Password not accepted on migrated account

I cannot login to the account (my main account) that I migrated from my old iMac to my new MBP, which I am the only user.
I tried the pw that I had used on the old iMac several times and only got the 'shaking window'. Then went in to the admin account on the MBP and changed the pw for my user account, but it's not accepting the new password either!
Please help as all of the information I use and need is connected to this user account - the only one other than admin.
Thank you

Thanks, I have read through the thread (a few times!) and still don't quite understand what the fix is.
On the new machine - as admin - and in user accounts I can see the migrated account and have tried changing the password. It let's me change the password but it will not let me login with either the new or old password.
I'm get the feeling from reading the thread that the easiest (and quickest) way to get this settled would be to delete the migrated account and set up a new account importing files as needed, is this right?
no, there are alternatives. if the password really does not want to reset you can try deleting the migrated account along with it's home directory and then running Migration Assistant again to migrate just that account only. another option is to try recreating this account but that involves some terminal work. try the following.
enter the following terminal command from the originally created account
sudo dscl . delete /users/username
instead of username put the short user name of the migrated account that's giving you problems. it's the same as the name of that account's home directory in /Users. you'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see). that's normal. this will delete that account but not its home directory. then restart the computer, go to system preferences->accounts and create a new account with the same short user name as the migrated account. use its old password. it will say that a home directory by that name already exists and ask if you want to use it. say "yes". then try logging into that account.
Seems as though that may be a bit of a pain with iTunes lib and iphoto lib etc... aggghhh! Sorry

User password not accepted after migration

Source: iMac Lion OSX.7.4 Destination iMac OSX6.8
Problem: user password is not accepted after migration
What I did: Tried to migrate over the LAN, but in the migration assistant the other Mac was mutually never recognized. (Did migrations several times successfully in our LAN before). Last time the LIon Mac was the destination, who is now the source.
I backupped then the user with Time machine on the Lion and installed it with the migration assistant on the Snow Leopard system. As as the password was not accepted, I repeated the backup/migration process once. No help
I reset in System Prefs/User accounts the password of that user. But cannot login either
First time, that a migration process fails for me.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Urs

The target computer itself has admin accounts thats not the problem, I can access it. The issue is that the migrated additional user account is not accessible with its password.
I have found here an istruction how to reset a password in single user mode.
http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
But that does not help either.The answer after the dscl -passwd command is that I do not have access (or similar, I don't remember)
My guess is that backward migration (Lion to Snow) causes the problem. May be I need to create the user freshly and to copy his documents manually

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go 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.

We have 2 itouchs, we a separate itunes account for each one. We have one home computer to use them both on for syc and icloud, the icloud will not accept the 2 accounts?

Do you know what happens if you delete the icloud account from an iphone 4s? Will it delete the pictures, documents, etc. from the phone, or just unlink the icloud from the phone? I want to associate a different icloud account to the phone.

What happens when you try to confirm your details, if you are getting an error message then what does it say ? For a card to be accepted (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address as on your account, and have been issued by a bank in your country. If it's not being accepted then do you get the 'none' option on your account ?

Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.

I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

Signed up on furefox desktop 2/2. No problem. Today password not accepted. Asked for help 3 hrs ago and never got email and nit in spam

Was sucesssful signing up and using firefox on desktop yesterday. Today user name and or password not accepted. Can't get emails-nothing. Asked for help with password and never got email. This was 3 hrs ago and not in spam folder

Password for what? Signing up for what?
Firefox doesn't need a password for a person to be able to use it.
Firefox shouldn't affect your ability to get email - Firefox doesn't do email, but it will allow you to access your web-mail service.

After creating new accounts Password not accepted

On my daughter's G3 iMac (10.4.5) I have always had it set up with one user that was auto-logged in. Today I am trying to add 2 more users but the login window is rejecting the passwords. The set up for the users goes fine, but when the users try to log in their password is not accepted and the box shakes (nice touch btw).
My admin login still works fine. I also tried setting up those new accounts with no passwords, but they still get shaken off. Anyone have any ideas?
To make sure this wasn't user error on my part, I successfully set-up similar accounts on my iBook and they worked fine.
Thanks

sounds like a netinfo database issue to me. if you have applecare you could call to be sure. otherwise, you can rename your netinfo database (which has probably become corrupt) by booting to single user mode (apple+s on startup) and typing the following commands:
mv /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb.bad
reboot
once you do that, the setup assistant will launch on reboot and to be sure you don't lose any of your daughter's data, make her user name, shortname and password are the exact same as they are now. after you've logged back in as her user, go ahead and try to re-create the users again. it should work. if not, you may be looking at an archive or possibly erase and install.
good luck! it may be a good idea to back everything up just in case!

HT2518 after migrating, i cannot open my files...password not accepted

After migrating my PC to my Mac book Pro, I cannot open my files on my MAC. I put in the password but it is not accepting it.

Hi PE
Yes, but nothing happened.
I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
However, it did not work.

Changed password not accepted in Mail????

I have recently changed both my Gmail and Hotmail passwords following the announcement that some account details had been posted online.
Now, when starting Mail, I got the pop up window saying my password was not accepted (hotmail) and I duly entered the new password and my mails arrived fine.
However the same cannot be said with Gmail, I have tried a zillion times to put in the new password but Mail still tells me that it is refused and won't download my messages.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Quit Mail if it's open.
Open Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities).
Select Passwords on the left.
On the right delete the GMail and Hotmail names.
Quit Keychain Access.
Next time Mail asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

Apple id password not accepted after ipad update to ios5

So I've just upgraded my iPad 2 with ios 5 and the apple id password doesn't work. I've reset the password 4 times now and still it's not accepting it. I've turned off the iPad and tried again and still no joy. Any ideas?

Well this is simular to the problem i have had in rencent log ins on apple. 1. Is the email correct? 2. Did you type the password correct? (There HAS to be an upper case letter in the pass because apple accounts' passwords REQUIRE at least one uppercase letter) If this was not helpful please try again or add more details next time.

Changed Yahoo password not accepted

I changed my password for Yahoo and Messenger. With the new one I can log on to the web site and also to the Yahoo Messenger program. But iChat no longer lets me in to my Yahoo account. I always worked before. And I have changed the password to the new one in the preferences. A pop up continually happens telling me to insert the correct one which I do. But it will not accept me.
Should I do something in the keychain? I see both the old and the new one are there.

Hi,
I would tend to delte the older entry then. (The Keychain just keeps them all when you change things)
When you double click the entry you should gte the info Panel.
This has two Tabs.
In Access does it say Allow All apps or is it set to "Restrict to Specific apps"
If it is the second is iChat Listed ?
The Safari thing might be a setting that Safari uses to Open an App that can deal with a Link.
(I must admit I don't use Safari and can't find where it has the MIME Settings)
