How do I change my master password when the current password is to press enter (with nothing in the password blank)?

Whenever I try and change my master password I can not manage to.  I got a new hard drive and the person at the apple store told me that the password was to just press enter (with nothing in password blank), and that I would be able to change it.  Everytime I try and change the master password it says, "incorrect password" under the current master password blank.  It has been awhile since then and I have moved so I can not go back there and get them to figure it out.  So the question is, Is there anyway to change it without wiping my entire hard drive and starting over?

    You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it.  It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

  • HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically.  I do not want this.  How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

    For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

  • How do I change an apple Id when the wrong one appears

    How  do I change an apple id, when the wrong one appears

    On your Mac/PC open iTunes (make sure it is updated). On the tabs on the left click on "iTunes Store". This will change the window on the right to the iTunes store. The top right corner should have your Apple ID or Sign In written. If there is an Apple ID written click on it and Sign Out. The corner should then change to "Sign In".
    Now click on Sign In and sign in with the wrong/incorrect Apple ID that you no longer wish to use or update from.
    Once logged in, click on the down arrow that shows when you move the pointer on the top right corner where it should now show the apple id, and select Account.
    The page that opens up should have a section called "iTunes in the Cloud" with a tab on the side saying "Manage Devices".
    Click on Manage Devices. Its should list your iPhone or iPad that you no longer wish to use with this Apple ID. And click Remove.
    Once its confirmed click "Done" and from the top right corner select Sign Out.

  • How do I change my IP address when I log in?

    how do I change my IP address when I connect to the internet?

    Generally, you do not, your IP address is assigned by your Internet service provider.
    Unless you have paid your ISP to have a fixed IP address at a Fixed location, such as a company web site. In that case you use system preferences -> network, IF AND ONLY IF your Mac is directly attached to the Internet. If you are behind a typical home router, then the router is where the IP address is configured.
    Users do not get to pick their own IP addresses.
