Macbook air not accepting password

Hi,
I tried to log in using my proper password but the system couldn't accept it. i am sure it was the right password, i also checked the caps.
i switched it off, then switched it on again, put again my password and it got me in, so for now no problem
but i worry how did it happen and what am i supposed to do if it happens again
the thing is, i just bought it, it shouldn't have happened...
Thanks,

MacBook Air not accepting new password.

I updated my MacBook Air to new OS and had to restart system, now its not accepting my password. I went online and reset password a couple of times but still cannot get Mac to accept latest password. Ideas?

You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.

Macbook pro not accepting password

Everytime I try to log into my mac, the password is rejected. So during start up I have to hold down, "Command" and "R" which takes me to the utilites page and from there I have to use the start up disk to access my account. I've already tried using terminal "resetpassword" and am unable to click on anything in the box that appears. Other than that, everything else seems fine. The problem just started today but I did stop using it the previous night when I got the spinning wheel of death and safari became unresponsive so I shut it and left it.

No need to use OS X Recovery (Command + R) to reset an admin password.

I am unable to open my MacBook Air cause my password is not working

I am attempting to log on to my MacBook Air. My password, which I have been using since I purchased the computer, is not working. How can I find out why this is happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Secured wi fi network gives timeout and will not accept password. Works on i pad and iphone

My Macbook Pro network was secured and worked on ipad and iphone. Now it gives me a "connection timed out" message on laptop and will not accept password. It works on ipad and iphone. Anyone with an explanation. I cannot get it to let me delete from the macbook pro. Had to set a new unsecured network to just get on internet. Running 10.7.4 and is up to date.

I deleted all and then set up an unsecured network. When I go to system preferences>Network and where the Network Name is, I click join other networks, then click show networks the secured net work is still there and when I click on it, it gives me the timeout message. This is causing a problem in trying to get my wireless printer back on line as it keeps going to this secured network. Can you help with this problem. I would like to remove the secured network completely from my computer. I have gone to the Advanced and deleted all. The only one showing there is the unsecured network.

MacBook Air not turn on, after hard disk eject, without guarantee

Hello i have two macbook air not turning on,
after ejecting external hard disk, when macbook air is sleeping.
External hardisk ( 2.5 sata) have one ending of USB Type mini-B
and two endings of cable (one for data, other for power), of USB Type A
After next sequence,
-insert one tail of usb cable into macbook air, the second usb cable into 5v adapter (like iPhone usb adapter)
-after some time macbook air going to sleep
-without waking macbook air, pull out the cable what connected into macbook air
MacBook Air will not turning on.
even after this instructions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1367
In nearest AppleStore they say that there is a problem with logic part of notebook,
And the minimal price of repair will be cost half price of macbook air.
In other words, they say what they will not searching the problem of this,
they only will replace mother board.
Would you suggest other solutions ?
May be somebody else have this problem ?

OK. I wasn't quite sure. So, the first thing to try is Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM followed by Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). If neither can be effected then take it in for service as there has been a serious hardware failure.

When i try to open a document, adobe will not accept password

cannot open file because adobe will not accept password adobe x

Odd. I downloaded [DH]RQ-7_UAV_US_Army.pdf which indicates the password you posted, and it opened WITHOUT any prompt for password at all. (Adobe Reader XI Mac OS X 10.8.5)
I downloaded P51D_Mustang_Ferocious_Frankie.pdf and it opens in Preview, Acrobat X, but not Reader XI as you described.
Here's what I did to get it to open.
Open the PDF in Acrobat.
Click File>Properties.
Under the Security tab, click "Change Settings..."
Where it says "Compatibility:" change it from "Acrobat 5 and later" to "Acrobat X and later".
Enter the password (paper-replika.com) below.
Click OK.
Save the PDF.
Open it with Reader XI.
It will accept the password and open the PDF.
This ISN'T a Reader issue, but an issue with the save settings when the PDF was created.
Unfortunately, for those who DON'T have Acrobat to make the necessary changes, it will remain a problem.
Perhaps you could contct the website and inform them that they need to change their compatibiliy settings in their PDFs.
But... It's NOT a Reader issue.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

App store will not accept password for updates but will for purchases.

Please advise.

Thanks... I did try that. To add to the mess, I just saw some update on my Macbook Air App Store and it did the same as on my iphone. I would not accept my new password.
I then saw that my iphone had some updates. I requested to update all. It asked for my password and I entered it. It downloaded some of the update but not others and also gave me the message that I put in the wrong password.
Still confused. Thanks for your help.
