Can't change password on migrated account.

I used migration assistant on a coworkers old laptop to her new laptop. She couldn't the password she remembers doesn't work on the new computer (migrated account). I then went into the account system preference and changed the password. Logged out and then tried the new password it didn't work. I repaired permissions and even rebooted the computer. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Can't change password in my account....

    I know the password...it keeps saying invalid password...I wrote the password down so i know i'm right...whats the deal???

    Does the password contain a special symbol? Mine's not working either, and I have the @ symbol in my password two times. It's not working when I attempt to authenticate to a Web page in Safari, to domain prompts, VPN, mail, etc.

  • My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

    My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

  • HT201342 How do you change passwords in email accounts??? Just got new iPhone and no record of previous passwords.....

    How do you change passwords in email accounts?? Have new iPhone and no record of previous passwords. Dumb I know but I'm in a real bind.....

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.  (Your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)  If you don't have access to your old email account and can't use security question authentication to reset your password, you'll have to do one of the following to turn off Find My iPhone so you can chang the iCloud account on your phone:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • How can I change from a free account to a paid account?

    How can I change from a free account to a paid account?

    Tom gave you the answer to your question. 
    if you want a Paid book account, follow the process outlined in the link supplied.
    Apple iBooks store set out these requirements and they do not deviate from them for Individuals.
    You need a new email address for a new account. You need an EIN USA tax file number if you are not a US citizen or US resident. You need to submit bank and credit card details...these can be the same as your iTunes account.
    However much you find the requirements difficult, Apple do not make exceptions.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

  • How to set "User cannot change password" on W2K accounts.

    Hi gurus,
    I need to set (from create user form) "User cannot change password" on W2K accounts.
    I was expected that some value of userAccountControl attribute on AD could do the job, but I realized that it is not so (look also to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=593193&messageID=3108889).
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    Yeah thats right, I have implemented the same using nTSecurityDescriptor attribute

  • I don't understand why I can't change password lik...

    Extremely mad. NO IDEA WHY I CAN'T CHANGE PASSWORD LIKE "lajiskype" or "horribleskype."

    The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
    If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.

  • I would like to set up an older iPad with a new messages account so it can be used by my kids.  I don't, however, want to lose the apps or music that are on the iPad. Can I change only the Messages "account"?

    I would like to set up an older iPad with a new messages account so it can be used by my kids.  I don't, however, want to lose the apps or music that are on the iPad. Can I change only the Messages "account"?

    Thanks. I had tried that, but was still having problems. Then I realized that I was using three addresses on both devices.  Once I changed it to only one email on one iPad and a different email on the other, it worked great. Your message encouraged me to dig deeper and think differently. It worked. Thanks again!

  • HT204053 can I change my primary icloud account.

    It appears that all my devices has accepted my primary email account except my Mac which for some reason has accepted a secondary mobile me address that I used for my parents.  How can I change my primary icloud account back to my primary email address?

    System Preferences > iCloud > Sign Out
    then sign in with the right iCloud account.

    JAAS - change password ?? why would you use JAAS to change your password. If you really want to you could possibly write code to make a system call to change the password. And I dont think that would be easy
