I have forgotten my keychain password was wondering how to reset the password for it

I have forgotten my password for my keychain. How can I reset it?

If you don't know the keychain password, the only way to reset it is to delete the old keychain and create a new one. See the instructions in Keychain Access Help. (Keychain Access is in the Applications > Utilities folder.) The keychain is encrypted, and the contents cannot be recovered without the original password.

  • HT1529 I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

    I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

    Email addresses into what?
    Each user should have their own account and password to log in.  Each is independent of the other.  So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail. 
    That's the way it should be set up.  Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account?  If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts.  But everything else in the system is shared.

  • I smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone?

    i smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone? the phone is still working fine, just the screen needs changing by the looks of it.

    Why would Apple replace or repair the phone for free? Will a car manufacturer replace or repair the car you drove into a wall for free? If you sit on your spectacles, will the optician give you another pair for free?
    You can get an out of warranty replacement phone for $199 in the US, similar price in your local currency.

  • HT201336 Hi I have a certificate expired and was wondering how can I update it ?

    I have an apple Iphone certificate expired and I was wondering how do you renew it?

    No answers, just some questions...  (I'm not sure what you're asking.)
    Where did the certificate originate?  An Apple iPhone certificate?  For what?  For iOS development?  For VPN?  For accessing remote web services, on a server?    This is the OS X Server 10.6 forum; are you working with certificates with that operating system, or with certificates on an iPhone?
    If your OS X Server system has an expired certificate, you'll need to either purchase a new certificate, or generate a new self-signed certificate and load that via the Certificate Assistant and Server Admin tools.

  • I have forgotten my restrictions password' for my I phone 4s?

    I have forgotten my restrictions password, Solutions please.

    MorayMcC has it right. Here's some more links from that discussion page:
    On iOS 4, you can find your password using the following instructions:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/13131829#13131829
    On iOS 5, the password is not shown, but you can reset it following:

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18738663#18738663
    I have several devices on iOS5 and this worked for all of them.
    On iOS 6 this might be helpful but I haven't tried it obviously:

  • I have Macbook pro A1286 and was wondering how to connect it to the tv and have audio?

    Like the title says, I have a 15 inch macbook pro A1286 (from mid 2009) and want to hook it up to a tv. I also know that my particular model of macbook pro doesn't support audio from the mini display.  I know that I will need a mini display to hdmi cable or converter and a hdmi cable if I decide to go for the converter for the video. I've seen both the cord (1 side is hdmi and the other is mini display just to clarify if I'm not using the right terminology) and converter online and any comments on which is better/preferred would be helpful. What kind of cable do I need to get sound to play through the tv? If you could suggest brands (unless all of them are about the same), I would be very grateful. It would be nice to know if the cords have to be specifically from apple just so I don't buy the wrong thing. If there's an easier way (less cords) to do this than hdmi feel free to say something Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it and am eternally grateful.

  • Was wondering how well does the 1Ghz titanium runs Leopard?

    Hi
    Could some one put up a youtube video of how well leopard runs on the last titanium g4?
    I mean the minimum for leopard is 800mhz ... but how well does it actually run? is it worth purchasing leopard if you have 1Ghz?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi, Nomad.c. How fast any OS runs on any computer is a lot more than you could reasonably expect to learn from any YouTube video.
    We've seen posts here from people who had installed Leopard even on Tibooks that didn't meet the minimum processor-speed requirement of 867MHz (not 800MHz). They seemed to be happy with it by and large, but they may have had reasonable expectations going in. It won't be faster than what you're running now, but it will have some new features; you may or may not find them valuable. But you'd better have your Tibook's RAM maxed out at 1GB, because Leopard is much greedier for RAM than Tiger or Panther. That means if you use RAM-hungry applications on top of Leopard, you're going to make greater use of virtual memory than you have up to now, and VM is many times slower than real RAM.

  • HT1212 My Daughter has forgotten her passcode for her ipod and i was wondering how i can reactivate it for her as it says you can re try after 22,688,910 minutes! dont have the time to wait LOL

    My daughter has locked her ipod touch and entered the code incorrectly a few times. Is there anyway i can reactivate it again. I have tried to connect it to itunes but it says that i need to put in the code as its in restore mode! that doesnt make sense to me. If you have any help i would appreciated

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
