Admin password is not recognized in my daughters acct

Ive set up an accouont for my daughter and have set the parental controlls for the account. When we try to download a game or make any change she is prompted to enter an Admin username and password. This is where the problem is. I enter my username and password (it is the same form day one and has never been changed and I can actively use it to make changes when logged into my user/admin user.)and it will not accept it and will not allow me to make changes to her acct.
please help before i throw this computer out the window!

My daughters had the same problem with both of their iPod Touches.  One logged back into iMessage and FaceTime, the other consistently would not with the same error, "An error occurred during activation.  Try again." 
Check your date and time.  Its likely incorrect.  Once the date is corrected.  Restart the device. 
For what ever reason, some devices lose track of the date.  In my case, apparently, my daughters change the date to affect a particular game by advancing the date.  Little cheaters. (LOL)
Hope this helps!

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

  • How do you reset Admin password (when not logged in as Admin)??

    Here's my predicament. I set up 3 accounts on our laptop - one for me and my wife (Standard accounts) and a House Account as the only Admin. Now, I don't remember the password for the House Account, which serves as the Admin.
    I am trying to load new software, but it request administrative privileges. To make matters worse, when I try to install the MAC OSX startup disk (like the help manual says you should to reset the admin password), before my computer will restart the startup disk, it asks me for the Admin password. Because I am not logged in as the Admin, I can't even restart the computer when prompted by the startup and install the OS again.
    Any suggestions or help with this issue?
    Eric

    Did you create an Open Firmware password as well? If not then just insert the OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the 'C' key until the spinning gear appears below the dark gray Apple logo.

  • Iphone - wifi password is not recognized

    hi,
    I'm really going crazy with my iphone.
    since a software update last week, my wifi connection at home is not working anymore.
    I've tried everything described on the support side and things I found here in the forum, as
    1. Tap Settings > WiFi > Other network
    2. Enter the name of the network you are trying to log onto
    3. Tap Security and tell the iPod what type of security the network is using
    4. Tap Password and enter the network password
    TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
    If this still doesn't work, reset your network settings (tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings and try the steps above again once the iPhone restarts.
    TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
    my router at home is from linksys...
    as I said, until last week, it worked properly without any problems...
    now, the iphone only finds my wifi and asks for the password and after typing it I always geht the info, that network connection failed...
    I have no ideas anymore what I can do and would highly appreciate your help

    I'm sure, this is a really stupid question now, but how can I do a software update on my linksys router?
    I cannot find anything when I'm opening my linksys router page?

  • Making changes in a User's account, my admin's account not recognized

    Just upgraded A Quicksilver 2002 G4 to Leopard from Panther.
    Used Upgrade and everything worked amazingly well. I'm the admin, my wife & daughter are users.
    All three of us can log in using the names and passwords we have always used
    Only trouble is: when in a user account and making system preference changes and am consequently asked for an administrator name and password, it will not accept my administration name and password - says I've entered an incorrect user name & PW.
    The Admin name is in this form: XXX, Xxxx
    The password is an 8-digit alphanumeric string.
    Could the comma-then-space of the Admin name be throwing off my ability to make the necessary System Preference changes?
    I can't figure it out. Should I change my user name and password? Why is this happening?
    Any help appreciated.
    TIA

    Are you trying to make these changes in your admin account or in one of the other standard accounts when logged into them? You cannot log into, say, your daughter's account and make changes to her account preferences without authenticating. You also cannot access her files and folders from your admin account.
    On the other hand if you are trying to make all these changes while logged into your administrator account, then it is likely there's a problem with the keychain. You could try this:
    Assuming that you are using a recent build of OS X, go to /Applications/Utilities and launch the app called Keychain Access. Go to the Window pulldown menu and select "Keychain First Aid". Enter your password, set the radio button to "Repair", and click "Start".

  • ARD admin password will not hold

    I recently had to have my MacBookPro replaced under warranty. I cloned the hard drive from the old machine to the new. All good except a few apps needed to be re-registered. ARD on the other hand will not hold/remember my password. I accepts the password and I can use ARD but the next time I launch it it requires the password again. Any ideas about how I can get the password to hold?
    many thanks
    Mark

    Yeah!.. thanks Dave. I now always run as a standard user. I logged on as Admin and entered the serial number and it held! Great. Thank you. It is the only app I have which had done this so far. Most just ask to authenticate. Weird that it did not protest, just did not do it.
    thanks again

  • Forgot admin. password will not let me in have to use guest. how do I get my admin. PASSWOE]RD/

    LOCK OUT FORGOT ADMIN. PASSWORD HELP?

    Its probably too late for you, but just in case..
    You may not be aware that all late Windows OS have a hidden admin called Administrator which is only visible in Safe Mode. (Ever wondered why you can't call yourself "Administrator" - now you know!)  It is used by maintenance people.
    To solve your problem, boot in Safe Mode.  Log in as "Administrator" - it has no password.  Now you can reset the password, or delete and re-instate your normal (visible) admin.
    By the way, you said you can only log in as Guest.  If you always log in as admin, be aware that this is bad practice.  It gives you much more access than you need for normal tasks, and along with that the ability to corrupt or destroy vital software, including the OS!
    If you are the administrator or sole user of a computer, you should have two login names - one for admin, and another for all other uses set up as a normal user (no privileges), preferably with a different password.
    Use that admin login only for those things that need it - installing new programs, updates, etc.  

  • Password suddenly not recognized

    I upgraded to Yosemite & everything was fine. I had to restart my computer recently because it froze while burning a cd & when I went to log back in it suddenly  doesn't recognize my password. I never changed it. This is the administrator account as well. Not sure what to do. I can get into some of the other accounts but none of my music or photos are available in those accounts.

    I actually had another admin account that I could log into & fixed my password.

  • I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

    I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
    I cannot sign in.  the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
    This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com  I don't even know what that is.  I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them.  I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod.  Anyone know how to deal with this.  I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.
