I have forgotten my start up password and cannot sign in

Just a WAG, since you didn't provide any OS X info: iOS stuff is useless.

How do I reset my rescue email address since i have forgotten both the email password and security questions?

Hello,
I have suddenly decided to purchase some music off iTunes Today (Oct 21 - 19:45 CET) and I have forgotten my security questions. I therfeore had to try and reset them using my rescue email address. I clicked "Send reset security info to ..." on the apple.id.com page. I went over to hotmail and i couldn't remeber my password so tried the security questions which I also couldn't remeber. What I am trying to ask is, Is there anyway that I can change/reset my security email under the "Passwords and Security" sections of appleid.apple.com and under the question tabs?
If so could you please tell me.
Thank you for helping me.

No, you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

HT5625 I have forgotten my apple ID, Password, and I have forgotten my security questions. what should I do in this situation

what should I do?

Which support page? See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35902.html for starters. An alternative to those steps is to boot into the Recovery HD, restart holding down the CMD+R keys, and select Reset Password from the options menu.

Blend will not start on pc and cannot sign into my BB id with link.

Have downloaded and installed the latest version of Link/Blend and found I could not log into my BB ID through link. The error telling me to check my connection. Blend will not work at all. I have cleaned registry of all RIM, Research in Motion and BlackBerry articles, rebooted and installed the newest update again to no avail. No connection to BlackBerry ID, and i am connected to the internet, and when I click on the Blend icon it does absolutely nothing. I have even opened task manager and rapid clicked it hoping i could see something start, but nothing does. it is like the file is not even there.I started out with an older version of link and blend that worked. I thought I would update and ended up with nothing working properly. I uninstalled the new and installed the old again and now that Blend fails to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tried adding my concerns to another thread with similar issues and even though several of us all had the same issue, anyone but the original contributor of the thread was being overlooked by BB staff. So, here I am with my own thread.

Place your iPad into recovery mode, which will require restoring your iPad with iTunes which is required when forgetting the Passcode Lock.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I have forgotten both my user id and password to login to the iMac.

I have forgotten both my user id and password to login to the iMac. It is my children's computer so I don't have it linked to the cloud. I believe it is running Lion but I can't get past the login screen to check.
I have tried the administrator password with no success and I have also tried command R to restart with no success. It is on my wireless network if that would help.
Any suggestions?
Cassandra

I cannot get past the login screen to follow those instructions. The administrator password is not working.

TS3276 I have forgotten my MobileMe password and cannot get into my "me" account. HELP! What can I do?

I have forgotten my MobileMe password and cannot get into my "me" account. HELP! What can I do?

I have an old G3 I would like to donate, but I have forgotten my password and cannot erase the two partitions on my disk.

I have an old G3 I would like to donate, but I have forgotten my admin password and cannot erase the two partitions on my disk. I have the CD for 10.3.9 that one partition is running but when I boot from the CD, it wants to set up by connecting to the internet and I cannot connect on the old machine.
I've tried several schemes by logging in with command s and carefully typing directions, but when I reboot it just gives me the old admin.
It keeps trying to connect to network which I do not want to do.
I guess no one really wants an old G3 but I used it for years and I hate to destroy it.

Sure you can.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
No password is required for this unless you set up a firmware password.

When i try to send email from my ipad i get the message The recipient "£)()&&£)" was rejected by the server. This has only just started to happen and I don't know why. Please help. I have tried lots of things now and cannot solve it.

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

HT1766 I have forgotten my iPhone backup password. Is there a way of getting it as I am trying to load my old data from iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5?

I have forgotten my iPhone backup password. Is there a way of getting it as I am trying to load my old data from iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5?

If on a Mac, and you elected to save such to your Keychain, you can recover it from your Keychain. Otherwise, you can't.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.

No, all content (music, books, movies and apps) bought from iTunes and App Stores using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
