  • HT1338 I forgot my Keychain password, is there a way to reset it?

    I forgot my Keychain password, is there a way to reset it?

    There is no way to change a keychain password without the original password. The only option is to delete the keychain and start a new one. Use Keychain Access. (You could keep a back up of the old keychain file in case you remember the password some day.)

  • HT1918 I forgot my security questions passwords, is there a way I can reset them?

    I forgot my security questions passwords, is there a way I can reset them?

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • I forgot my parental control password on my ipod touch, how do I reset it?

    How can I reset my son's ipod touch's parental passcode without wiping it clean? My wife forgot the parental passcode she used??? We have another son we also have to do this too.

    Yes, it is intentionally made difficult to reset your restrictions passcode. See this article on how to recover from this situation:

  • Am buyig a ipad 4 on ebay but the person forgot the user name and the password is there a way to reset it

    is the a way to reset a ipad if you forgot the uset and the password

    If that ipad is running iOS7 then no, you cannot wipe it without the user's Apple ID and pass word....which isn't usually something a person forgets. The cynic in me would be very suspicious of a person selling a device that says they have no access to the password protection on said device.

  • Can't remember Admin password, is there a way to reset it?

    Can't remember my Admin password, what are my options?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • HT201240 I forgot the Parental Controls password on my Macbook Pro, which apparently is not the same as my log in. How do I reset it?

    I just set it up to let the kids i babysit play games online and i have no i dea what i set the password to. I really do not want to have to factory reset everything. What can i do?

    Hi kingwm,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What email account are you using?  In Mavericks, if you look in your Applications folder, in a subfolder called Utilities, you will find the Keychain Access application.
    The main keychain is called the "login keychain" and it is the one created for your main User account.  Select the passwords category on the left, and look for your mail application.  Double-click on the mail application and click in the "Show password" box.  You'll have to enter your User admin password (the one you use when you turn the computer on) to see the password.
    If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to go to your email service provider's website, reset your email password and then update the settings in both computers and any iOS devices you have.

    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Hi there, I have locked the restrictions section in settings and forgot my password, is there a way to reset this or an over ride code?

    Hi There, I have locked the restricted access section as she was purchasing lots of in app purchases and now I cannot remember the four digit code to unlock it.  Does anyone know how if there is a master code or how to reset only this section without deleting everything on the ipod?

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Ios7 parental controls password reset

    How do I iOS 7 parental controls password reset or view?

    I found this on the web and helped me edit an file and reset it to a passcode I could remember. These instructions are for more advance people with some understanding of programming and remember you do this at your own risk. Please don't blame me or anyone else for "bricking" iPhone or iPad if you do it wrong. Here are the instructions:
    Download iBackupBot
    Connect iPhone/iPod/iPad via USB
    Backup device to iTunes
    Close iTunes (leave your device plugged in to your computer)
    Open iBackupBot - this will open all device backups that it can find
    Select your backup from the left column
    Sort right hand pane by Path and locate "Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist" (there may be two files named this; try them both) and double-click to open
    Extracted it (and only it) to the desktop. Do this by Checkmark the file, then select the Extract Icon (or File - Export menu), then select the checkbox that says only that file and the other checkbox that says something about Info about the file. Two files will appear on your desktop - one ending in plist and the other ending in .info.
    Edit com.apple.springboard.plist with you favourite plist editor (e.g. Xcode)
    Look for and change the string for "SBParentalControlsFailedAttempts" to 0
    Add in<key>SBParentalControlsPIN</key> <string>1234</string>
    after
    <dict> <key>countryCode</key> <string>us</string> </dict>
    Save your changes, and return to iBackupBot
    Import the modified plist. It is now in the backup!
    Exit iBackupBot
    Open iTunes and use Restore Backup to your device
    After restore is done and phone restarts the password should be 1234.
    I reset my son's iPhone with this method after I forgot the passcode. This worked on iOS 7 iPhone 4.
    Here is the original link http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/55528/how-do-i-remove-the-restriction-p asscode-on-my-ipad

    Thank You

    No, Apple can't help.  Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode.  For that mode see:
