HT4314 How to reset secondary game enter account password

I set a account for my 6yr old, giving him a nick name and a Game Center account. Well I forgot his password and the answer for his security question is not working. How can I reset his password without the security question?

Hope you are not still using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
OS X 10.7 Lion, 10.8 MountainLion & 10.9 Mavericks

from the drop down.
Terminal window will appear.
Type in   resetpassword   and press enter on the keyboard.
Leave the Terminal window open.
Reset Password Utility window will open with Macintosh HD selected.
Select the user account from the popup menu box.
Enter a new password.
Reenter the new password for the user.
Enter a hint.
Click the "Save" button.
Click  in the menubar and select Restart.

  • HT4314 How to create several game center accounts using one apple id?

    I have both ipad and iphone. How can i play with my wife/son via game center?

    varjack:  I guess we're just talking about semantics at this point.  What I was saying is:  you absolutely can have multiple accounts in Game Center and still use the same Apple ID to sign in / make purchases across multiple devices - which I think was what the OP was asking.  I would call them "Game Center accounts" instead of Apple IDs because you never actually log into your device using those accounts - only Game Center.  What you are saying is that they are also Apple IDs.  Either way, the terminology is confusing.
    Suffice to say:  the OP can have multiple accounts through Game Center - one for each device - but still keep the "main" Apple ID for making purchases and sharing apps across both devices.  To do this, make a new account in Game Center for the second device.
    Luisno9:  If you're asking is it possible to merge the data from the two accounts, my guess is no.  If you're asking how to log in using only one account excusively, you could try deleting the second account (if that's possible - I haven't tried), although I'm sure you'd lose your place in the game.  Finally, if nothing else works I'd suggest only opening your apps using the same method each time to avoid the problem.  Sorry that's not more help!

  • Resetting the original administrator account password without disk

    How can I reset the original administrator account password without the disk.
    I just moved homes and can't find disk. Pls, help.

    Backup before you begin just in case.
    Boot holding cmd+R. Recovery mode should startup (assuming you have a recovery partition).
    Select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
    Enter the word…
    resetpassword
    … & hit return.
    The GUI app will open, select the main boot HD.
    Select the admin user account in the popup menu.
    Change & save the new password. 
    Quit ResetPassword from the menu,
    Quit Terminal
    Reboot
    NOTE:
    The keychain is setup to use the user login password to unlock when you login. It will now be inaccessible without the old password. You should be prompted to create a new one via a dialog, if not manually create a new login keychain in Keychain Access & set it as 'default'. Backup the old keychain if you are ever likely to remember the old password, or delete it since these passwords are inaccessible without the correct password.

  • Oh no! The Enter Account Password box appears!

    I am a bit dismayed right now!  This box appears when I check for my email messages,
    The box says:  Enter Account Password on top of the box.  Then it says,
    "Enter account password for Gmail(it shows my email address) 
    Underneath that  is the slot to write in my Password. 
    Do I write out my email password or my Playbook password? 
    This has happened a couple of days ago and it's really annoying to not have my email
    functioning in my Playbook.  A couple of days ago, the problem got resolved but I have no
    idea what resolved it. 

    No issues here with me personal domain email nor my gmail account.

  • Resetting the original administrator account password

    Hi All
    Is there a way to Reset the original administrator account password if I do not have any install media (IE: No Leopard Install DVD).
    I bought a Mac Mini and cannot get hold of the seller to get the password and I have no DVD to boot from.
    Thanks
    Garry

    Király wrote:
    V.K. is exactly right; if the seller advertised this Mac as including Leopard, and then gave you no install disc, then you were defrauded. Contact him and ask for the disc, or ask him to refund some of the money so you can obtain a new set.
    An additional thing to consider: When acquiring a used Mac, there's no telling what sort of hacks, security holes, pirated software, password sniffers, or other even riskier junk that may have been left on it by any previous users. A complete reformat and reinstall from the original install discs is the only prudent thing to do with a used Mac. I don't even hook a used Mac up to the internet until after a fresh reformat and reinstall. Anything less is a Very High Security Risk™.
    +1 on all of that. I would never even consider running a second hand mac without doing an erase and install.

    i have a blackberry 9300 curve and also installed with blackberry protect, today i did a complete wipe of memory of the phone and data with it but did take backup before doing that. 
    the problem i have is when i reinstalled my device accidently i did another back up.and then when i went to the blackberry protect site i saw the new backup which was empty i could also see my earlier back up which has all my contacts and other details but i am not able to back up that.
    Can any one plz help me out on this. 
    Hello,
    Refer:
    KB31489 BlackBerry Protect for BlackBerry smartphones does not display any backup files to restore
    As this thread documents, using only BBProtect as your backup strategy is insufficient and risky. Done incorrectly, you can completely wipe out the backups you have on the BB servers. If that happens, there is no way to retrieve them...once gone, gone for good.
    Good luck!

  • HT4314 Can you have multiply Game Center accounts on one apple id

    Can you have multiply Game Center accounts on your apple id

    After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
    Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
    1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
    2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
    3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
    4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
    So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
