Hello community. My boss just had one of the worst tech support experiences with Apple.

For some time now on his iPhone he keeps getting a continuous prompt for Voice-mail password and he cannot get rid of it. It is very annoying. At first he contacted ATT but they passed the buck over to Apple.

Anyways he called them and explained to them that when this first occurred he went to the Apple store and one of the "Genius" told him to create a new password for his apple ID or perhaps it was get a new Apple ID and password and that would resolve the problem.

Regardless of how it was done he followed their instructions. At first it cleared things up but only for a short while and it came back and never went away. Basically today on the phone they said it was his fault for doing those steps and they made him look like an idiot.

He yelled at them saying they were idiots. I don't understand how one of the most valuable and recognizable companies can treat a customer this way when all he is asking is some simple help in regards to this issue.

So now I turn to the community for help. Has anyone come across this continual password prompt and if so were you able to fix it?

Thank you

jesus.. he got the run around.. I had this same issue before with my daughters iPhone. Once I put in the voicemail password right it fixed it. Default is like 0000 if you can't figure it out, you can download the AT&T mobile app, there is a tab on it called reset voicemail password and that will fix it.

HOpe this helps

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
