FileVault restart - Password isn't working

I just wrote the message down for all people which could get at heart attack like me.
i activated filevault and wrote down the restore key. After the restart my computer password didn't work and with my restore password it was the same. I had 3 mins of panic after i released that keyboard layout changed from european to american. Both of my passwords had "Z" in it. So after i entered "Z" it came "Y".

i found a workaround - here is the link

  • TS3988 i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

    i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

    Try going 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.  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.

  • My new password isn't working for in stalling elements 12.  I just changed it several minutes ago.  Will it take some time for it to feet in the system?

    I've got Elements 12 downloaded and now I'm trying to install it, but my new password isn't being accepted.  I just changed it a bit ago.  What should I do?  Does it need more time to get in the system, so to speak?    

    Hi,
    The only password is the one for you Adobe Id which I presume you are using to ask this question. If you can log on to the forum, it should work during the install.

  • Login as Root password problem (the changed password isn't working!)

    I have enabled root user. I've changed my password for root user a couple of time and I am still not cable to login as root!! (username: root).
    Any thoughts and help? thanks a lot! Alon.

    Hello Stephen,
    Change of password is not done via configtool. Configtool secure store just stores the current password which is taken by SDM during the deployment.
    To change the password of the administrator user, you will need to enable SAP*. Please follow note Note 669848.
    1. open the configtool: C:\usr\sap\<InstenceID>\JC<xx>\j2ee\configtool --> configtool.bat
    ex: C:\usr\sap\J9E\JC09\j2ee\configtool ---> configtool
    2. Activate the "super admin" and enter password(this is your choice) in configtool properties:
    In Config tool: cluster-data>Global Server configuration>services--> com.sap.security.core.ume.service
    find below ume properties and change values as i mentioned
    ume.superadmin.activated=TRUE
    ume.superadmin.password= < enter password>
    3. Save the changes in configtool. click on Save button.
    4. Stop the j2ee engine.
    5. Start the j2ee engine.
    6. Now you login to UME with username "SAP*" and password "what you entered in configtool"
    7. After logging into UME Search for user "administrator" then unlock this user; or if you want to change password you can change it.
    8. Goto config tool follow step 1:
    9. Follow step2: and change ume property values as below:
    ume.superadmin.activated=FALSE
    ume.superadmin.password= (note: seta as default or blank)
    10. Save the change setting in configtool.
    11. Restart the j2ee engine ( Stop and Start).
    12. Now login to user as "Administrator"; you will succussfully loging into ume;
    Hope this helps.

  • Hi, I have sold a phone and the user cannot get past ever Apple ID and password but the password isn't working.?

    Hi,
    I have sold an iPhone 4S, I thought it was fully erased but it wasn't, it had find my iPhone on and the user is being prompted to enter apple ID and password. I went onto Apple account and removed device from find my iPhone and erased. Still says the same thing to the buyer. I have changed my password for Apple ID and then called them and they have entered the password but it doesn't work. Tried the old one that doesn't work either. \
    Any ideas.
    Very grateful to hear from anyone.

    There is never a reason to give someone your Apple ID password.  Period.
    If you've removed the device from the Find My iPhone section of www.icloud.com, then it's not activation locked.  They need to restore the device as new and set it up with their own information.
    Immediately change your Apple ID password and also update your security questions.  You may also want to change the primary email address of your Apple ID.

  • Itunes Apple ID password isn't working

    I'm trying to purchase a sog, but every time I enter my apple ID passwrod it says it's an 'Unknown Error' so i enter it again and it says I've entered it wrong twice. I've tried resetting it and it still does not work. How can I fix it?

    I had this same problem--entering my correct password and then receiving the "Unknown error" message.  What resolved the problem for me was removing a device from the list of those associated with my Apple ID... the computer I was trying to log in with (which was an "authorized" computer on my iTunes account) would have been the 11th device associated with my ID.  But there is a 10-device limit.  So I removed one of the other 10 devices, and then was able to log in without a problem--that is, my password was accepted.

  • Gateway password isn't working

    I have a verizon G1100 router and I can't seem to access the gateway. The password wasn't changed to my knowledge and it from my researchit should either be "password" or "admin". If I can't get access is there any easy way to reset it without a lot of effort?

    Edit: It appears the side panel sticker was actually pulled off that is supposed to have the passwords. How do I get the passwords now?That's too bad.  The sticker is on the side panel and is titled "default login credentials."  If it's gone, I don't know of any way to get the admin passwords.  You could try asking Verizon support. You may be able to find the WiFi password on the MyVerizon web page, My FiOS smartphone app or FiOS TV set-top-box menus.  They do list WiFi passwords for Verizon routers.  They do not list the admin password. Is it possible the person who removed it stuck it somewhere else?  Like on the box or relevant paperwork?  Look around,maybe you can find it. If you can't find the passwords, you'll probably need to get a new router.  Depending on how and when you got it, Verizon might replace it. Good Luck. 

  • Changed email now password isn't working

    I recently changed my email from gmail to yahoo, I had an update on my itouch, went to update it and in the box where you put your password, it still had my gmail address and I put in my password and it didn't accept it. I went to my Yahoo and had accepted the change and everything, so what am I doing wrong? When I go on itunes with my ipod I see my yahoo address, but not on my itouch.....I'm at a loss, and until I get this figured out, I'm not going to be able to update anything Thanks for any help you are able to give me

    It sounds like you changed the password for your GMail account on the iPod to the new password for the Yahoo account.  What you have to do is to create a new account for your Yahoo email.  To do this go to Settings>Mail....>Add account and select the Yahoo template and fill it in with your specific Yahoo information.  You can delete your GMail account if you want by going to that account in Settings>Mail.. >Your GMail account and tapping the delete button.

  • Hi. Having trouble getting the superdrive on my daughters circa 2009 mac mini to eject discs.  Even the 'hold down mouse button on restart' trick isn't working now and there's a disc stuck in the drive. Anyone out there with a fix? Here's hoping :-)

    It doesn't seem to matter whether it's a DVD or a CD it just won't eject :-(

    Is there a very small pin hole, just inside the drive opening on the right? If true, you can very gently press the tip of a paperclip into this hole (with the machine on) to eject the disk.
    With the mini off. Turn it upside down and thunk the bottom with your hand a couple of times. This may dislodge that stuck drive sufficiently to allow normal eject.
    It may be possible to (again gently) pry up on an edge of that stuck disc with an old, unused credit card.
    If you made it this far, better make an appointment with an Apple store to have the drive removed, disassembled, and reinstalled. If you go this route, might as well upgrade the memory too if it needs it.

  • Need to restore....Password doesn't work

    My cousin just got the latest iTouch and she says her password isn't working to unlock it. I am guessing she doesn't know the password or is doing something wrong. Is it possible to reformat the iTouch through iTunes w/o knowing the password? I wish I could let you guys know more, but she's across the state right now.

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it via iTunes. I would not restore from backup since the backup will contain the unknown password. See the following for placing it in recovery mode:

  • Password's not working after firmware 7.3.1

    I updated my Airport Extreme this morning from 7.2.x to 7.3.1.
    The update ask for the password and then installed itself. After the update, I try to manage the Airport, but the password isn't working. I'm talking about the password used to admin the Airport, not my user password. The wireless is still working.
    The password contained some spaces and ponctuation, something like: This is the password to the airport!!
    Any idea why? Is the only thing I can do is reset everything?
    Thanks.
    Maxime.

    The only reason I deleted it after the update was because it wasn't working for some odd reason and I honestly thought that I should be able to go on here and redownload it no problem
    There's no way to "troubleshoot" the app unless it's installed.
