  • How do you reset you handset password, if you have forgotten it?

    Basically I wanted to get pictures from my blackberry to my computer, so I installed the blackberry desktop application to transfer your media from blackberry to PC. This went fine, so then I plugged my blackberry into my computer using the USB lead, when I did this a box came up asking for my password, I assumed this would be my handset password, however when I tried this it did not work.
    So I unplugged my blackberry, and then I tried to go on my blackberry, and it came up asking me to type 'blackberry' into a password box, which I did, and then it asked me for a password, which I typed in my handset password however this is not working
    How do I reset my handset password without being able to get onto my blackberry? I dont want to lose all of my photos etc.?
    PLEASE HELP !!

    Upon the last failure, the BB will wipe clean and be like a brand hew device. No password at all will be assigned to it, and you start over (starting, of course, with restoring from your most recent backup).
    I am not familiar with all of these "readings of other similar problems" you report. There are plenty of threads here where folks have forgotten their password and wind up wiping, but only rarely do I recall anyone discussing a situation close to yours.
    Good luck!

  • How do I find out my password to back up and restore my new iphone 6? Its not the same as my iTunes password..

    How do I find out my password to back up and restore my new iphone 6? Its not the same as my iTunes password..

    I am guessing you are talking about an encryption password that you placed on the backup you put into iTunes on your computer.
    If so, you elected to encrypt your iPhone's backup.  You will need to recall that password, or you cannot access the backup.

  • How do I find the autofill password that is stored on my mac?

    how do I find the autofill password that is stored on my mac?

    Found it.  It is under keychain.  Then you click the "i" button at the bottom of the page.  It will pull up a box where you can check another box that states "show password". Then you will have to put in your keychain master password, and then .....boom! there it is.

  • HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

    I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

    Hi Kim,
    The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
    After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account. 
    iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address

  • My back up from last Thursday on my iphone 4s is not showing up in my itunes. I deleted something today & I would like to restore to last week when it was on my phone. How do I find the backup on my pc, how do I move it to itunes to restore phone back to

    My back up from last Thursday on my iphone 4s is now showing up in my itunes. I deleted something today and I need it back desperately. I need to restore my phone back to last Thursday when the information was on my phone. How do I find the backup on my pc and once I find it how do I move it to itunes for me to restore my phone to that day?

    I wished I had known this before I said yes to using icloud. I guess those things will be lost and gone forever, since I do not want to lose my present settings and data. Also do not want to go through the hassle of backing up present, then resetting phone, then restoring oldest back up, then backing up oldest backup to pc, so I can safely backup selected items to my pc; then reset my phone again to restore latest back up. It would take way too much time and no guarantee.
    I backed up my phone to my pc, but have not checked it yet, so don't know if it worked.
    If I decide to quit using icloud (which will probably happen since backing up to external hard drive allows me to open backups) what will happen to my present data and settings? Will they just remain as they were without icloud, as they were before icloud? I'm scared to just delete it; not knowing what will happen. Also why is icloud now my outgoing mail server, when my web email was before I installed icloud and how do I restore my web email as my outgoing mail server. I am using yahoo/at&t for all my mail.
    What will happen to my contacts, notes, messages, voice memos, calendar info, alerts, etc., on my phone if I delete icloud?

  • I just updated my iPad. When I went to restore, there were no backups listed. How do I find past backups?

    How do I find past backups on my iPad after updating to ios8?

    Hello txdkmw,
    yes, you are right, but that's what I thought what you were asking for.
    In order to use a backup for restoring a device, you would have to completely reset the device first (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings". Then, in the course of the set up process, you will be able to choose a backup to restore your device.
    Best regards.
