I forgot my sharing password?

I forgot my sharing password between my two MAC laptops. It is not in Keychain. How do I reset?

A Shared library is different than Home Sharing (as you now know).

Forgot File Sharing Password

Okay, little embarrassed about this one. I went to shut the file sharing password off because I could not remember it, and in order to turn this functionality off, you must know the password. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover the password or reset it?

Useless. I forgot the password. I have the PB in my posession. I know my PB password. I should be able to reset the file sharing password that I've forgotten with my PB / BB password and not have to remember the specifiec PB password I've set. Yes, the universal rule is that you should have a PWD that is unguessable, secure, and rememberable (?) but it should also be recoverable. BB seems to have forgotten one of the rules of passwords.
PS - I figured mine out.

Forgot home sharing password

Hi, I forgot my home sharing password and have not been able to find how to reset it. My apple id is fine but no password.

Hello there, geradino.
Your Home Sharing password is directly related to your Apple ID. The following Knowledge Base article explains that a bit more clearly:
iTunes: How to share music and video
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2688
Additionally under "Understanding the differences between Home Sharing and Music Sharing" we read:
Home Sharing requires more setup, but allows you to transfer content to another computer or stream to other devices. It always requires your Apple ID and password to see the library and contents.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Home sharing password

I forgot my home sharing password. I did it a long time ago and cannot remember it. Is there any way I can restore it?
Tks!

Just to clarify, both machines are on the same local network aren't they I.e. Both at your home and connected to the same router?
If I was you I wouldn't use Shared Libraries but instead use Home Sharing. In iTunes go to Preferences and then the Sharing. Uncheck both Share My Library on my local network and also Look for Shared Libraries, and OK this.
Now follow the instructions in the following article on both machines to enable Home Sharing. Use your iTunes Store username and password where prompted.

I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working. I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router. I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either. I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it. I am new to Apple!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

Have a company based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)

i am an IT manager for a bank. we have several company owned iphones. WE have also implemented a mobile device management system to manage our iphones.
We setup acompany based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. This way i can add bank approved apps to the devices through our itunes account and push out to the iphones, and no one can download any other non bank approved apps.
it has been working ok. but recently i had one user who came in. He went to enter in his itunes account on the phone and didn't work. So then came back and my staff and myself have (as much as we can see) removed his email account itunes login from all sections in settings. and entered in our itunes account information, but when you go to the app store, and hit upgrade, it still shows his email account for itunes. I feel like i can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)
How can i troubleshoot his device. i tried changing password 5 times today, rebooted device, and no change.

i have an MDM application, and i push out the apps i want them to have with our IT apple id account. for some reason when two approved apps needed updating last week, they prompted him for our password. (which i told him to bring phone in and i would enter password).
but somehow he went to try to enter his personal to make it work (don't know why)
somewhere it's keeping his personal email. i went into itunes/apps and our apple id is in there.
there is nothing in icloud b/c we do not allow icloud, so that's clear.

He will have to contact Apple and speak to someone in account security if he can't recover it at https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
