Account logged In but can't remember the Password
The tittle sums it up, my boss has a skype account and has been logged for 1 year in that computer and forgot her password, now shee need to change computer and doesn't remember the password (not even the user)... so it's there a way to see the password for a logged account?
Hi, HernanCortes, and welcome to the Community,
Hopefully the account's registered e-mail address is still valid and working. You can see the Skype account's name by reviewing the profile details; the account name will appear at the very top of the profile window.
If the account is still logged in, click on Skype -> Change Password.
More ways to change an account password (seeing as you did not specify which version of Skype is being used on which operating system) can be found in these FAQ articles:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA109/i-can-t-sign-in-to-skype
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA95/how-do-i-change-my-password
To answer your question, no; there is no way to see the password.
Regards,
Elaine

I'm trying to restore my 3GS from a previous back-up point on my PC, but I can't remember the password and if I wrote it down I can't find it. I don't want to do a complete factory restore as I'll lose all my data (phone numbers etc) and I still won't be able to access the restore data. Can anyone help?
If you forgot the passcode for the lock screen, follow this article, connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore and restore: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If you can't remember the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
iTunes: About iOS backups
iTunes and encrypted backups
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device. -

What do I do if i can't remember the password to get into my airport time machine.
The hard drive on laptop died and was replaced. I want to use my backup to restore but can't remember the password to the Time Machine.
You mean the password because you encrypted your backups or your wifi password? If encrypted backups, I think you are really really out of luck but hope others can help. It is my understanding that without that password, there is nothing you can do with your backups or even access them from another computer, that's the purpose of encrypting them.

I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?
Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

I recently had to do a factory restore on my iphone 4s. Upon trying to set up my phone again I am being asked to sign into my icloud account. I can't remember the password or the email I used to set it up. I know my Apple ID, password and email for that account, but that doesn't allow me to get back into my phone. I can't reset the icloud password because I can't remember the email I used. Any ideas on what I can do please ?
Hi, Fugalltadowivu.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like Activation Lock has been enabled on this device. Here is some helpful information regarding this feature.

If you purchased your device from a third party, this device may be locked to their Apple ID. If this is the case you may want to check out the article below.

HT204053 How do I delete an apple Id account that I can't remember the password to get into
I cannot get into my apple id account/ iCloud because I can't remember my password or the security questions so I created a new account but can't get the old one deleted and I am trying to down load apps on my phone but can't because I need to delete my old apple I'd account.
To change the ID for:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. -

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I have an iCloud email and Yahoo email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan. -
so my sister created an iCloud account for me but she has forgotten the password...she has also forgotten the password for the associated email such that I can't retrieve my password....how do I delete the old account so that I can create a new one???
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. -
This is an old account (years) and I can't remember the answer to one of the test questions, either
Thank you for any help.
