HT1904 what happens if you forget your password?

hi everybody

That depends on what the password is for. If it's the password for your iTunes account then you can try this link : http://iforgot.apple.com
If the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may also need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If the code for Settings > General > Restrictions on the iPad then it will depend on whether it was in place on the iPad when you last backed up. If it wasn't then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

What happens if you forget your password code lock on the ipod touch main screen? how will u no what it is if u forget?

what the title says

You connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if you do not have the syncing computer you place the iPod in recovory mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

HT5312 what happens if you forget your security questions

what happens if you dont know your security questions

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

HT4113 what happens if you forget the password?

What happens and what can you do if you forgot your passcode? is there anything you can do?

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

What is the url when you forget your password?

What is the url that needs to be entered when you forget your password to retrieve it?

Can I just point out the obvious? (Well, it is to me at any rate!)
If there was a URL that "needs to be entered" (I assume you mean a URL to be visited), in order to retrieve your password when you forget it, wouldn't that enable those people you know and wish to prevent getting in to your iPod (which - presumably, is why you put the password on it) to go to that same URL, get your password and use it to get into your Touch?
Or is it me?

Repeating the message 'Did you forget your password? "message. Help

When I try to login to the iTunes store or check my account I get the error message:
*Did you forget your password? Your password was incorrectly entered numerous times and for your protection, you will need to retrieve it before continuing to use the iTunes store'*
Of course I have followed the link, re-set my password, tried to log in and I get the message again - and again - and again
the iphone works normally.
any ideas?

as you suspected, when you click on that "Did you forget your password" link on your local install, you're supposed to be taken to the screen where you can have your password reset to a system-generated value. after resetting the password, an email is then sent to the email address associated with that users record. having said this, can you let me know the URL to which that link is directing you on your local install (sending it to [email protected] would be great)? it sounds as if it's not pointing to the right place...for some reason. to be thorough, could you maybe include the url of the screen you're coming from as well? maybe there'll be a clue there as to what might be causing your issue.
thanks,

HT201303 What about if you know your password, but forget the answers to my security questions?

What do you do when you know your apple ID and password, but forget your security question answers? It won't let me purchase any music without answering them.

If you have a rescue 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 set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

What do you do when you forget your password? I am trying to install photoshop and before a window comes up saying it's locked and I have to put in my password to continue. What password and what do I do if I don't remember it!!!

Trying to install photoshop. I get a window that comes up with a lock icon under the Adobe icon and it wants me to give the computer permission to add photoshop so it's asking for a password. I don't know which password it wants and I fear I have forgotten my main password for this computer!
I see to change your password, you have to know your old one. Any help out there?

The Username and password required is that of an Admin User.
If you only ever created your original account, that is your account and your password.
If you auto-login, and never use that password so that you can't remember it, Your Mac is incapable of telling you -- it was encrypted as it was entered the first time, and is never stored "in the clear".
You can change the Admin password, if you can remember your Apple-ID and password.

HT1904 What happen if I forget my security answer?

What happen if I forgot the answer to my security question?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in the country where you and your iTunes account are to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
