Can I reset a password for Time Capsule?

I have forgotten my password and cannot do a back-up without it. Help please.

Start with this User Tip from forum expert Tesserax:

If that is not successful, your next option is to perform a Soft Reset to reset the password(s) on the Time Capsule.  This Apple Support document will tell you how:

  • Trying to connect wireless printer, asking for password for time capsule?

    Trying to connect new wireless printer and it's asking for my password for my time capsule.  I don't remember that I had entered one initially, but maybe I did and just forgot.  Any way to retrieve a password for time capsule?

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click on Edit in the small window
    Click the Base Station menu at the uppermost top of the computer screen up where the Help, File, Window, etc menus appear
    Click Show Passwords

  • Can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    Sure enough...
    The 90 day period basically applies for telephone support if you don't have Apple Care (a three year apple hardware/apple software coverage that would be similar to an extended warranty for your TV) with the outstanding feature that you have unlimited telephone support for the entire 3 year period beginning when your Mac was first purchased.
    Your situation is similar to mine: I bought my MBP this august and just (literally) bought the 2TB TC. So the three year period began when the Mac was purchased and will run out when the MBP reaches it's exact 3 year anniversary. I went 4 or 5 levels above the sales staff and reached an individual at Apple whose exact title is: Sales & Service Management Representive. The first question I asked was is my TC covered under Apple Care and for how long, etc.: as the TC (as well as the MBP) have only a limited1 year warranty without Apple Care.
    If you've been following the posts on this exact site and several others, you'll see many upon many TC's experience a premature death around 18-24 months. So IMHO I think Apple Care is a good deal: coverage for your Mac as well as the TC (double coverage).
    On a lighter note something like double your pleasure double your fun: Xerox your paycheck!
    cheers...

  • HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer

    Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?

    With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
    Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it.  However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security.  The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password.  However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
    To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected.  So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

    I can't find a place to reset the password for a Creative Cloud team member who is no longer employed by us.  Can I reset the password as administrator? 

    I have an open workstation with multiple people using it, and one of them has left.  I don’t want to start over but I want to change the password so only current employees can use that seat.  Suggestions?

  • Can you reset the password for my airport base station?

    I am trying to connect my Airport Extreme to my new modem and i need to open the Airport utility to see what the problem is however i do not have the password to the Airport base station.  Apparently it is not the wireless password that i set previously set up.

    If you have a Mac that can connect to your wireless network and you're using an Apple AirPort Base Station, then simply use AirPort Utility. From the Base Station menu, select Show Passwords...
    If you don't have a Mac, reset your wireless network password by momentarily depressing the reset button on your AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. Press the button for one full second, no more. Then, configure a new password using AirPort Utility.
    If you can't connect to your wireless network, or you are not using an Apple AirPort Base Station, you can use the procedure that follows below to retrieve it from your Mac's Keychain.
    Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
    You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
    On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
    In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
    Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
    If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password" not "AirPort network password".
    Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
    You will get the following window:
    In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
    Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
    Make note of it.
    Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

  • Forgotten password for time capsule

    Forgotten password for my time capsule

    Which one,, there are several..
    If you still can get into the TC.. ie you have not lost the basic admin password.. the airport utility will give you full clear passwords for everything else.. exciting eh real security.
    If you managed to even lose the admin password.. then I strongly suggest.
    1. Don't bother changing it from public.. then you cannot forget it.
    2. Soft reset the TC.. and magically.. all passwords are null and void for 5 min to give you time to change them all.. exciting eh.. such great security.
    Soft reset.. you press the reset button for 1sec. That means 1-4sec.. or less than a hard reset.

  • HOW DO you FIND PASSWORD for Time capsule?

    How do I find the password for a time capsule

    Sorry but it is so diffiicult to answer this question..
    Is this the wireless password. Or the admin password or the disk password.. or pppoe password, orr even the user password.
    There are at least 3 and maybe 10 different passwords depending on the setup.. we have no idea which one you need.
    Press reset for 1sec.. then the router will reset and you can change all the passwords to whatever you want.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3372
    This time write down the password.

    I can't. Rest my password

    Resetting your password shouldn't force any sort of download...
    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,
