My newly changed apple password is not working on my MacBook to help me change my password to log on?

I just need help changing my password on my MacBook to log in. But my log in password and newly changed apple password are not working. Can I reset it or change the password another way or get a list of past password to try if those might be what the Mac thinks is my password still?

You can reset it.
For Snow Leopard and previous.

  • HT204053 my apple id is not working on my iPhone. how do i change my apple id on my other devices?

    My Apple ID is not working on my iphone and iclouds. how do i fit it?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • Changed Apple ID  is not working with the appstore

    I have 2 iPads. Upon updating to iOS 6 I've been experiencing the following problems:
    On iPad number 1: My Apple ID works from the settings menu, however when loading into the appstore, it keeps on asking me for a password of an old apple ID that I do not use anymore and I've got no idea how to change this.
    On iPad number 2: I moved over all of my apps from first iPad to my second one via the iCloud backup. However any apps purchased on my first iPad, i cannot make in-purchases for on the iPad number 2 as it says the Apple ID I purchased the app on is different from the one currently in use.
    Please could anyone help me?
    Many thanks!

    I have the exact same problem as "Jan Olsen 1"
    I sent them feedback:
    "I was given a $25 iTunes gift card. 
    When trying to log on to my account, my password didn't work (though I entered the correct password THREE TIMES). 
    I requested help changing the password through an e-mail. Went through the process, changed the password.
    I successfully logged on to my account and entered the gift card information and was given a $25 credit.
    When I tried to buy mp3s, I was asked to enter my password - AGAIN. 
    I got one of the following messages each time I tried to enter my NEW password:
    'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.'
    or
    'Verification is required.
    You must enter your AppleID and password, click Billing Info, and verify your payment information in order to make purchases.
    The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.'
    Don't know where to go from here."
    And then, just to log on to this forum, I had to enter my AppleID TWICE! Once, then again to verify my AppleID!
    Ridiculous! Frustrating!

  • Office 365 AAD Password Writeback not working; Event Viewer Error: 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed to the current one specified.)

    Hello all,
    I'm currently setting up a Proof Of Concept setup with directory synchronisation and password syncing to Office 365, leveraging AAD Premium for the password reset and password writeback to on premises
    AD functionality. Directory Sync + Password Sync is working flawlessly with the AADSync tool. However, upon requesting a password reset for a user, I'm hitting a password writeback error. The webpage states that the password does not meet the password
    complexity policy, while it does. I can set that particular password for that account at the on premises AD without any problem.
    In the event viewer at the AADSync server, I'm seeing this Error pop up whenever I try to reset the password:
    An unexpected error has occurred during a password set operation.  "BAIL: MMS(4032): ..\server.cpp(11003): 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed
    to the current one specified.) Azure AD Sync 1.0.0475.1202"
    My Setup:
    Windows Server 2012 AD with a single forest
    Seperate domain joined Windows Server 2012 for AADSync tool
    AADSync version 1.0.0475.1202 with options password sync, password writeback enabled
    Service account for AADSync tool with Replicating Directory Changes and Replicating Directory Changes All permissions
    on root AD forest structure with inheritance to all objects. This account also has the permissions to Change Password and Reset Password on all descendant
    User Objects.
    AAD Premium for my office 365 tenant
    AAD Premium licenses for the test users and the office 365 account used to sync to Office 365. This account is also Global Admin.
    Could anyone help me with this? Is there something I’m missing here? My guess is that the AAD is not trusted or the service account for AADSync tool does not have the proper permissions. I’ve tried
    many options, like setting the AADSync Service account to Enterprise Admin or granting the service account Full Control over that particular user.

    Concerning my issue:
    The Default Group Policy setting: Minimum Password Age is set at 1 day. As I was testing this feature with new users, their provisioned passwords were less than 24 hours old and the Minimum Password Age of 1 prevented the change of the password.
    After changing this to 0 days in the Default Group Policy, my password resets started working for newly created users. While this might not have affected existing users in production, it had me looking and searching for permission issues on my AD.
    So for those that might be experiencing ADSync Event ID 6329 and PasswordResetService Event ID 33008 Errors when trying to do a Password Reset using AAD Premium with Password Writeback, it might be helpful to check the applied password policy.
    The issue is solved.

  • Trying to turn off "find my ipad" but the icloud password. is not working although it has been reset and the reset password works ok on my laptop.  Any ideas.

    I am trying to access iCloud account.  I have reset the password, which works with my laptop. On the Apple website the account details show that the account is verified but on the ipad it continually says "verified" and underneath "Account not verified" Have checked the rescue email address but this says account is verified.  What should I do? Apple store said I needed to phone.  Phone chat suggested and went through change password etc. but nothing has worked and they have no idea. Help?

  • Internet radio from Apple TV suddenly not working!!! Please help!

    I used to be able to put internet radio stations in a playlist and sync to ATV, and they would show up on the ATV and I could select and listen to them! From what I've read on some other forums, after version 2.02 came out, you could even do that and not have your computer on and itunes open, and could still access and listen to the radio stations on ATV! Which is great!
    I hadn't tried this in a while and decided to get the 2.02 update and try. Now, when I select the playlist with the radio stations in it (on ATV) I get a message - "contains no songs"!!
    Does anybody know what is going on with this feature? It seems to work for some people but not others! Some think that it stopped working for people with itunes 7.6.1 and higher!! (I have 7.6.2 and OSX 10.4.11)
    Just when I had a plan on really taking advantage of this feature, it stopped working!
    Can anybody help with this topic? Do people from Apple read and answer these posts?
    Thanks,
    SB

    Wow! That surprised me! I had already tried something very similar to that, and it didn't work!
    What you said works! Thanks so much!
    And in addition, playing the internet radio from my ATV (rather than from computer & thru airtunes) seems to work better! Before, (using airtunes), some stations would cut out / skip etc... and it doesn't seem to happen now! And I can now, not even have my computer on!
    My understanding is that if I ever turn off the ATV, I'll have to do the procedure that you said again correct?
    Thanks so much again!
    It would be nice if Apple could now have the details / info that shows up in itunes when you play a internet radio station (song info etc...) show up on the screen on ATV - right?!!!
    (for me, right now - just says: "Proton Radio - unknown album")

  • My apple ID is not working on my iPhone

    My Apple ID is not working on my iPhone.  Help! 

    It depends on how you set up your phone.  You can have different Apple IDs for different services; you ID for purchasing can be different that the one you use for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
    If you have only one ID for all of these and you have now changed it, you need to make these changes on your phone.  To change the ID you use for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores you go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores (or just Settings>Store in iOS 5), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the changed ID and/or password.  To change the ID for iMessage you go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (or Settings>Messages>Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with the changes.  Same for FaceTime by going to Settings>FaceTime.
    To a different ID for iCloud your go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • HT204053 there is a new email on my phone apple id when I try to make an app purchase my own apple id does not work. How does this happen and how can I change it back?

    There is a new email address on my phone in the apple id password box.  My password will not work.  How did this happen and how can I change it back?

    Of course your password shouldn't work on a different Apple ID. This can happen for many reasons, no worries, just sign out back back in using your own ID.

    You can send over WiFi, but it sounds as if you need to setup your Gmail account, or did you do this already?
