HT3728 how do I change my Apple Extreme password

how do I change my Apple Extreme password

It is extremely unlikely that someone has guessed your password unless you used something really obvious like "your name", "password", "default", etc as the password.
It might first make sense to find out how many devices are connected to your wireless network. If you "see" 4 devices, and you only own 3, then you might have an unwanted guest on the network.
To find out....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click on the AirPort Exteme icon
Look at the number of currently connected wireless devices (Clients). You can perform this check from time to time to keep tabs on your wireless network.
If the speed on your network has slowed down, there are likely other wireless networks around you that are interfering with your signal. You need to restart the AirPort Extreme again so that it will automatically scan and select the best available channel to use at the time.
To do this, simply pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme, wait 10-15 seconds, and then plug it back in.
If you want to change the password for the network, open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears.
Now click the Wireless tab at the top of the window.
Edit out the Wireless Password and type in then new password, then do the same to Verify Password.
I would also recommend that you change the Wireless Network Name.
Click the Update button at the lower right to save the changes.

  • How do I change my Apple ID & Password on iphone?

    I changed my Apple ID and password on my new PC, I have tried to change it on my phone so that they are connected to the same Itunes, but it wont work?
    I am trying to buy some more storage for my phone, but the password is incorrect, despite being the one that works on my PC?
    I'm really confused. I have tried going to storage, store and putting in the new apple ID &Password,as suggested by another discussion, but it still says that my password is incorrect? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Settings>iTunes/App store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in with your new ID. Regarding iCloud, you have to delete the existing account on your phone...scroll down, delete account.

  • HT204266 My apple ID for the App Store on my Iphone is incorrect.  It is the email address of someone on my contact list and not me.  How do I change the Apple ID Password  on my Iphone to my Apple ID Password

    When I go on the App Store App on my Iphone my Apple ID is not correct.  It is the email address of someone on my contact list.  How can I correct this and replace the incorrect Apple ID with my ID?

    Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
    Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?

  • How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?

    How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.

    It is possible he was incorrect.
    > When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
    Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
    Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
    I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
    For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
    I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.
    > In the link that you provided Tuttle did a better job than I did as to the difficulty factor. Not sure why you were linking it.

    How many million participants have these forums?
    At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
    > Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
    I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
    In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
    Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums.

  • I changed my Apple ID password and validated it OK but when I try to update or download apps now it asks me to enter password and then says it's not been validated.  how do I get out of this?

    I changed my Apple ID password and successfully validated it.  Problem is the iPad App Store won't recognise me anymore.  if I select an App to update it asks me to enter password, then says "You have not verified your Application ID.Tap OK to view the instructions on how to verify your ID.".
    A new pop up box then appears saying an email has been sent to my address.  The box to resend this is greyed out and the bottom line says "your email has already been validated successfully. thank you."
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and force the iPad to let me update or download Apps again?

    Same issues here. I try and log into face time and cloud, it tells me my email is not veryfied. I go back through the link sent in the verification email and, low and behold, it tells me my address has already been veryfied.
    Getting really annoyed now. I have tried using a different email to log in with, but not even getting the verify email in my inbox, even after it states it has sent one.
    CMON APPLE!!! Please resolve this glitch.

  • I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband.  How do I change the Apple ID over to him.  We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads

    I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband.  How do I change the Apple ID over to him.  We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads

    Hi Marg42,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
    My Apple ID
    https://appleid.apple.com
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
    Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
    This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:
