Is there a module for Drupal 7 to reset passwords for all users. Same time it must send them email with new password or even better- link to create new one by them self.
There are some modules out there what I found but not doing what I need. For example http://drupal.org/project/account_reminder
I am starting to think that I have to write one by myself. Maybe combaining answer https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/27768/how-can-i-programmatically-reset-a-users-password and module http://drupal.org/project/account_reminder
Any other thoughts?
I'll add an answer because this question popped up in a google search for mass password reset
The module mass password change module https://www.drupal.org/project/mass_password_change does what you want.
This module adds a views bulk operation action to reset the passwords of selected users that you can use in a custom view or admin view
You might take a look at : http://drupal.org/project/force_password_change
I haven't tested yet but the description seems to define your needs.
wish helps,
Cheers,

So I'm dealing with app rejection "Guideline 1.2 - Safety - User Generated Content" and one of the features app want me to implement is "- A mechanism for users to block abusive users" Im not sure exactly how to put the code into action but know what i have to do which is
Step 1. Create class in Parse for blocked users, like: "Blocked"
Step 2. Create columns of type [String]: blockedBy & username (user is blocked)
Step 3. Query only users if current user is not in blocked list
Step 4. Add button to send PFObject to block a User
If someone can help i can provide info from my project. It would be much appreciated because I've been struggling with this for weeks.
Check out https://www.raywenderlich.com/98831/parse-tutorial-getting-started-web-backends tutorial. Great help, shows how to setup the local environment, the MongoDB, how to create a class within the local parse environment ran from the terminal, shows how to query, etc. Let me know if you have more specific questions I can help resolve.
In researching this scenario, all I could find was a suggestion that you contact Microstrategy, send them your metadata DB and ask them for the password.
This CAN'T be the only way.
Is there no way to simply reset the password in some fashion? Looking at the DSSMDUSRACCT table in the metadata DB, this appears to hold (at first glance anyway) a hashed/encrypted password, but I don't believe this is correct, as every entry for every account is the same in the PASSWD field.
Can someone suggest an alternative beyond sending a database to Microstrategy?
There isn't any alternative. We ended up in similar scenario and had Microstrategy reset the password. Password is not easily recoverable from Medadata since it is secured.
I'm not sure how many projects you have in your metadata or if you have access to another user that may have all privileges; but another option would be to create a new database, use MSTR configuration wizard to populate metadata tables, then duplicate the project across project sources into the new metadata that was just created. The Administrator user in this new metadata will have a blank password. If this is not an option then I recommend to open a support ticket (as others have suggested).
One of the things which one can try is to see any command manager script or system manager workflow. Every MicroStrategy environment may have atleast one of the above two things running in their environment. If you check the file, you may see the password for the administrator user. But in case if there is none of these being used then contacting MicroStrategy support would be the right thing to do.
Thanks,
Nikhil.
Benedict's right, there's no way they would keep passwords in plaintext in the metadata. You'll have to send it to them in a support ticket. It can take quite a few days, but they get the job done.
as soon as you get it reset use object manager, create a configuration object package for the administrator account and anytime you forget it, just redeploy the package to reset it.
You could try using the MicroStrategy Object Manager to copy the Administrator user from another project source/server to this environment.
This should do the trick if you have at least one other user with the right administrative privileges.
The other day I wanted to login to one of our applications. However, I forgot my username and password. I tried using the forgot password wizard but had no luck.
The steps I am about to walkthrough will work with most web applications with average logon security measures. It may not work with MicroStrategy, but should work if the input password is not externally verified.
So this is how I got access:
First I logged into my database manager -If you don't have access to
this... run a scan for 'password' on your server root. For Linux I
write sudo grep 'password' -roni or try: db_pass, dbpass,
database_password, etc as other search terms... The -roni will apply various filtering and
options to the search... aka line number, file name and etc. After
getting some results... find a likely file and open it to see if you
have your database details in there.
Login to your database manager. Find the table associated with your account. (This will usually have the name X_users If the password isn't hashed, just take it and login with it... if it is hashed... copy the hashed value to your clipboard.
Change the directory to your chosen applications root.
Run the scan with the search term 'password' or 'md5(' ...this will hopefully bring up a login controller file.
Edit the line within the function that takes your login input. Change the value 'md5($#####)' with '$#####', (aka removing the md5hashing of your input).
Reload the login page. Now, enter your username and hashed password copied from the database and login.
If done correctly you should now be logged into your web app.
Change the password of the account. Now go back to the login controller file and undo the chnages.
This might not be applicable with your app in question, but it's worth a shot! ....and if it isn't appropriate for your scenario... it could still be very helpful for someone else with a similar problem and different application. I just thought there's a small chance it may help someone who's locked out of one of their web applications. Rather than having to reinstall and lose data.
I'd be happy for you to improve on this or give some feedback.
I am currently trying to make a form for a website in work. I have created the script in Perl using Forms2Go and have entered the send mail and bin paths given to me. At the first the script wouldn't execute but the hosts made changes to the sever and now it does.
Problem now is the script executes and takes the user to the thank you page but doesn't send the form to the e-mail address which has been tested by the hosting company.
I have a feeling that the send-mail path isn't correct and that is why it is executing but not sending the email, anything else it might be?
Thanks for reading.

Forms To Go is payware and they do not provide their source code publicly which makes trouble-shooting by the general Internet populace rather difficult. Try their support forum instead. If you're looking for a form mailer that does not suck, install nms TFMail.
I am wanting to create a contact programmatically into the "local" addressbook (so that it doesn't try to synch, which causes some compatibility issues with Exchange).
If a local addressbook already exists, I can find it using ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllSources to get all the sources in the Address Book, then look for the ABRecordRef with a sourceTypeRef of "kABSourceTypeLocal"- if I then pass that recordRef to ABPersonCreateInSource, I can add a record to the local directory.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should best go about creating a record in the "local addressBook", if there ISN'T a local addressbook already?
(also, how could I do this pre-iOS4, as the above calls weren't available then?)
Thanks
Peter
You should take a look at this post:
Obtaining Specific ABSource from ABAddressBook in iOS 4+
that demonstrates how to identify and target specific sources (ABSource) within the ABAddressBook. While this code mentions the function, ABGroupCreateInSource(), there is a similar function, ABPersonCreateInSource() for working with persons.
I found a simple workaround.
Since you can't see/add local contacts when you don't have any pre-existing local contact, the following workaround will be safe to use:
Let's pretend you're using Gmail (Exchange)
Go to your Mail settings for Gmail and disable the Contact sync
When prompted whether you want to keep or remove the Gmail
contacts from your phone, choose to REMOVE them (don't worry, they
won't be removed from Gmail)
Go back to your contacts. You can now create one LOCAL contact
Finally, go back to Settings/Mail/Gmail and re-enable the
Contacts sync
Voila, your Gmail contacts are back into your phone and you now
have 1 local contact that enables you to access the Local contacts
group in addition to the Gmail contacts group.
Hope that helps (I just had the same problem and found this workaround that works great for me).

I'm wanting to make a password unlock screen for my app, and I'm not sure how I'd go about it.
I'm wanting it to look like the Apple-designed version of it, which is the passcode lock setting screen.
How might I go about doing something like this, where as soon as all four digits are entered the code is immediately checked against a pre-set password?
Thanks!
Just found a project that replicates this perfectly. I'm going to post this here for future reference in case anyone needs it.
https://github.com/guicocoa/pinview
most likely you create the view and when all the fields are set you check against the known password or you check the hash of the input passkey against the hash you have stored.
basically you have a stored password/hash and you check against that when you have all field filled in in your view.
when the password is correct (either by hash checking or password) you show your next view, otherwise you display an error saying the password is incorrect.
Here is another library, just in case someone is looking for something like this:

iOS 7 style Passcode. Complete functional demo with great documentation showing the different states (i.e Enable, Test, Change & Turn Off)
