HT4718 lion won't accept my password. HELP

Hello
I had to change my hard drive. I reinstalled Snow Leopard with the DVD that came with my Mac Book Pro. Then, I used my time machine to recover all my information. Everything worked just fine. Then when I wrote down my password to log in, it didn't recognized my password. After many times of trying a crossed circle appeared, so I had to erase the HD and do the process all over again. This didn't work because it won't accept the password again.
Is there anything I can do to recover the password or to make it accept it.?
I had the Lion OSX in my time machine.
Please help so I can use my Mac again!!!
Thank you
ADTM

You need the discs that came with your machine, not the one that came with the MBP. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2681 for details. You can get replacement discs for a nominal S&H charge from 1-800-MY_APPLE.

  • Lion won't accept my Screensaver Password

    After a Log Off or the Screensaver has been activated, Lion won't accept my password to get back to the OS. If I click Switch Users and enter (the same) password it logs on without a problem. I've seen other people with the same problem but no answer so far. Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • My email on Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password.

    how can I send email messages if Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password.  It never asked until recently.  Messages are delivered and are readable, but I can't send messages.  I installed iCloud but I think that was after the email began misbehaving.  Thank you for your help.

    I checked the pondini fixes and ended up doing the following - in case this could help someone else with an iMac, OSX Lion, and Time Capsule... http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    First, I downloaded and used Airport Utility 5.6 instead of 6.1 - BTW, I had to attempt download and installation THREE times before the program actually installed.  Be persistant.
    Pondini #5: It's possible some names (of all things!) may be a problem.    See item C9.  I had to re-name my Mac, Time Capsule, network, etc... to remove all apostrophes and spaces.
    Pondini #7:  If you have WD SmartWare installed on Lion, it's not compatible, per RoaringApps, and there are reports it can cause this problem as well.   Use Western Digital's uninstaller, or delete the app from /Applications and the files com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist and com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist from /Library/LaunchDaemons.   There may also be a file in Library/Application Support.
    I then had to shut down computer, unplug Time Capsule, unplug modem; plug everything in again, then reboot computer; then had to go to Apple- System Preferences- Network- and reselect my Time Capsule to connect to WiFi again.
    Then opened Time Machine preferences again and attempted back up - it worked!

  • FaceTime won't accept the password which I wrote down some time ago and doesn't provide a "forgot your password" option. And when I try to create a new account it tells me that my email is already registered. What can I do to revise my password?

  • ITunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?

    iTunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?
    And no matter how many times nor what I change the password to I cannot log in to purchase music.
    Help!

    I tried "resetting" my password, but b****y iTunes just keeps asking me for ANOTHER password, and won't accept the password I want to use! I'm getting mighty fed up with iTunes - I'm a senior citizen, and my memory isn't as sharp as it might have been, so passwords HAVE to be fairly simple and OBVIOUS to me. I can't just keep thinking up new passwords because they are getting more and more irrelevant, and I will NEVER remember them.
    What am I supposed to do now?
    I can't use my iPhone when I'm out of the house, because it won't recognise my new email address and password. I can't use BTFON because it needs my password, which I can't get iTunes to accept.
    I can't get the bloody thing to do anything, and although it cost me £600 when I bought it 2 years ago, I'm not very happy with it any more because I just can't get the thing to do anything.
    HELP!!!!

  • ITunes store won't accept my password

    Just changed ISPs (from Orange Wanadoo to BTInternet. Had the 'engineer' come out and do all the connecting stuff because I ALWAYS get it wrong.
    He said he had connected everything and all would be OK.
    But it isn't.
    I wanted to check email on my iPhone, and it wouldn't. Took my phone to an O2 shop (where I bought it from) and bloke there got it going eventually.
    Back home, I want to download the BTFON app, but when I enter my iTunes password, it is rejected.
    Can't understand what is going on, and getting very, very angry with it because virtually nothing works like it did.
    Can anyone PLEASE tell me what to do to get my iPhone to accept an app download from iTunes?
    Many thanks,
    Bill

  • I'm trying to sync my firefox and it won't accept my password.

    Firefox Sync won't accept my password and when I tried to reset it I keep getting hung up on the "An unexpected error occurred. If this continues, please contact support." response after filling out the "Reset Password" fields. I wan't to sync Firefox for this pc. How can I get around this?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Today: Wednesday 28 July 2010

    I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
    P.S.
    If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

  • IMac running 10.5.8, me email won't accept my password. One day it worked normally, next day it won't and I did not change password. Now I cannot reset the password, almost as if it was changed by someone else. I am the only user of this iMac.

    My email won't accept my password, was working fine, then one day it wasn't. It is almost as if someone else changed the password and now I cannot use my password or change it to a new one. My iMac is running 10.5.8 , using Earthlink and Safari. Any ideas on this problem?

    Are you using the Mail client or Safari to access your email?

    Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
    Best of luck.
