Don't remember my password, now my phone won't sync!

I enabled "encrypt iphone backup on itunes, but forgot the password. Now my phone will not sync. Is there any way that I can retrieve my password? Thanks!

No, there's not. That's why you create one in the first place--for security.
Only thing you can do now is to restore your iPhone as a new phone. All your application data, camera roll photos, etc, will be lost.

I bought a new computer and now my phone won't sync calendar with outlook

I bought a new computer and after I set up Windows with Outlook 2010 I tried to sync my Iphone with Outlook, but no luck. The phone used to sync with the old Outlook program.

Did you transfer all of your iTunes content/iTunes library to the new Mac? If you didn't, have you transferred purchases into the new iTunes library from the iPad?

I was syncing my phone and it automatically downloaded iOS6. Now I can't do anything, as I don't remember my password. What do I do? I have no phone, no access to anything.

Help! I was syncing my phone and it automatically downloaded IOS6. Now I can't access my applications, can't use my phone, can't do anything as I don't remember my password. I can't even get my password!

Double tap with 3 fingers. You've accidentally enabled the zoom feature. You can then turn it off: Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom

If iTunes need respond from your phone but you don't remember your password what should you do

so I can't remember my phone password, right now it says ''Phone is disabled, connect to Itunes''. I tried to reset my phone on Itunes, but I haven't synced my phone to itunes yet. Itunes need respond from my phone, but I can't don't remember my password. So I can't get in to my phone and respond.

Try recovery mode, as described towards the bottom of this page : iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled.
If you haven't synced/backed up to your computer's iTunes then do you have an iCloud backup then you can then restore to ? If not then what you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased tabs in the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

The apple ID on my phone is differnt from the one on ICloud. I have gotten married and changed my ID for Apple. My ICloud ID is correct in my PC but my phone is incorrect. I don't remember the password for the ID for ICloud. How do I change the ID???

Did you create a totally new ID or just change your old one.

You will have to restore it from Recovery mode, as described in the tip you were reading when you posted your message. Or see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. You will lose all data on your phone.

I don't remember my password and one of the security questions for my account. I also don't have the same email account now as i did when I signed up.
I want to figure out my old password and/or change the new email to my current one.
thanks

You can try getting the password reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the password and your questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address to your account for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Hello, StephCalderon11.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are being prompted for the password of your old Apple ID, see the article below.

I have an old apple id that I don't use (and I don't remember the password) and it now won't let me log in for updates, how can I delete it

Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

I recently upgraded laptops and my new laptop asks me to authorize this one for purchases I made years ago and I don't remember the password. Can you use the old backup discs to restore them?

There are quite a few songs, videos, television shows, and movies I purchased years back, well before the cloud with two different user id's that I don't remember the passwords for, and when I try and get to the security questions, it says the information doesn't match. I'm ****** because I'm sure they will have some convenient excuse for not getting me out of this mess with my new laptop, but as long as my old one works, I can still access the previous library, where EVERYTHING plays. How can the new laptop not be recognized when I had all of the information transferred from the old laptop? Now I have to hope my old laptop doesn't crap out for a few years longer!!

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

Change your old Apple ID using this link:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one.

If your phone is signed into your old iCloud ID ("email"), you need to delete the existing account then sign back in with your new ID. To do this 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. 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 save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

Hi AlphaCentori,
