I can't remember the passcode for my Mac Book

I can't remember the password for my MacBook. Ver frustrated, especially today of all days. Please help.

You could try & reset the Admin password as said here:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101
or:

And if computer has SL 10.6.8, or before see different info page.

If the password in question is a Firmware admin password that is more complex:

Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT1349 my kid's ipod is disabled as he can't remember the passcode for it - what can he do?

my kid can't remember the passcode he set for his ipod - it is quite an old one - the message on screen is "ipod is disabled connect to itunes " but when I connect to itunes it says thatitunes cannot connect to the administator's ipod because it is locked with a passcode so I have to enter the passcode before it can be used with itunes - can anyone advise on this chicken and egg dilemma? Thanks

When connected to iTunes, put it in Recovery Mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

I can't remember my passcode for my Iphone and it is disabled. How can I fix this? I also plug phone into itunes and it says phone is locked due to wrong passcode.

Follow the instructions in the procedure above to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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 turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

Connect your phone to your syncing computer and run iTunes. Then restore your phone. Hopefully you'll remember your Apple ID and password.
