HT1222 I can't remember my password for updating my iPad software OS7. I thought it was my apple password

I tried to update my iPad os7 but the password I used was not accepted. Isn't it the same as my Apple ID password?

Hi Herluf, do you have Windows 8 or newer?
Usually you log on to Windows 8 using your Microsoft Hotmail/Live/Outlook account user name and password. Please see this article for more information on how to reset your password if you have forgotten it:

Or you might try Microsoft's support forums for additional advice.

I can't remember the password I used to set up icloud nor the email I used to set it up with. I have my apple ID and email for that account.

I recently had to do a factory restore on my iphone 4s. Upon trying to set up my phone again I am being asked to sign into my icloud account. I can't remember the password or the email I used to set it up. I know my Apple ID, password and email for that account, but that doesn't allow me to get back into my phone. I can't reset the icloud password because I can't remember the email I used. Any ideas on what I can do please ?

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

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.

For some reason or other I can't remember my password for my apple id and when I go to reset it I can't find the email they have sent me.

For some reason or other I can't remember my password for my apple id and when I go to reset it I can't find the email they have sent me.I think they are sending it to my apple email [email protected] which I can't access as they are telling me my password is wrong and send me an email message to this email address which I cannot remember the password for. I am in a vicious circle.Support have emailed me and stated they can't change it?!

Sign in at http://icloud.com with the new ID and password and confirm that your data is still all there.
Then sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in with the new ID and password. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.

How can you get the filter off if you can't remember the password? It's"pro con" and it wont even let me check out the rates for aflight.

Can't remember my password for my Game Center account

Game Center has always signed in automatically from my ipod touch. But all of a sudden not too long ago it asked for my login info and I can't remember my password. There are no FAQs or anything for the app, as far as I can tell, and I don't even know for sure if I'm using the right email address. Any help is appreciated!

Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore.

The password is yours to keep and remember. Adobe do not have any backdoor to get it back -- because if there were a backdoor, hackers would use it.
