Password - I said "never" and it was a mistake

I entered my password for a site and when the dialogue came up asking if I want the iPad to remember the password my finger missed and hit "Never". That was a mistake. Thing is, it works. But how can I undo that?

thank you for writing. I wonder if we have different software. Or if I live in an alternate universe. I have the latest iOS on my iPad.
In Settings on the left column Safari is located a few down from General/ iCloud/ Mail.. Safari. I touch that and to the right in the General pane - the 2nd one down is AutoFill. So far so good. It is marked "On" with an arrow. I touch that.
There are four choices from here. Use Contact Info/ My Info in one pane; and Names and Passwords/ Clear All in the pane just below that.
Names and Passwords is "On". Touching that does nothing. The only option is to move the button to "Off".
Clear All seems like touching it will do what it says, which is not my intention.
Now --- At the bottom of the first window, with General at the top, there is a tab "Advanced". On that window there is a listing for "Website Data" with an arrow. When I touch that there IS an edit button at the top right, and a listing of website names. But the only option having pressed the Edit button is all the "minus' signs to the left of the website names. I found the website in question. The only option I believe is to remove it.
There is no "Username & Passwords" and no list of passwords for the website. And nowhere do I see an indication that I have pressed "Never Remember Password".
I do think I got it though. In the first General window there is a tab for Clear Cookies and Data - as mentioned above by Fred*M. There was no specific mention of 'previously Never' but that worked, i think. Now when I go to the site the password is filled in with dots. I just click Login without needed to fill in the password. I think I'm good.
But Rowenthomas -- I never saw what you talked about. Could that be for the Mac Safari only?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Got new iphone, and backed up my 4 and when i went to resore from backup it said enter password, but iv never put a password in and its the 1st time it has ever been connected to this laptop, How can i get on to my backups :S

I have just got the new 4s today, and plugged my old iphone 4 into my friends comp, for the first time, backed up my iphone,
then when i went to restore my new iphone 4s from the backup of my old phone, it said enter password, and when i looked the encrypt with password was ticked and it said to enter my password, but i have never put a password in, and never backed up my phone before,
how can i change the password if i never put one in, in the first place.

If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended. Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
You won't be able to get text messages back.

this didn't help. It says all app are up to date and I did not download any. Suppose to get the following free plus others:
iphoto, imovie, garageband, pages, numbers and keynote. where do i get these free?

It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.
HTH

At 3AM, within seconds, there were two attempts at using an "incorrect password" with my AppleID. The message from Apple was that it was probably a harmeless error. Seconds later, the third attempt worked, and that was the last my email has worked.Next???

At 3AM, there was one attempt at entering my AppleID password, which failed per the email message. A few seconds later, a second attempt failed and the email message from Apple was that it was probably a mistake caused by someone entering a wrong keystroke when trying to enter their own password. Well,, a few seconds later, the message was that I had successfully changed my password. Great.
Yes, it was a full twelve hours later that I saw this, since 3AM is a perfect time to hijack anyone, and I did do what it said about changing my password. But I want to know how someone changed my password at 3AM and had total access to my whole computer. My security is the highest Apple has.
Mostly, that was the LAST email I've gotten. I can't bring email online. I can't do anything.
I am mostly computer ignorant, which is why my daughter made me get an Apple in the first place. I love Apple. Any ideas at all the damage done? This seems like a big hole in Apple email. I am absolutely sure no one knew the password because I used a sequence I have never told anyone. Even my ex-husband of 35 years would have no clue.
Did someone have to know that password? Is there another way? Well, I guess so.
Help. Those emails are critical.

Well if someone got access to your AppleID, they didn't get access to your computer, however, there is some information such as you iCloud information that they may have gotten access to. If you changed your pasword back to something else, then they won't have access to it anymore either. I'm not sure what is going on though because I have been getting a lot of those emails on my work AppleID that I have to have for work because I need to keep their phone seperate from all of my personal equipment. It's just strange though that in the past few days I've been getting like 5 or 6 of those emails stating that an attempt was made to change my pasword a day.

HT2477 I just purchased the IMac and was in the process of setting it up and got locked out. A password is being requested and I did not establish one. Is there a default password for the imac?

I just purchased the iMac and was in the process of setting it up and it locked up, requiring me to put in a password. I never established a password, does the iMac have a default password?

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
but this email is authorized, what to do??
respectfully, Beba

Hi. My phone screen broke and I had it replaced from a phone shop. The guy said that while changing the screen and phone was blocked. It is now disabled for like 23,000,000 minutes and I can't restore it cause I dont have all the data sync to my computer.

Is there anything I can do or can Apple do something if I give them the correct password?

As you had the iPhone opened by an unauthorised repairer ( Apple do not replace screens on iPhone 4)
Apple will not provide any service or support
Take it back to the "phoneShop" and tell them to fix it
You have no other alternatives

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

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

You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use. I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.
