IBM Websphere security issue - Password reset - configuration

I have an issue with IBM Websphere,
We forgot our password and I followed the topic I found here in the forum to reset admin password.
How to reset password for admin account in IBM websphere 6.1?
Issue I have is when I disable security, I get into the websphere console but have NO option to get into security tab. No tab available except "tasks", so I cannot enable security nor reset the admin user there.
Also, after this, I cannot put security on again. I keep getting the login page with no password.
I tried the script with securityon instead of securityoff (sounds logical to me) but now it requests user password to do so...
If I manually edit the security.xml to put security enabled="true", I get a startup error...
UPDATE 1
There was an issue loading applications, so that's the reason why I could not get the menu on the left. However, I could not find any solution to it, and decided to restore the system.
Now I can get the menu list, but face another error when I try to reset the admin user with the wizard, at the last steps here is the message error I get :
SECJ7305E: Found other virtual member manager repository configurations. Only the built-in virtual member manager file-based repository is supported through the wizard
This actually blocks me, and I cannot go further.
I tried to run the wizard without activating security as well, but not working either.
I do not want to mess with user repositories as some repo's are configured... I just would like to reset the admin password :(
Anybody faced this issue? Any help/idea is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

PhpStorm Deployment - asks for login credentials every time

I setup deployment to sync my project code with the project on the FTP server where my website is stored.
However, I always have to login each time when I try to sync.
I even checked remember, but it does not work!
I am using the latest PhpStorm 2017.1.4
I tried it via sftp and ftp, the result is the same.
The Settings page for "Deployment" takes minimum 2 Minutes to load btw!
UPDATE:
I noticed that the credentials are not getting saved!
I've entered a username and password and clicked on save password, then on apply and OK. Then I close the settings menu.
If I open it again, then the fields for username and password are empty again!
Please switch to using KeePass in Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Passwords.
Generally, the Native Keychain should work too, but there might be some issues with it that need troubleshooting. If you want, submit a support ticket for PhpStorm, I'll take a look.

SSRS 2014 I cannot open http://localhost/Reports due to permissions

I've looked at a number of potential solutions to the but nothing seems to work.
Basically, I have installed SQL Server 2014 on my own PC.
Everything works fine with the exception of SSRS
Initially, inputting the URL http://localhost/Reports returned a blank screen.
Then, after a bit of research and playing around, I made a little progress.
Now, despite me been an admin on my own machine!, it's comes back with:
User does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows UAC restrictions have been addressed.
As I say, there are a couple of 'potential' solutions but they require access to the URL - which I simply cannot get.
I feel this is a security related problem but have tried all sorts of potential solutions.
Open the browser with run as Administrator.
If you get any prompt for username and password. Change your intranet browser setting.
I've found the answer and it seems to be a combination of things.
Via Reporting Services Configuration Manager Add an additional HTTP identity for both the web Service URL and Report Manager URL.
Set Host Header Name to localhost
Set TCP Port to 8080
Note, I also found that 80 clashed with Skype causing a 'Page cannot be displayed' error
Although I have amended my Skype setting, I also amended the SSRS port
I'm not sure how crucial this is but it worked for me
Through Control Panel
Search for UAC, select Change User Account Control Settings
Amend to Never Notify
I am still uncomfortable with this but have found no other way of getting this to work.

No permission localhost/reports error for DOMAIN\USERNAME

I've been searching for this problem all day. For some reason I get the error:
User 'DOMAIN\USERNAME' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
when I want to go to localhost/reports with my normal user account (it is administrator).
I tried all different ways posted on the internet and it still doesn't work.
As a last resort I tried to create a new user account on my pc with admin rights. And voila, it works. I run IE as administrator and I can connect to localhost/reports.
Now, why in the world cant I connect to the report server on my main account? Obviously it is an admin and I run IE as administrator.
I realy hope any of you can help me.
Greetings
PS: also, when I try to go to localhost/reportserver i get the error:
The permissions granted to user 'DOMAIN\USERNAME' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Finaly found a link that did it for me:

When SSRS stands itself up, it only adds the Builtin/Administrator to have access to the report manager. Run IE as Administrator and navigate to the report manager page. Then in Site Settings click on Security and add your normal user account as an administrator. That should do the trick.

Ejabberd Server not allowing user to login

Steps to Create the Issue:
logged into my ejabberd admin portal.
Added a User.
Attempted to login with the same configuration as a working account.
Pidgeon says "Not Authorized"
Additional info:
I see the user in the list of "Users" in the admin portal.
Whats wrong?
Note:
Restarting the server/service is not a viable option at the moment.
I don't know much about this at the moment, I inherited this project from someone else.
Turns out I entered the password wrong when I created the account. It works fine

Check the IE's 'User authentication' settings (refer to screenshot in

Hope your issue is solved now. But I was looking to overcome same problem, and as I got a solution. I thought some other people might get help from this.
I was trying to deploy a report to our production server but it would prompt for user credentials again and again but wont deploy the report, and everything seemed to be alright with the report.
I tried every credentials being used on the server but nothing worked.
Eventually I had a thought that there are .RDL, .RDS files being used to generate report and somehow the same should be uploaded on the server and this time I used the FTP User account credentials and Bingo!, it worked.
Hope this saves time of other people.
IE Settings:
Open Internet Explorer
Go to Tools and click on Internet Options
Under the Security tab, click on Trusted sites and click the Sites button and Add Report Manager/Report Server URL to the trusted
sites.
Then click Custom Level, and check the option Automatic logon with current user name and password
Repeat #3 and #4 for Local Intranet

Login into "Server"/ReportServer
Click on rdl file "drop down"
Select Manage
check if the Data Source's Connection String box is empty
If it's empty, provide the Connection String again
Select the Option Windows Integrated Security
Test and save your Connection String.
This will overwrite your localhost credentials.
