My appleid is not recognizing my password! I've reset it several times already!

This is very frustrating! I have set up my apple account, etc and everytime I try to sign in with my appleid, it's not recognizing my password! I've already reset my password several times to accommodate the stupid error! Someone please help!!

If your son continues to have admin access, it means that he has unrestricted access to the password after you change it.
Another accessible admin account was mentioned.
He has put his user id in the /etc/sudoers file with root access.
You keep the password in a text file in your account. He has changed the access permissions on that file, so he can read this from his account. Similarly, you keep the password someplace that is no longer secret.
He or a sibling has distracted you with conversation while watching your admin keystrokes.
His own keystroke logger tracking what you type, or freely downloadable password cracking software.
You choose passwords that are simple for you and may be readily guessable family, pet, or household object names, birthdates, etc. Choose something that is off his guess radar. A name of something unique before he was born.
You hope he hasn't shared the admin password with someone outside the home.
Some ideas for you. Discipline isn't taking away the computer, it is temporarily taking away other privileges perceived as more valuable, if the password intrusions do not stop.

  • When I attempt to reset my password it does not set my password. I have attempted several times.

    How do I reset my password when the web site does not appear to accept the new password that I have entered? I have repeated the reset a couple of times, but the system does not advance to the next window after I enter my password both times and then select Continue. There is no action on the window after I click Continue. What is next.

    Hi Russell,
    I just logged into my account to verify Login is working, I then logged out, went through the password change process, and successfully logged in with my new password.
    Have you been able to log into the site previously? If so, how long ago? Also, how long ago was the account created?
    If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

  • Itunes is not recognizing my password

    I'm trying to purchase a song and suddeny iTunes is not recognizing my password. I log in to Manage my AppleID and that seems to recognize it just fine;  for some reason iTunes is just not accepting it. I'm absolutely typing it in correctly, and it's the same password I've had for ages so it can't be wrong.
    I do not think reseting the password is, or should be, my only option: I have too many passwords to keep track of as is.

    Sorry is should have probably mentioned this problem is on my computor. I am using itunes 11 and win 8( never had a problem till now ) . My password seams to work fine on the appstore on my phone ( just checked )
    When I try to use my password in itunes on my pc it wont let me log in, and get a unknown error message along with have you forgoten your password... which I havent.
    Thanks for the sugestions

  • Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document.  I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password that goes with the hint.  Is there anything I can do to access my doc?

    Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document.  I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password associated with the hint.  Is there anything I can do to access my document?  i quite the Pages app and restarted it.  Now I guess I'll reset the iPad and see if that helps.   Thanks!

    Interesting that one does not need the password to delete using Finder.
    The Pages password protects the contents of the document.  If there were a Finder password, it would protect what you might think of as the "file wrapper" ... the stuff around the file content.
    Glad it's not vital.  I have to say I only pasword protect those Pages documents that are, in fact, vital.
    Best of luck.

  • Mail not recognizing new password

    All right so I recently had to change the password on one of my Yahoo.com mail accounts because I could not remember the last one. I have this one linked up the mail application on my computer, however it is not recognizing the new password (yes, I'm typing it in correctly, in fact I'm just copy + pasting it). I also checked keychain and it didn't find any problems  apparently when I ran first aid.
    How do I get my computer to recognize my new password? This is ridiculous.

    Unfortunately it is not recognizing the password still. It recognizes the copy + pasted password on yahoo.com, but when I use the copy + pasted password with apple mail (even after deleting it) it doesn't recognize it.
    It was giving me a message that it couldn't connect when I put in the password. However I figured it out. What I had to do was copy the password from what I had, put it into the login area for yahoo.com, have firefox remember the password, then copy that password from firefox's preferences and paste that into the apple password part.
    Weird thing is though is when I looked at the two (the one I had kept typed and the copied one from the saved yahoo) they were exactly the same, so I don't know why it wasn't recognizing it.
    Thank you for replying to my question though!

  • Mail is not recognizing my password

    Apple is not recognizing my password. I haven't changed anything. It's been that same for years, now it can't access my email. Any ideas?

  • Apple not recognizing known password.  Iforgot does not send email verification.  Help please.

    Apple not recognizing known password.  Iforgot does not send email verification.  Help please.
    Don't know any other way to put it.  I typed in the correct password.  Now the account is locked.  Iforgot does not send an email verification.  The email is not in the junk mail or anywhere else.  It is typed correctly.  This is frustrating.  I was just trying to update the Ipad Mini.  I wanted to change the ownership to my husband and noticed that my daughter attached a new Icloud account.  I was just trying to verify her account.  I have the correct password.  Now the account is locked out.

    I figured it out.  It's a little confusing.  I was trying to add a new email address for iCloud and I was supposed to type in the main iCloud user ID and password.  The wording is not helpful because it displays the name of the new email address.

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

    I did not find the exact solution on the suggested site. only found the Error Code and description.
    Then I searched on Google.com and found following result which has successfully solved my problem.

    Regardless of how you enter the password, through a single line or on the prompt, the change will not be successful. To change the password, you have to remove the line passwords_listener in the file listener.ora and then change the password.
    Thanks

  • HT5622 valid apple id but not icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.

    repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.  Nothing has worked.  Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.

    I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected]   and this screen reset to [email protected]
    If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck.  I don't know.  I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though.

    The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download
