Password Retrieval Question

Hello BB Users,
This is all new to me so I of course forgot the answer to the security question needed to retrieve my password. I do have the BB backed-up on the BB Desktop Manager. I exhausted all 10 attempts, wiped out the previous data and have reinstalled using the back-up. How do I retrieve my password without remembering the answer to the question?

Hi
In theory, you shouldn't be able to retrieve the password; its specifically for security and it works; I had the same problem a week or 2 back.
You shouldn't need a reminder for the old password now, its null and void. If you have a set a new password, or are going to do, then take very careful note of what it is and be careful when using numbers as you may think you have entered 123 but it has been registered as wer.
Folk have many ways of saving passwords, one I like is to hide it in a document on the PC.

You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

How can I turn off the password remember question?

How can I turn off the password remember question? I never use this option on my laptop, as that would not be secure. And on sites with their own "stay logged in" feature, Safari's password memory sometimes interferes. Is there any way to stop Safari from asking me if I want to remember passwords, or am I stuck saying Never for this Site on every site I visit?

Password autofill can be secure or insecure, depending on how you use the computer, but if you want to disable it, select from the menu bar
Safari > Preferences > AutoFill
and uncheck the box marked User names and passwords.

Encryption algrothim used for Password reset question and answer

We are trying to write a custom interface to the Password reset service.
The interface is supposed to allow the user to enter a question and answer, then using SAM SDK write the value to the iplanet-am-user-password-reset-question-answer.
The problem is SAM saves the values encrypted, so do any one know the encryption algorithm used and what is key or they are specified.

Only you and Apple know your secret question. See if changing the password via email will allow access to your account.. Then you can chnag yur secret question. See:

Same issue for me.
none of the suggestions work.....
I'm stuck!
Hello,
None? Are you absolutely sure? There are many methods discussed, with many nuances within some of them (e.g., the fact that password reset emails will not be received on the device -- this is by design). Sadly, though, from your short result report, we can't even begin to guess at what might have gone wrong within those methods...more details from you would be needed in order to provide you with any useful guidance.
Good luck and let us know!

ICloud Password Retrieval

Gang,
For some reason starting aroun 11 am this morning my iCloud password stopped working. First my mail on my MacBook kept asking me to reenter my password. Then mail on my iPhone would not work. Then when I tried iCloud.com it would accept my password either and directed me to iFogot.com. That site would not accept my birthday and then I asked it to send password retrieval eMail to my alternate account but no eMail has arrived all day.
Please can anyone telll me HOW I FIX THIS?
TIA,
James

Backup password retrieval

I just updated my iPod touch 4g, and a prompt came up asking for the password to unlock my iPod backup. I have no idea what it could be (it's been a while since I've updated) so I wanted to know if I could answer security questions to retrieve my password or maybe make a new one?

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, this is my first post, however, I am an experienced computer user and administer a network etc.
The reason I've posted that below, may possibly help those out who have set an encryption password on their iTunes backup, are sure of their backup password, possibly because they've recorded it in a password manager, as I myself have done, and then find that when they need to restore a backup, the encryption password will not work, receiving an error "the password you have entered is incorrect please try again" (or similar).
A few months ago I purchased a new home tower. Whilst I was commissioning it, I used my Dell XPS laptop as my main computer. During this time I had occassion to change my encrypted iTunes password. I did this un the Dell XPS and recorded the new password in my password manager, so I knew that it was correct.
Yesterday, using my new tower which has iTunes installed along with several backups of my iPhone, I attempted to change my encryption password. I tried and tried but received the error message as above. I should also say that I have my iPhone set to complete a cloud backup each day. So to recap, I first backed up my iPhone in iTunes on my tower and then forced an iCloud back up of my iPhone, so my tower Itunes account showed that I had backed up both to the tower and to the cloud, all withing a few minutes of each other.
then attempted to change my encryption password, however I was told that it was incorrect. Having thought about this overnight, I fired up the XPS, plugged my iPhone into iTunes, carried out a local backup on the XPS and then attempted to change my encryption password, and it worked. The XPS recognised my password straight away. I then turned off find my iPhone and requested a restore from the cloud backup which it would have allowed me to do had I not cancelled.
So it appears that the moral of this story is, that to successfully retreive a cloud or local backup and restore it to your device, you must use the computer that you originally set up your encryption password on, or else, you will neither be able to restore a backup or change your encryption password as it appears neither of these, from my experience at least, are backed up when doing a backup on another computer other than the original one (my XPS for example) and when backing up to the Cloud, the encyption password is not retained here either.
I'd be interested as to what answers the Apple techies come back with re this one............something's not right somewhere !!!!!

Gmail password retrieval

Hello..
For whatever reason, my MacPro "lost" my gmail password. My other 2 apple platforms: iPhone 4S and iPad 2 still remembers it...but it is of course, encoded and I cannot read it.
Problem is, I cannot recall my password as my son set up my gmail on all of my Apple products and he is unavailable.
I checked Google but nothing re: Lion can be found.
Has my MacPro saved my gmail password anywhere?
Gmail asks so many questions to reset my password...the only answer I know for sure is my maiden name. But that is not sufficient to reset my password.
Please help! Thanks

Does she remember the email she used? If she does she can reset. If you forgot your Apple ID password
If she forgets apple ID, she can also use this. https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
Make sure to check your spam folder in your email as well. Also check your Rescue email for account retrieval as well Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
If those fail, contact Apple Support Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
