Problems with my AppleID password

My AppleID password periodically reset itself. I did not throw off. What can it be?

Hi Bobby, sorry but the link is not really bringing any explicit solution...
I have the same issue:
For some reasons, unknown to me, my AppleID password keeps expiring. It is happening randomly, sometimes several times a week.
I then need to find a new password as the policy forbids reusing old passwords less than 1 year old, well actually I am litterally running out of ideas now...
and to reflect the changes on the iMac, iPad, iPhone and AppleTV. Pretty annoying and upsetting !!!!!!!
There's no obvious reasons why my password expires. I am not making any wrong login attempts and the passwords stored on each device do work fine... Well until the next password event.
Any ideas what could go wrong and how to fix it ?
I have read a number of similar bad experience on different fora, but no one has got a clue about what's going on, including Apple support who does not seem to care much...
Many thanks !!

    Starting with release 7.00 based system you have to set
    login/no_automatic_user_sapstart=0
    in your instance profile and restart the instance.

  • Having problems with key chain password

    I just got my mac book yesterday, and I'm having problems with my keychain password.
    My keychain password is not the same as my login password, it won't accept it, so i think i made a typing error.
    Each time i go on to safari, it asks for the password, which i don't have. i've tried the key chain first aid, and that still doesn't work. I've also tried keychain access, and that also doesn't work as it asks for the password first!
    Is there a way that i can reset it?

    There are user passwords and Administrator passwords. The only way to check your keychain password is to be the administrator. In an effort to secure my MacBook, I have an administrator account that I don't use at all and I have a user account that is all I use. It is a great way to protect your MacBook info from others.
    As to your question, passwords are case sensitive. You can try to change the password by inserting the CD's that came with your MacBook and reset the password. Seeing that you just got it yesterday, you probably don't have much personal information on it yet, you could use disk utility from the CD and reinstall the Operating System.
    Good Luck.

  • Problem with username and password

    I've been trying to set up a new back up from scratch, and after losing my network and wifi connection, I just about have it all working again.
    I have wireless connection, and I have the TC appearing correctly in Airport Utility, green light, reporting no issues, and seemingly ready to go.
    It shows up correctly when I select disk in TM's system preferences, and it shows up and connects OK i n Finder, under shared items.
    However, when I try to initiate a backup, its reporting a problem with the username and password, even though I'm entering the correct password.
    I've checked it in the keychain, changed it in AU to be sure etc, and when I enter a wrong password, it just tells me its the wrong password, rather than this longer message explaining there's a problem with the username or password.
    So I guess it could be with the username, but not sure what that might be - any ideas?
    The only thing I can think of is that the name appears as Time Capsule b7e45c in AU, but as Iain MacDonald's Time Capsule on Time Capsule b7e45c in TM's system prefs.
    Message was edited by: Iain MacDonald1

    Exactly the same here...error 107 is reported when I try to back up.
    There are 4 computers sharing the time capsule and only one of them reports this error.
    Is there a way to remove the sparsebundle and start again for this computer without having to lose all the others?

  • Problem with Mac Office Password Protection

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 with MS Word for Mac 12.3.5 and MS Excel for Mac 12.3.5. 
    I created a Word (.docx) and an Excel (.xlsx) document on my Mac at home, both with password protection.  I uploaded the documents onto Google Drive.  I was able to open the documents a few times with the password on my Mac at home, and on my PC at work.  However, now upon opening the docs, Word and Excel say the password is incorrect (both home MAC and work PC). 
    I know I'm entering the correct password. I'm 100% positive. I was able to open the docs a few times previously just a day before.  Now they're completely inaccessible. My questions are:
    (1) Is this a common problem with Mac for Word/Excel docs?  
    (2) Are there ways to recover the password (a dictionary based brute force solution is unlikely to work, as I use non-word passwords with numbers)?
    (3) If this is a common problem, are there other alternatives to password protecting or encrypting Mac for Word and Excel docs that don't cause problems?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.  Thanks. 

    Could just be thats the way it runs on Rosetta. I called in apple to ask if I could return office '04 because I didn't want to take the chance, they were more than eager to return it for me because of the fact it would be slow/maybe have problems running in Rosetta.
    I just got iWorks instead till the universal version of office comes out (which if you buy office '04 you'll have to buy the new universal version as well, or so the rep told me).

  • Using Tiger 10.4.7 with AD 2003 and problems with rq'd Password Change

    I have been able to successfully change my password 4-5 times before in my scenario using Tiger v-.2->.6 and have never had a problems.
    Now I just changed my old expired password, as req'd from the AD policy, to my new Password on my XP box and have a Mobile account on my Powerbook that won't let me in now using my new Password. It says I am unable to use this <name> account at this time. Is there a propogation time to pass?
    Local Admin account on PB can sign in fine- My alternate Systems Admin account <mobile> can sign in as well fine. Other local accounts work well as well.
    As a mobile account I cannot change my password without being connected to the AD network at this point (no access through local System Prefs). Has anyone ever experienced this? Or is everyone still shying away from Mobile accounts usage and Homesync (Works great on my machine - problems with other accounts/computers)- I'm sort of a Mac/AD Daredevil here in XP-land, since we only really support Macs because our CEO won't (refuses to) use XP and I am a Jedi Knight inside the Dark Star (Just learning XP/AD to get steady work).
    Anyone out there have anything to add/suggest? THX

    The admonition not to use the Tiger install disk utility only applies to repairing permissions. You can use Disk Utility from the install disk for verifying and repairing your hard drives. However, with Tiger, you can now verify your boot drive with Disk Utility from your boot drive itself (this only works if you have disk journaling turned on and it's on by default). If the drive would need any repairs then you would have to boot from the installation disk to repair it.
    Disk Warrior is probably the best hard drive maintenance utility in the entire Macintosh universe and it works fine with Tiger. Just make sure you have the latest version which is 3.0.3 I believe.
    In my opinion the iLife suite of programs is absolutely essential for the complete Macintosh/OS X experience. There's nothing like it on any other platform, period. It's a true work of excellence.
    You will enjoy the stability and compatibility of Tiger especially when on the Internet. The latest version of Safari is the best yet.

  • Apple ID Problem with Incorrect username/password setup

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to help my sister-in-law with a problem with her Login details for Apple Store. She has no skills in this department, so she asked a friend (?!) to help her. Somehow things were done that allowed her to establish an account, altho frankly I am not sure how it was activated. She used her old email address at that time, which she has in the meantime replaced with a new address from another ISP. I managed to establish an ID using the new address, but she has an iPad registered under her old Apple ID.
    Nothing was written down, and nowhere can I find an 8 letter password with the Capital Letter and Number system as required by Apple. The help questions which were established when compiling the old address can't be answered, because she didn't write down either the data, or the answer. From all this, you can judge that I'm frustrated at trying to do more for her.
    I can't understand how, or if, one could cancel the old details in favor of the new. Or whether it might work if I "Restore" the iPad according to the instructions in iTunes when the iPad is attached, and try to register it under the new user/password I established.
    We live very remotely, so popping into a local store for help is not possible. I've tried, with my limited knowledge, everything I can, but I've got nowhere. So, can any kind soul who might have had to go done this route, or who might have a possible clue to what I could do, perhaps help me out? I'll bet its staring me in the face, but as an old guy, my instincts aren't as sharp as they were.
    Very many thanks to anyome reading this post, who might be able to give me some assistance.
    Barrie

    Hi  barrie,
    Well, sounds like you have half the problem fixed. But for the original account, even though you can't remember the answers to the original security questions, you CAN contact Apple Support to have them reset them for you. Once they are reset, also reset the password to whatever the password on the new account is so they are seamless.
    Also, on both accounts be sure to set up a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS with the Security Questions. This will prevent any issues down the road with forgotton passwords/security questions, and will allow you to recover in a much easier way than this has been.
    But again, for the original account. You need to do the following:
    1.  Contact Apple Support, provide them with the Original Apple ID, and let them know that you need to have the Security Questions reset.
    2.  Once that is done, set up new Security Questions for that old Apple ID as well as a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS with those new Secuity Questions
    3.  Reset the Password on that Old ID to be the same as the one on the new ID (and keep it consistent - any time you change the new one, change the old one)
    4.  Sign into iTunes one last time with that old ID and use up your $15
    Now, forget the old ID altogether except when you need to update the password to match the new one. Once you have done your final redemption, only the new Apple ID should exist for you. All apps and music purchased in the same iTunes Library with either ID will be able to be loaded onto the iPad. When one of the apps needs to be updated, it may display the old ID, or it may display the new ID - if the password is the same, it won't matter which is displayed for the update. Put in the password, and it will update.
    Whatever you do - Don't delete the apps purchased with the old ID. Once you get it squared away it will just be like a "phantom" id in the backround. Not really used, but still associated with the apps purchased under it. As long as they all live in the same iTunes Library, the ID they were purchased under is irrelevant. The only thing that matters after that is the password (as explained above) for any updates.
    For the iPads themselves, make sure that the new Apple ID is showing for the iCloud account. This is what ties the Apple ID being used to do purchases via the iPad.
    I hope the info I have provided has helped, and that your trip to Canberra will be a success. Sounds like an all-around nightmare, and you have been a very patient and sweet brother-in-law to stick with this whole thing.
    Best of luck, and do let me know how it all turns out! I would love a line from you as the adventure progresses!!!
    Cheers,

  • Sun 7120 - problems with resetting root password?

    We have just taken delivery of a Sun 7120 system, did the initial config today no problems, then came to log in to tweak it and it refused my root password. Logged on the serial console with the same password fine, logged out and now it won't let me back in, just says "login incorrect". Have reset the CLR PW jumper on the mainboard, and rebooted and it then comes up in the preboot system, but reports errors about the ILOM. After powering down and removing the jumper, the root password is still there!
    Output on bootup attached below, can anyone help?

  • Won't backup due to problem with username or password.

    When my machine sits idle, frequently I will get a message that the time capsule didn't backup due to a problem with user name or passwork. When I am using the computer it backs up fine.

    Hi Royb,
    first i excuse myself for my english...its not too bad but sometimes i make mistakes... however
    perhaps you can help me with my problem as well. i did the log file as well and i suppose its something to do with the ipod functions in itunes. everywhere in the logfile where the pattern "2330" matches is something like this:

  • Problem with Time Capsule password

    Hi everybody.
    I have a Time Capsule and I'm trying to perform the backup of my system with Time Machine. I have replaced my old Airport Extreme base with Time Capsule and I've configured everything so that the solid green light is turned on. Now I have my Time Capsule as an Airport Base and Internet is working properly.
    Once I'm opening Time Machine, it asks me what drive I want to use for backup. I choose Time Capsule and then it's asking me an username and a password.
    Please, could anyone tell me what username and password I have to write? I'm trying with my administrator one but it doesn't work. I looked everywhere but I'm not able to find the right UN and PW!
    Please, help!
    Thanks
    Matteo

    Matteo, you might have chosen to secure your disk with accounts rather than a password. To check this, go into the Airport Utility and double click Time Capsule on the left to enter manual setup, then click the disks icon on the top. Choose the file sharing tab and make sure "enable file sharing" is checked, then see if you have it set to "secure shared disks..." with Time Capsule password, rather than with accounts.
    Be warned: if you change this setting, you will lose access to any files already on Time Capsule.

  • Problem with Mail losing passwords

    I have owned a MacBook Pro for a year now and mail rarely works correctly.  I have 4 email accounts and they continue to lose the passwords, and will not accept the passwords even though they are correct.  Every once in a while they all work, but most of the time some or all with not connect - sometimes they will all receive but not send and sometimes nothing will work.  The message just continues to come up over and over again asking for the passwords.  I am about to give up on Apple and go back to my PC since I have never had a problem like this with Outlook.  Any advice?

    And they show up fine on the other one still?
    Are the ones not Imported in a different location, like "On my Mac" instead of with the other ones, or vice versa?
    Can you post a pic of the Mailboxes expanded and point out the ones missing?

  • Problem with Port Forwarding - Password.

    Hello,
    I have a LINKSYS router, model BEFW11S4 v4 and its firmware is version 1.52.02
    My problem is that neither can I do Port Forwarding nor Port Triggering, because when I make the changes I need and press "Save Changes", it asks me for the username and password again. I write them again, but this time it does not accept them.
    I have tested it with 2 laptops connected to the router wired the first time and wireless other times.
    What should I do?
    Thank you in advance.

    Normally, you cannot "see your modem" in your network.  This is because a modem does not have an IP address.  A modem simply converts one signal (ADSL, DSL, or cable) into another signal which is an ethernet signal.
    However, some devices that people call "modems" are actually "modem-routers".  In this case your "modem-router" probably does have an IP address.  If your system is set up correctly, you can "see"  a "modem-router" that has an IP address, but it is not part of your LAN (local area network).  It is on a another subnet.
    The ethernet port of the modem should be wired to the "Internet" port on the BEFW11S4.  Do not connect the modem to any other port on the router.
    Maybe we need to back up a step or two here.  I have always assumed that you were able to get a properly working wired Internet connection through your BEFW11S4.  Is that correct?
    What is the make and model of your modem?
    Who is your ISP?
    Also, when you set up your router, leave the username blank.   Do not try to add a user name.   Change the password to something unique.  Do not use the password default "admin"   (with no quotes).
    Since you are still having problems, please use the following protocol to reset your router to factory defaults: 
    1)  Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2)  Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3)  Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4)  Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5)  Power down the router.
    6)  Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7)  Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8)  Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9)  Try to ping the router.  To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.  A black DOS box will appear.  Enter the following:  "ping 192.168.1.1"  (no quotes), and hit the Enter key.  You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out."   If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10)  Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1.  This will take you to your router's login page.  Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin"  (with no quotes).   This will take you to your router setup page.  Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen).  Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt.  In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware.  After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you have problems, report back the results of steps 9 and 10.  Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.

  • T60P: Problem with hard drive password

    Hello, I have a T61P that broke.  Both the BIOS and the hard drive were protected by a password.  I have a spare T60P that I swapped the hard drive into but for some reason the password will not work.
    I know 100% that the password that I am entering for the hard drive is correct as I've been using it everyday for the last 8 months.  Is it something between the two models that would cause a problem? 
    I know the passwords are stored on the drives themselves so I don't suppose upgrading the BIOS would help.

    The extended hardware tests say theres no problem.
    In verbose mode it says theres an I/O error on my boot hard drive and it automatically did this fsck_hfs thing and logs the errors:
    disk0s2: I/O error.

    s;AppleAHCIDiskQueueManager::setPowerState(0x7179800, 2 -> 1) timed out after 100105 ms
    (By the way I had to rewrite these from a picture I took. None of these actually got logged, probably because of writing errors. The logs on the console showed only the successful boots done when I booted via usb)
    In single user mode I ran fsck -fy and it picked up no errors saying that Macintosh HD appears to be okay. So i'm thinking the errors aren't to do with reading the hard drive but writing on it.
