FileVault asking for old account password when upgraded to Mountain Lion
This is not good.
I recently updgraded to Mountain Lion.
After the upgrade process, my account log in no longer was accepted by FileVault. (FileVault Legacy)
The system is stating that:
" Your user accont password is different fomr your FileVault Password
This can occur if your user account password was changed recently. To update your FileVault password and continue loggin gin, enter your old user account password"
Yet, the last time I changed my password was perhaps over 1 year ago, certainly not recently, and defenitely after many OS upgrades?
How can this happen??
Now I can not access any files (Am I expected to remember a password from 1year+ ago?) ... Major Fail.
Anyone having the same issue or a tip to get out of this crazy loop?Repair your permissions, go to applications then utilities, then disk utility. On the left hand side click on mac HD, then click repair disk permissions. Restart your computer and test again once permissions repair is complete.

Please have a device you've lost a year ago and is now asking for Aastgl and restore the iPhone5 firs
What is 'Aastgl' ?
If you mean activation lock : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
then you will need to type in the account id and password that it's locked to, or remove it from your account (e.g. via http://icloud.com), or ask the person whose account it is to remove it from their account.
If you mean your answers to your security questions, then the HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 -
my friend activated my new ipad4 with icloud but now he is died and my device asking for icloud account but i don't know what i shall do.. please help me.. my imei number is 01*********544
<Personal Information Edited by Host>There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
There is no workaround.
Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
AppleId you used to log into this forum?

First of all, what is asking for a reinstall? Did you move PSE from another computer?

Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password
I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password. Where do I find one?
There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
Thanks for your help Linc. -
How do I recover my password set up when I added AirPort Express to my iMmac a few years ago.. My wife has just purchased an iPad and it is asking for that "forgotten" password to make the Wi Fi connection ?
From the airport express user manual:
If You Forgot Your Network or AirPort Express Password
You can clear the AirPort network or AirPort Express password by resetting AirPort
Express.
To reset your password:
1 Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for one
second.
2 Select your AirPort network.
On a Macintosh computer:
=> Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to select the network created by AirPort
Express (the network name does not change).
3 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a
Macintosh
4 Select your AirPort Express and click Configure.
5 In the dialog that appears, make the following changes:
 Reset the AirPort Express password.
 Turn on encryption to activate password protection for your AirPort network. If you
turn on encryption, enter a new password for your AirPort network.
6 Click OK.
AirPort Express restarts to load the new settings -
why is my new ipad asking for a long password when I set up a 4 digit code??
You will most probably have to force your iPad into Recovery Mode to remove passcode.
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary. -
I recently Loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my MacBook. Now I cant print or save PDF files. I am asked for my "Owners Password" I bought this mac new, 3 years ago and dont remember my Owners password only my admin. How can I fix this?
Please Advise
RichThat is your admin password. You might try this:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
I would also do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
And, consider downloading either Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo or Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and updating the system, but only after doing the above suggestions. -
Made new Apple ID and is still asking for old that is not working, help
Please help me with my Apple ID. We have made a new one because we could not think of our old one and nothing was matching when we tried to regain it. So I cannot update or download anything as it still asks me for the old ID password, I don't know!!! Please help

IPhone still asks for old account info although account updated on sustem
hi. i updated my 3GS to OS4. at the same time, i chaned my account info. now i can log in to app store on pc but not on iphone. sign in page on iphone still has old email address. anyone with similar experieince or advice on how to fix? thx in advance.
I just thought of something. I plugged it into my iMac and synced some songs over to it from my iTunes. Is there a chance that is why the apps ask for my iTunes account information? But his iTunes account is still in the iTunes Store in settings, I'm so confused.

My phone sometimes does not alert me when I get messages from certain people, and is constantly asking me to put in my password for my apple ID. I have only done it once, but the prompt immediately popped up again, and is really just a major nusaince. I don't know what is going on with my phone because it also keeps freezing and won't even lock. It's just so frustrating at times.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

We are wanting to reset our ipod but when we go to erase all content it asks us for a restriction password and we have no idea what that is and dont remember ever setting one up. How do we get around this.?
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see:
How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
As Ana said,
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

New user needs to reset password asking for old users password
Attn: My new Mac friends,
I just bought me a mac pro with the operating system
X Already Installed and because its a used macintosh the old administrators logon name appears and of coarse its asking for the password.
I need to know how to reset the password and put my password in it without the use of the disc to the OS x.
Or maybe clear the password at startup by entering ?
(what Key on the Keyboard do I press to enter the computers system bios or adminastrator?
thanks susan ([email protected])Welcome to Apple discussions, Susan!
On a Mac you have to have the system disk in order to reset the administrator password. You should ask whoever you bought the system from to give you the disks. Without these you will be unable to fix many of the problems that occasionally arise. At the VERY least, you should be able to get the password from the person you bought it from.
Just for future reference Macs don't have anything equivalent to the BIOS. That is a PC thing.
Also this forum is for people who want to program on the Mac a much better forum would be the "Installation & Setup" forum under "Tiger"
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752
Finally, it isn't a good idea to post your e-mail address in public forums like this. Spammers can, and do, read through and add your address to their lists. Additionally the expectation is that all answers will be made to the list, so that others can get the help as well. If you want people t be able to reach you directly, you can go to "My Settings" on the right and add your address there. It is much harder for spammers to get your address that way. If you wan to know that someone has responded to your post, you can "subscribe" using the "My subscriptions" link, also on the right.
Enjoy your Mac!
