HT4993 how do reset my password if I don't know it?

how do i reset my password if i dont know it?

Hello sydney0321,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
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 turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

    how do I reset my password if I don't know it ?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • TS2446 I keep getting an error ,message when I try n buy or update apps. The message says apple ID disabled. I've reset my password. I don't know what to do!!!

    Please help me with figuring out why I keep getting the error message apple iD disabled.
    Thanks

    If having reset your password it now works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
    If it doesn't work on your computer nor phone then you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Hi guys somehow I can't reset my IPad  and I cat update to7,0,4 sum thing like that also ugh I have a message On sitting it says to update 
    Thank you

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • How to reset master password?

    Hi Experts,
    I have installed NW CE 7.1 and NWDS 7.1. It got installed successfully. During installation it asked me for the master password that will be used for all users. I have provided the password as "password1". But now it is not working for any of the users when I try to login. I tried with users "j2ee_admin" and "SAP*".
    Please help me to figure out what could be the problem. Or how to reset the password.
    Thanks in advance.

    JustAnswer has asked me to answer your question -- "Apple TV: how to reset WiFi password. I do not recall the original PW am hitting a brickwall and I am ready to jump off!  Please advise- many thanks

    1)Your going to have to go to the manufacture's website for the orginal password. Once you have that you will have to setup you network again.
    2)After your network is setup again you will go to general setting menu on the ATV. Select the Network option then Configure Wifi option. It will take a momment and load all the WIFI networks in you area.  Once you selected your network, it will prompt you to enter the password.
