Cant change password in Security & Privacy

Im trying to change apps that control my computer but I can no longer get access to privacy settings in "security & privacy."   I couldnt remember my old appleID password so just changed which means I cant update the login password in the general settings either.
Is anyone able to help me out?

That doesnt work unfortunately.  I have just changed my appleID but it still doesnt work.
From what I can see I have a login password set in the security & privacy panel but when I go to change the password I get prompted for my old password first, which I have forgotten.  Since there is no way to reset this im stuck between a rock and hard place it seems.

  • How do i disable "change password" in "security & privacy"

    Hi... i think something might be wrong... I have a standard account (for a child) that is locked down by parental controls by an admin user. I've locked changing the password - "Disable changing the password"... The lock icon is locked for users and groups in the standard account - so that works.
    However if i goto System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Change Password it allows for changing of the standard account password and does not require the admin password.
    Really? Can anybody else confirm this? How do I lock this also?
    thanks in advance.

    This isn't an answer.
    You aren't the only one seeing this behavior. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.
    You might want to submit feedback to Apple so they are aware of the problem:

  • Cant change password or email

    So I've been to the password change page and while I can enter my old password, it physically will not let me click the input boxes for the new password (enter and confirming). I don't know why this is, i tried it on different web browsers (safari and google chrome) and i still get the same error. I want to change my password pretty soon for security reasons. I can't change my email either, when i input my password to get it changed i get the message "
    {"feedback":"\n \n\n <div class=\"messageContainer\">\n <div class=\"frameSuccess\">\n <span class=\"icon\"><\/span>\n <div>Your profile has been updated.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n \n","completion":70}
    " and it hasn't changed the email. Please help
    Side note, is there a way you can force sign out everything on skype requiring a relog?

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. 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 to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Repeatedly asked to change password, no security i...

    Hi, Im a newbie to this forum, but probably pulling my hair out like you with this ridiculous "your account has been compromised rubbish from BT".  Everytime my husband tries to log onto his computer either useing webmail, or thunderbird or outlook, it still asks for a password which was changed the last time he logged on.  There is not security problem with his computer at all, so why on earth does he have to keep changing it.  I really hope someone can help as other than moving his email to a gmail account I have no idea how to fix this.  Thanks in anticipation

    Привет Aesone, и теплый прием на форуме!
    Did you change it in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, highlight Gmail account, Account information tab?
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities, look for the two **.gmail.com entries, delete them or change the password there.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    apple is not sending mail to my rescue email address so i cant proceed further regarding "changing my password or security question" ?????? help???

    You are at least the second person to post the same thing today, so I don't know if there are problems with it. You clicked on the link to send reset info to your rescue email address as shown in steps 1 to 5 of the page that you posted from, and you've checked your spam folder as well as your Inbox ?

  • I forgot my security questions answers and i dont know what email i put for my rescue email and now i cant download anything off itunes and cant change my rescue email

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

  • Make changes in "Security & Privacy"

    Hi,
    I can't seem to make changes to my Security and Privacy settings. I want to download Open Office for Mac, but I need to change the settings here to allow my iMac to open programs from anywhere. I click on the padlock, enter my password, and for a split-second all is unlocked, but then the padlock locks again. I have NO time to make changes before the padlock locks up.
    Help please!

    Try Repair Permissions (Disk Utility)
    When you download, you could try right-clicking the installer (I assume it's and installer), which gives an option to open anyway.

    my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID.  If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. 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 to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.
