How do you reset your computer's password?
For the past 8 months or so my friend has never done any of the apple updates on his Macbook.
Why? Because he has *forgotten his password* – the one you need to install any applications onto the computer.
At first it didn’t bother him but now it’s been going on for so long he has missed out on all the updates for iTunes, QuickTime and just general maintenance of the laptop.
_How do you reset the password?_
He is running on Mac OS X version 10.4 “Tiger”
Hi,

Settings > Phone > SIM PIN lets you change. That's on iOS 6. I think it was slightly different on iOS 5, not sure where it was then.

How can you reset your Creative Cloud password?
So I forgot the password to my Creative Cloud account and whenever I try to sign into it so that I can update my photoshop it tells me that I have the wrong password. It's already shown me the hint but the hint not only has multiple answers to it but I've tried the one I know should have been the right one and it still won't sign in. Is there anyway that I can change this? Because I've only had photoshop for two months and I want to get all of my updates before my one year is over with. Please if anyone does know the answer please help! I want to be able to update my photoshop every time a new update comes out!
A password reset link has been send to you by the representative with whom you had contacted, hope it has helped you, please let us know in case of any issue.

hi all how do you reset your security questions. i can not remember the answers. how do you reset them? i cant buy anything because it keeps coming up
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
HT201303 How do you reset your security questions if you do not know the answers?
How do you reset your security questions if you do not know the answers?
If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).
Or you could see if the second half of Kappy's reply in this thread helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/20357006#20357006 -

how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?
Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.
