WRT54G V8, Cannot change my password. Macintosh, Trying to hook-up Apple TV. , I'M DESPERATE!!!!!

I have a Macintosh G5. I bought an "Apple TV" that connects wirelessly to my router. In set-up it shows the Linksys and asks for WEP PASSWORD. In my computer I typed 192.168.1.1 and then went to the ADMIN tab and tried to change my password. After I change it and click SAVE I get another window that says Admin at top and asks for my password at the bottom. I type in the new password which reloads the Administration window again except my password is not changed. Because I have a Mac I don't know what the original password was. It is not ADMIN because it is about 18 characters long. PLEASE HELP ME I'M NEW TO THIS STUFF!!!!!
Thanks, Bill

The password on the Adminstration tab is the password for the web interface of the router. That password protects the router from unauthorized reconfiguration. It has nothing to do with wireless connections.
Go on the Wireless tab, then click Wireless Security. There you can see your wireless security keys. Enter the hexadecimal number in key 1 on your Apple TV. That should work.
Of course, WEP is highly insecure. It is easily and quickly cracked. I would highly recommend to switch your router to WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK security. Enter a good strong passphrase. The other advantage of WPA is that you cannot confuse the keys with the passphrase. In WPA2 there is only the passphrase...

User cannot change expired password at logon

Hi
I've got 4 Fujitsu laptop with Windows 7 business SP1 x64 (Fujitsu setup). When the domain password expired, users cannot change their password at logon. Also, they can change password in their opened session before it expire (CTRL+ALT+DEL ==>
change password).
The change password at logon windows is buggy : It only display one field to put password in, the confirmation field does not display.
When user valid is change, Windows display error "wrong username or password ". Only way to unlock this situation is to reset user password in ADUC and never let expire.
I seen no sofware or driver wich could interfe.
Domain controler (only one) is Windows server 2012 standard.
Has somebody ever seen this type of problem ?

Hi,
Can you post a screenshot for this situation?
Sometimes, the third party credential provider would lead to some issue like this, I suggest you check the
current credential provider via the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\x\LastLoggedOnProvider
You should compare the result with the values in the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\credential providers
If the current value is third party credential provider, try to disable it:
To disable the provider add a REG_DWORD value "Disabled"=1 to that provider’s CLSID subkey.
The provider will be disabled on the next session creation (sessions are created when you log off, switch users, or reboot.

I cloud will not accept my apple id and password. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

Got it thanks macjack . Command + S on restart.
In this case Nad69-Breizh did you try restarting with the option key down and re-selecting the boot drive.
If no Recovery option, try command option R for internet recovery. Takes some time to load up.

802.1X cannot change expired password at login

Hi all,
I'm trying to roll out 802.1X authentication for wifi access at my company, however there's one major problem I can't for the life of me figure out. I'm not able to get the Macs to prompt for a password change when the password has expired at login.
On Windows when you log in it will prompt you to change your password when it's expired. However on OSX when you're on the workstation login screen, you can see the wireless icon briefly connect, then it will think for a bit and the user cannot log in at all.
OSX can definitely can change expired passwords via 802.1X, as if I log into a local account and connect to the wifi with the user whose password has expired, it will prompt to change it, and changes it successfully.
I'm using NPS for RADIUS authentication against AD, and using Profile Manager in OSX Server to create the 802.1X profile.
Does anyone have any experience with OSX and using WPA Enterprise/802.1X Profiles?
Thanks!

ISE 1.2 Guest portal user cannot change their passwords

I have a WLC 5508(version 7.6) and a server installed the ISE (version 1.2.1.198)，Now we configured the CWA，Use guest portal as an employee and guest login url，We can use the manually create internal user and password successfully logged in, and we set up allow guest users to change password in Multi-Portal, but the user can not change the password in the guest portal ,I suspect the change password option on the Guest Portal actually works? Can anyone tell me how to change their own username password in the guest portal ?

Requiring Guests to Change Password
You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
Before You Begin
Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
Step 4 Check either or both options:
Allow guest users to change password
Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login
Step 5 Click Save .

Cannot change MyBT password

I have been trying to change the password for MyBT.
But when I enter the new password and hit "save" on the change password screen it just redirects me back to the change password screen, with not confirmation or error messages.
When I try to log back into MyBT I find that I still have to use the old password so the password change has no effect.

DS console operators cannot change their passwords?

I've setup named developer accounts with the operator role, so that (among other things) they can tell who has an object checked out. But it seems that console users cannot change their own passwords: someone with administrator access needs to do it for them? Is that correct? This goes against best practices, where an administrator can reset a password but the user then changes (preferably, the are forced to change it on first logon). If that is the case, hopefully it's addressed in the next release (we are using SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, version: 12.2.3.0).

I forgot my rescue email and cannot change my password because I need t answer security questions that I don't know the answer to! I need help!

I can't change my password! I don't know the answers to my security questions and the recuse email I put in years ago may not even exist. I need help!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Cannot change mail password or mail settings or reset factory settings.

Hi, I had to change my mail password on my computer and now cannot access mail on my iPhone.
The settings area for iCloud and mail are greyed out and I cannot access them.
I have a restrictions passcode in place, but I cannot remember it (have tried very hard!).
I can't restore the factory settings as iCloud is greyed out so I can't turn off Find my Iphone.
The passcode restriction has been an ongoing problem as far as some location services go (eg can't use Hailo), but now it is a BIG problem if I can't get mail.
I took the phone into the genius bar a few months ago to try and unlock the restrictions passcode, but the moment the phone synced again, the problem was there again.
Any help/advice would be HUGELY appreciated! Thank you very much.

You cannot re-sync the device if you need to remove restrictions passcode. You must restore it as New. If you have a prior backup before you added a restrictions code, then you can restore that backup or a previous one.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

I have changed my Apple id. It should be in order. But somehow in my iCloud there is a different apple id and I cannot change the password. Apple is no more giving me an extra change. I have used all? How can I remoce this extra iCloud account? Ellimati.

I have changed my Apple id. I should be in order. But iCloud is not working, because it has a different account name. I cannot remove the account, because it needs password. I don´t have it! I have asked too many times a possibility to have a new password. Apple is no more giving me the e-mails (so easy to handle the account!) I hope if I can enter the account, I can also remove it.

After "saving" the changed password, I cannot send emails using the new one, only with the old password.
What additional steps are required to change the smtp password?

Thanks for the additional info, Eric.
I may try re-doing the account.
As for the website, do you mean checking webmail?
I may just look there anyway.

Cannot change user passwords in System Prefs

They just don't "take." I can change passwords as root in terminal using passwd no problem but not in System Prefs pane.
The secure.log hints that something happens:
Apr 20 19:08:01 Dualie com.apple.SecurityServer: Succeeded authorizing right system.preferences by process /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Resources/writeconfig for authorization created by /Applications/System Preferences.app.
But then I try to use that password and:
Apr 20 19:10:03 Dualie SecurityAgent[1846]: User Authenticated: continue login process
Apr 20 19:10:03 Dualie com.apple.SecurityServer: authinternal failed to authenticate user lucy.
Ideas?

I had a similar problem ---- The initial problem was that my AirPort network password wouldn’t stay set and when I attempted to change the settings in the Network pane, I got a dialog box which said: “Please enter your keychain password --- System Preferences wants to use keychain ‘System.’ “ I opened “Details” and it showed Keychain: System Keychain and Application: System Preferences. I thought I had corrupted my keychain and first created a new keychain per the Mac Help instructions. This did not correct the problem and I made a screen shot *using Snapz Pro) to send to Apple or MacFixIt; I noticed that the title bar said SecurityAgentScreen which was the first time i heard of SecurityAgent --- and there is not much in the way of documentation on it.
My next attempt was to rebuild my System which did not fix the problem, so I called apple Technical Support. I was directed to move the Keychain folder from my Home directory (Home/Library/Keychains) to the Desktop and reboot. This corrected the problem, however, there is suspicious difference: the new Keychains folder contains only “login.keychain.” I surmise that the keychains are now invisible and encrypted, and, are accessed via SecurityAgent which was introduced in 10.4.1 ,SecurityAgent was most probably developed to correct keychain vulnerabilities, but.I have not been find any documentation, or at least any that I can comprehend.
