How can you retrieve a password. My daughter is locked out of her IPod because she forgot her password.

How can we change password on an Ipod. My daughter has forgotten current password and has been locked out.

It can' be retrieved. To reset the password:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can you retrieve a forgotten game center password?

I need help! My 8-year-old son set-up his own separate account/nickname for Game Center. Now he can't recall his password. Because he is so young, his account had to be piggy-backed with an adult's account. How can I retrieve his password? He's very upset at the prospect of having to start all hs games over.
He had a nickname, too.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums! This is your first question, right?
Game Center isn't needed for any of your son's games to work. I don't think a 8 year old needs leaderboards or achievements. You can play without GC, but you can also try this approach by Cosmic Ray. Read the full discussion with the link below.
Hello everyone. I was having the exact same problem. Forgot my password and was unable to sign back into my Game Center account. I just figured out how to get back on, using the same Apple ID.
On Game Center sign in screen, just click "Create New Account." I entered the exact same email that I had used before, and same personal information. It alerted me that the email address was already in the system and if I wanted to use this again. I clicked "yes." After clicking the "Agree" button, my previous Apple ID was active again and I was able to sign in.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Cheers,

How can I retrieve a password for a document?

You won't believe this....
I made a document in Acrobat 9 on my Win7 computer, password protected it, typed it in a 2nd time, then saved the document. Just seconds later, I went to test the document to make sure it'd open, so I tried to open it, and ..... it wouldn't open. It said 'wrong password'. So I must have had my fingers on the keyboard in the wrong home base position, and typed something other than I thought. I typed the same "password" with my fingers in different spots on the keyboard, but couldn't replicate the mistake.
How can I retrieve a password?
1) I thought there was something on computers where you could find out previous keystrokes, especially if you've not yet turned off your computer. I read one time where you do some steps then paste the results onto a .txt file, and it will show your previous keystrokes.
2) I almost bought one of those Password Recovery software programs online last night from Daosoft. I wonder if they're a scam, or if they really work?

You can't recover the password. If you could, I could have as well and the whole purpose of encryption would be moot. This is why it is a good practice to save the original PDF before you secure it.
If the password that you created was a really strong one (other than word 'password' or some other word) I doubt that the password recovery programs would do the work. They are usually good only for fairly simple passwords.
Acrobat X added new way of encryption that is almost impossible to crack and Acrobat XI added the password strength indicator which tells you how good the password that you're entering is.

How can you bypass a password-

How can you bypass a password. This is my son's phone and he is in trouble. I need to access his phone. The account is in my name. ATT won't help.

There is no way to bypass the lock screen password. If there were it would not provide any security. It's not AT&T refusing to help; they can't, because the only place the lock code is stored is on the phone. If the phone is backed up regularly to a computer or to iCloud you can restore it as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and then restore the backup. You will still need the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set up Find my iPhone.

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

How can i retrieve my password to access my backup restore for my iphone

how can i retrieve for backup password for my iphone

If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain for retriever.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

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.
