I have a very odd problem. I had to reboot my server 10.4.5 and got a denial upon using my admin password. I changed the password from the installer DVD but to no effect. I get no errors just that vibrating denial. Also strange is the fact that i get no hint upon failure. It just goes on forever. Does anyone have a clue on how to reset this - or even better - what the reason might be behind this sudden denial? /tia

I've been having this problem since 10.4.0. It's gotten better as time has progressed, but the solution is to log in as a non-OpenDirectory user and reset ALL of the passwords. Then, hope that you don't have the same problem again after a reboot.

ACSA 10.4/10.3, ACTC 10.3, ACHDS 10.3
