  • I'm on the admin account, but can not change PW for another admin.

    Hello

    I'm on the administrator account for the network that I am. One of the other admins left and does not leave his password. When I go to users and try to change his password (it has the files and settings, we need) to get access to his account, the option is not there to change the password (it is grayed out). How to change its password and/or the newspaper on his account?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    If you are the Admin and you can do what is necessary for the network, get rid of his account.

  • Change the password for the Active Directory account that is running VMware VirtualCenter Server

    We have an ESXi5.5 environment and I was instructed to change the password of the Active Directory account is used to run the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service.

    There is a Data Source configured for a separate MS - SQL Server that is configured to use Windows authentication

    I find the Article KB KB VMware: changing the vCenter Server database user ID and password

    On the key: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc., \VMware VirtualCenter\DB T HE for 2 and 3 values are empty

    It is not quite clear to me if the vpxd.exe Pei command is necessary for our environment (service AD account and Windows authentication) or if it is only if SQL authentication is defined on the Data Source - would anyone have experience with this change and be able to clarify for me?

    Thank you

    Yes you are right,

    but I would suggest to stop the services first before you do the activity, it can take the old password in a few times and lock the conduit to account

    2. once the password is updated, make sure that the login account is updated (is currently running services on the specified user account or local account?)

    If it runs using the specified account, you will need to updated and restart the services.

    3. make sure that the services are running fine and observe for a while, the user account must not get locked.

    Let me know if you have any other questions

  • I did a Mint install but do not disassociate the synchronization of the former first and now can not synchronize currency new version of Firefox

    I have upgraded to a netbook linux Ubuntu 12.04 17 Mint and was unaware of subsequent Sync FF28 changes. I don't have to dissociate the former firefox and the clean install of Mint17 has the new synchronization version 29? I think so. How to untie the old account so I can sync the new facility? The account had only one machine sync to it.

    Sorry, your data is not recoverable from the old system of synchronization when you use the new synchronization version. The connection method is different it was with the old system, which used a 'key' in addition to the e-mail address and the password for the account. When moving from one account synchronization that Firefox data must be on the machine that has been updated to Firefox 28 to a later version when connecting to the server, the first time. That's because the new version sends the data to a new server using the same e-mail address and password, but the new 'key' is not identical to the old version - it is generated differently than before.
    Here are the instructions for the update to the new sync:
    Synchronize your bookmarks Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

    In conclusion, no Sync version was intended to be used as a backup media for a single device, it was intended to synchronize Firefox data between multiple devices. Some users have done work with a single device, but not during the last synchronization was performed with the old version and then the user attempted to retrieve their data with the new version and a new operating system or an operating system reinstalled - which has no data of Firefox.

  • Reset password for the AIP - SSM-10

    Hello

    I have an ASA5520 with 7.2 v 2 running.

    but the IPS module spftware is 5.1

    When I tried to connect to the > session 1

    He asked me a login and a password.

    I tried the cisco and a few other combinations... but no luck.

    How to reset it? also the procedure to reset on the docs said its password resets or the cisco of the user...

    How can I be sure that the cisco of the user still exists about it or not?

    any help please?

    The only way to get the software for your module is to download via the software centre of Cisco.com. You will need a Smartnet contract or account of the BCC to access downloads.

    You'll be able to reimage the module with the 6.0 software, but it is advisable to reimage it with the most basic image. You can always switch from there!

    Information on the site is in the following document:

  • Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

    OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

    Hi PAM,.

    In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

    To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

    Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

    The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

    A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

    An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

    If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

    If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
