How to recover your minecraft password if you forgot it. Change the password on the Minecraft server through your personal account and in the client

Minecraft players are famous for their collecting and storing a lot of things. This does not include what buildings and mechanisms they create. It will be annoying for anyone, even a novice player, to lose everything they have. This can happen due to a ban on the server or griefing (sabotage), but most often there is a loss of access to the character. Fraudsters and hackers use different methods to find out or select passwords for player accounts and appropriate them for themselves. Of course, bans and griefers can be avoided by playing honestly and following safety rules, but with attackers things are more serious.

Many users often create deliberately simple and weak passwords, which are easy for hackers to guess, which is what they do. To avoid this situation, you should change your Minecraft password.

Password requirements

Password requirements in Maina are no different from any other services. Attackers are everywhere, so you have to come up with complex combinations. Below is a short list with specific tips for creating a good secret combination:

You should not use popular and common combinations of symbols, such as “qwerty”, “159753”, “qazwsx”, etc., attackers have known about them for a long time and if you use such a combination, the chances of losing your account are very high.
The key must be easy to remember so that you can remember it without any problems. A complex key is good, but what's the point if the user himself cannot remember it.
In addition to the fact that the key should be light, it shouldn't be short. The recommended key length is from 10 to 16 characters. This will be optimally difficult to hack and easy enough to remember on your own.
When creating a combination you should use both numbers and letters different register. You need to understand that the keys “dima178” and “DiMA178” are different passwords and the second one is much more complicated.
Do not use the same secret combination on different services. From the point of view of remembering, this is convenient, but there is a high probability that if one account is hacked, you will lose all the others.

After carefully reading all the tips, you can proceed to changing your password in Minecraft.

How to change the password in Minecraft on the server

To change the login key in Minecraft, you should go to the server, switch the keyboard layout to English and follow these steps:

Change your password on the official Minecraft website

In order to change the secret combination on the official website you need to:

How to recover Minecraft password on the official website

If, after repeated attempts to log into your account on the official website of the game, nothing works, then most likely the password was entered incorrectly or attackers gained access to the account. However, it is possible to restore access. To do this, use the “Forgot your password?” function:

After which the key will be changed and you can easily log in to the site.

This article discusses the situation of recovering a domain administrator password. For the example, a Windows Server 2008R2 domain controller was chosen (to be modest). Naturally, I don’t know the account passwords and I admit that they are quite complex, and therefore there is no particular point in checking the “sex,god,123,password” options.

Going to Google and entering “Reset Password Domain Administrator” in the search bar, the first line takes me to the Israeli MVP website, which describes in detail the process of resetting the domain administrator password. One thing, to use this method you need to know the DSRM administrator password. For those who have forgotten, I’ll explain that this account is stored locally on the domain controller and is used in cases when your directory service is “very bad”, i.e. recovery. But alas, I don’t know this password.

Therefore, I open the second bookmark in the browser and again enter the text “linux cd for reset administrator password” into Google and look for a boot disk image that will allow me to reset the DSRM password. And on the website of the American specialist Petter Nordahl-Hagen I find the required disk. You can download it.

Select the hard drive partition with the system. I have two of them and this is not surprising. Windows Server 2008 R2 creates a 200 megabyte partition in case Bitlocker is enabled.

I select the option “ Password Reset” and press Enter.

Next I say that I want to edit the account.

I indicate that I am interested in an account Administrator.

And in the end I come up with a request for what to do with this account. I reset the password to empty, although you can simply set your own password.

Don’t forget to save the changes you make, otherwise your actions will be of no use. After saving, I go to reboot and when the computer starts, I press F8 to access the selection of download options.

Naturally, I select the download option “ Directory Service Restore Mode” to log in as a DSRM administrator.

I select “login with a different account” i.e. local login and enter if I changed the password or leave the DSRM administrator password blank.

Next I do the following: create on disk C: folder named “ tools” and copy into it the contents of a set of utilities borrowed from MVP, although all these utilities are in the Resource Kit from Microsft. You can download it. And I add the file to this folder cmd.exe, taken from the catalog C:\Windows\System32.

Then I open the command line and run the command

instsrv PassRecovery “C:\tools\srvany.exe”

This will give me the opportunity to run srvany.exe, as a service with a name PassRecovery and it will start with SYSTEM privileges.

Only a little remains. Open the registry editor and expand the branch

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PassRecovery

This branch was created when installing the service a step above.

In it we create a folder for our future keys with the name Parameters. That's just the name.

I create two registry keys with names Application And AppParameters.

Application points to let to the command line in our folder.

AppParameters describes what should be executed on this command line. And the command “ will be executed there net user” and reset your account password administrator(this time domain) on Pa$$w0rd. Such a wonderful password was not chosen by chance, it simply meets the complexity requirements that will be checked when the password is reset.

name: Application
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: c:\tools\cmd.exe

name: AppParameters
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: /k net user administrator Pa$$w0rd /domain

Finally I find the service I created PassRecovery and in its properties I put a tick “ Allow Service to interact with desktop" You can reboot in normal mode.

When I booted and made sure that the password was reset, the service must be stopped and deleted, followed by all files from the C:\tools folder.

net stop PassRecovery
sc delete PassRecovery

Conclusion: The method is clumsy (+ button accordion), but as effective as a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

Typically, servers constantly generate passwords for new users. This is terribly inconvenient, and if you play regularly, the easiest thing in this case is to create your own original code for authorization on the server. It is usually recommended to change passwords in Minecraft on the server and not only at least two to three times a month to maintain the security of your account. Of course, this is not necessary, but nevertheless it will not take much time and will to some extent protect your account, if not from creepers, then at least from basic account loss.

Many users don't know how to do this. After all, despite the friendliness of the simple interface, Minecraft is still not so easy for beginners to learn, even in such things.

Changing your password via the website

First, try to do this directly through the game server website itself (if it is not available, proceed to the next step). Usually this is easy to do in your personal account settings, but I hasten to warn you, to change the old password For the new one you need to know the old password. If you have forgotten it, then try to restore it using a special form in the same personal account; this will require the email address you specified during registration.

Once you find the letter, follow the instructions included in it. In its absence, you should write to technical support, the processing time for such applications usually takes a few days and it may be easier to create a new account. When submitting an application, you must provide as much evidence as possible to confirm your ownership of this account. But it is possible that despite all efforts, the application will be rejected, since it is very difficult for you to prove ownership of the account.

Changing your password via the Minecraft client

If the server does not support the change in the way presented above, then get ready to feel like a real programmer, because in the Minecraft client itself it is somewhat more difficult to do this, you will have to enter special commands to the game chat. The inconvenience does not end there, there are many commands and variations for changing it, so first of all you need to find out which one is right for you. First, try searching for the one you need on the website or forum of the Minecraft server website; usually such questions are raised in the section for novice players/beginners.

Today, the director of a neighboring enterprise turned to me for help with a request to recover the administrator password for Windows Server 2008. It turns out that he gave the employee the password for the admin account so that she could work in 1C. Do not create a new user so that a temporary employee can work for a couple of days)))))).

I don’t know how or why she did it, but she managed to change the admin password. Moreover, she assured that she did not do this and in general she is “YOU” with computers. Well, if they ask, then you need to help, especially since an extra “penny” won’t hurt.

In principle, there is nothing complicated. As in the article with, we will need to replace the file. But just as in the case of the seven, I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have an installation disk with Windows Server 2008 on hand.

But I always have some on hand on board. I inserted the flash drive, booted into the LiveCD, opened “Computer” and voila, drive “C” is visible and available for reading/writing.

Now go to the \Windows\System32\ folder and find the file there Utilman.exe

Rename it to Utilman-backup.exe, so that you can restore it later.

Now we find the file cmd.exe copy it and paste it into the same directory so that it looks like in the screenshot

We will not touch the original cmd.exe file, but we will now rename the copy to Utilman.exe.

After these steps, the command launched by Utilman will open the command line. This is exactly what we need. Reboot the server and wait for the window for entering credentials. When it appears, click on the icon in the lower left corner of the screen

It was this button that displayed the accessibility panel, in which you can open the on-screen keyboard, etc. But, after replacing the files, it will open the command line.

For various reasons, access to the 1C:Enterprise server may be lost, and then when we try to launch the cluster console, we will see a prompt to enter authentication data, but we will not be able to do anything:

We will not discuss the reasons that led to this. Let's start solving the problem. We need to restore access to the server in any way. It doesn’t matter whether we reset the password or select authentication data.

Let's take the fastest route. We have administrator rights on the server, so we can do it with the least amount of effort.

Solution

First of all, let's stop the "1C:Enterprise 8.2 Server Agent" service. To do this, run on the command line:

Sc stop" 1 C:Enterprise 8 . 2 Server Agent"

The same can be done through the graphical utility "Services":

Based on the file data, it can be judged that an “Adm” administrator was added to the server with a certain password. We can either replace the data with the user we need with the “correct” password, or delete the entry about the server administrator. Let's choose the last method. This is what the contents of the file now look like:

Let's start the server service. The next time you start the 1C:Enterprise server cluster console, the program will not ask for authentication data.

Bottom line

The article describes a method for resetting the administrator account for a 1C:Enterprise 8.2 server. It is worth considering that administrator accounts can be added for each infobase separately. In this case, look at the file "1CV8Reg.lst", which is usually located in the directory:

" C:Program Files (x86) 1 cv82srvinforeg_1541"

where "reg_1541" is the cluster settings directory, the directory name of which depends on its settings.

This file stores infobase settings, as well as authentication data of cluster administrators.

The authentication data of each IS coincides with the corresponding authentication data of the users of this information base. In order to open the properties of the database in the cluster, you need to enter the login and password of an information security user with administrative rights.

Now you already know what you need to do. Under no circumstances should you consider the described method of resetting 1C:Enterprise server administrator accounts as hacking, since without administrator rights nothing like this (stopping the server service, accessing the server settings directory, etc.) can be done.
