Find the user you want to reset the password for and click the edit icon next to them.
Next to "password", choose MD5 in the drop down, type in a new password, and then click Go.

How to store password in a field using openerp

In my database 15 users are have their login and password. If any user change their password then we don't know the users current password. I want to save the password of each users that admin have the only permission to view.If any user changed their password, then admin can know their password, because if we want to login with particular user then it results wrong password.
or
when I login to odoo there is no option to save the password, the username is restore but I want to keep the password automatically fill in the field, does anybody know how to do it?
Thanks........
It's not a good idea to save a password unencrypted in your database.
I'd suggest to take a look at the auth_admin_passkey module.
This would give you the possibility to login at all useraccounts with the admin password.
If you really want to save the new password you could override the write method from res.users and check for the field "password". this way you could save the password to your desired field before it gets encrypted.

Error Testing My Data on api.parse.com Using Their Keys

I am new to Parse.com and am trying to test the data I have created on their platform but it is not going through. I have followed the book am reading and it's time to test the data I have created on Parse but it's not working.
I am supposed to type the following address into the browser and receive all the data I have created under the "Products" class as JSON in the browser. I am doing it to test it if it is working.
https://<appID>:javascript-keys=<jsKEY>#api.parse.com/1/classes/Products
appID is replaced with my Parse-applicationID and jsKEY is replaced with my Parse-JavascriptKEY. When I enter the above address into the browser, a dialog box appears asking me to enter my username and password. I typed my www.Parse.com username and password but its not working.
First, I receive a confirmation box with the following message:
You are about to log in to the site "api.parse.com" with the username "<appID>".
appID is the application ID from parse.com
I will click OK and then I receive a prompt dialog box with two input fields for username and password. I enter my parse.com username and password but then it does not work. I also try to use the <appID> as the username and with the parse.com password but still it does not work.
The dialog box means that the authentication failed, so they ask for your username and your password again. The URL scheme is https://user:password#api.parse.com/1/classes/Products. So when the dialog ask for your username and password it actually ask for your appID as username, and your jsKey (with the string "javascript-key=" in front of it) as password.
The issue here is that you are adding a s at the end of key in the string javascript-key=.

How to send the old password of a user who forgot it?

I need a solution to send the OLD password of a customer who click and enter his email address in Forgot your password page. The default email template send just a link inviting the customer to reset his password at the site's page.
The current password is saved as MD5. You can't send them their current password.

Unable to sign up at Heroku

I am unable to create an account at Heroku.com for some reason. Note that I do not have an account and am trying to create one.
I am able to click "Sign Up" on the home page, input my email address, receive the validation email, follow the link from validation email to page where input password and then am supposed to click "Save". At this screen, my email address has already been filled out (since I followed the link from the email) so I just pick a password, and put the same password in the "Confirm Password" box.
At this point I would expect the "Save" button to light up (or allow me to click it) but nothing happens when I click it.
I would check the Heroku site for help but am required to log in before getting help.
Using Chrome on Win 7. Using Lastpass for password management.
Heroku requires that the password be typed in rather than automatically added with something like Lastpass. Once the password has been typed in, the "Save" button will light up and allow you to proceed.

System users password has expired

I have just tried to login to my db via sql developer as system so i can create a new user. It has come with an error that the password has expired.
I have googled a bit but cannot see how to reset the system user password. I guess this is a security issue.
My problem is how can I log in as system if the password has expired? How can I unexpire the password without logging in as System users. I seem to be stuck here in a loop where I cannot reset the password expiration.
Open up cmd.exe and type in SQLPLUS
Enter user-name: SYSTEM
Enter password: the expired password
It will now let you type in a new password for the SYSTEM user
If SQLPLUS is not available, you can also reset an expired password from within SQL Developer:
Save your connection information (if not done already)
Right click on your connection
Click on the “Reset Password” option in the menu, enter old/new password blah blah blah
If someone drops by from a Google search but uses IntelliJ:
You can reset the system password in the connection properties' "Advanced" tab. There you can set the new one as a value for the oracle.jdbc.newPassword key.
