That quickly!
Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
When selecting passwords, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure out.
Old school--- > Print it out & keep in a safe place. A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.
New school---> Get a password manager utility. Highly recommend 1Password which is shareware. Do a Google search for free password managers.

Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. How do I retrieve or reset the password?

Can anyone help...
I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.
How do I retrieve or reset the password?
It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications. When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

I have lots of bought music that my new laptop can't play because it's not authorized

If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to your security questions or have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset security questions).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with

Then update the primary email address to be an email account that you have access to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621

Forgot password to unlock screen

forgot passwork to unlock screen

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPad from the computer to which the iPad is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPad into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

Sim unlock screen - how can I get to it?

I have an AT&T Palm Pre Plus and a sim unlock code for the phone. I want to unlock the phone but I do not have a T-Mobile (or any other sim) sim card on me. Is there a way to get to the sim unlock screen without a invalid sim card? I would imagine there would be but after several searches I cannot find anything.
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

Hi,
You need to somehow get a 3G sim card for it to work.
Hope this helps.

HT201304 I forgot my restriction pass code , how do I retrieve it or change it?

I have forgotten my restrictions pass code. How do I retrieve my pass code or how can I change it. Thanks

There is no way to retrieve it. You have to restore to factory settings.
Restoring from a backup will simply restore the restrictions passcode that you cannot remember - unless in the unlikely event that you have a backup that predates the restrictions passcode, then you could restore from that backup.

Black screen. how can i retrieve missed calls?

untill i replace this phone with a black screen if i miss a call i can't tell who it was.
any idea how i can retrieve the list of 'missed calls' ?

Thanks for your suggestions budone!
Hi mike b,
I know how important it is to identify missed calls. Unfortunately, when a call is not answered a connection is not made with our towers. Which means we would not have any record of an unanswered call. I would definitely encourage you to implement of budone's suggestions until you are able to replace your phone. In the interim please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Thanks for your contribution to our community forums,
