I cannot enter my password to enter my mac

Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me with this... I recently installed an ssd and reinstalled osx. following a restore of my whole system from my time machine, i was asked to log in using my apple id which brought me to my user log in screen however my password is now incorrect? there is a prompt to use my apple id to reset password but the arrow to go to the reset screen doesn't do anything??
If anyone can help that would be great,
thanks
Gavin

Once I get into recovery mode, do I go through the migration set up process? Should I be logged out of my account on the old macbook before I set up the new one? I really thought I knew what I was doing but am seriously confused now.
Thank you.

  • Yosemite crashes on gray screen after I enter my password

    I’m having serious problems with my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) since I upgraded to Yosemite. However I am not entirely sure that it is because of Yosemite. Here is a description of what happens:
    I turn on my Mac
    The Apple logo briefly appears and then the two user account avatars are shown (me and Guest)
    I click on my user account and it takes me to a new screen where I enter my password
    I enter my password and there is now a progress bar (which is as slow as mass) underneath my user avatar
    Once the progress bar is finished loading I’m taken to a blank gray screen
    Nothing happens only I look at this gray screen for ages and eventually my Mac just shuts itself down and restarts
    I cannot boot in Safe Mode
    I cannot boot in Recovery Mode
    I did manage to reset the PRAM but I was still getting the same behaviour that I described above
    I also recently had the mother board changed by some Apple “Genius” as I was having problems with the computer shutting itself down while using it, screen freezing and weird graphics behaviour but this seems to be fixed now. I also ran an Apple Hardware Test and it returned no problems.
    My Mac starts up every now and then (I’m actually writing this post on my Mac now) but the majority of the time I have the same problem time and time again. Does anybody have similar problems.
    Can somebody please help me before I totally go off Apple products.
    Thanks :-)

  • EVERY SINGLE TIME: i purchase something and it i enter my password right? afterwards, stupid itunes keeps on popping the screen up again for me to enter my password. i would enter it over ten time and it would pop up again. i cant even access my account.

    ok, so i've been having this trouble for a long time. i purchase something on itunes right? it asks for my password right? i enter it, but the screen keeps on popping up again and again prompting me to enter my password. i enter it again, it dissapears and it pops up again a few seconds later. the purchase doesn't even go through and i can't even access my acount because of this... HELP PLZZ!!

    Hi, this is possibly a pain, as I experienced the same situation.  Hope you have better results.  It is fixable though....  You have keychain issues, of that I'm very sure, but the problem is fixing them.  For me, it took hours on the phone, with multiple Apple agents to fix.Sadly, they don't all have the same expertise.  Try to get your call elevated to a superior for best results and be persistent.
    Good luck.

  • During initial setup of mac pro, used pc to mac transfer, after transfer mac requires new password to enter account but will not accpt password

    During the initial setup of mac book pro, I did the pc to mac transfer. After transfer was complete, mac had two user accounts aspen pc machine? and dell. Upon trying to access either, the mac says I have to enter new password to enter. It will not accept new password. What do I do?

    Well....I bit the bullet and called Apple tech support this morning and agreed to pay my $49 for the tech support. I ended up talking to a Boot Camp specialist. In the end his position was that "they didn't support Windows" and my particular problem was a "Windows problem". I countered with the fact that they advertise that one of their selling points was that Windows could run on an Intel Mac and that I ought to at least be able to install Windows. They said that most people were able to install Windows with no problems. I agreed, but told them that, after searching the Internet, I had read numerous posts from folks that had the same problem and that Apple really should address it. They were very polite and even agreed not to charge me the $49, but their final position was that it was a "Windows problem."
    I guess that at this point I'll try to return the Windows disk to Amazon and see if they'll give me a replacement.

  • My iphone 4s continually asks me to enter the password to sign in to App store

    My Iphone 4s continually asks me to enter my password to enter the app store.

    Thanks Michael
    It has helped as I have found an area of the settings i was not famlier with. In fact restrictions are in the off position.
    The problem began when I lost my Apple ID, after I set the new one, i had the "sign in" screen asking me to enter my password to go into the App store.
    Thanks anyway

    I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
    I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
    So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!

  • Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:  FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

    Dear Community,
    Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
    FaceTime Password
    Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
    It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
     I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system. 
    Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
    TIA,
    GonzoBernelli

    That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
    It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

    try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

  • Cannot enter vm password

    Since upgrading to 2.0 I cannot enter my voicemail password. It keeps asking for it but only gives me the keypad for the phone. Not the normal alpha numeric keypad. Any ideas?

    Here's how to approach this one.
    1. Tap Settings > WiFi > Other network
    2. Enter the name of the network you are trying to log onto
    3. Tap Security and tell the iPod what type of security the network is using
    4. Tap Password and enter the network password
    If this still doesn't work, reset your network settings (tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings and try the steps above again once the iPod restarts.
    If you don't know what type of security is being used by the network, ask the owner before you try to log in. WEP encryption and the iPod have a love-hate relationship so if you still have problems, do write back.
