I want to login as a different user in Gnome and not to run a single program only, but I don't know the users password, I don't want to know it and I don't want to change it, but I'm sudoer.
Is there any way to do so?
The best thing I could think, was to change the user's password but to keep the old shadow file. But this seems to me very ugly and also uncomfortable.
When I create a new user account I ask users to send me a public key, and want to force users to set the password the first time they log in with keypair authentication.
I reset the password for sa for ms sql 2008 R2.
I can login using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with the account sa with the new password.
However, when I go to update the servers (sharepoint) that uses the account, they get bad login (bad password) for sa.
I have tried multiple different ways to reset the sa password and restart the service, but so far no luck.
Why is it still giving
We have a test server that does allow challenge-response authentication. I don't want to disable that, but when I create a new user account I ask users to send me a public key, and want to force users to set the password the first time they log in with keypair authentication.
The user is set to login without a password. When trying to use that user to make a directory the user is asked to prvide a password. Since they don't have a password the system keeps rejecting them and denies them access to the command. Is there a default password that may be in use?
Every time I log in into Ubuntu a window comes titled "Unlock Login Keyring" and asks for some password. The problem is when I enter my password it doesn't accepts it.
What is login keyring?
If it isn't asking about my user account password then which password is it asking about?
I don't want to come it everytime I login. How do I make it go away?
On SPARC Solaris 10. I set the app account so it's expired. I also want it
so not required to change password at first login, I can do this by
removing the numbers after the password in /etc/shadow.
example using user1
The /etc/shadow file looks like this:
Code:
user1:kOmcVXAImRTAY:0::::90::
Want it to be like this:
Code:
user1:kOmcVXAImRTAY:::::::
How can I do that via a script?
Yesterday evening I changed my password, using: Systems Settings >> User Accounts
But, this morning my new password is not accepted. In trying other solutions, I tried my old password which still allowed me to login.
Please can anyone give me reason why this happen, and how I can stop this happening?
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 which was working fine till today.
If I try to login using one of my user accounts it directs me back to the login screen, which is followed by a black screen.
I am sure the password I enter is correct because if the password is wrong it prompts "Invalid Password".
On the other hand I am able to login using a root or guest account.
