Ibook does not remember WEP password

Hello,
My ibook has an airport card, and I have a netgear
base station, (not an airport base station).
I am set up successfully for 128 bit WEP encryption
The only problem is that whenever I restart the ibook
and try to reconnect, I have to enter the 26 character
WEP key by hand.
I tried deleting the "system" keychain and re connecting
+ re-entering the WEP password as described in the
discussion topic "Saving WEP Password in Keychain "
but it doesn't seem to help
Can anyone suggest a way to get my WEP key stored in the
keychain so that I don't have to enter it by hand when
I connect ?
thanks, regards, Bob Parkes

Hello John,
thanks for your reply, and sorry for the delayed response:
Yes, I have tried keychain first aid: Here's what happened:
1) When I started keychain access, one keychain was shown. It was called
"login"
2) I used "window->keychain list" to show all the keychains: the "configure
keychain list" window popped up: "show" button was set to "user"
and the "login" keychain appeared.
When I used the "user" button to switch to "Mac Os (system)" keychains,
the "system" keychain appeared, and its location was "/library/Keychains"
3) I used "windows->keychain first aid" , the "keychain first aid" window
popped up, I selected "verify"
I got the following message :
Verification started
Checking keychain configuration for Judith McKie (user ID=501)
Home directory is /Users/judithmckie
Checked login keychain
Checked password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Checked settings for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Checked default keychain
Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
No problems found
Verification completed
FYI, Judith McKie the person who I am trying to correct the problem for
I notice that the "login" keychain is mentioned, but there is no mention of the "system" keychain in the message above from the "verify" step .
What do you think I should do next ?
thanks for your help, regards, Bob Parkes

My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it.

My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it. Internet recovery asks for his Apple ID and password. He has no idea. I have an Apple ID but have never bought anything through the iTunes store so it won't accept my Apple ID. I don't know if his computer is under warranty. He does not remember if he has Applecare. I tried reinstalling Leopard -- the computer originally came with Leopard -- but the computer screen goes grey and a message comes up saying I need to restart. He wants to give this computer to me since it's useless to him. What do I do to get a system on it again?

You will need to reformat the hard drive to go back to Snow Leopard or Leopard.
Does he have a Snow Leopard Disk? He should, as there is no way to go from Leopard to Mountain Lion without it. If you can find the Snow Leopard Disk, I'd at least start with that.
You will need to use Disk Utility in the installer to format the hard drive and get rid of the recovery partition.
Boot from the installer disk by holding down the C key on restart. When it boots, Open Disk Utility (Utilities menu, at least in Snow Leopard).
Select the Hard drive and then click the Partition tab.
Select 1 Partition from the partition menu.
Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.
Name the drive (Macintosh HD is the standard).
Click Apply to partition the drive.
When it is done, quit Disk Utility and install the OS.

Just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password

If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
http://iforgot.apple.com
If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on". Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? I did not have this issue with the previous OS. Thank you.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad2, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on". Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? I did not have this issue with the previous OS. Thank you.

Thank you, James, but I do have a WiFi connection on the iPad mini. The Numbers files update on my iPad third generation and iPhone just fine when connected to the same network.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you!

You are using google chrome?
Change to IE or Firefox and check if the same issue would be available using other internet browsers.
I guess its a Google Chrome issue.

TS1398 iPhone 4 does not connect automatically and does not remember wifi password

After being idle for a while, my iPhone 4 goes off wifi and when I am connecting manully, the phone does not remember the wifi password. I have a iPhone 3 and 5 where this is not a problem. Can this be linkes to the phone company you use? The iPhone 4 has a different phone company than the other phones. Can anyone help please?

Hi Damien,
Thanks for your reply.
I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:

I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?

My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

Mozilla does not remember ldap password, even though I check the "remember" checkbox.

Every time I enter an email address, Mozilla pops up the "LDAP Server Password Required". I enter the password and check the "Use password manager to remember this password". Then the message pops up again. I enter the info again. Then it accesses the LDAP server. But next time I type in an email address, it hasn't remembered the password.
Thanks, Vilis

It could be the password files are corrupted and not accepting changes, so I would delete (or move to a safe location) these files from the profile folder: keys.db, signons.sqlite, signons#.txt. Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder to open the profile folder, exit TB, and delete or move the files.
You can record any stored passwords before doing this by opening Tools(or AppMenu/Options)/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords, as deleting the password files from the profile will erase all stored passwords.

Network does not recognize WEP password

I have a Zyxel ADSL WLAN router which was previously working fine via my airport express. Recently logged on, the airport express connection was gone.
Although airport express does see the network, trying to reconnect has been not been successful, since the password is not accepted despite previous storage in the keys.
Using my Dell the same password is remembered by the router. I am kinda puzzled now...and would appreciate a hint.
Tincup

I have this issue too. We have just changed our router on our home network. Same parameters, 5 devices connect without problem, given the WEP key. Iphone appears not to forget the old network to enable us to put in new parameters. In Settings/WIFI NETWORK, I choose my WIFI setting using the arrow on right hand side. This brings up the advanced setting for this network and at the top of the screen should appear the option 'Forget network' - it doesn't appear.
Back on the Wifi network screen, I touch the network name - goes through a screen asking to enter password. I enter the WEP key, but it is rejected (worked for my MacBook)
Disabling the wifi security doesn't help.
Hope the extra info helps and would much appreciate it to let me know if there is a solution.

Even though the "remember passwords" box is chccked, FF does not remember any passwords regardless of website nor does it remember when I have resized the view of a given site. What can I do to restore these functions?

Both functions work on another desktop I have running FF. I lost these features when I first installed FF 4 beta.

Firefox on this PC does not remember stored passwords. You can check the"remember box" repeatedly, but every visit is like the first. Any ideas?

Firefox still does not remember some passwords. Is this ever going to be fixed? I've had to switch to Chrome because of it.

I never had problems with earlier versions of Firefox, but starting several versions ago (I don't remember which one now), it started forgetting some of them. The worst problems have been with Facebook, which is the one I visit most often except for my ISP's spam filetered mail. That site has not had any problems. I'm using Windows 7 with the latest updates. Firefox 12.0, Norton AV (2012), Windows 7 firewall. I can't think of anything else that might affect the browswer, and Chrome has had no problems with the passwords. I have IE and Opera, neither of which I use enough to have noticed problems.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I deleted the password from the view password window.

The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

TS1398 Does not remember my home wifi password

I put in my home wifi password and it does not remember it, if I leave and come back I have to re enter it, I put password in my iPhone and it
T remembers password. Is there any way to save password so I do not have to re enter

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
