Hey Scott:

You helped us set up a macbook, imac, time capsule, etc in Oct 08.  

We are looking to add another macbook to the environment and having some trouble with some user ids and passwords for the time capsule and the printer.  I am not sure if the time capsule is connected through the imac.  If it is I might be able to find the user id and pw.  Also, I do not know how many failed log in attempts one gets before getting locked out.

Any thoughts will be helpful.

Please reply all. We realize it is a holiday and this is
not an emergency.

Happy Easter!

Passwords for time capsule:

There are three to consider.
1. the Password assigned to the wireless network
2. the password assigned to make changes to the router
3. the Password assigned to access the drive.

By default the hard drive’s password is the same as the network. All these settings can be changed from within airport utility. If you need to find any password, the first place to look is on a computer who already has access. Go to applications/utilites/keychain access. Launch this application and browse through until you find the password you’re looking for. You’ll need to put in that admin’s password to view the other password but it should show it.

If all else fails, you can always reset the basestation if you needed to.

Second concern,

There are unlimited attempts to password entering on OSX so nothing happens if you just try all night long. After 3 attempts the program will close the window but you can always just open it right back up again.

Hope this helps.
