Hi kingwm,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What email account are you using? In Mavericks, if you look in your Applications folder, in a subfolder called Utilities, you will find the Keychain Access application.
The main keychain is called the "login keychain" and it is the one created for your main User account. Select the passwords category on the left, and look for your mail application. Double-click on the mail application and click in the "Show password" box. You'll have to enter your User admin password (the one you use when you turn the computer on) to see the password.
If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to go to your email service provider's website, reset your email password and then update the settings in both computers and any iOS devices you have.

Ios7 parental controls password reset

How do I iOS 7 parental controls password reset or view?

I found this on the web and helped me edit an file and reset it to a passcode I could remember. These instructions are for more advance people with some understanding of programming and remember you do this at your own risk. Please don't blame me or anyone else for "bricking" iPhone or iPad if you do it wrong. Here are the instructions:
Download iBackupBot
Connect iPhone/iPod/iPad via USB
Backup device to iTunes
Close iTunes (leave your device plugged in to your computer)
Open iBackupBot - this will open all device backups that it can find
Select your backup from the left column
Sort right hand pane by Path and locate "Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist" (there may be two files named this; try them both) and double-click to open
Extracted it (and only it) to the desktop. Do this by Checkmark the file, then select the Extract Icon (or File - Export menu), then select the checkbox that says only that file and the other checkbox that says something about Info about the file. Two files will appear on your desktop - one ending in plist and the other ending in .info.
Edit com.apple.springboard.plist with you favourite plist editor (e.g. Xcode)
Look for and change the string for "SBParentalControlsFailedAttempts" to 0
Add in<key>SBParentalControlsPIN</key> <string>1234</string>
after
<dict> <key>countryCode</key> <string>us</string> </dict>
Save your changes, and return to iBackupBot
Import the modified plist. It is now in the backup!
Exit iBackupBot
Open iTunes and use Restore Backup to your device
After restore is done and phone restarts the password should be 1234.

You will have to restore the iPhone as new (and erase everything on it) to reset it.
-> iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
"3. Tap Enable Restrictions and enter a passcode. The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it."

How do I recover a forgotten parental control password on ipod touch

how can I recover a forgotten parental control password for ipod touch 4?

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Does upgrading to iOS 4.2 reset the Parent Control password?

A month or two ago, I updated my son's iPod Touch 3G from version 4.1 to version 4.2 via my computer (not his).
Sometime later, I discovered that my son had set the Parent Control password to something completely different, and all of the parent controls had been turned off.
My son claims that the update had reset the password, and he set it to a different password, which he did give to me when I discovered the change. (I won't go into his excuse for setting a new password.)
I am suspicious. I have not found any evidence on the web of parent controls being reset by an upgrade, and I think it would be poor design to have an upgrade reset the parent control password.
So, if you upgrade an iPod Touch on a computer which is not its primary computer, does the password and parent control settings get reset?
Further info:
When upgrading his iPod Touch, I did not sync it to my computer. After the upgrade, all his settings (Mail, apps, etc.) were still working. I have my own iPod Touch that I do sync to my computer, and it has no parent control settings enabled, nor a parental control password. I keep my iPod Touch at version 3.1.3, for development purposes. I'm running 10.6.5, iTunes 10.
Please answer only if you know (e.g., you've tested this) or if you have a conjecture as to why this might indeed happen. I'm not in the mood for any parenting lessons.
Thanks!
Henry

You are absolutely correct. A simply update to the latest version of iOS will not restore the device to factory settings. If you did the update yourself, at the end of the installation you would have been presented with an option to restore from backup or setup as a new device. Of course you would have chosen to restore from backup because you say that all email and apps were exactly as before. The restrictions are carried over exactly as before when you restore from backup, including the restrictions passcode and any settings you had selected.
The only conclusion (if the sequence above is correct) that can be made is that someone intentionally restored the device to factory settings after the upgrade and then setup a new restrictions passcode.
Having said that, these statements in your description are contradicting each other:
- I updated my son's iPod Touch 3G from version 4.1 to version 4.2 via my computer (not his).
- When upgrading his iPod Touch, I did not sync it to my computer
How exactly the upgrade happened could tell you if you made a simple mistake or if he or someone else intentionally restored the device.

You are going to need to go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve your iCloud/Apple ID. Once you know your ID, you can log onto Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to answer the Security Questions you will need to answer. If you don't remember the answers, you will have to contact Apple Support to have them reset: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
