I forgot wpa password. How do I find it in "keychain"?

I forgot wpa password. How do I find it in "keychain"? I am trying to establish wireless connection from a Win XP laptop.

To retrieve the password, using the Keychain Access tool:
Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
Double-click on your network name listing.
Click on "Show password."
Enter your Mac's administrator's password
Your wireless network's password should now be displayed.

    Don't just enter usernames and passwords into apps unless you know what it is for and why it wants it.

    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    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 mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) 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.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

    I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
    But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.

    If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

  • HT1349 Forgot my password, how do I get in computer?

    Forgot my password, how do I retrieve, change get in to mac pro?

    Start in Single User Mode and reset your password.  Or if you are on 10.7 or 10.8, start to the Recovery partition and reset your password.  I will not detail the steps here but Google is your friend.

    You need to ask the owner/administrator of the WiFI network you are trying to connect to.

    i forgot my password, how can i delete password byt save photos if i didnt sync my ipad with pc?

    You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

    Follow the instructions very carefully.

  • My printer is asking for a WPA passphrase, how do you find that?

    How do I find the WPA passphrase?

    Hey jensmithnkids!
    Your WPA passphrase is the password that is required to get on your wireless network. You can retrieve this from your router's configuration page or you can call either your router manufacturer or your ISP for help in getting it.
    Hope this helps!

  • I'm not receiving the AppleId email when I hit Forgot my password, how do I fix this?

    I can’t recall my password for a different iTunes Id and I’ve went to AppleId.apple.com, pressed the ‘forgot your password’ button, it brought me to a new page with my email, I’ve made sure that I was my email, I hit Email authentication, and then it brings me to a page that says: “ Email has been sent”, but I’m not receiving any email in my Gmail account. I’ve made sure that I have no filters for Apple or iTunes and checked my Spam, and Trash folders and I see nothing.

    Hi CoalBeans,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below explains what to do if you do not receive the verification email for your Apple ID.
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201455
    When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account. If you can't find the email after we send it, these steps can help.
    Search for the email
    We'll send the email from "Apple," so you can quickly search for it. If it isn't in your inbox, check your folders. If a spam filter or email rule moved the email, it might be in the Spam, Junk, Trash, Deleted Items, or Archive folder.
    Make sure you're checking the correct email account
    If you're looking for a password reset email, make sure you're checking the correct email inbox. It will either be your primary Apple ID email address or a separate rescue email address that you added to your account. 
    If you're looking for a verification email, you can sign in to My Apple ID and review all the email addresses you have on file, including the one that you're trying to verify. If the email address is incorrect, you can update it and send another verification email.
    Resend the email
    To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.
    To resend the verification email, go to My Apple ID, select Manage your Apple ID, then sign in. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.
    Make sure that you're getting email
    If you're not getting any email, you might need to contact your email service provider for help. You can also use these steps to get help receiving email at OS X Mail or an iCloud email address. 
    Contact us
    Go to System Status and see if Apple ID is available. If you still can't find the reset email or verification email, contact Apple Support.

  • How do I find out my keychain password? Need more info fast about this

    My computer started to get really slow, so I looked what I could do to make it faster again. After searching I found that the safari content was high and that I should delete it to make it less laggy and slow. Long story short I ended up deleting my saved passwords on safari...Looking into more info, I found out that I needed to get to Keychain Access. I got to Keychain access, found all the passwords.
    My question..
    •How do I get them out of Keychain?
    •If I end up needing my password for Keychain, how do I find that out? I have the like start up CD, but I dont remember ever making a password.
    •And if I do retreive my Keychain Password some how, will that delete everything stored in Keychain? I would have just tried it, but its a lot of passwords I CAN NOT lose...
    Please help :/
    Thanks!

    Never mind the screenshot.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
