Don't know Home Sharing password :-/

Hi, just a bit stuck, have recently got a new laptop and trying to turn on the home sharing but I don't know what my password is, have tried all the passswords that I use for other things but none of them work. Is there any way I can have it e-mailed it to me or something?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password?

I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?

There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

How do I change my icloud email when don't know the old password after I have changed my apple ID email address and the password? icloud is still online with my old email address!!!

I got a new phone but backed it up through my itunes, and when I tried to use icloud it kept telling me I have forgotten my password, when I really really didn't. So I went to settings > itunes&appstore and changed my password, but also changed the email address too while I was at it, since I've always wanted to change it. But now here's the problem. My iphone's icloud is currently logged in with my old apple ID email address, which seems to not work with the new password, so I can't log it or even delete the account off my iphone. And ovbiously, I don't know the old password that I have "forgotten", as my phone tells me. There seems to be no way of changing the icloud account now.... What should I do?!

So what was the solution. I have a similar problem on all of my devices now

My iCloud email address and my apple ID are different. I would like to change my iCloud to be the same as my apple ID. However I don't know my iCloud password and don't use the email address it belongs to. When I try to change the password, apple brings me to a page to reset my apple ID password (which I know and don't want to change). I have even tried to delete my iCloud account completely to start again but am not allowed without the iCloud password (which I don't have) there doesn't seem to be a place to change the email address of iCloud. What can I do?

This is the answer that I had expected, so in this case you could only change your gmail.com address to another providers email addres e.g. outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc., but you won't be able to change the gmail.com address to a icloud.com email address. Apple just won't let you do that.
Your iCloud account with @icloud.com email address and you Apple ID with gmail.com address are already connected and as I said before, Apple just let you merge this two IDs together.

I don't know my administrator password and I want to download an antivirus. I also don't have the MAC OS install CD either.

I don't know my administrator password or have the MAC OS install CD. How can I download and install software without either of these?

What version of the Mac OS are you running?
Generally anti-virus applications are either useless or actively bad for your Mac. ClamXAV is an exception to this rule.

HT6030 Don't know my keychain password??

I just installed this piece of software on my MacBook Pro, and I don't know my keychain password! Each time I try and get on an application, like chrome or safari, I am blocked because I can't get the pop-up window off my screen! Help???

Welcome to the forums!
In Utilities > Keychain Access you should be able to select the Login keychain (even though it's locked) and then File > Delete Keychain "Login". Then quit, log out, and log back in and a new login keychain should be created.
If this fails, you can manually delete the login.keychain from the ~User/Library/Keychains folder. Then log out, log in, and go to Keychain Access, Edit > Keychain List, click the + to add a keychain, and select the login keychain.
With your new keychain, next time you run Safari it will ask for access to your keychain, you can click Always Allow and you should be set.
Hope this helps...

I don't know my restrictions password.

If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

TS2972 I have forgotten my home sharing password - how do i reset it ?

Please help = how do I reset my home sharing password in Itunes ?

Hi BFW99X,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The password used when setting up Home Sharing is your Apple ID password. If you're having trouble logging into iTunes with your Apple ID and password, reset the password by following the steps found here:

Forgot home sharing password

Hi, I forgot my home sharing password and have not been able to find how to reset it. My apple id is fine but no password.

Hello there, geradino.
Your Home Sharing password is directly related to your Apple ID. The following Knowledge Base article explains that a bit more clearly:
iTunes: How to share music and video
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2688
Additionally under "Understanding the differences between Home Sharing and Music Sharing" we read:
Home Sharing requires more setup, but allows you to transfer content to another computer or stream to other devices. It always requires your Apple ID and password to see the library and contents.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
