If You Havent Set A Password Ever, Try "0000" Since That Is Apple's Default Passcode.
If That Doesnt Work, Contact BestBuy Again And Tell Them ABout It.

If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
From iTunes: About iOS 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.

I want to upgrade my Adobe Flash player and its asking for a password.

I want to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player but its asking for a password and I cannot remember setting one when I first downloaded Adobe Flash. What to do?

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
Clinton

I bought a iphone 4 used from a store, ad to retore it on my computer just now due to it not starting back uo its asking for the orginal owners apple id and i have no clue who that is.. i have had the phone for a few months now what i can do ?

I bought a iphone 4 a few months ago, used from a store .. i had to currently restore and update my phone today due to it saying connect to itunes it wouldnt do anything else so i did other wise, now my phone turns on but wont go past the apple id and the orginal owner still had there apple account in the phone and its asking for that account to actiavte the phone again and not mine , im stuck and dont no what to do i just want my phone to turn on again
please help !
thanks !!!

You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

HT202213 ok i am using an interface how do i get through the AirPlay its asking for a password

i keep getting Airplay Device password i am using an interface how do i get past that

That's the only way it would be asking for a password
Not sure how you could miss the option as it's right there, but I have taken some shots so you can see.

I can't sign into my different iCloud account to update iPhoto! it will only let me use my dads old one and asks for the password. help!?

I am signed into my apple id account. When I go to update iPhoto, it asks to sign into my dad's old account in order to update. It will not let me change the apple id to mine, it only asks for the password which is impossible to get a hold of. Literally. Help?!

That would be because the licensed copy of iPhoto on your Mac belongs to your father. Only he can update the app. Was this once his Mac?

HT201269 My 4s wont restore from the backup on my pc, its asking for a password and my itunes password wont work .... I have not submitted any others ?? please help!

I have today replaced my 4s with a new one - having backed up my old one to itunes only this afternoon. It refuses to restore from backup and is asking me for a password... my itunes password isnt working, and yet i have not entered any others.. does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi..
It's asking for your admin password, not your Apple ID and password.
If you can't remember the password ..
Your new Mac is running v10.7 Lion so there are two ways to reset the admin password.
Here > Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password
or here > OS X Lion: Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password

HT1766 i had to upgrade my software on my I phone and once completed, my phone was wiped out, it tried to restore my info from my backup but now its asking for a password. I've tried every password I've ever had, but nothing is working?

Where would i find out what the password was set to?

Your backup became encrypted. Keep trying various passwords but unless you successfully enter the correct password, you will not be able to restore your phone from that backup

HT5661 I restored my phone now its asking for the original apple id that was used to set up phone. myself and the previous owner want to nknow is there a was to get it or can apple delete it.

Can not find original apple id to restore my iphone 4s help.

If you know the apple id login it's possible for you to be able to reset the password to this apple id by going to:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
This will give you the opportunity to reset your password that is once again if you know the name of the apple id.
There will be significant identify verification required.
Good luck.

My old flat mate, downloaded the Lion in my mac and now its asking for a password. I tried to factory restart my laptop however no luck!!! can anyone help me please

can anyone please help me?
I can't do anything with my laptop at the moment

That's not a password, it's your Apple ID. The same one you use to log onto this site or the App Store.

TS3276 I cannot send mail. the server keeps asking for my password/user id for IMAP

Is there a way to have no passwords for either e-mail accounts.
Why am I continuously prompted for my IMAP and I do not know what that password is.

Who is the provider of this email account? It can be very hard to distinguish between a PW prompt instigated by the Incoming server vs the Outgoing server. What are the recommended ports to use for each from this provider?
