HT1515 I never set a password for my airport express now it asks for one.

Password for airport express?

Hello Feb361,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you may need to perform a soft reset of your AirPort Express:
Under what circumstances will I need to do a reset?
Soft reset: Perform this reset if you have forgotten your password. A soft reset resets your password and disables security settings (Access Control and RADIUS settings are temporarily interrupted). Forgetting the password would normally prevent you from connecting to or configuring the device. If you make no changes within five minutes of doing a soft reset, the device will revert back to its former state. All of the device's settings will be available after it has restarted.
What important information should I know before performing a reset?
The device will remain in soft reset mode for five minutes. If you do not make your changes within five minutes of pressing the reset button, you will need to reset it again.
How do I reset my AirPort base station?
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

Trying to add a VPN but must enter password for credential storage. What is that? I never set a password for credential storage.

I am trying to add a VPN and need to enter password for credential storage. What is that? I never set a password for credential storage. Where do I get it?

I've been trying to set up a VPN from my LG G2 and it also asks for the password for credential storage. However, entering the password associated with the VPN, does nothing. What are they asking for?

I never set a password for my acrobat and it is locking my out of changing the password settings. I am trying to send a file and the reciever cannot access

help

There are quite a lot of possible things that are going on. Can you let us know
1. What system you have (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS Mavericks)?
2. What version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader you have?
3. WHO gets the message about a password (you or the receiver, or both)?
4. What is the full text of the message, if you get it?
5. If the receiver gets it, what security do you set on the file?

PDF Files are password protected. I never set a password

There are a lot of pdf files in the document section. Must be book or magazine pages as they are titled "page101.pdf" and so on with a date underthem.
I tried to open one to see what it was and I got a "password protected" and a box to enter my password. I never set a password for this app. I tried using my Adobe password and my google password to no avail.
How can I open them to see what they are?
Thanks.

The request for a password has absolutely nothing to do with a password for the application or any relationship to your Google password.
The message password protected refers to the PDF file that you are trying to open. Apparently, whoever created the PDF file either a PDF file creation or subsequently password protected the PDF files. You will need to contact whoever supplied those PDF files to you to obtain whatever the password is or passwords are.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do you set up to back up iPad notes in iCloud? I turned on backing up notes in iCloud settings, and it asked me to create a .me account, which I did, but I don't see my notes anywhere on iCloud, and I never received a password for my .me account.

You'll find your notes under Mail in iCloud. There's a separate folder on the left that's labeled notes so you can access them anywhere. And your me.com account will have the same password as your Apple ID (in fact, you can log into iCloud with just your Apple ID, as the two accounts are permanently linked).

Apple is asking me for a password to update the OS X. I never set a password, but I can't update the OX without a password. What do I do?

I never set a password when I bought the iMac, nevertheless, Apple won't update the software without a password. How can I solve this?

Go to System Preferences, Users & Groups, then Change Password to add a password for the account.
Even when you are using the default, out-of-the-box addount, which is an admin account, you must have a password set to do software updates.

Follow the steps for Lion.
But, why are you doing this? I've never found the need to do that.

@Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

The backup is corrupt, restore as a new device, then sync your content to the device.

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.
