Reset admin password but can't unlock old keychain
I recently tried to install software for a new printer onto my old eMac. (Mac OS X Version 10.2.8, 640MB, 700MHz, Power PC G4). The printer installer needed my admin password for the eMac, which I'd forgotten. I booted the Emac up using the original install disc for Mac OS X and changed the password successfully (printer is working fine), but now there's 2 things:
1. every time I turn on the computer, it requires my password, even though I've checked the auto log box in System Preferences>System>Accounts
2. Entourage requests my password for my email account as well as my keychain password, which I don't remember because it was likely the same as the old password I also didn't remember.
I've tried deleting everything that was listed in the Keychain Access application,and restarting the computer but the access remains locked.
Any thoughts?
I remembered the original password and now the keychain is unlocked and its not asking for username and password every time I turn on either.

Admin Password not accepted when unlocking X509Anchors keychain
Hi,
Has anyone encountered this before that the X509Anchors Keychain installed from System/Library/Keychains do not see the Admin password as valid? The other keychains accept the Admin Password as valid except for X509Anchors.
Any help or pointers on this question is highly appreciated.
regards
GalThis is an should be an easy fix. Go to System Preferances and choose users and groups. Click on the lock and type in the admin details. Then click on your account and change the password. Sorry if this doesn't work.

I need have the password but cannot open it is locked
If you cannot remember the passcode for the Screen Lock, you will need to Restore the device...
1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

I have been trying to recover or reset my password, but the reset email never comes, so I can't change my password. I tried to open a new itunes account to assign my iphone 4 to, but it always defaults to the old itunes account?
Me too! I tried to reset many times the password of my daughter’s id but she never received an email with instructions. :-(

apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.
It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy. I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA. The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s). iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
The problem arises when you want to update an app. If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID. Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started. It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID. Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
One last thought... If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem. Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue. Apple believes that money is owed on the account! -
I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps. I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled. I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps. Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated? TY
Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it -

I am trying to buy music and I keep getting an error stating that my Apple ID has been disabled. I reset my password but it still does not work. What can I do?
Crich,
The usual reasons for an Apple ID getting disabled are either unauthorized activity or violations of the Terms & Conditions.
Submit your request to iTunes Customer Service and if appropriate, they will re-enable it. -
