  • What can I do if my computer asks for a password before booting and I don't know it?

    I have a toshoba satellite that is my sons.  I recently replaced the hard drive and now it is asking me for a password upon startup.. There is a black screen with a blue box asking for a password.  I have seen videos on how to remove but none of them apply to my model.  Any help would be aprpreciated.
    Model-L755-S5306

    If it's a power-on password set in the BIOS of the laptop, there's no way to remove it without professional servicing. If it's a hard drive password, the hard drive would need to be replaced. I'm sorry.

  • I can't get into my phone because I locked myself out with not knowing my passcode?

    I forgot my passcode and not sure what to do?

    Hi Melissa,
    If you have forgotten the passcode for your iPhone, you will need to erase the device, and restore it from your backup.  To learn about this process, please follow the steps in the article below.
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • I get to where it says adobe wants to make changes, asks for a password, i do not know the psswd???

    i am stuck and have tried everything i know!

    Hello,
    The password you need to enter is your Mac password.  When installing software on Mac, Mac requires a user (administrator) password in order to install the software.
    P.S.  You created two identical threads.  I have deleted your other duplicate thread.

  • I got locked out of Mac os 9 and now I can't get into OS 9 or OS X.  All I see is the Macintosh SE and a finder face and text that says "mac os 9.2 welcome to mac os".  I can't get into COntrol Panel to reset the password to allow me to get in.

    Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.

    I changed my Apple ID and password last week.  Today I cannot get into my computer with the new password..help!

    Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
    The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

It will save the time of the unpaid volunteers here, and may resolve your issue faster, if you could examine the list below and see if there is a more appropriate forum to which you could direct your question.

  • How do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    how do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password  that I know is correct.  For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac.  I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
    I also reset my password, but the same problem occurs in iTunes.  I have to type in my password four times in iTunes to get it to work. 
    iTunes is having issues.  I can log in easily on the first attempt every time to post on this message board and I can sign in easily on my iPad 2 to get app updates, but in iTunes on my iMac it takes four attempts and then it works. 
    Apple needs to release a statement to the public telling people abut this.  For Apple to know that this iTunes problem exists and that it is causing literally thousands of people to be stressed out is callous and uncaring.

  • How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

    how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
    This is really driving me nuts.....
    Thanks

    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General. 
    Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
    2.     Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.”  You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
    From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
    I hope this helps.

    I have this same issue and I have tried doing as you suggested but it won't let me do that withought shutting off FIND MY IPHONE- but I can't turn it off without entering my old password for an old apple id. ....so thoughts?
    You're saying this is happening on a Mac??  Find My iPhone is a feature of iOS devices, not Macs.  If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on an iOS device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
