I am not able to log into my computer because I can't remember my password

  • I forgot the sign-in screen password to my Mac G4

    I forgot the sign-in screen password to my Mac G4.  I had some repair work done on my Power Mac G4 about a year ago.  The company that di the repairs won't return my calls.  I'm trying to sign in on the start screen, but can't remember my password.  Is there a way to override this and reset my password without losing any data?

  • I forgot my digital signature password. How do I create a new one with the same email.

    I can not remember my digital signature password. I've attempted to create a new one with the same email address. The message I receive is that i already have a digital signature with that email. I would like to use the same email address.

    You probably mean that you forgot your digital certificate password and I presume that this is a self-signed certificate that you yourself created, not a certificate that you received from a Certificate Authority (CA). If this is true then you can create a new self-signed digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak) the same way you created the first one: In Acrobat XI it is Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More. Then click on "Add ID" button and follow the prompts. You can create as many self-signed certificates with the same credentials (name, email, etc.) as you wish. You'd have to figure out how to distinguish them, though.

  • I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I Accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. Now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    hello i forgot my i cloud password..anyone can help me to find my password.i already make a new apple id..but my icloud use another account..so how to reset my iCloud account plz hel me

    Making a new Apple ID is not a good idea, since you have to reset the password for that Apple ID anyway. All of your purchases are tied to the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under. So, you have to retrieve the password for that Apple ID in order to sign into iCloud anyway.
    Go to Manage your Apple ID, and click on the Reset Password option (Apple - My Apple ID). Sign on with the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under, and answer the security questions. If you do not remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to have them reset:

  • Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

    You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
    Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

  • Forgot to sign out of old id and changed icloud email address and cant sign out of find my phone

    I have a iphone 4s and changed icloud email address and forgot to sign out of find my phone. How can I turn it off to change to the new email address that I changed in icloud?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I forgot to sign out my apple id

    i forgot to sign out my apple id from iTunes this thing i have done 4 time so now i want to know how to regain this option

    OK, so just to make sure - you went into Manage your Apple ID, and changed your old Apple ID to the one you currently have. But that old ID is still signed onto iCloud. Right?
    If that is right, then this is what you need to do:
    1.     Sign back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do not Verify it - just press Done when it has been changed):
    Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     On your device go to Settings>iCloud, scroll down to the bottom and Delete the iCloud account from your device. Use your current Apple ID password. Don't worry about the warning messages. As long as you have been syncing to iCloud, everything will redownload once you sign back in.
    3.     Once the iCloud account has been deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new one (you may need to verify that one again).
    4.     Go back into your device under Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID.
    You should be all set!

  • HT201365 I forgot my apple id password and now i cant activate my ipad (4th generation) and i cant reset it ..

    My young sister made an icloud account on my ipad and we didnt use it for months ..
    Now when i tryed to reset it it seems like i need the apple id password that my sister used to activate it .
    But the problem is that she forgot the password .
    Any help? I can prove that this ipad is mine and i bought it .

    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    Regardless of whether or not you purchased the iPad, the Apple ID is linked ot your sister's account.
    You can sign in using your Apple ID and password on the iPad, but all content downloaded using her Apple ID will be deleted.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

    I bought iPad and I can not access, A message appears asking me account and password when i return to the person who I purchased it from him, he told me that he forgot the account and password
    I want a solution to the problem, because in this way I will not benefit from the iPad

    There is no solution.  You have to provide the ID and password.  There is no way around it.  If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

  • I forgot to setup a password for my encrypted backup using iTunes

    I was trying to back up my iphone4 using encrypted backup, but i forgot to setup a password. Now, i am trying to restore my iphone from this encrypted backup, but i don't know the password. I did not setup a password, is there a default password ?

    The backup encryption passcode has nothing to do with locking a user out of their backup.
    If the encryption passcode has been forgotten, nothing can be done.  There is no reset for the encryption passcode.
    Delete the backup and create a new one.
