Reset my password via e-mail link and can't login

It has been awhile since I've used spotify and I didn't remember my password so I requested a password reset e-mail. After following the link and picking my new password it automatically logged me in. I wanted to make sure that the password worked so I could try to login to spotify on my phone. At this point the website refused to let me login with my password claiming it was incorrect. I tried to reset my password one more time and it again refused to let me login using my password. Can anyone offer any help?

How do I unsave my password from iChat so other people can't log on as me?

I'm using a loaner computer and signed on to iChat but now my password is saved and I don't want other people to be able to sign on as me. There doesn't seem to be any way to set it to require entry of a password.
Many thanks.

Hi Cameronian,
Open Keychain Access for the Applications/Utilities folder.
Find the Keychain for the account and double click it.
Now select the Show Password tick box.
You will be asked for your Admin Password.
Enter it and click the allow once.
Delete the password.
In iChat go to Preferences > Accounts and delete the password in the account in question.
In iChat when you are asked for your password make sure the Save Password tickbox is unchecked.

HT5312 How do u reset my security questions I forgot them

How do u reset my security because I forgot them and all I can do is buy them off the computer and not my iPod touch

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
-If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

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 OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then 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.
