If you were to forget your master password...

If you were to forget your master password-what can you do? is there a way to start a fresh? like wipe the computer to revert it to its original state of purchase?

Reinstall? as in backup or what not? sorry; you'll have to explain.

What do i do when i forget my lockscreen password for my ipod?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I did not forget my master password - but the app kept asking for it

I am not editing the question although your website seems not to "understand it" - I wrote it down and so far the application (?) has not offered to remember anything.
There was a time before I installed Version 12 - when I was ASKED if I wanted it to remember - all the device asks for is my master password
I am recently become a user of FF12 and I have also Personas and the Personas Manager - but that fails sometimes to work and it does not change the picture - then I have to SIGN in ALL over again
Any advice would be welcomed and gratefully received

If you create a master password, each time you start Firefox, it will ask you to enter the password the first time it needs to access a certificate or stored password (copied from [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Options+window+-+Security+panel#w_passwords Passwords - Use a master password] )
thank you

What do you do if you forget your Ipod password to unlock your Ipod?

I forget my password and i cant get in my Ipod. Help!!

Although this was written for the iPad, it works the same way on the iPod Touch.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

If you were to replace your Thinkpad battery...

...would you purchase a "genuine OEM" replacement or one of the aftermarket units. I know an OEM replacement is more expensive but if the quality, performance, and reliability is significantly better it would be worth it to me. If the best option is to purchase an aftermarket unit, is there a concensus on which vendor from out of the multitudes online sells the best quality battery.
I ask because normally I try to maintain OEM configuration when replacing parts whether on my auto, appliance, or electronic device but I have seen more than one comment where it was stated that the newer OEM batteries don't seem to be as good as they were a couple years ago?
thanks for any feedback
*Smith & Wesson...the original point and click interface*

the quality of aftermarket batteries are inconsistent and some of them are made with parts sourced from places that doesn't have much QA, as such if the battery did burst into flame or cause any damage to the laptop, you would have a legal leg to stand on. As such it is better to use the OEM battery just to be sure.

After installation, will import/restore of bookmarks require the master password of the previous version

I tried setting master password yet appeared that submit or accept was greyed and it gave no confirmation of setting it. Did not use PC for over a week (out of town for funeral) afterwards and came back to find it now required a master and had no idea what I had used the day I tried setting it. I backed up my bookmarks and now wonder if I install a new version if importing those will require the master password I don't know.
I suggest that the master password set should confirm that it was set. I had "cancelled" on that screen so assumed no password was in place. Tough lesson to learn if I have to reset and lose all passwords.

First, ALWAYS save your passwords someplace safe, just for this reason.
As to the master, this only effects the Password Manager. The other
managers should not be effected.

Firefox master password prompt appears randomly

Every time I open Firefox, the Master Password prompt appears randomly within about 30 seconds. Sometimes I'm still sitting on the home screen when I get the prompt.
I have tried to refresh Firefox, reinstall Firefox, I've turned my Master Password requirement on and off, restarted the computer... nothing seems to work.
I would either like the prompt right away, as soon as I open my browser, or when it is actually required, like when I open a login page. Not the current, seemingly random appearance that disrupts me in the middle of web browsing.
This bug is so annoying that it is a deal breaker for me. It's especially annoying when I am starting to type something, then the Master Password prompt appears without warning and takes the cursor focus with it. I have to stop what I'm doing, deal with the Master Password prompt, then get back to what I'm doing.
In the meantime, I've switched over to Chrome, which is serving my needs fine, but I would like to come back to Firefox if I can resolve this issue.

Hi Will,
Are you using Firefox Sync?
In order to keep your sync login details secure, you have to unlock your master password before Firefox can synchronise.
