How do I reset my ID password? Why is it visible in the box when I type it?

i Had an email saying someone had used my ID on another device to purchase something. It is probably spam but I decided to reset my password ( not by following the email links.) In the box there was no ' starring' for security but I went ahead and typed it, and it says on the next page that an email has been sent. I haven't received an email so now I'm more worried by security. Can you explain what I'm doing wrong. I checked my Spam programme but it' not in there.

You seem to have done everything just right.The password field seems odd, but if everything else proceeded normally - until no confirmation email, that is - you will need to try this >  Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
best luck & stay safe

    How could I reset my iCloud password because my apple id password is different

    You can't restore the iPhone without the original Apple ID. But Apple IDs are never deleted (unless you go through a long process with Apple Security). Why do you think the ID no longer exists?

    You are going to need to go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve your iCloud/Apple ID. Once you know your ID, you can log onto Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to answer the Security Questions you will need to answer. If you don't remember the answers, you will have to contact Apple Support to have them reset: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

  • How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

    Hi guys,
    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).

    Insert a compatible Mac OS X DVD, restart with the Option key held down, and use its Reset Password utility. If the computer has a firmware password set, you need to know that.

    You have encountered the Activation Lock. If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a "certain" (your word not mine) Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the certain" Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot do this you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • HT5639 how can I reset my email password?

    how can I reset my email password?
    ical keeps jumping up and down asking for the pw, but i dont remember it...

    Hi swhite22
    The only way to reset your email password is to get in contact with your email service provider. All you would need to try and find out is what your email address is and then you can find out who is hosting and get them to reset it for you.
    Otherwise It just sounds like your iCal is set with an account to sync calendars and you can also decide if it is needed in there and at least stop the account so the request doesn't come up every few minutes.
    Hope this sheds some light on the subject
