All of a sudden don't require passwords for one of my user accounts... Why?
All of a sudden, the user accounts on my computer is not necessary to enter a password to connect. You can simply click the icon for a particular account and it load. This includes administrator accounts. I checked the user account control panel and it doesn/t display the saved passwords. I have a fingerprint reader that works in conjunction with or instead of the password and who scans are always registered and working, but now are rendered advocated. What could have caused this? I am on an HP dv6 - 1134ca Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with service pack 2. I can and will implement the new passwords for the accounts, but I'm a little disturbed that this has happened at all and do not understand what could have caused it. Everything has worked out very well and normal until today. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.
I never saw this happen by itself. All I can say is that you be proactive and make sure that the computer is free of viruses/malware and not compromised from outside.

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my computer. I have NEVER had trouble opening a document from this location before. All of a sudden, I wonder a PASSWORD. I went and created a password, but it does NOT work when I try to open certain documents only three 3 in Player-all OTHER documents are open without asking for a password. I tried to reset the password and tried again to open these particular documents. They are still not open!
Then I "chatted" with ADOBE and they me logged onto the Forum and told me to look for an answer I was ANable to automatically find...
What is everyone out there knows what I need to do to obtain a PASSWORD THAT WILL WORK when I try to open these 3 documents?
ALSO, what is the URL of the FORUM ADOBE?
Thank you VERY MUCH to anyone who can help me. I have urgently NEED to see these documents today, 18/05/15. Thanks again!
This isn't true at all. In fact, the specific problem of this user has been resolved when they discovered that someone has added a password security policy to their files. See: How to get and use a password that works to open several documents in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?
If you add the password to your files yourself and then forgotten, then there is nothing that can be done using Adobe software, however.
This can be done with Adobe Reader but is not able to apply (or remove) a security strategy for PDF files.

URGENT! -I'm locked in one of my user accounts - the system won't let me not reset the password
You said that you had to reset the password, but forget what it is.
Do you then remember the previous password?
1. If you remember the previous password until you did reset.
2. If you have the DVD drive or Vista repair.
3. If there is a restore point which a logon succeeded.
This works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which logging has managed for the account of the problem. In addition, this isn't a problem if you are in a domain environment because the domain administrator can always reset your password.If you meet the above conditions, then use this tutorial:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/how-to-regain-access-to-your-administrator-account-in-Windows-Vista-using-system-restore/Otherwise, we are not allowed to help users to bypass the password protection, regardless of what are "reasons".

Change my Apple ID and now all the other devices asking me the password for the old ID.
Using my MacBook Pro El Capitan 10.11.3 running, I changed my code from Apple. We have two iPhones and two iPads. All are running 9.2.1. As I made the change to the ID, other devices constantly ask me to enter the password for the old ID. Of course, it no longer works, but I can't find a way to stop messages. When I change to the new ID, devices of ask a password. The password does not work and I am asked to create a new password. If I do that, I can connect is no longer in my ID on the MacBook pro. At this time, I again wonder to change my password, and the circle continues. How can I get all the devices and the cloud to recognize the new ID and password? This gets pretty annoying, and data is not shared between all the devices for applications like the calendar.
Try to change the ID to your old one, sign out iCloud on computers/devices, then replace it with a new and connect.

El Capitan Upgrade - cannot verify the password for the Exchange e-mail account
Hello
My email accounts all worked very well until I installed at El Capitan. Since the upgrade yesterday, I can't access any of my email on the mail accounts. It is one of my Exchange accounts and invites me to check the password and then fails to check. I looked everywhere to try to understand why it won't work but am running out of ideas. I have another exchange account which seems to work very well. I checked all the settings and don't see anything wrong anywhere. Can someone help please I need access to this account (OH and it works fine on my iPhone)
Thank you
Delete the Exchange account, and then add it again. It is possible that you will need to do additional work to fix, but this easy option first.

I have 3 email accounts and managed to re-setup 2 of them successfully. However, I don't remember the password to 3rd, who was named more precisely (and this is why I don't want to set up another new account).
You must ask your ISP to reset the password for you, then keep a written record of all passwords.

I've seen other people having this problem too and their problem solved by using the link "file repair". I tried this also - no effect...
It seems to be a pure display problem, as all emails are there, and when I click on a specific location where a specific e-mail was supposed to appear, I can open the e-mail OK. I have no insight of what is in my Inbox. When I keep my mouse on the account of the column in the left window, a little black watch too, with all the new messages being listed.
I don't have this problem with one of my email accounts has seven. All the others work fine, and this is also several weeks until what stopped it a few days ago.
Restarting the computer does not help.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 as the operating system.
Try this:
Select the Inbox that shows an invisible list.
Click the icon of choice of right column header and select 'Reset columns by default'.It worked?
