Cannot reset apple password

I am unable to reset my Apple pw. When I select the "mail me the reset instructions" option, the message says it mails the message, but it doesn't. Tried this a number of times. Then, I tried the route of providing credentials, but I must have put in the wrong birth date because the system says it is incorrect. There seems to be no appropriate Apple contact number to solve this. I am stuck.
Anyone have suggestions???

Call apple tech support. I had the same kind of issue with my daughters iPhone and they were very helpful

Cannot reset User password

The other user on my iBook got locked out of his account, accidentally typing the wrong password. When I go into Users, even as an admin, I cannot reset the password. The button is shaded out as is the short name, the only field avaiable is the User name.

Look at these links.
Here's the instructions if you have the discs.

HT5621 my icloud email I cannot access anymore since it is a old work email. So I cannot reset my password

My icloud email I cannot access anymore since it is a old work email. So I cannot reset the password. Any suggestions?

You are correct. This is a very bad hardware error of the WiFi Chip on the Logic Board. The Chip malfunctioned or was previously damaged, but the initialization error was not detected until you Update/Restore the iPhone recently. The Problem was there, just not detected yet. The repair or replacement of the WiFi Chip is very difficult. Because Apple does not repair iPhone 4S, they only replace iPhone 4S, it costs $199.

Cannot reset my password for eprintcenter

Hi,
I did create 12 months ago an account on eprintcenter, and now I cannot log in and cannot reset my password.
I went multiple time on "Forgot your password?" and put my email but never received anything (and i checked spam).
What can i do ?

Hello frazetone,
I would advise to use a different email address all together to reset your password for ePrintcenter. If that doesn't work you can visit www.eprintcenter.com for additional support.
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

I have an ExportPDF subscription under an old account for which the email does not exist anymore and I have forgotten the password. Therefore I cannot reset the password. I have created a new Adobe account so how do I get the subscription for ExportPDF moved to the new account?

Hi lgmmo,
I think your best best to get this resolved is to contact Adobe Customer Care. Here's the contact info: Contact Customer Care.
A quick Chat session should get you fixed up.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

I cannot reset apple ID password because the email accounts (original and recovery) no longer exist.

I have have lost my password for apple id and the email account it was under no longer exists, switched from Cox to Uverse so I cannot get the email to reset the password. Help >

If you can't get the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they should also be able to reset your security questions).

Cannot reset Root password from Leopard installation DVD

User installed Leopard with the Upgrade option, and discovered his administrator user account had been reset to standard, as described in
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876
However, when the user tried to follow the instructions for the password reset utility, he discovered that the User account selection pull-down was grayed out. So he cannot select the Root user, or any user account to reset the password.
All user account have been set to standard and there appears to be no Root user.
What next?

Sorry. Wrong forum. Reposting.

HT1911 Cannot reset iTunes password

I cannot reset my iTunes password. If I select "email authentication" then no email arrives. If I select "answer security questions" then it tells me that I have my own Birthday wrong. I have spent days on this and can't figure out where to get support and ther Apple guy I managed to get on the phone was worse than useless.
I somehow ended up with two iTunes accounts (one with a short user name and one with an email address) so I can log in on some of my devices but not others - hence I am able to post this under my email account.
Argh - I am so frustrated by Apple security.
Can anyone please help?
Thankx,
Hana

Best to contact support now for a manual reset. Make sure to mention everything you did for faster resolution.
