How to reset the password used in secured backup in itunes?

I forgot the password that I used to create a secure backup of my iPhone.  Now I want to create a new backup, but it will not let me without the correct password.  Is there a way for me to reset this password to do a new backup?  Thanks.

  • Resetting the Password using wwsso_ls_private.ls_reset_password

    While resetting the password using wwsso_ls_private.ls_reset_password, an exception is thrown.
    Here is the exception:
    ERROR at line 1:

    Any idea why this exception is thrown?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Installing the Password Reset Feature for 3.0.7
    Sometimes users forget their passwords and want to reset them. The Login Server offers a
    feature that resets a user's password to a random value and then notifies the user of the new password.
    This feature potentially presents a security issue, because the user is unauthenticated when requesting a password reset for a particular user account. For this reason, the password reset feature is not enabled by default and must be set up by the following steps.
    Perform the following steps to install the password reset feature:
    1. On the database where the Login Server is installed, log on to SQL*Plus as the Login Server schema
    Example: sqlplus portal30_sso/portal30_sso
    2. Enter the following command:
    @ssoreset
    This script creates a package called WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT in the Login Server
    schema and grants execute privileges on the WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT package to PUBLIC. WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT contains a single procedure, reset_password, that resets a password to a random value.
    3.After resetting the password, the reset_password procedure calls another procedure WWSSO_ALERT.password_reset_notification). The purpose of the
    password_reset_notification procedure is to inform the user of the new password. However, the default implementation of the password_reset_notification
    procedure, created during the installation of the Login Server, does nothing.
    The specification of the WWSSO_ALERT package is:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE wwsso_alert
    IS
    /* General failure exception. This will be used by the UI to alert the user that the notification
    Note: You must replace the WWSSO_ALERT package body with an
    implementation that sends the user his or her new password, for example, through e-mail (using UTL_SMTP), or workflow. If you do not replace this package body, the password will be reset to a value that no-one will ever know, and the user will still be unable to log on.

    4. Create a page that calls the reset_password procedure to allows users to
    reset their passwords.
    Reset Password Page Example
    The following is an example of how to design a page for resetting a user's password.
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE="Reset password">
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H1>Reset password</H1>
    <FORM ACTION="http://server.domain[:port]/pls/dad/
    schema.WWSSO_APP_ACCOUNT.RESET_PASSWORD">
    <B>User Name: </B>
    <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="p_user">
    <BR><BR>
    <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="p_back_url"
    VALUE="http://server.domain[:port]/pls/dad/schema.home">
    <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="p_error_url"
    VALUE="http://server.domain[:port]/pls/dad/schema.error">
    <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Reset Password">
    <FORM>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    After the password for a user name has been reset (p_back_url) to the reset_password proced ure, the page must pass at least a user name (p_user) and the URL of a page to which to return. The page may also pass the URL of a page to display if any errors are encountered (p_error_url).

  • Default e-mail is dead, how to reset the password ...

    Hello,
    I'm using Skype for a long time, my profile has some e-mails and a phone number.
    Unfortunately I forgot the password and my default e-mail is no more accessible. I would like to change the default e-mail to another one but it requests the password which I forgot and which may be sent to the default e-mail which is not accessible.
    Please help me to set any other my profile's e-mail as default to reset the password, or please suggest how may I log in.
    PS. I had to use another account to send this message.
    Best regards,

  • How to reset the password on a PowerBook 1400c.

    I recently inherited an old powerbook 1400c from a relative which passed, and am trying to reset the password in order to use the machine.  I know that I could purchase the original os floppies, however I am not so keen on the $60+ I would spend to do so.  If there is any suggestions or ways that I could possibly do so, thank you in advance. 
    Just for the record, I'm not new to macs per say, I've been using multiple macs for about a year and a half now, and am a registered IT for windows PCs (which, who isn't?).
    Again, thanks in advance!

    I finally fired up the old 7600 running OS 8.6 and, because it has a fairly fresh install, there's not much in the pref file. However, i did find one thing to try.
    In the path MacIntosh HD > System > Preferences, the last entry is likely "Users and Groups prefs." The only security I can find in control panels is in Users and Groups, and there you set up sharing with a password. Deleting the Users and Groups pref should take out any sharing password that has been set.
    However, 8.6 doesn't have the muliti-user structure of OS9, so it's not being as obvious as was the old notebook I was able to wake up.
    See if a pref with a name similar to "network log-in" is present. If so, delete it. IF teh computer wereonce on a scholl or coroporate network, that could be at play
    Another thought. Some OS7 versions, especially 7.0 and 7.1, had a different multi-user scheme called At Ease. It built custom launcher screens for each user and was set up so parrents could keep the kids out of their programs and files through a password.
    Look for any prefs that contain "At Ease" and delete them. We have one older Mac, a Performa 475 running OS7.1 that is ofline right now that had At Ease. We ended up not using it beaouse it seemed to induce instability and wanted more RAM. The computer had only 4MB RAM soldered to the logic boards and one expansion slot. The first RAM stick we bought for it in the early 90s was an 8MB sitck that cost US$260!
    I'm getting worried that you might has a third-party security package mucking up the works. If you see a preference name you think might be a security pref, post it and I can compare to the "clean" list on my 7600.

  • How to reset the password for email for Nokia

    Hi,
    I got a new Nokia E71, and was able to configure the email. I also created an account at email.nokia.com, and configured an account using my hotmail account, and then on the phone I was able to configure all my other personal emails. It is working fine. But I am trying to login into email.nokia.com using the same id, but passowrd I thought seems to be not working. If I try to create a new account, it says it is already registered. Is there way we can reset the password. I need to have the passowrd, as I need it if I update the phone with new firmware and need to re-configure the emails.

    By using the password of course, otherwise using password would is useless if we can get around it.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate 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 then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I have forgotten my keychain password was wondering how to reset the password for it

    I have forgotten my password for my keychain. How can I reset it?

    If you don't know the keychain password, the only way to reset it is to delete the old keychain and create a new one. See the instructions in Keychain Access Help. (Keychain Access is in the Applications > Utilities folder.) The keychain is encrypted, and the contents cannot be recovered without the original password.
