How do I reset my Safari password?

A window pops up every few minutes asking if Safari could use login keychain and it ask for a password. I do not know this... Can someone help me?

It is asking to use your keychain to store and supply names and passwords for sites you go to. When ever you update a program that accesses your keychain this box will show up. I and most people click the always allow button so long as it is an application I am aware of. The password and name it is asking for is your username and password. The one you use to log into your computer, the one you used when you set up the computer, the same one it asks for when you run apple software update.

    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).

  • How do i reset my safari when it wont open

    How do i reset my safari when it wont open!

    If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
    If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

    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
