need help to reset password on line without crashing my ipod

Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

    What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

    I just fixed the same problem.  Here's what to do. 
    Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
    scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
    the library folder will open
    go to the keychains folder and open it
    in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
    drag this folder to the desktop
    now restart your machine
    when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
    throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
    You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix.  The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password. 
    Good luck!!!

  • Can user Reset the Password without Administrator help in MS Exchange server 2013

    Hi Team 
    IT is possible  for user to reset the password
    in MS Exchange server 2013 without Administrator help? (by getting mobile verification code how we get in Gmail ,& Outlook )   
    if it is possible ,kindly send me the configuration URL to my Mail ID [email protected] & [email protected]
    Thanks & Regards

    You would have to assign Admin role permission to users in EAC.
    To understand this concept in more depth, I would refer you at this well described article : http://www.mustbegeek.com/reset-user-password-in-exchange-2013/
    Or, you may use any third party like, (http://www.selfservicepasswordreset.org/) that seems to be an appropriate approach in your environment. This tool allows end-users to perform self password reset
    and self account unlock from any computer in the network through a web-browser or directly from the login screen without any assistance from the administrator. Administrator can configure strong policy for automatic account unlock and automatic reset
    password at a specified time for any particular domain OU's.

  • My husband plugged in a password and we don't know what it is and cannot log onto the new computer.  How can I reset the password if I can't log on?

    My husband was setting up the iMac he got us for Christmas.  I already have a MacBook Pro.  I do not know the sequence of events but I do know he wanted to use my iTunes account on the iMac so I provided passwords.  Now we cannot log onto the computer using any of my passwords.  He must have mistyped something.  How do we log onto the computer if we can't figure out what the password is?

    If it's a new Mac I guess it's running Lion, if so, hopefully this'll help:

  • HT1766 how can i reset my password without losing everthing

    i can not remeber my password to open my ipod.  how do i reset it without loosing everything?

    You do not. You have to connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore.
    It is a good security feature.

  • I created a "guest" network on my Time Machine router, but now i can't remember the password.  How can I reset the password on that guest network?

    When I upgraded to Time Machine to replace my Apple Airport, I created a "guest" network as well as a main network for the family.  Now I can't access the guest network, likely because I am not using the right password.  I have forgotten (if I ever knew) how to edit the password requirements for a network.  Any assistance would be welcome.

    On your Mac.....
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    The settings for the Guest Network are located in the center of the window, below the settings for the "Main" network.
    Edit/backspace out the password for the Guest Network and and then Verify the password again
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and give the Time Capsule a full minute to restart
    It might be a good idea to write down the new password that you created and keep it in a safe place.

    Hi emathers, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    As long as it's not a Firmware Password set, Reset OS X Password Without an OS X CD...
    http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
    Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences! (Use a new Shortname & such so as not to interfere with the original)

  • DDL statements in v$sql tables, how can i get the password.....

    Hi friends,
    When I create a user by issuing a statement like
    create user abcd identified by xyz;
    user created.
    but, how can i get the password without encryption in the v$XXXXX tables. Is there any dynamic table which stores the statement executed above in the current session, so that I can get the original password given.
    but when selecting the password by the query
    select password from sys.user$
    where name = 'abcd';
    Password

    .........this is not my password(yes it is!) but not understandable..,
    Anybody please, show me the right way or query..,
    Post-Query Thanx..
    Praveenkumar Talla (Pune, India)

    I would hope there is no way to get this data. I wouldn't want a mechanism to grab passwords out of the SGA. Passwords are stored encrypted in the database. If you need to know the password, run another 'alter user username identified by password' and make not of what you changed it to.

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466
