I don't have a password but the computer keeps asking for one

I just got my macbook pro and am trying to download some applications like java but my computer is asking me for a password and I never set one up so I'm really confused on what to do. I've tried my apple ID password.

You did setup an Admin account I hope?
If no one else has access to the op computer or they are the only ones in their household, there is no need for a log in password.
Don't agree with you there, portables usually leave the house.
And you should never ever leave it alone. I take mine out of the home all the time. Never leaves my sight....only when inside my carrying bag which is on my body. Most of all, no one touches it. Better not breath on it either!
In all my years of using "personal" computers, I have never set up a password. Then again, maybe I should since the location of Jimmy Hoffa's body is buried deep inside my hard drive.

I have updated my username and password, but the system keeps asking for my password for an old email for which I have no password.. How can I fix this?

Are you signed into this old ID ("email") in System Preferences>iCloud, System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars), or in Mail>Accounts, Calendar>Accounts or Contacts>Accounts?

I cannot hook to my wifi it shows it but will not allow me to hook to it. I have a password but it does not ask for the password just tells me to dismiss

My I phone 4 will not hook to my wifi. All it says is cannot connect to netgear then dismiss. I have a pssword but it does not ask for it Thanks

Well, what exactly isn't working? Do you get any errors? What system are you on? As a start, check this:
Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual

I did not forget my master password - but the app kept asking for it

I am not editing the question although your website seems not to "understand it" - I wrote it down and so far the application (?) has not offered to remember anything.
There was a time before I installed Version 12 - when I was ASKED if I wanted it to remember - all the device asks for is my master password
I am recently become a user of FF12 and I have also Personas and the Personas Manager - but that fails sometimes to work and it does not change the picture - then I have to SIGN in ALL over again
Any advice would be welcomed and gratefully received

If you create a master password, each time you start Firefox, it will ask you to enter the password the first time it needs to access a certificate or stored password (copied from [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Options+window+-+Security+panel#w_passwords Passwords - Use a master password] )
thank you

HT1687 No password but it continues to ask for one

Whenever my husband uses his new iphone 5 to check his voicemail he is asked for a password. He doesn't have one and we found we can just click "cancel". But it continues to show up every time. It's annoying. Anyway to make it stop?

I think i found the answer. You are supposed to go to settings, phone, then voice mail. It should give a few options.
If not contact your carrier

My laptop running XP sp3 and FireFox 3.6 died. I salvaged the HD and put it in a drive enclosure. I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact).

My laptop running XP sp3 and FireFox 3.6 died. I salvaged the HD and put it in a drive enclosure. I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact). I have not been able to determine how to import these favorites from the old HD to the new machine. I haven't found any FAQ that addresses this since I can't really start Firefox on the old HD in order to make a HTML backup. Any ideas? edit

I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are.

I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are, as I am using the exact same ID right now.
I have switched my password in the past, so my theory is my mac mini thinks that my password has not changed and it will not update because The Wi-Fi password has also changed so it cannot connect to any servers...Does that sound like I am on the right track?
Is there a way to update my Wi-Fi password (saved into the computer) without logging on?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.

HT204053 I have an iTunes (Apple) id but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in...

I have an iTunes (Apple) id that works fine but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in and then says that the password is incorrect when I know it isn't. Have tried a password reset that works for everything else (App Store, iTunes etc) but iCloud still won't accept it. Any ideas?

You would have to access http://appleid.apple.com to find the email address but as you've reset the password you can't get into that. You will have to contact Support: the iTunes Store is probably the best place to start. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column.

Hi bodeboni!
You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

My ipod is rejecting the correct screen lock to unlock the ipod. I have restored it but it is still asking for a passcode. How can I enter my ipod?

Place your device into recovery mode and then restore.
See here:

Also set your iPod up as a new device, rather that restoring from a previous backup.
Note: All user content on the device will be erased.

I am trying to export a pdf to word but the document keeps "loading " for a long period of time and won't complete?

I am trying to export a pdf to word but the document keeps "loading " for a long period of time and won't complete?

Hi Jennee,
You're using the Save As > Microsoft Word command in Acrobat (and what version are you using)? At what point does the status bar in the lower-right corner hang up (Pre-processing, Recontructing, and so on)? What type of content is there in the PDF, and how large is it? Are you having Acrobat run OCR on the file as it converts (you can check this by clicking Settings in the Save As dialog box)? Do you have trouble saving other PDF files as Word documents?
A lot of questions, I know. But I need to know a bit more about the document to determine why it's hanging up on export.
Thanks
Sara

I have an iPhone 6. I am signed in to iTunes with my Apple ID. I am updating apps and the phone keeps asking for my wife's Apple ID.

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
