How do i find the password for my airport extreme

I have had an airport extreme for a number of years. Originaly it was set up buy the company I bought it from. However recently I have had some problems with my airport extreme and would like to upgrde the firmware, but it keeps asking for a password of which I have no knowledge of. My question is how do I get this pass word or how can I upgrade the firmware

You will need to factory reset your Extreme. More info is here:

  • How do I find the WPA for my Airport Extreme?

    How do find the WPA for Airport Extreme?

    It asks for my SSID,
    SSID is a fancy term for the actual name of a wireless network. So, you have two basic settings for  a wireless network:
    1) The actual Name of the network, or SSID. You set this up when you set up the AirPort Extreme.
    2) The Password of the wireless network. You also set this up when you set up the AirPort Extreme.
    I know the password, but it has two capitalized letters and in the Sony set up I can't find a way to get caps, just lower case
    Then it would be a good idea to change the wireless network password to all lower case letters to allow things to match up.
    It is also a good idea to keep the name of the wireless network....or SSID....simple.
    Use only normal letters and numbers.....with no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc. 
    Keep the wireless network name short.....no more than 20 characters with no blank spaces in the name. Mine is twndb for example.
    Same general guidelines for the wireless network password, except the password must have at least 8 characters.

  • How do I find the password to my airport extreme base station?

    I have a flashing yellow leght on the base station and when I try to find out which one I have it asks for a password. I don't remember assigning one but it won't let me in.

    Launch Keychain Access located in  HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select passwords on the left.
    Type   base station    in the search field top right corner of the window.
    Now double click that keychain then select the Attributes tab.
    Select the box next to:  Show Password
    You may be prompted for your admin password before proceeding.
    Now open AirPort Utility located in the same Utilities folder. Select the base stattion on the left then click Manual Setup.
    Select AirPort from the menu at the top of that window then select the Base Station tab.
    Type in the correct password then select:  Remember this password in my keychain then click Update.

  • How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

    How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

    DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • How do i find the password for my ipod classic

    Hey guys I'm having a problem with my ipod it's saying if need an password but I have no idea what it is, it locked my out so I have plugged it into my laptop with which I registered my ipod but I cannot find the password to unlock it on the registration so any ideas folks short of sending it into Apple Store!!

    The Apple Store cannot help recover your password.
    See iPod: How to use the Screen Lock - Apple Support.
    Work out what password you set, or restore the device. Assuming your media is in your library this takes some time but isn't otherwise difficult. If you've manually managed the iPod without keeping the media in your library you now know why this is not a good idea. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Off hand I don't know if the various media recovery tools or techniques work with a password locked iPod classic, but quite possibly not.

  • How/where do I find the password/passphrase on airport extreme to set up printer?

    I am trying to set up my printer, and I have the Airport Extreme router. It asks for a password/pass phrase and states that it should be ont he bottom of the router. I have tried every number and letter that is on the bottom of the router and still I can't get the printer set up. It keeps stating that I have the wrong WPA password. Anyone know where I can find this WPA password?

    It's the same one you use when connecting to your wireless network with a computer, and no, it's not printed anywhere on the Extreme.
    If you are using a Mac that you use with that Extreme, I have a way to determine it.
    If not, you will need to reconfigure your Extreme with a WPA password you remember.
    Let me know which procedure you would like.

  • How do I find the Client ID with Airport Extreme?

    Cant find the Manual Setup feature in the airport utility.

    The Manual Setup feature....and a lot of other features..... were dropped when Apple went to Lion 10.7.4.
    The best that you can do is open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Extrme icon to get some basic info. Click Edit in the box to go deeper into the application.
    If you are still using Lion 10.7.4, you can install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion and keep it along with AirPort Utility 6.x on your Mac. Use the one that you want.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Mountain Lion unless you employ some unofficial workarounds.

  • HT5243 how do I find my password for adobe and Java

    how do I find my password for adobe and Java

    "Java" doesn't have a password, unless you mean your admin password for installing software. That's whatever password you (or the person who set your computer up) used to set up your admin account. That's the same password that you use when you start up the computer if you get asked for one. You cannot retrieve this password if you've forgotten it, but you can reset it and make a new one. See this support article if that's the case:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14325
    "Adobe" is a company and likewise doesn't have a password. However, if you have Adobe cloud-based software you may well have set up a password with them. Adobe also require an account and password for downloading certain products. You'll need to contact Adobe to retrieve any such password if you've lost it.
