Okay, I think I did something stupid here. I had forgotten my Win10 user account (steph) Password. This is an admin account.
1) Using a Linux-type usb-boot utility, I've been able to blank the password. Upon reboot, I entered a blank password but I still cannot login, it seems that my account physically on the computer now doesn't match my Hotmail credentials -or something- and I'm still locked out.
2) Using the same Linux usb boot utility, I've unlocked the 'Administrator' account. Now I can login using the 'Administrator' account but from the Control Panel, I cannot change my own user account (steph) password, the option for it is just not there (perhaps it's because the password is believed to be blank?)
3) Later I've been able to find the piece of paper on which I wrote my original password for my own account.
Q: Is there's a way to set my original password back to what it was in order to unlock my account?
Thanks.
Many Linux usb boot utilities can work with local account only. I suggest you set up a new Microsoft account on your PC, and point it to your old profile directory. Then remove your original Microsoft account from Control Panel.
I have a solution where I had a user1. I have add this user in the Admin group to give him access to the server. Then I change the name in admin and set the password to admin1234. Then ehn I start the server and it ask for the pass, I enter the new one but it doesn't work. So I remove my user and create a new one, still the same... I remove all the user and have only the default Admin group with no user, but still impossible to run anything. I always get ask for the admin pass when I have no user in the directory.
I have try to do a custom required.js function, I have try with the basic settings... I tried everything but I can't make my project to run.
Anybody have an idea of what should I do to fix this problem?
Try to remove the admin user, kill the server process and then create a new admin user.
I had the same issue a long time ago and this worked for me.
After starting ObjectGears the first time I created administrator as the first user. I configured everything with this user and then imported other users.
Now I do not know if I can delete this user. I do not want to lose admin access.
You can delete it. The fact that some account is admin is set in the file web.configu in the parameter AdminLogins. So admin can be anybody who has the account included here.
You can also leave this parameter blank and then nobody will be able to change any configuration in the instance, supposing you also delete model owners.
I need some help in understanding a problem. Here is the scenario. We have a windows domain controller machine and several machines in that domain. (Everything in windows 2008). In one of the machines in that domain (machine name AlphaSiter) our own custom java based product is installed. To log on into our product, you have to provide a user/password combo which is validated against the active directory. Now here is the scenario.
Log into the domain controller and create a user (say David) in the active directory and set the “User must change password in next login option”.
Go to the machine called AlphaSiter where our custom product is installed and try to login to our product with the newly created user credentials and then change password successfully.
The side affect is that in the AlphaSiter machine in C:\Users the user folder is created..that is c:\Users\David. Also this folder is only created if at the time of user creation the “User must change password in next login option” is set. This user folder is not created if the option is unchecked. We are not creating the folder programmatically from our code. So I am wondering how this folder is getting created.Is it something that windows does internally?
Any help on this would be appreciated as I have to give explanation to our customer ---:)
The user's profile folder is always created when there is some profile information that needs to be stored. It may be some registry settings in HKCU hive.
You can use RegMon to track regitry activity.
I was setting up another user to use our SVN repository. He didn't have a username/password, so I logged in with my credentials. We now have a username/password for him.
How do I get TortoiseSVN to logout and forget the old password so I can enter the new username/password?
Open Windows Explorer.
Right-click anywhere in the window.
Click TortoiseSVN → Settings.
Click Saved Data.
Click Clear beside Authentication Data (see below).
Check the authentication items to clear.
Click OK.
All saved Authentication Data for all projects is deleted.
You will have to re-enter credentials to reconnect.
There are several ways to do it, through settings or by deleting the cache.
Deleting the cache is the most versatile method. First, locate it:
On XP, it was located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Subversion\auth\svn.simple\
On Vista, it was located here:
C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple\
Then look in those files with Notepad, and delete the one with your credentials.
If you want to remove only one saved password, e.g. for "user1":
Go to the saved password directory (*c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple\*)
You will find several files in this folder (named with hash value)
Find the file which contains the username "user1", which you want to change (open it with Notepad).
Remove the file.
Next time you will connect to your SVN server, Tortoise will prompt you for new username and password.
When you use Integrated Windows Authentication (i.e., Active Directory Single Sign-On), you authenticate to AD resources automatically with your AD credentials. You've are already signed in to AD and these credentials are reused automatically. Therefore if your server is IWA-enabled (e.g., VisualSVN Server), the server does not ask you to enter username and password, passing --username and --password does not work, and the SVN client does not cache your credentials on disk, too.
When you want to change the user account that's used to contact the server, you need use the Windows Credential Manager on client side. This is also helpful when your computer is not domain joined and you need to store your AD credentials to access your domain resources.
Follow these steps to save the user's domain credentials to Windows Credential Manager on the user's computer:
Start Control Panel | Credential Manager on the client computer.
Click Add a Windows Credential.
As Internet or network address enter the FQDN of the server machine (e.g., svn.example.com).
As Username enter your domain account's username in the DOMAIN\Username format.
Complete the password field and click OK.
Now when you will contact https://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo or a similar URL, the client or web browser will use the credentials saved in the Credential Manager to authenticate to the server.
After struggling with this and trying all the answers on this page, I finally realized I had the incorrect credentials stored by windows for the server that hosts our subversion. I cleared this stored value from windows credentials and all is well.

Replace the line in htpasswd file:
Go to: http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator-windows/
(If the link is expired, search another generator from google.com.)
Enter your username and password. The site will generate an encrypted line. Copy that line and replace it with the previous line in the file "repo/htpasswd".
You might also need to Clear the 'Authentication data' from TortoiseSVN → Settings → Saved Data.
