How can your reset your password to simple format without reseting the whole phone?

Turn off passcode, then re-enable such. Note: if you have an Exchange account, the requirement to use a non-simple passcode can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.

How can you reset your security questions if you have forgot them.?

You may find solutions if you look under More Like This at the right of this page. If not, this forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store and hence not the best place to get assistance with this problem. You'll be most likely to get additional help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums where this question has been asked and answered in a number of other threads.
Regards.

HT201363 How can you reset your security questions if you can't remember the answers?

Hello! my question is how can you reset your security questions if you don't remember the answers?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos? This was before icloud was available, can you reset your password?

If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos off of it? This was before Icloud was available. Can you reset your itunes password somehow?

iTunes and the iTunes Store won't have anything to do with your photos. Those would be stored only on your laptop unless you made a backup of some sort. If you didn't, and the hard drive in your laptop has failed, then your photos are gone unless you wish to pay a disk recovery service a lot of money to try and get them back.
As to your music, if you purchased it from the iTunes Store you can probably re-download it. Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

How can you reset your Installer even though you forget the old password?

I forget the password to Installer (username of the laptop). Now, it asks me for the old password to reset
Please Help

Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
      the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
      command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
     until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
     message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

How can you reset your admin password when you can't remember it?

How can you reset a password if you received the computer from another owner and they didn't give you the CD that came with the computer or the password

I brought a MacBook Pro on ebay and the owner didn't send the CD and it is still password locked. How can I get into the computer?

You have posted to the OS X Server forum, your question is Mac computer question.
Which password - account password, firmware password?
You should get the CD and/or password from the seller or take the unit to an Apple service center. There are many pages, some dubious, about how to get into Macs but I am not going to post them here. If you are legit you will not mind taking the machine into an Apple service center.

How do you reset your password?

I've recently moved and had to reset up my entire network but I can't remember my password to my time machine - can anyone help?
-Thank yoU!

By Time Machine do you mean Time Capsule.
The password might be recoverable.
See document by Tesserax.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3372
Otherwise and far easier IMHO.. do a soft reset..
This means you press the reset button on the TC for 1sec.
All passwords revert to default.. (public) for 5min.
That allows you the chance to reset them. This time write them down.
