Forgot my document password!
hi, everyone. i forgot the password to my Numbers document. how do i recover the document?
thanks.
Hi,
Looking at Numbers Help (in the help menu) and searching 'password', I find no information suggesting it is possible to open a password protected spreadsheet without knowing the password.
Other applications may ignore Numbers password protection (as TextWrangler does), but unless there is a Numbers '09 translator for that application, the results will probably not be readable.
Not much help for the present case, I know, but the lesson for the future is to choose passwords that you will be able to remember, record them somewhere if there's any doubt you will remember them in future, and follow the recommendation from Numbers to write a hint, meaningful to you, when applying a password to a file.
One thing I did learn while checking this—password protection does not prevent you (or anyone else) from deleting the file.
Regards,
Barry

Forgot my Admin Password to my HP Pavillion Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop
Hello,
Need help I forgot my admin password. I can login to other login but not do not have another admin acct. I need to update my pc but cannot. I do not have the original cd NOR do I want to do a system recovery to take it back to factory default settings because of important documents & tons of pics & videos saved.
Someone once posted to try the following steps to remove the password -> Restart your PC, and hold the F8 keyboard button and as you enter the Windows® Boot Menu you will see some different choices, choose Safe Mode with Networking. Now Windows® will start in Safe Mode. Select the default Administrator account from the login, the password can be blank. If you are lucky and passed the login, then you should be able to edit your original account. [[NOTE - I tried this & it did not work.]]
I had read somewhere just cant find it now that Microsoft had a program to safely remove an amdin password. Is this correct? Does HP or Microsoft have a way without loosing data? Are there any third party programs that anyone can recommend that can safely remove the password that I can use that will not reset my pc back to factory?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you,
MissieyUnfortunately I am not local. I live in Europe.
Contact the Geek squad and let them know what the problem is.
Tell them that there are important documents on your notebook that you cannot lose.
That would mean asking them if they can guarantee that you won't lose your documents.
Ask them if they have access to a utility that will reset the password for you without requiring a reinstallation of the operating system. If they don't have a clue when you ask about MSDaRT's Locksmith utility, then find another shop. Many cities have independent technicians who can do this for you.

I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router. I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either. I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it. I am new to Apple!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution. -

Hi 25091996,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Apple ID is disabled for security reasons, try resetting your password via the web using the steps in this article:
Apple ID: 'This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons' alert appears

You may not be able to change your iCloud email address, but once your password is reset you can remove your iPhone from Find My iPhone using the steps in this article:
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone

I forgot my iCloud password, and i can not reset it with email authentication, when i do it, i don't receive any mail from Apple
If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, 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 through iTunes Store Support. -

1864 For your security, please provide a longer answer.
Seriously how am I suppose to provide a longer answer?If you are having problems using the website to reset your password, you can call AppleCare support. They can assist you with AppleID issues, and I believe there will be no charge for that.
