Help, cannot remember password for my imac, how do I change the password?
I cannot remember the password for my imac. How do I change the password? What do I need besides the operating disk? Without the password I have been unable to update software. Any help will be greatly appreciated,

I checked the "remember this password" option when entering the password initially only to discover that the password was incorrect. How do I change the password?
Which WiFi router are you using, and which version of OS X are you using?

How can we change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit? No password was given with the iBook and every time we try to install items, the password window pops up. We need to put in printer and other software. Help! We can use the laptop without changing the password.
If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
{With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
Good luck! -
How do I change my iCloud Account email? I keep getting prompted to enter a password associated with an old email account I no longer use. I do not have the password for it. How do I change my iCloud Account?
You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
also I want to change the Language and date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..Hi,
Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
Now, system will ask for new password to change.
If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
Here, Select tab: Logon Data
There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
Best regards,

How do I change the password for an email account that is defunct?
I have two different apple accounts because the original one I no longer have access to the email address. For a long time I was able to continue to update my apps because I knew the password. However now it keeps telling me that the password is wrong, and tells me to change the password. However that must be done through the email. It's a vicious cycle and now I have about 20 some apps that need updated and I can't! Very frustrated ... any help?
Log on to your account with your ISP via webmail and you should be able to change it there.

i have set up a password for my iphone 3gs apparantly i forgot the password..what's the redemy?HELP!
Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

My email (sign-in) and password for iTunes is different than my email (sign-in) and password for iCloud. How do I change my sign in and password so they are the same for both iTunes and iCloud without losing my iTunes content?
Hey Lakedrive442,
It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes. If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

Of course some might not apply, but many might.
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

How do i change the password for my secured internet
I have a westell 327w, verizon walked me through the steps to set up my secured internet now you must have my password to connect to it, I know someone has my password and is connecting to my internet how do i change the password for this?
Not certain what you mean by "my secured internet". If you're referring to your Verizon provided PPP internet connection then you need to work with Verizon on that. You login to the MODEM using the admin account and they will give you a new password to enter. Or, you can tell them the password you want to use first. At least that's how it was with my Westell MODEM and DSL setup.

How do i change the password on itunes back up
How can I change the password when I have forget my old one. It is the one next to yhe back up and testore back upafter you click on itunes. Please any help, as I have tried all the ones I know & use.
If on a Mac, and you elected to save such to your Keychain, you can recover it from your Keychain. Otherwise, you can't.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
You can also search for a commercial backup passcode cracker. I have no experience with any, thus cannot make a recommendation. -
How do I change the password on my IPhone?
How do I change the password on my IPhone? I am using a card that belonged to my former daughter in law and I cannot get the original password. I need it to change the Restrictions setting because all of a sudden my ITunes apps won't download when I sync my phone....just photos and music. Apps list is "grayed" out.
No, not on the home screen. I clicked on Settings + Restrictions (which is set at "Yes" and I need to change it to "No") and the number pad came up and wanted the password. My son says its the password that was put on originally when the phone was new (by his ex-wife who owned the phone at the time.) So now I cannot retrieve the original password from her and cannot change the Restrictions setting and therefore, cannot fix my ITunes/Apps problem. So aggravating! But thanks for your response!

my ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. when I continue to to try to enter the correct password in it finally freezes the account, and I have to go online via my desktop to fix that problem. I have two apple id's because when my ipod crashed I had to reset it completely. I have never had any problems with this before, and it has been a year since I got my second id, which is linked to the ipod. My first id is used for the cloud on the same device. My wife suggested I reset documentson the cloud for the second id, however, when I try to log on the cloud with my current id, it tells me I have to set up the cloud on that device, but it is already done, but with the old id.
confusing I know. I have been on the 'change your password merry-go-round' all day, and I'm getting dizzy! Help!Then contact iTunes:
