  • I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out?

    I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out.  What can I do to reset the password on the ipad?

    Connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you can't use the computer that you normally sync to then you will need to use a different computer, but you won't be able to re-sync your content.

    What I think you are talking about is a user name and password for an Apple ID.
    Apple IDs use a email address and a password you create for that email address on Apples website.
    There should be a link on whatever page you are on to Create an Apple ID. Click that link.
    Or just open App Store from the link on you Dock then Find the link to create an Apple ID.
    Absolutely not.  You can create a blank password.  Yes it's stupid.  Yes it's unsafe.  But from helping people with their Macs, I find most do not set up a password.  <facepalm>

  • I can't type in my ipad password because I changed the language of the keyboard, and now I'm locked out of it. What do I do?

    I accidentally set my ipad's keyboard to arabic, and my password for it has all english letters, and now I can't get into my ipad.
    What do I do?

    Have u backed up your ipad to iTunes recently? You could restore it from a backup. That would restore your ipad to a point in time that your keyboard was in English.

  • My daughter locked herself out of her ipod.  She can't remember the password and now we are locked out.  How can I get back in or restore it after she forgot her password?

    My daughter forgot her password on her iphone and we cant get it unlocked.  Is there a way to bypass her password or restore the phone so she can use it again?

    Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.

  • I have never changed my passcode and now I'm locked out.  Others had this?  Solutions?

    I have an ipad air with a passcode that's never had the passcode changed.  Tonight I entered it as usual and it was repeatedly rejected, locked me out, etc.
    I'm now going through the painful process of having to restore it (fun to do as you have to do it in recovery mode given turning find my phone off and you can't when passcode protected).
    I'm concerned about why or how this happened in the first place so as to avoid it in the future.  Any ideas?
    I am not jailbroken.  100% as from the mfg.  
    Thanks.

    Option 1
    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • So I just bought a movie and now it's not on my purchased list, what can I do to get it on there?

    Please help

    Films can't be re-downloaded in all countries - and even where films can be re-downloaded, not all film studios have agreed to it. If you've just bought it on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app. If it's a previous purchase then have you not got it on your computer and /or on a backup so that you can sync it to the iPad ?

  • I have forgotten my administrator password, and there are no hints. I have a Mac OS X Mavericks. When I get to the reset password screen, it has no hard drive to select. What now?

    I have forgotten my administrator password, and there are no hints. I have a Mac OS X Mavericks. When I get to the reset password screen, it has no hard drive to select. What now?

    If you're using FileVault, you first have to unlock the startup volume in Disk Utility. Select it and click the Unlock button in the toolbar. Of course, this is only possible if you know another password to unlock the volume. If you don't, follow instead these instructions.

  • I have forgotten my administrator password and can't find my Mac OS X Install Dvd..what can I do?

    OK, try this:
    http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/10/forgot-mac-password-how-to-reset-mac-password/
    Be very very careful if you decide to use Terminal. Even a small typing error can cause a disaster. And terminal commands must be typed exactly as shown, including spaces.
    Good luck.
    p.s. Your Apple ID and password - different from the computer log in password - are what you used to get to this discussion.

  • I have forgotten my original email, and now I want to turn on how to ipad?

    I have forgotten my original email, and now I want to turn on how to ipad?

    Hey there Simonlim95,
    It sounds like you need to find your Apple ID email address. This article will help you do that, named:
    Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you can't remember your Apple ID, follow these steps to look for it:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) and click “Find your Apple ID”.
    Enter your first name, last name, current email address, and any prior email addresses that you might have used to create an Apple ID. Apple uses this information to search for Apple IDs.
    If no Apple IDs are found, follow the onscreen instructions to create an Apple ID.
    If one Apple ID is found, choose whether to receive an email from Apple or answer security questions. Both options will conclude by asking you to reset your Apple ID password. Follow the instructions provided. 
    If multiple Apple IDs are found, select the one that matches your current email address. Then choose whether to receive an email from Apple or answer security questions. Both options will conclude by asking you to reset your Apple ID password. Follow the instructions provided. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • HT1752 I have forgotten my admin password and need to create another user

    I have forgotten my admin password and need to create another user. Have no disks to boot from!!

    You need an installer disc in order to reset an admin password. I don't know if the following will work on your system, but give it a try:
    You can also reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what their directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start up the computer while holding down Cmd-S. It should boot into a command line. (If it doesn't, you may need to reset the firmware password, which is detailed elsewhere.)
    Type these exact lines:
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. (You did write it down, didn't you?) Type "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was - rather prosaically - called "admin", you'd type "passwd admin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "admin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and type a new password.
    Now, type:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

    I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one (when I have no password and the security questions aren't working?)

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.
