How to reset your Apple ID password. Scam?? Phish??

The following message has been sent to me 4 times in the last 3 weeks. I have not responded, clicked thru but i have tried to report it to Apple. I have looked at the header and I see the word "apple" in there but the rest is a lot of nonsense to me. I have made no changes to my Apple ID or done anything that would prompt this message. Is someone trying to Phish me or is Apple doing random checks???

If you weren't trying to reset your password, don't worry — your account is still secure and no one has been given access to it. Most likely, someone just mistyped their email address while trying to reset their own password.
Thanks,

I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

I wouldn't be too concerned. The most likely cause is that someone is attempting to login and made a mistake in entering their Apple ID and typing yours instead. So, they are getting an error and offer to reset their password. But the email that generates is being sent to the real owner of the Apple ID they are entering, you. If you are really concerned, you can go to the Apple support site and reset your password yourself to be on the safe side.

I received an email from Apple telling me how to reset my Apple ID password but I know I didn't request it. Anyone else? Suggestions? Should I just ignore it?

Did the email contain your name? Never click on a link in an email like that and do no enter any personal info after clicking in an email.
There have been quite a few people getting these emails. They are a phishing attempt to get your personal info.

How to reset the Apple ID password when the emails are not received and the security questions not right?

My foolish husband put his apple password on a website. Apple has suspended his account. He is not getting the reset password emails and the security questions are not the ones he used. We live in Malawi where there is no phone support access. How can he contact apple by chat or email (through a different account) to start getting his emails back?

How to reset my apple id password if i never received the email from system?

i forget my apple id password and tried to reset it by email, but i never received the email from the system, how can i do??

If you haven't received the email, and you've checked the spam folder on the account (if you have a rescue email address on your iTunes account then you've checked that email account as well ?) and tried requesting the email again, then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

I am getting a "how to reset your Apple ID" email over 25 times a day. It's been doing this for multiple days, and it's really irritating me. How do I stop it?

This is really irritating, and blocking the email would not help, as I may need to reset my ID.
But, I'm getting one of these emails every single minute...

Why was I sent an email about resetting my apple ID password?

I updated some apps on my iPad and suddenly there was an email in my box called HOW TO RESET YOUR APPLE ID PASSWORD. Why?

Dunno for sure, but don't click any links in that mail.
Go to your computer (if you have itunes on your computer) and log into iTunes that way. It'll tell you if you need to change things.

How do you find out what your Apple ID password is?

A friend of mine forgot their Apple ID password and can't log in. They also don't have access to their email, but that's not the issue. He wants to know how you find out what your current Apple ID password is. He awnsered his security questions but all it would let him do is reset his password, without finding out what his current one is. How do you find out your Apple ID password?

You can't recover a password, only change it. The reason for this is that Apple has changed their conditions for passwords. They now need to have one upper case letter, 1 number, and be at least 8 characters. Also you cannot use any password you have previously used in the last year.

Hi kmkrodel,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues accessing iCloud on your Mac or iPad after a change in your Apple ID password, you may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: Account troubleshooting
On the other hand, if you are talking about sharing files from your Mac to specific apps on your iPad via iTunes, then this article may be of more use (Note: When using this function, you will only see apps that support file sharing, not all apps on the device):
iOS: About File Sharing
