  • How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

    How can I set a password on my Mac Mini?  Someone else is reading my emails.  I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password.  Is that possible?  How?

    So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
    You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
    You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

  • HT201412 how can you reset your password to simple 4 digit format?

    How can your reset your password to simple format without reseting the whole phone?

    Turn off passcode, then re-enable such. Note: if you have an Exchange account, the requirement to use a non-simple passcode can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.

  • HT1904 How can i reset my password

    How can i reset my password i had setup for my parental control. I forgot it.

    If you can't remember the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

  • HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

    What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

    I just fixed the same problem.  Here's what to do. 
    Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
    scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
    the library folder will open
    go to the keychains folder and open it
    in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
    drag this folder to the desktop
    now restart your machine
    when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
    throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
    You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix.  The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password. 
    Good luck!!!
