I can't figure out how to change the webdav password. I've done some searching, found many resources of how to add a new user to webdav, but nothing about changing password. Anyone know?
Passwords are stored in webdav.htpasswd file.
If you open it, you will see an entry like this
wampp:XAMPP with WebDAV:bc7f2b670e7e965e307feb30492e642e
That's the entry for user wampp: in realm XAMPP with WebDAV: with password which is encrypted.
To change password, you should use htdigest.exe.
See manual. It is used to create and update user authentication files. You should find in the bin directory of xampp installation.
To do that, do :
htdigest.exe "pathto/webdav.htpasswd" "XAMPP with WebDAV" yourusername
This will be returned:
Adding user yourusername in realm "XAMPP with WebDAV"
You will then be asked for the password for yourusername
New password: yourpassword
Re-type new password: yourpassword
Reference: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=38897
Replace the content of the file C:\Program Files\xampp\security\htpasswd.webdav with your username, a colon and the password. Note: Everyone who can see this file can see the password!
Assuming you're talking about doing a password change at the server from a client, I don't believe WebDAV supports such a transaction.
You'd use something like a shell logon or a Web-based admin page to do this.
This always struck me as odd for a lot of network services, for example FTP or email. It seems to be common though.

I have to get rid of the clear text password in ActiveMQ server in the jetty-realm.properties file as part of the security requirements of our project.
I followed the procedure for encrypting passwords found here: https://activemq.apache.org/encrypted-passwords.html.
In Jetty-real.properties I replaced plain password with ${activemq.password}
But I could not login into the web console (http://localhost:8161/admin)
Are there additional config parameters I need to change? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For ecrypt password we can use jetty utility. This can be downloaded from http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/.
use:
java -cp lib/jetty-util-$JETTY_VERSION.jar org.eclipse.jetty.util.security.Password admin admin
admin
OBF:1u2a1toa1w8v1tok1u30
MD5:21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3
CRYPT:adpexzg3FUZAk
Add in bus\conf\jetty.xml\jetty-realm.properties
admin: MD5:21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3, admin
A very important note: the sequence of data specified by you should be as follows:
org.eclipse.jetty.util.security.Password [username] password
Also note that in some shells (like default on Ubuntu 20.04) the dollar sign inside the password will effectively truncate your password to the part preceding the dollar sign.

I got to work on project using Wordpress Bitnami stack. Original developer does not remember password for root user for MySQL database. I tried to follow the steps on Bitnami website.
https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/apps/wordpress/administration/change-reset-password/
It seems like everything went throught but I am still not able to access the database using root user.
This is whats inside my mysql-init.txt
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
Server's response is that this file have been executed but nothing.
I tried to change mysql-init.txt to following
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
CREATE USER 'admin'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
After this went throught I am able to access the database using Admin user but my root password does not work. That means file have been executed correctly it just does not update my root password for some reason.
Stack is on Win 10
DB:Distrib 5.7.24, for Win32 on AMD64
Command to run DB with init file:
C:\Bitnami\wordpress-4.9.8-2\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file="C:\Bitnami\wordpress-4.9.8-2\mysql\my.ini" --init-file="C:\Bitnami\wordpress-4.9.8-2\mysql\mysql-init.txt" --console
The problem was in the mysql-init.txt file. Somehow I got a new line at the end of the password.
Very strange issue but hey Its solved.
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass[Here was a new line]';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Just installed Nexus 3.0.0-03, started up, followed the doc, but can't login with default admin/admin123.
The only error I can see is the login refusal message:Incorrect username or password, or no permission to use the application.
user name is admin
There is password in /nexus-data/admin.password path in your nexus host.
cat /nexus-data/admin.password
you must change your password at first login
also If you implement nexus through docker, you should use command below:
docker exec -it <container_name_or_ID> cat /nexus-data/admin.password
You cannot create another admin user via configuration (without going deep down the rabbit hole), the initial user admin/admin123 should work.
Faced the same problem.
Steps I took to resolve it:
Open the admin.password file inside sonatype-work>nexus3 and copy it's contents.
Paste the copied value from step 1(from the admin.password file) into the password field. Enter 'admin' for the username.
Look into location:
/home/[yourHomeDirName]/sonatype-work/nexus3/admin.password
I'm trying to create an extranet user within sitecore but i'm having issues. I'm using the command Membership.CreateUser(username, password, email)
Nothing seems to happen though. No user is created in the extranet aspnetdb. No exceptions are thrown.
I also tried putting the domain as part of the user name: domain\username...and I get the error "You must specify a non-autogenerated machine key to store passwords in encrypted format. Either specify a different passwordFormat, or change the machineKey configuration to use a non-autogenerated decryption key.". My passwordFormat is Encrypted.
Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Did you try what the error message suggested? I would try setting your own Machine Key. More about that here. As always, do this in a test/dev environment.
You can use below code -
uname = string.Format(#"{0}{1}", domain, userName);
Membership.CreateUser(uname, password, email);
i forgot my drupal user id and password. Is there any way to recover it
http://example.com/<path-to-drupal>/user/password should bring you to a page where you can request a reset/new-password.
Edit:
The above path applies if you have 'clean URLs' enabled, if not use http://example.com/<path-to-drupal>/?q=user/password
This solution is valid for Drupal 5 or 6 but not for Drupal 7. This version does not use a standard hashed password. You can get your encoded password running the following command:
php /path_to_drupal_files/scripts/password-hash.sh your_password
Then you can see your password hash. This is the string that you should use in the database to update the admin password. You can use the following SQL query to update the Drupal database.
UPDATE users SET pass='YOUR_PASSWORD_HASH' where uid=1;
If you don't have access to the email (or want to bulk-update the passwords) you can update the database with a query like:
UPDATE users SET pass = md5('NEWPASSWORD') WHERE name = 'admin'
