help!!! My new phone is asking for a password but I never set one and am locked out - what can I do?!?!

Is it asking for your Apple ID password or the passcode to unlock the phone?

I fixed it!!
While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new.

You must restore your iPhone with iTunes.

My hp 2450 is asking for a password which I never set up

I am trying to set up my printers wifi and its asking for a password but i never set one up and don't know where I would find it

Again, is the printer finding your routers SSID? Input the password for your network and connect. You need to be much more detailed on your setup and troubleshooting steps.

Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

After use, I shut the screen down and now a red light is flashing where the sleep indicator is, when I open the computer up it asks for a password, but my computer doesn't have a lock on it?

Regarding your new Guest Account.
If it is the Guest User created by Find My Mac, it is advisable that you leave it be in order to maintain the functionality of the Find My Mac system. It is not a typical guest account. A person can't use the account to log into the system. It only permits the user (presumably a thief) to use a crippled version of Safari, in which the thief will reveal his/her location, hopefully to an end result wherein you may be able to recover the stolen computer.
The very nature of this unique guest account is to increase the security of the system, not to degrade it as a typical guest account might do.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Your user has a password that you put. It's required for install applications and change preferences

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have a new Mac. I turned it off and it is asking for my password which I never set up yet

I turned off my new Mac and when I turned it back on it is now asking for my password which I had not set up yet. I have tried every password I can think of, nothing works so now I cannot use my Mac. Also, a password is set for Administrator but I did not set one so I cannot change it.

Welcome,
First you say "new Mac" which one exactly. Year and size? If you didn't set up a password that prompt might just be blank. How did you set it up originally?

Mavericks asking for administration password. I never had one.

My Maxbook Air which i bought from Apple.ca last year came with the latest Lion OS.
Now Im installing Mavericks its asking for an administrator password which i never had.
Suggestions.
Ray Beck

After downloading Mavericks from AppStore it prepares installation files and it usually requires admin access to do so. I got a prompt asking for admin password as well. But you can just click enter ( return ) without entering any password if you didnt set one. And it should go ahead fine. If that doesn't help report back

Sell it & use the proceeds to purchase a Sprint iPhone. You won't be able to use that phone on any other network, other than Verizon's in the US.

HT4061 My Ipad is aking for a passcode but i never set one up after upgrading ios

I bought an ipad saturday. Sunday i upgraded to ios 7. Once completed, i turned it back on and was working fine. Late that night, I asked to put a passcode but i never set up for one. It didn't asked to put a new passcode when it was upgrading. No i can't get to the screen until i put the 4 digits code. Please help... thanks

Hi,
There are three things you can do.
1) Type 0000. That is normally the standard passcode, or try 1234.
2) Do a reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
3) Look at this - by restoring it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US
Hope this helps!
