I can't remember the password for my administrator account!!

I can't remember the password to the administrator account on my laptop. I don't have a recovery disk either. How can I reset my password? I don't care if I have to do a complete reboot and lose any info.

Hi,
You should be able to do this without losing any data - try using a password reset utility such as the free application on the link below.

Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore.

You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

HT204291 I can't remember the password for my airport utility speakers and it doesn't offer the option to re-set the password.

To play my I Tunes through my hi fi speakers, Airport utility is asking for a password that I don't know and it doesn't offer the possibility of changing the password. How do I do this?
Thank you,
Yogi Tracy

In order to reset the password on an Airport or Airport Express, you need to do a factory reset on the device. You should be able to find that information in the manual.

I'm trying to restore my 3GS but can't remember the password, I don't want to do a complete restore as I'll lose all my data. HELP!!

I'm trying to restore my 3GS from a previous back-up point on my PC, but I can't remember the password and if I wrote it down I can't find it. I don't want to do a complete factory restore as I'll lose all my data (phone numbers etc) and I still won't be able to access the restore data. Can anyone help?

If you forgot the passcode for the lock screen, follow this article, connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore and restore: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If you can't remember the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
iTunes: About iOS backups
iTunes and encrypted backups
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

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