Cannot remember my password when I registered

cannot remember my password when I registered and cannot remember password for app updates

When selecting passwords, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure out.
Old school--- > Print it out & keep in a safe place. A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget. Also helpful when you cannot get pass the log-in screen.
New school---> Get a password manager utility. Highly recommend 1Password which is shareware. Another good password manager utility is Dashlane. Best of all, it's FREE!
Do a Google search for free password managers.

Is there a way to access an old account if you cannot remember the password, when I try to change passwork they have the wrong birthday in the system and I can't get past it

My old computer crashed and I was able to copy my music from my Ipod onto my new computer. When I upgraded to a new Ipod I was not able to access a lot of my music-I needed to authorize the new computer to play songs bought under the old apple ID. For the life of me I cannot remember what the password was, and when I try to reset it, the birthday that there to confirm it is me is the wrong date-so I can't go any further. If I go into an apple store will they be able to help? I have almost 100 songs that I have bought that I can't get to.
thanks

Hey teflonjimmy,
Thanks for the question. If you have lost track of the Apple ID email address or password, you can use our handy iForgot tool to recover the email address and/or password:

HT1766 what happens when you cannot remember your password to restore the backup?

I am trying to update my iPhone and I cannot remember the password I used for my backup. How can I get round this please?

You can't. If you can't remember the password you can't use the backup. If there were a way around this it would defeat the purpose of having password protection.

HT1920 I no longer have access to the recue email and cannot remember my password how do I process to gain access to my iTunes account?

I no longer have access to my recue email address and cannot remember my password how can I gain access to my itunes account? I have opened a new itunes ID but would like to transfer over all my music from my old account
Best regards

You can't transfer any content from one account to another account, all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
If this page doesn't let you get access to your old account : http://iforgot.apple.com, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (if you've also forgotten the answers to your security questions then they should also be able to reset them)
When you've got access to your account you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

As long as you are going to be able to verify to Apple that your son is account owner, they may be able to help you to reset password.

I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC. I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account. How can I now play the music?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I cannot remember my password

I am trying to use software update, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the password. Even the clue does not help. How can I reset this?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

If you need to reset your system password see http://pondini.org/OSX/Password.html
When you have the passwords in order try using
 > System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing.
Dropbox should work fine as well.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

You need to use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer. There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
