    Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
    If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
    If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • Forgot the password to my MacBook White

    I forgot the password to my MacBook White, and it won't let me in . Please give me some help!!!

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

  • Forgot the password to my account what to do?

    I have forgotten my password for my account.. and now i can't get updates anymore etc...
    on apple.com/support was information about it.. it said i needed to put my installation cd in the mac etc.. but that didn't work at all... it didn't do anything...
    can someone help me? please?
    thanks anyway...

    I'm having the same problem as missmac87. My DVD driver works fine - I just tested it with Men in Black. I am running OSX 10.4.11 and tried to boot up with the 10.4 Install DVD, holding down the C key, and it wouldn't do it. So, my Account password is different than my Admin password (which I use when updating software)? The latter I use all the time, the former I can't figure out.
    All I'm trying to do is connect to my wife's printer which is connected to her PC. She said something about adding a local port. I'd also like to set up a shared folder that we can both access. In System Preferences>Sharing>Enable accounts... that's where the problem is. How in the world do I reset this password or figure it out? She tried to connect to me, can see me, but with the same password problem.

  • HT4798 I forgot the password to my Macbook Pro

    I use OS X Mountain lion. How can I reset my pasword? It does not give me the option to use my apple ID, I have tried to use the method where you hold down either the option key or thecommand and R keys, but when I get to the applications menu where i can select "reset password" it is greyed out and won't let me click on it or drag it anywhere...

    Daniel's method is the easiest, but here are some other options.

  • Forgot the password sap*

    Hello
      We have forgot the password for SAP* and DDIC in Client 000, We did not have any other user in that client . Can some one tell me how to reset the password of SAP*
    Os:Unix
    Database :Oracle
    Thanks
    haynes

    Hi Haynes,
    This is how you can proceed to reset the password for SAP*.
    Please log into oracle.
    1. Delete the user master record for SAP* from table USR02 by executing the below oracle statement.
    Delete from sap<sid>.usr02 where bname = 'SAP*' and mandt = '000'
    2.Try to login to '000' using SAP* & default password
    pass and check.
    3.If login is not possible, check the value of the profile parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar in RZ11.If the value of this parameter is > 0, that means the special attribute of SAP* is deactivated.
    4.For reinstating the same, set the value of the parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar to 0 and then bounce the SAP system.
    Now, you will be able to login to '000' using SAP* and password as PASS.After you have successfully logged into '000' with SAP* you can also reset the password for user DDIC.
    Thanks,
    Saby..

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it.
    This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Hello everybody, I have the following problem: my apple id was desabled for security reason and I have to reset my password to enable the account again, but when I try to do this, using the e-mail, I've never received such e-mail. When I chose to do

    Hello everybody, I have the following problem: my apple id was desabled for security reason and I have to reset my password to enable the account again, but when I try to do this, using the e-mail, I've never received such e-mail. When I chose to do this by the security answers, it's not work again, because does not accept my birth date. Can you please somebody help with this issue? Thanks in advance

    If you have a rescue email address on your account then you've checked the inbox and spam folder on that account as well, and you've tried requesting the email again ? If you still can't find it then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you.

  • HT203055 I can't sign in or out of iCloud.  Forgot the password to an email address I no longer have access to.  What next.

    I can't sign in or out of iCloud.  Forgot the password to an email address I no longer have access to.  What next?  From what I'm reading in the forums, once the email address is set up it cannot be changed.  True?  If so, um, stupid.
    Message to log in to iCloud every time I reply or forward an email.  Have to indicate to ignore every time.  Annoying.

    Hello florabb,
    You may be able to change or reset the password on this old iCloud/Apple ID account, even if you no longer have access to the email address associated with it. Once the password is changed/updated, you should be able to log your iPhone out of the old iCloud/Apple ID account and log in to the correct new account. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

  • I can't update any of my apps. I have an old email address that I forgot the password to. I set up a new apple idea (I do know the password to this one), but every time I try to update my apps, it brings me back to my old email.

    I've tried many times to get rid of my old iTunes account. I have made a new Apple ID and I do remember the password. My 2 main problems are, i can't update ANY of my apps (and I have 53 to update now), and I can't get rid of my old old email that I forgot the password to. Every time I try to reset the account and start a new iTunes account, it will ask me for my new email. I've tried multiple times to change it, bbut every time i do, it asks me to put a password when for my old email that I forgot the password to reset the account.

    Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.
