HT4798 Resetting password via Apple ID (fail)

Macbook 2010ish. I am changing my password via the Apple ID reset option, which I enabled. It's failing after I go through the process to change it (even to 1234 so I know there is no typo).
10.7.2
I gave this laptop to my daughter and she can login, but I now need to access a few files I left on the machine. I cannot access my account. I made my daughter an administrator and I am also an administrator. I can see that I assigned my account my Apple ID. When I try and login, I choose to reset using the Apple ID. If I enter my Apple ID successfully, I get a screen to reset my password. I reset it to 1234 or 123456 or abCd123& -- whatever. Everything fails once I submit it.
I just need 6 files I worked on last summer (outlines) for a class I start teaching again this summer. Help!
When I am logged in as my daughter, I can visit the Users & Groups and see my account. I have an option to change my daughter's password, but this same option is not available on my account. I checked, "Allow user to reset password using Apple ID" and "Allow user to adminster this computer." I also made sure the Apple ID listed here is the same one I have and use. But I have yet to get this to work when trying to login.

I updated to 10.7.4 hoping that would help. Nope.
As soon as I try and reset the password by using the Master Password or my Apple ID, it fails (wiggles to show it failed). What could be rejecting these password changing attempts?

    If you can't reset your password by answering your security questions on http://iforgot.apple.com, and you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on your email account (and the rescue email address if you have one on your account), then contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset it (and your security questions if you can't remember their answers).

  • HT4798 My password for the apple Id is somehow incorrect. But I try the same password on my iPhone App Store. How can I reset password using apple id?

    I tried to reset my password using apple Id method, but the password I typed is incorrect. I'm sure that that's the right password because I use that ID for downloading apps from my iPhone every time. So what's wrong? That's my only way I can reset my password because I forgot my master password.:(

    Hi Davehov,
    What iOS is the phone running? If it is iOS 7, then as ramzee209 indicated, you must contact the seller to get any further.
    If it is running an earlier iOS, you can hook it up to the computer where you iTunes library is located, and restore it:
    Place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • After resetting password via 10.4 disk, I still need a password to load software

    Hello There!
    I am in quite of a bind, as I've tried to reset my password via the OSX 10.4 installation disks, but since I've upgraded to 10.6, I'm still required to type in a password of which I've long since have forgotten in order to load software necessary to transfer my *.jpg files to an external HDD.
    Any and all help with regard to this matter shall be greatly appreciated, as I am in a major quandry to save my iPhoto images! (I need to load some software to save this precious data on an external HDD)...
    Kindest Regards,
    David

    Thanks!
    The more I thought about it, the more this makes sense, as I have upgraded my OSX from the initial version.
    Again, thanks for our input!

  • Unlock User and Reset Password via DB

    Hi,
    I've a SAP FI running on Oracle. I have the SAP ID but no password.
    I've the access to the Oracle DB. How do I unlock the ID and reset the password via the DB.
    Please advise.
    TIA !
    Desmond

    Hi Desmond,
    You can unlock SAP user id from DB level, but there is no way you can reset password for SAP user id from DB level.
    Below is the command for unlocking user id from DB level.
    Connect to orasid.
    sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    SQL>update sapr3.user02 set uflag=0 where bname='userid' and mandt='<clientno>'; -- for older SAP versions
    From ECC 5
    SQL>update sap<SID>.user02 set uflag=0 where bname='userid' and mandt='<clientno>';
    Thanks,

  • Reset password via OPSS?

    ADF 11gR1 PS1
    Hi,
    I've got user security managed via OPSS APIs (a la Josh Bregman's sample app http://fusionsecurity.blogspot.com/2009/07/opss-sample-application.html ) which is great as it allows some basic user profile management.
    With regards to setting/resetting passwords, the APIs only allow the initially setting of a password for a newly created user via
    oracle.security.idm.User createUser(java.lang.String p1, char[ ] p2, oracle.security.idm.PropertySet p3), where p2 = password, or changing the password when you already know the old password (like password expiration) via oracle.security.idm.UserProfile.setPassword(char[] p1, char[] p2) where p1 = oldpassword, p2=newpassword.
    If the user forgets their password, there's no method that allows me to retrieve the old password, or provide a new password without knowing the old one.
    I really rather not drop and recreate the user.
    Ideas?

    Hi,
    the question is if the identity management system provides you the password in clear text. Usually it is considered best practices to not expose the password in clear text. Systems that do this usually use RDBMS tabes to keep track of users, which is what you could do with the RDBMS authentication providers. Since OPSS works with the integrated LDAP server (as far as changing passwords goes) you may want to explore directly accessing the integrated LDAP server. Instead of reading the password, I would suggest to reset it to a new value that the user then can change using the OPSS APIs
    However, this forum is not the right one to ask OPSS specific questions (the forum title sys JDeveloper and ADF), so try
    WebLogic Server - Security

  • Can't reset password for apple ID I use for iCloud because email is no longer in use and cite refuses to accept answer to security question. What do I do?

    I can't reset the password for the apple id I use for iCloud because the associated email address is no longer in use and the site does not accept my answer to the security question. What should I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your account/security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • ITunes will not accept my Apple ID and Password via Apple TV

    Hi there. My Apple ID and Password work perfectly well on my computer and allows access to the iTunes store. However, when I try logging into the iTunes store to rent a movie on my Apple TV it keeps on saying Apple ID or password not recognised (or words to that effect). Any ideas anyone. It's been like this for ages and is driving me nuts! (I updated the Apple TV software today).
    Thank you.
    Graham

    I seem to remember seeing something similar when I first connected mine. My userid/pwd were constantly rejected when I tried to rent a movie, and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to work. However when I reentered the exact same details under the ATV settings menu and then went back to rent the movie it was fine, and has been ever since. Am not in front of the unit so I can't remember which option it was under the settings menu but it was pretty obvious...

  • Blackberry ID - forgot password, forgot password recovery info, exceeded login attempts, why can't BB send me email to reset password.

    THE ISSUES ARE:
    1. FORGOT PASSWORD
    2. FORGOT PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO
    3. EXCEEDED ATTEMPTS TO LOGIN
    I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES FORUM PROBLEMS THAT ARE THE SAME. WHEN I FOLLOWED LINKS THAT SUPPORT GAVE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. 
    What I need is simply this: Blackberry to send me a RESET PASSWORD link to the email I have registered with Blackberry WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO. This will enable me to bypass unknown recovery password info and access my Blackberry ID account. 
    Why haven't I been able to find a solution to fix the problem?
    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO EXIST........ ANYWHERE..... EVEN ON YOUTUBE BLACKBERRY ARE RUNNING AN OUT OF DATE SOLUTION CENTRE.
    When looked online to Blackberry youtube video it shows a solution that doesn't exist! WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS UPLOADED IN 2011. DUH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvdRb4qNG1M
    If I can't remember my password or recovery password info there is NO other option available that will send me a reset password via email so I can keep my current BB ID. 
    KB34776 - does not apply because you HAVE TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER YOUR RECOVERY PASSWORD!
    CHECKED THIS OUT... 
    Workaround
    If the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten but the answer to the password recovery question is known, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
    If the BlackBerry smartphone user knows the email address used for the BlackBerry ID login but is unable to remember the associated password then it is possible to reset the password using the steps below:
    Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow.
    To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, log in to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field.  For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow KB34137.
    Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook: http://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword
    Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and the CAPTCHA characters, then clickSubmit.
    Enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, then click OK.
    Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
    A confirmation message will be displayed A password reset email has been sent to [email protected], at which point, a reset email will be delivered to the associated email address inbox.
    Log in to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
    Locate the password reset email and select the Change your BlackBerry ID password link.
    Note: The BlackBerry ID reset email will come from [email protected]. If the email is not found in the inbox, check the mailbox's Spam or Junk folder.
    When the password reset page loads, enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, enter the New Password, Confirm Password, then click Submit.
    A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
    Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
     If the BlackBerry smartphone user does not know the email or password that was used for the BlackBerry ID, the BlackBerry ID will be locked out after 10 unsuccessful login attempts. See KB24157 for BlackBerry ID lockout behavior.
    THEN CHECKED KB24157......
    Overview
    BlackBerry ID is the master key to BlackBerry smartphone products, sites, services and applications, including BlackBerry Protect and the BlackBerry App World storefront.
    To prevent unauthorized access to the account, the BlackBerry ID will become locked out after a number of failed attempts. See the information below for an outline on the expected behavior:
    Local Authentication Lockout 
    On BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry smartphones if the user enters their BBID password incorrectly 10 times on the BBID sign in screen, verify password screen, or BBID Edit screens, they are LOCKED OUT of all the following functions on that BlackBerry device for 15 minutes:
    Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the sign in screen
    Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the verify password screen
    Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the BBID edit screens 
    Note: The user can still log in on the web or any other devices associated with their BlackBerry ID. They are only locked out on the device where the 10 incorrect attempts occurred.  On the locked out device, after 15 minutes, they get 1 try to provide the correct password on the sign in and/or verify password screens. If they fail to enter the correct password, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes on that device.
    Account Server Lockout
    Users have total of 10 attempts to enter their password correctly against the BlackBerry ID Account Server.
    The scenarios that increment the Account Server lockout counter are as follows:
    Providing an incorrect password anywhere on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
    Providing an incorrect password within the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on any BlackBerry device or BlackBerry PlayBook
    Note: if a user provides an incorrect password 5 times on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid), and then 5 more times on the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on their BlackBerry PlayBook, the cumulative number of failed attempts is 10. Once the user has made 10 incorrect attempts to provide their password against the Account Server, they are locked out of the Account Server PERMANENTLY until they reset their password.
    See KB26361 for information to reset a BlackBerry ID password
    Note: The Account Server Lockout does NOT prevent the user from local authenticating on devices  (the user can still authenticate on the sign in and verify password screens on their BlackBerry devices).
    Forgot Password Lockout
    If the user answers their Security Question incorrectly 10 times, they are locked out for 15 minutes of Forgot Password functionality on all interfaces such as:
    BlackBerry website (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
    BlackBerry PlayBook
    BlackBerry smartphone
    Note: After 15 minutes, they get 1 try, and if they fail to answer the question correctly, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes.
    THAT DIDN'T WORK SO NOW ITS BACK TO..... KB26361
    Overview
    To change the BlackBerry ID password, complete the steps below for the specific device:

    Enter the new password in the New BlackBerry ID Password and Confirm New Passwordfields.
    Select Submit to complete the password change.

    Also, if the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
    Note: When using the recovery question password reset method, the generated email will be delivered to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone if the BlackBerry ID email address has been setup via Settings >Accounts
    From a computer:
    Visit http://www.bbid.com/ from a PC or BlackBerry smartphone browser.
    Click Log in.
    Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and password, then click Sign In.

    If the password for a BlackBerry ID account has been forgotten and the login is unsuccessful, use the following process to reset the password.
    Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow.  To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, login to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field.  For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow  KB34137.

    Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed. 
    A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
    Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
    Note: If the BlackBerry ID email address is a BlackBerry mail address (e.g. <username>@tmo.blackberry.net), the BlackBerry ID password reset email will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone. Since the BlackBerry mail address is not accessible from a computer, the steps outlined in KB28111 will need to be performed.
    IT ALL LEADS BACK TO THE SAME UNHELPFUL NON-SOLUTION OF USE THE PASSWORD RECOVERY QUESTION.... 
    Can the tech department of Blackberry please sort out this ridiculous unhelpful system by sending customers a direct email if password is forgotten so they can reset without having to go through the above without finding a solution. 
    THANK YOU.

  • How to reset password when don't know password

    On most accounts on the web, there is an option to reset passwords via a email reminder of what the passward is. We need to do some trouble shooting with the ipod on another issue, and we have tried the two passwords we have. How do we recover the correct password? The iTunes one only effects iTunes, not the iPod?
    MC OS X 1.2   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Do you have a screen lock enabled, and you've forgotten the code?
    If so, you'll need to restore the iPod to reset the code.

  • Reset password, still cannot remove admin privledge

    I cannot remove admin privilege from my own account. I've worked through the procedure to Reset Password via the startup disk. However, I am still unable to remove the admin privilege. The account is a generic user account but assigned to a created 'Users' group.
    I'm trying to consolidate all admin privileges to one account, admin, and remove such from any generic user accounts.
    Thank You

    Restart the computer, logged into the new account with admin privileges.
    You go to apple menu, and chose system preferences. System preferences opens, and you click on accounts. Then you click on the lock, and your prompted to type in the password. So you type it in, and click ok. The lock at the bottom right should now be open. Under Other Accounts, click on the other account, the old account, that you don't want to be an admin, And there is a check box labeled "Allow user to Administrate this computer."
    Is the check box checked but grayed out? is it unchecked? do you uncheck it, and but it becomes checked again? Are you getting stuck on a step before this?

  • HT4798 i created my apple id account, verified but know i m unable to log on, it says incorrect password, i tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to my e- mail address, how can i get this sorted or delete my pr

    User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • Can't login to iCloud email, even after resetting the password via iForget. No access in the iCloud website nor in Apple Mail...

    Hi all,
    can't find the solution for this, have already resetted the password via iforget. iCloud site accepts my password but then gives me an error while trying to access my email. In Apple Mail, after updating the password, it still tells me that it is wrong.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Even your problem aroused more than six months ago, let me mention that I am facing similar problem (created another thread where I asked about), I also called Applecare, and they told me I had to wait since aparently the issue was a "server side" issue. What concerns me is the case was "closed" & I am still facing the problem since this morning (case 331263318 )

  • Can't use my apple id account at all! Can't reset password either!!

    I set up an acount from iPad for my family half year ago (it was a gmail)

    I thought I forgot the password so I try to reset the password from apple's site (this page)
    but I never get the reset email from apple
    so I tried varify by answering question, it asked for birthday but the page told me my answer is not correct!! ? Not possible!!!! I know my birthday okay!?
    then I tried to find out what my apple ID is by this page (link)
    and it failed too!!!! it said "No Apple ID found" 
    and I think if the page told me this ID doesn't exist, then I can recreate this account using the same email, so I tried...
    but it said this email is already used by other apple ID!!!!
    what's happening??
    I'm very sure my family use this account for facetime and it was working fine for the pass half year
    how come I can't find any account information on apple's site
    and can't receive any email from apple and can't reset pwd ...etc.
    I don't know what I can do now~
    I really don't want to create another new acount using other email if I can get this account back
    any one can help??
    please save my miserable life..........

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
