How do I change administration password?

Hey guys, I lost the administration password to allow downloads to my computer, how do I retrieve it? I've already tried to reset my "Apple ID" password but apparently they are not the same thing. Thanks in advance!

  • HT5022 How do I change my "password" for using an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi base station?

    My Kindle Fire asked for a password for my Airport Extreme 802.11 Wi-Fi. The password used on other devices using the Airport Extreme does not seem to work and Apple Support is not willing to help unless a service charge is made. How do I change my password or find out what the password is?

    I am assuming that you are referring to the AirPort's wireless security password and not its base station Administrator's password ... correct?
    If so, there are number of methods of resetting a password if you don't remember what it is. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for additional details.

  • 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!

  • How can I change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit.  No password was given with the iBook?  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 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.

  • I changed my gmail e-mail password. How do I change the password that Thunderbird uses to log in to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird is still using the old password to access the account. How do I change the password that Thunderbird is using. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new Thunderbird account for gmail. Creating the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I really don't want to have three Thunderbird accounts for the same gmail account.
    Please do not respond with suggestions about using Password Manager. I do not use it and do not intend to start. I looked and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed there. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature allowing you to change it's passwords, one should be added.

    This is the only way.

    How can I change the password on my stolen iphon5 which shares data with my ipad2

    If you had Find My iPhone activated on your iPhone, you can remotely wipe it, which you can do through iCloud on your computer.  If you did not have Find My iPhone active on your phone you're out of luck.
    You should immediately change all passwords for your Apple ID, email, any apps where you had a password, or any where you have credit cards tied to shopping.
