Is it possible to reset a forgotten password on airport extreme ?

Forgot password for the existing network, can this be reset, or do I need to create a new nwtwork? Any info, will be appreciated.

  • I reset my forgotten password via email on my computer, but 2 hours later new passowrd doesn't work from iPhone  What am I missing?

    I reset my forgotten password via email on my computer.  Two hours later still cannot use new password on my iPhone 5 ios 7.x.x.  Am I missing something?

    Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data on an iPod touch

    How can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data. 

    You have to restore from the computer to which it is synced.  Everything on the ipod should be on the computer so it can be put back on the ipod after restore.

    Forgot my password on Airport Extreme - how to reset?

    the information told me to update firmware first, but a password is needed to update this and I forgot the password. So I skipped this part and it worked for me. Thank you. The manual said to hold the reset button for no more than 1 sec, your info said 10 secs. This did the trick. Appreciate it.

    A couple of days ago I kept losing connectivity with the internet.By resetting either my modem or Airport Extreme I could regain it for 10-30 min. when I would have to repeat the resetting.Since,with Apple & Apple store support & many hours of contact with them the problem keeps recurring

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • Is it possible to allow others to access my airport Extreme's drive via t

    I have read the threads about my accessing the USB drive on my Airport Extreme via an AFP connection...and it works. Without a hitch! BUT....
    I would like to allow others (who are not on my home network) to access this same drive (with some level of security). Is THAT possible and if so, how? I have 2 partitions on this HD, one is a mac-formatted partition and the other is a FAT32 for PC user access. Or course, each partition has a unique name so, depending on the user, they would access either the Mac or PC formatted partition.
    BTW, I did some thread-checking but all seem to find are one's that show how to I can make a connection to my own drives away from the home, NOT someone who is not associated with my home network to make the same connection to the USB drive on my APE.
    I am running OSX 10.5.6 and the APE is running 7.4.1 firmware. the APE was purchased in 2008.
    Thank you, in advance.

    So here is how it is done if you want a PC user to access the USB drives on your Airport Extreme.
    1. Start up the APE Utility software
    2. Set the APE up with WAN sharing of the USB drives, and take note of the admin user ID and password for the APE and also the APE's IP address.
    3. Go to a PC connected to the internet and open up 'My Computer"
    4. In the address line in "My Computer" type in
    \\XXX.XXX.XXX substituting the X's for your APE's IP address
    5. you will get prompted for the admin user ID and password for the APE. This may take a few seconds so be patient.
    6. You should now have access to the drives from a Windows PC.
    ---> This will work best if you have a STATIC IP for your APE.
    Cool!

  • Multiple WPA2 passwords on Airport Extreme (5th Gen)?

    I have just purchased an Airport Extreme (5th Gen) and would like to set up each radio with a different WPA2 password. Is this possible?

    Unfortunately, Apple does not provide this option.

  • Airport Utility asks for Password for Airport Extreme. Whaaa?

    Found "Airport Utility" at Apple site today, and updated from "Airport Admin. Utility."
    To do anything, it requests a password. Never had one or set one up for the Airport Extreme.
    In Airport Utility, I tried resetting it and using "public" as the password, but that didn't work. I tried reconfiguring it and establishing the password through Airport Admin. and that didn't work.
    At Airport Utility, it says I need to update from firmware 5.6 to 5.7, but I"m not sure if I'll just be mucking up the works if I can't go beyond the opening window without a password.
    Anybody know how to work around this problem, please?

    I suggest that you perform another "hard" reset of your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). It may take a few tries to make it "stick." This type of reset will erase the wireless encryption password and reset the base station administrator's password to the default: public.
    If you are still being asked for a password and "public" does not work, you may need to go into the Keychain Utility to erase any previous passwords for your AEBS.

  • Mac won't accept correct password to Airport Extreme

    My two ipads are receiving my airport extremes signal fine; but not my mac. (Had to set up an ethernet extension from Airport to get online) Trashed the system configuration; reset hard and soft the base station; even trashed the airport byhost prefs.
    Can't figure out whats up. I enter the correct password; and the window says its incorrect. And no my caps lock is not on; and my keyboard is English

    Solution to Airport not accepting password
    I simply clicked the wireless network options button; in Airport Settings,
    then checked the box for the 5gz wireless network name; to created a 5ghz version of my network;  but connected instead to the original network;
    don't know how the heck it worked, but it did. I also reentered the password in the wireless tab.
