the act of shuting down my PC every night and running it "fresh" every morning doesn't help.
Has any one any suggestion on how it could work better ?

Hello Deb Parks. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm not sure if, by product key, you mean the encryption password for your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) wireless network. Is your AEBSn's wireless network currently running encryption (WEP or WPA)? If so, temporarily disable it, and then, see if the PC can connect.

FTP/SSL Connection Problem for FTP Receiver Adapter

Hello All,
We are trying to establish an FTPS/SSL connection with one of our customers from our XI(Unix) system, and are receive following error:
iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Server certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
Communication Channel Parameters:
Connection Security: FTP (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection or FTP (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection and Data Connection
Command Order: AUTH TLS, USER, PASS, PBSZ, PROT
Checkbox - Use X.509 Certificate.... checked (Certificate was provided by third party (customer issued) and uploaded to service_ssl certificate store on J2EE server)
Data Connection: Passive
Port: 10021
Keystore: service_ssl
X.509 Certificate & Private Key: ssl-credentials
Note: Initial handshaking occurs but connection is being dropped by the third party FTP Server when SSL certificate credentials are being validated. We also tried connecting to the third party FTPS server using standard FTPS client(FileZilla software), this connection gets established successfully with no certificate issues which means certificate and third party FTP Server is functioning correctly.
We therefore are thinking that the problem lies with our XI system being unable to load the certificate information correctly at the point when FTPS session is being established.
Your help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards

Hello All,
Further in order to test connection set up and communication channel configuration we tried simulating the FTP connection locally by configuring FTP Server using FileZilla at a local machine and accessed it from Client's XI Server.
This set up simulates the problem we encounter with our customer's FTP Server.
If connection security parameter in communication channel for Sender FTP Adapter is set to "FTPs( FTP Using SSL/TLS) with Control Connection" only, file gets successfully created with data at the FTP server but as soon as we switch the connection security parameter to "FTPs( FTP Using SSL/TLS) with Control and Data Connection", we receive error "Certificate rejected by Chain Verifier". The initial handshaking happens successfully and file gets created at the FTP Server but its empty, connection fails when attempt is made to write data into file and we end up with said error thereby closing the connection.
This is what the FTP (FileZilla) sees when the XI system attempts to set-up a fully encrypted data (FTPS) connection i.e., connection security parameter value as"FTPs( FTP Using SSL/TLS) with Control and Data Connection" :-

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud 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.
