Solving Problems

This section describes some problems you may encounter while using Macintosh Manager
and provides troubleshooting tips and possible solutions. If your problem is not addressed
here, you may want to check Macintosh Manager Help or consult the AppleCare Knowledge
Base online.

I’ve Forgotten My Administrator Password

Contact your Mac OS X Server administrator if you forget your password. If necessary, the
server administrator can change your password using the Workgroup Manager application.

Administrators Can’t Get to the Finder After Logging In

If you have system access, you can choose the System Access workgroup when you log in. If
you don’t have system access, and you need to go to the Finder often, ask your Macintosh
Manager administrator to enable system access for your account.

You can bypass Macintosh Manager login by pressing Command-Shift-Esc when the Welcome
dialog box appears. Then enter either the computer owner’s password or a local
administrator’s name and password.

Generic Icons Appear in the Items Pane

If generic icons appear in the Items pane of the Workgroups pane in Macintosh Manager,
restart the computer with Mac OS 9 and rebuild the Desktop file.

Selecting “Local User” in the Multiple Users Control Panel Doesn’t
Work

You cannot use both Macintosh Manager client software and the Multiple Users control panel
on the same computer.

If you want to set up local users, do not install Macintosh Manager client software on the
computer. Instead, install the Multi-User Startup extension and use the Multiple Users control
panel version 1.4.1.
