HT1212 changed password but cannot remember it. Fingerprint should still work?

My daughter changed her password on her new 5s but she cannot remember it.
Fingerprint should still allow her to unlock the device? It is not.
Is the only way to wipe the device???

recovery mode
open itunes on computer
plug cable into computer not iOS device
turn device off
hold home button and plug cable into IOS device.  do not release home button until an itunes graphic appears on IOS device.
look to computer should have message about recovery mode click ok and restore
Peace, Clyde

  • TS3276 email was hacked, can open email on yahoo (after changing passwords) but cannot open mail on my computer, cannot even access mail because it will not accept my user name or password and I am unable to reset my account

    email was hijacked and spam/virus link sent out to all of my contacts on wed at 4:21AM..... with the Subject as Rep: My Name or My email address and a link to a web page discussing making money working at home.  Could not get into any of my mail, on the web or on Mail on my mac.  After a phone call to automated support through Yahoo through ATT, I was given a temporary password and was able to reset my Yahoo password and get email on the internet.  I still cannot open my Mail Account on either my iMac or MacBook Pro.  I cannot get into Mail, period.  My sign in keeps popping up and it keeps telling me that my user name or password is incorrect.  I tried my old password, the temporary password and the new password.  Nothing is working,  I cannot receive or send anything in Mail.  Mail is Frozen.  If I want my email, I must go to the web and sign into Yahoo Mail.
    Help!

    When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
    In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it. 

  • I am trying to change my security questions but cannot remember previous answers

    I am trying to change my security questions but cannot remember previous answers it is asking me for, is there a way to reset these answers and insert new ones?

    Hello nicholas,
    This article should help you reset the security questions, found here:
    About Apple ID security questions
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page.
    If you already have security questions, you'll be asked to answer them before continuing. Forgot the answers?
    Choose your new security questions, then enter the answers.
    Add and verify a rescue email address, if that option is available.
    Click Save.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

  • I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support

    I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support to set up my new ID.

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Reset your password:
    Insert the Leopard disc and hold the C key while your Mac is starting to start up from the DVD.
    Choose your language, go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Reset Password, select your user and change your password.
    Go to  > Restart, eject the DVD by pressing the mouse during startup and update Mac OS X.

  • I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

    I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

    How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
    Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the  AirPort Forums for instructions.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
        2.    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
        3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • TS2446 my apple id has been disabled i changed  password but it's not works

    my apple id has been disabled i changed  password but it's not works

    Try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
    If that doesn't work then you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Reset/change password error - cannot log in to builder - HELP!

    I'm encountering the same problem I described some time ago here: Reset/change password error - cannot log in to builder
    Briefly, the builder tells me I must change my password. When I attempt to do so, the password change page displays a null username, and tells me that my existing password is invalid. The same password failure occurs using the new password emailed to me by the "Rest password" function.
    I've cleared my browser cache, closed the browser, rebooted my client (WinXP), to no avail.
    Anyone able to help?
    Thanks
    jd

    Update:
    Workaround: log in using a different client machine.
    Scary.
    It looks the same problem reported, without response, here: Apex.oracle.com SaaS Login - Must Change Password.
