Is it possible to change my password?

Microsoft tells me he thinks that someone else is using my account (which I very highly doubt happens) and wants to change my password, but I had really rather not. I feel like I shouldn't be forced to do it with my own PC and want to know if there is a way to avoid it. This is not preventing me to connect to the computer, but it crashes me to install anything in the store until I have go through the security process incredibly annoying and unwanted. In fact if there was a way to disable this security process throughout, it would be too much. Thank you.

No, sorry.  If you do not agree to the security situation that they do not allow to use the store.  They cannot have accounts get hacked on their new app platform.  Your alternative is to use only Windows 7 programs, those that require a password ever no confidence because they were built before the existence of the app store.

  • Change the password on external hard drive

    Hi all

    on my iMac 21.5 ", I recently updated my Mac HD internal to El Capitan 10.11.  There are now several major programs (for example MPEG Streamclip and Photoshop elements 11) which worked fine under Yosemite, but are not compatible with El Capitan.

    On an external hard drive, I installed Yosemite 10.10.2 in late 2014 when it was the last version of OS X.  Only, I installed a system on the usual external drive boot on the internal HD failure.  All of these programs (also installed on the external hard drive) work very well in Yosemite.

    When I start on the hard disc to access these programs, I had problems when I need to make changes for which the system requires a user and a password.  I don't remember what they were.  Is it possible to change the password (given that I can identify the user name in the "Users" folder), please?

    Best regards, paulranger1.

    Please open the Startup disk preferences window and select the volume on the external hard disk. You must change this selection on the internal drive after the reset of the password.

    Start in recovery mode. When OS X Utilities window, select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

    In the window that opens, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Close the Terminal window to get him out of the way.

    Select the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is turned on.

    Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9.

    Select

    ▹ Restart 

    in the menu bar.

    You should now be able to login with the new password, but will reset the keychain (empty). If you have forgotten the password for the keychain (which is normally the same as the password for the connection), there is no way to recover it.

  • eSSO - change windows password - network provider

    Hi all

    We have configured the eSSO connection manager in a deployment using Windows v2 as primary authenticator and network provider, instead of GINA.

    The question is how (and if) it is possible to change the password in the AD domain to users via the Logon Manager eSSO agent installed in PC. I tried the Windows logon model included in the installation, but still when I press Alt - Ctrl - Del and change the password, I get that GINA known invite and not eSSO invite.

    Kind regards

    You need self-service password reset, it's a different product in eSSO suite.

  • Is it possible to change the LOCATION of the stored passwords?

    I would like Firefox to store my passwords, but I don't like anyone can open just the browser to find all my data. Yes, I have a master password, but I know that is hard for anyone to go into the data files and decrypt the password files.

    What I would do:
    1. move the files key3db and logins.json on a flash drive. Or the whole if absolutely necessary profile
    2. change where Firefox pulls the passwords of my flash drive
    3. at the end of the account it will be able to remember my password if my drive is connected

    For a quick Q + A:
    1. I need to move just two files, mentioned above, or the entire profile folder?
    2. which file running Firefox at the current location of password, in the AppData folder? CAN I / should I change that?
    3. is it possible?

    I am currently using Firefox 37.0.2, running on Windows 7.
    I'm not well versed technical jargon, but I am reasonably competent.
    Please let me know if you need more information.

    It is possible to move your passwords, but it is difficult (and note, this is only a problem if someone has access to your computer, in which case they would be more likely to use a keylogger and gather all your keystrokes in this way, you'll have more great concern).

    If you are very worried about it, then I suggest using something like lastpass which stores your passwords in a database encrypted in the cloud and only pulls them down when you open a session.

  • I changed my Apple ID and now my iMessages does not work. It still uses the old Apple ID and I can't use the old password for it because it is not active. Is it possible to change it?

    Is it possible to change the Apple ID user name on iMessage for the iMessage account?

    Hello

    Use the logout button.

    This will still show the old Apple ID, but can be "crushed" and has added a new.

    You can go a step further by going to ~/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file.

    This will remove the Apple ID used in iMessages and all related issues iPhone and other emails added to the whole upward.

  • Cannot change the password on disk external HARD Gigastore

    All G´Day. Hope someone can help me and I don't have to format this drive...

    Had recently changed the password disk and curiosity entry "not enough space", as hitting the SPACEBAR once, as the new pw. Repeated, agreed and worked.

    However, now I can't access the drive more. Hit 'space' at the pw prompt will still have the blocked path.

    All old/new password to enter the space just tried. Nothing. The drive was my nearby since so nobody else would not change it in the meantime.

    Got some important data backed up and we hope that me to play around with this option will not end to erase everything.

    Each suggestion and help is very appreciated.
