Ipad Security Password Reset

My wife reset our Ipad log in security password. She nor I can log on with the new password. We keep getting "wrong password" in red highlight. How can I reset it? Probably basic but I've never had to do it before.

Yahoo security password resets are causing misery ...

Yahoo has stepped up it's security and as a result is forcing many of us to reset our passwords when their program detects 'unusual activity' Quite what that means I don't think anyone really knows. I have been forced to change my passwords twice in the past three weeks. The ensuing havoc this causes is extraordinary. The password resets itself for brower access but it can take days or weeks for the servers to be updated for Outlook or Blackberry to be able to use the password. I have no spent some twenty hours trying to sort this out. It is a problem that BT is unaware of although I have made four complaints about it. BT seems to have structured itself to be largely ineffective to deal with any complaint. There is no person that you can speak to that actually can take responsibility. An organisation that is so slow to respond and so poorly organised to respond to customer problems in a effective way is going to loose my business. When they call you and can't reach you they just leave a message that they will call back. It would make sense to leave a contact name and number where you could call the technical line back when the customer is available. it is small things like this that show that this company has lost touch with pretty much all its values and principles. I have been BT for over 30 years and I have seen this company disintegrate into a confused mess.. I feel as sorry for the staff as for the customers, who have been structured into small cogs in the system with no power to actually solve things.

You have all had trouble with your password??? I have had this for months and it is only in the past week that this has stopped happening.People didn't believe me when I said my email client couldn't access the server. The cure[for a day] was to go to the BT yahoo sign in remove my correct password and re-instate it --that worked-for a day -so every day for several months I had to do this all the time. It has stopped at the moment but I wont be holding my breath I have had major problems with BT yahoo over several years and will be glad when that virus is removed and I am transferred to CP Yahoo high-jacks you to its paid for sites changes your tabs and bookmarks -sent me to the US yahoo website and the only option 2 years ago was to pay a website -to GET BACK TO BT YAHOO!!- It has multible accounts on Yahoo that I cant remove All business -The US-China-Italy many more ALL on my account I cant remove. I complained here and somone must have seen the complaint of an armed protection company who were using my account -that has now gone but the US government still think I run a government agency for the Native Americans and invite me to apply for grants for them. I will jump for joy!! when the yahoo trojan is removed from BT.

Security password reset

when i try to reset my password for the security passwords.. i believe its sending it to a diffrent email then my email

It will be sent to your rescue email address, not your account's primary email address. If you can't remember what you set your rescue email address to, or no longer have access to that email account, then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If you can't remember, or don't have access to, the account then you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Device security password reset every 5-6 days -- how to change this?

I have a new 8330 Curve set up on Sprint, which I just received last week. I set it up with password enabled in the Security Options on the device, so that it would lock after 20 minutes of inactivity and require a password to unlock it.
After only about 5 or 6 days, when I went to unlock it the device gave me a message that my password had expired and forced me to change it. There is no option in the Security Options on the device to adjust the password timeout period.
I've searched the forums here, and have seen reference to this possibly happening as a result of an IT policy for units that are set up on an enterprise server. My device is not set up on an enterprise server through an employer, however; it is a personal device. (For what it's worth, my old Blackberry that I had from my previous job was set up on an enterprise server, and never once made me change the device password. However, my other previous Blackberry, set up as a personal device through AT&T and not on an enterprise server, did require a password change every 5 days and I never got around to seriously trying to fix it.)
I was on the phone with Sprint tech support last night for half an hour before the last person they transferred me to said he had to call RIM for more information. He never called me back as he said he would, however. Forumites, can anybody offer me a clue as to what needs to be done to fix this issue? It's quite annoying having to change a password every five days, and so far the only solution seems to be to disable password protection, which I don't want to do either.
Thanks,
Alex

On your device, look at Options > Security > General Settings.
Scroll toward the bottom of that screen, under or just above **services** do you see any "policy name" or the such?

How do I find out my security password so I can reset my iPad??, How do I find out my security password so I can reset my iPad??

I'm trying to completely reset this iPad so I can give it to my mother, however I have forgotten the security password, how do I find it out? Can anyone help?

No one has your password.
There is no way to recover it.
If you mean your Apple ID password, you can reset it.

how can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google. I also tried my husbands youtube login and password and the same outcome. Now I cant log into YouTube via the iPad account. I can log into Youtube via Google however my subscriptions and favorites are all gone. Can I reset the YouTube account located on the iPad? I cant seem to reset the password or delete the app and re-add. I dont want to reset the iPad since I have alot of videos and pictures on it.

Do you have Google 2 stage authentication turned on?
If so, you wont't be able to use your normal google password, but will have to instead generate an "application specific" password for the iPad YouTube app in the google security settings section.

Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti viru and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti virus and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

As KP has pointed out, there actually aren't any anti-virus programs in the App Store. There are a few that allow you to scan e-mail or stuff like that, and a few that provide you with information about malware and new threats for other systems. But none are available that can scan your iOS device for malware, because the security restrictions in iOS do not permit any apps to have that kind of access to anything. Which means that you also cannot be infected with a virus (unless you have jailbroken your device).
If your account got compromised, that had nothing whatsoever to do with your iPad. Someone simply hacked it remotely. Happens all the time. It's really amazing that, in this day and age, e-mail providers are so ignorant of technology and how their own systems get compromised that they would try to require you to run software that does not exist!

How can i change email address for security questions and password resets

I've noticed that my password reset requests are going to an old email acount. In fact, i am not sure where they are going.
the real issue is that i don't see a way to change it when i am logged in (it took me many tries to actually log back in) to my apple id account.
I've changed alternate email accounts, but again i don't see a way to change my destination email account for security section of the account.
Also i would rather reset these via text (ATT has this option for my cell phone account reset and i love it). I don't see an option like that from Apple at all.
Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Don't want to struggle with password resets every time i need to get in.

If you're able to supply two of your security answers, click here and follow the instructions to change your rescue email address.
If not, you need to contact Apple.

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions? On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.

TheresaEW,
I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue.

TS2446 i am trying to reset my security passwords but it will not let me. I have read alot of articles and i cant seem to find how to reset the passwords, Please Help.

I am trying to reset my security passwords because i have forgotten them. i have read other articles but i still can not seem to figure out how to change these passwords.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

I cant figure out how to reset my security password

i cant figure out how to reset my security password so i cant buy any apps can anyone help

If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email addressthen 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 (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Form function, with security password on ipad

Hi.
I've been trying to create an acrobat form with form filling function - for people to type in to during an event on their ipads. BUT we want it to have a secure password. The idea is that the people attending the events download the document prior to the event, but can't open it until they are given a password at the event. It means we can save the surprise.
The problem is, I can't seem to save a PDF document, with a fillable form function that you can save, AND give it a password. Once i add the password function, this seems to stop the form being fillable, on the ipad. I've tried loads of different ways to write it, and different versions of acroabt from 9, X, & XI. Tested it out on Acrobat Reader and on ipad. Am I going mad?
If it's not possible, are there any genius' (plural of genius?!) out they with an idea how to work round this. I don't think ipads can open .zip files either (had thought to password protect one of those!).
Oh orginal form created in Indesign 5.5, but also reopened and save in Indesign CC.
Thank you

It doesn't work with Adobe Reader, which should be considered a bug, but it does work with Readdle's PDF Expert, which is not free.

how do i reset password on ipad without total reset?

You don't.
You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.
