Micros 3700 (windows 7) Password Expired Please HELP!

[BiggsRoadhouse]

Hello

I hope there is a simple solution, here but im scared not.

So I was half-asleep and typed in my password in the Micros Security box 5 times wrong,
which then locked my acocunt, and said see administrator. I try to log in as Administrator
but that password is expired since I didnt use it for years, and after 5 attempts that locked.

Now im panicking ??? I am more than happy to pay someone to fix it remotely if possible???

Thanks

By the way it is using ENHANCED SECURITY

You should be able to remove the disable on the user using dbisql

Is this a Windows Log on or Micros?

If Windows check out:

http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

Keep in mind if your system uses the account you are fixing, be sure to update any locations that may use the username and password. Otherwise it will lock the account out again. Also, the above method is for Local accounts on the PC/Server.

 

[BiggsRoadhouse]

Its the Micros log on! Thanks but my understanding is that only works for Windows.

 

[hosehead78]

Yes, that link I gave is only for windows. this is more of a pmegan issue then. hope pmegan reads it. I wouldn't know where to look in the DB for disable the locked account.

Lou, I just sent a text to your cell.

using dbisql (hopefully you have a sybase DB login if not different more complicated but still solve-able),

This will set your ID number in micros to something easily usable.

update micros.emp_def set id = '11',pc_appl_id='11' where obj_num = 555

Then you need to turn on classic security.

update micros.rest_def set ob_classic_security = 'T'

Then you should be able to run pos configurator and sign in with "11" assuming your employee number was 555 in the first place. You can skip this step if you already know your pc_appl_id.

After you do this you will want to switch this back

update micros.rest_def set ob_classic_security = 'F'

Or do it through the restaurant def form in POS configurator.

 

[pmegan]

Um, yeah. I was trying not to post instructions on hacking into the configurator, but that's about how to do it.

 

[pmegan]

One important point here is that you shouldn't do this while you're open for business. Setting classic security will sometimes blow out the enhanced security settings and POS Operations will tank.

When you turn enhanced security back on, make sure you have the following settings:
Days Until Password Expires: 90
Maximum Idle Time in Minutes: 15
Minimum Password Length: 7
Maximum Failed Logins: 4
Password Repeat Interval: 4
Require Alphanumeric Passwords: checked

Lol... for our next trick, someone should totally post the get dba utility!

 

[DJensen999]

The first rule of the getdba utility is that you don't talk about the getdba utility...

 

[hosehead78]

Wow, you two are terrible... you spoke of the thing that one is not supposed to speak of. For Shame.
