Can't Get Mail Password From Keychain Access.
My neighbour wanted to be reminded of his Mail password.
So we opened Keychain Access and clicked on his internet password and then clicked the i at the bottom of the window.
A new window opened with "Attributes" at the top and we clicked on the "Show Password" box at the bottom.
A window then opened for his Keychain Password. It was different from mine. Mine simply has a Sancel and an OK button at the bottom.
His had 3 buttons - "Deny", "Allow Once" and "Allow Always". (I am not sure whether I have got those last two exactly right).
When he first got his G5 iMac he did not use a password in the initial setup of the computer and never has had one. So we left it blank (except for the flashing cursor) and pressed the Allow Always button.
It said the wrong password had been entered. We tried again several times using each of the Allow buttons but were refused each time.
As the computer has never had a login password what should we do?
I assume that his keychain access password window looks different from mine because he has an earlier version of Tiger than I do.
Ian.
Thanks Matt.
I can't try it now but I suspect it will work.
The big puzzle is why it said the wrong password had been entered when he has no password and we left the box empty.
Four years ago when I too had no password, simply leaving a password request box empty and clicking OK worked.
Ian.

Delete passwords from keychain access
How to delete passwords from Keychain Access?
In Keychain Access a password is an element in a key, for example an internet site that you log into will be contained in a file in Keychain Access. They are shown one per line.
Inside that key will be the url location, username , password.
You can highlight the relevant key / file and control click on it and delete it.
Just a cautionary note, if you no longer use it, it does no harrm to just stay there. -
Can't get mail folders from IMAP server, why?
I set up my IMAP mail server, but i only see the inbox and not the other mail folders in the in the mail server.
why can i get my other mail folders from ther server?
RamAllan - Here's the other odd thing. Currently, I have my old mail account AND my new MM account both feeding into and out of Outlook. But since adding my MM acct. - even though I set it as my default mail acct. - the hierarchy tree of Outlook folders is still treating my old acct. as king and my new MM acct. as second class. I know, what's that mean? I have my overriding "Personal Folders" folder, with the sub-folders (in addition to customized ones I added) - all of these at the same level - 'Deleted Items'; 'Inbox' (for my old account); 'Junk E-mail'; 'RSS Feeds'; 'Sent Items' and "Search Folders". Then, below that, but at the same hierarchy level as "Personal Folders", I have my MM's root of an IMAP store folder that has as its name my email address, including the "@me.com". Under that, at the same level of importance as my 'Deleted Items', etc. for my old account is my MM account's "Inbox", "Junk E-mail", "Sent" (which, like I said, I created when I sent the first email from my newly created MM account), and "Search Folders"... that's it. If I delete an email from my MM acct., or am in the process of creating an email in my MM acct., I can only find it in the aforementioned "Deleted Items" or "Draft" folders, as my MM acct. doesn't have these. Is this perhaps one indicator of my sent mail synching problem? Or does one have nothing to do with the other? Does Outlook only provide one each of "Drafts", "Deleted Items" and "Outbox" that all accounts share?

How do I export all my passwords from keychain access to my new Mac?
I just purchased a new Air because of problems with my Pro. I was able to get into the computer and I see all my passwords. But when I go to export the passwords I need, the "export" button is in gray.
How do I export the passwords?
Could I just copy the application to a flash drive and move to my Air, or is there a way to sync the passwords?
ThxOk
Thanks
I guess I will try that again...
If anyone else has tips, PLEASE let me know

After the last update, Thunderbird can not get mail from RCN POP3?
On a WINDOWS 7 PC (Dell Inspiron 15) Thunderbird was automatically updated June 12.
After the update it can not get my email from my service provider (RCN).
It seems to connect with pop.rcn.com but then it hangs, and no email comes.

Can not get mail , it sayes that the user name or password is incorret, it the right one
You need to contact the email provider and reset your information. All your iPhone does is send the information to the provider and they are stating your username or password are incorrect. If you contact the provider they can help you reset it so it will work with your phone

Hi,
Which website your are using to update the Adobe Flash player? No Adobe website ever ask for any id and password to update the flash player.
If you are using MAC machine and its the password prompt while installing update that you are talking about then please follow What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Please help?
Your question/statement makes no sense.
"Unable to download purchased audiobook. The book says it was downloaded" What book is saying this? Is the audiobook talking to you?
"Can't get to spot from iTunes to insert password" This makes no sense to me either.
If you are trying to download a previously purchased audiobook, you can't do that. You get one download of an Audiobook and then you must purchase it again if you delete it or do not have it in your iTunes library to sync back to the iPd.
If you can't find the audiobook, look in the More Tab of the Music App. -

Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
Thx
AgnesHey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

Retrieving network password in Keychain Access?
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and moved.
I used to have the password for the new network stored on my Keychain Access. Now, however, when I try to log on, I'm asked for the password.
I went to look for the password in Keychain Access, and there is a password listed, but it's a long string of lower case letters and numbers -- it looks like some sort of code, rather than the original password.
Is there any way I can translate that long string into the real password? Or any way I can restore the old password?
Thanks for any help.Susan, you will probably by now have done what you said you were to do and set the airport from scratch. Nevertheless there is no harm in setting up the router his sister left. No need to worry about the keychain for this. Clear, that is "reset' to factory defaults as I believe Direwolf was saying. Then start again. Reset by using the button on the back of the router. You then use the default password and admin username (probably on the soleplate of the router). Download user manual from web if need be.
When I look in keychain for wireless passwords, I see plain text, but I use plain text WPA2 passwords, poetry in lower case no spaces no punctuation and 62 characters long. His sister may have set a hexadecimal password. Someone I know keeps changing her ISP (in Spain). I keep re setting the collection of routers she gets from the ISPs with the same settings so she has four 'plug and play' routers in case one fails.
