Restoring saved password from deteled sync password
to my narrow knowledge that I deliberately remove synced password on my PC, so now on my laptop also gone. Luckily I have a backup portable firefox and in hope of restoring previous saved password.
But everytime I started a backup portable firefox it start to sync and my saved password instantly gone (deleted).
It does what it suppose to do, no mistake. But what I want is to restore my Saved Password from backup, overwrite deleted password in sync server. And finally my password are available in sync server.
Please advice.
Regards.
I'm not trying to backup anything, instead I'm trying to restore my saved password from backup firefox portable.
But everytime I Started my backup firefox portable (with saved password still intact in it) and connected to sync server, It start to delete every last password in it. (Because I previously delete password from sync server from firefox browser from the PC)
What I need is sync server to stop deleting my password or even restoring it with my backup firefox portable.

How do I restore saved passwords that disappeared after update of Firefox?
This is on an Acer laptop running Win 7 home premium
Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If this "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you will have to sign in once again.
You can remove this "remember me" cookie to make the website forget you and require you to sign in again.
Did you possibly reset/refresh Firefox?
When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I regularly sync my iPad with my mac by plugging it in with the USB cable and hitting the "Sync" button in iTunes. Until recently, I had a computer with Leopard that just died. Luckily I had a backup of everything, including my iTunes folder, on an external hard drive. When I plug my iPad into my new computer (which has Lion), I can see all my apps and my preferences regarding what to sync have been saved.
Unfortunately, one of my apps, Papers, had a lot of information on it that was lost recently and I'd like to restore that information if possible. The Papers support people told me that it should be stored in my iPad backup, so if I restore it from a backup I should get that data back. But on iTunes is says that the last backup on this computer is "unknown". I don't know if that means there is no backup, or if it just doesn't know the date because it was copied from a different computer. Regardless, it makes me nervous to hit restore when I don't know if I have a backup or not.
My questions are:
1) Can I access a backup of my iPad on my new computer?
2) If so, would I just hit "Restore" and it will give me the option of restoring from the backup that was there?
I want to make sure if I restore my iPad I won't lose anything accidentally!
Thank you!I just wanted to update this chain since I was able to solve the problem I had. My iPad backups were on a time machine backup, but not on my new computer. In my most recent time machine backup I navigated to:
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and took the most recent folder from there. I copied that folder into the corresponding directory on my new machine, and then when I opened iTunes and plugged in my iPad it was there and I was able to restore it!
Note that if you have multiple devices, you can open that folder in the Backup directory and find the info.plist file, and near the top it will say the name of the device, so I was able to tell which was my iPad backup and which was my iPhone backup.

How do I restore saved SMS from PC Suite back to m...
I just recently had a firmware upgrade on my 5130c-2 at Carphone warehouse, however before I took in the phone to be done I made sure all me contacts, saved sms messages, photos and music were synced with PC Suite, once done, I removed micro SD card and SIM and had the upgrade. Anyway the problem I have now is that all contacts, music and photos are back from syncing, Although I can see all my messages in PC suite they will not go back on my phone!! Please tell what I am doing wrong as I need to get these messages back on. Thank you
You have to restore the entire backup, as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you want to keep your current data, back up your phone to iTunes first, then resotore the iCloud backup, import the recovered photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore the iTunes backup you made earlier.

How can I merge bookmarks and saved passwords from two computers onto one computer?
Before I got rid of my old computer, I backed up my profile folder on a thumb drive. Then, I got a new computer and started customizing firefox, adding bookmarks and new saved passwords, without ever uploading my passwords and bookmarks from my old computer 's profile. How can I add the bookmarks from my old computer's profile folder onto my new computer's new firefox profile?
That is about saving your current bookmarks to an HTML file because you would lose those when you restore a JSON backup from the backup.
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML

Can I recover saved passwords from installation on another hard drive were os has crashed?
My os crashed. The data is still accessable on the original hard drive. I reinstalled windows on a new drive. can I recover the saved passwords from the other drive?
To backup or restore passwords in Firefox you need these two files:
* key3.db (encryption key; [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db])
* signons.sqlite (encrypted names and passwords)

I was alerted to new version when Ubuntu upgraded yesterday; this morning I did manual upgrade on Windows 7, and all my saved passwords and bookmarks are gone. History seems to be complete, and somehow this morning (without my noticing any crash) Firefox prompted me to restore the previous session, and then gave me windows from yesterday.
Solved: Firefox 7.01 was installed "as admin" from user account and it started up using admin profile. Restart of Firefox returned me to user profile.

I can't find anything that tells how to get my saved passwords and open tabs back after syncing.
I had to have my work computer restaged. I synced my FF before I turned my computer over to tech services. When I got my computer back and downloaded FF, I signed back into sync. But my saved passwords are not showing. I have all of the items listed in the sync menu checked (passwords, open tabs, bookmarks, etc). I finally fumbled around and got my bookmarks back and I am not as concerned with my open tabs as I am with my passwords. Thanks!
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Hi all, i backup up iphone in itunes but not realised it was password protected and now want to restore new handset from backup but keep asking me for password but no idea what it was,, pls help...
You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device. -
Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7?
Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7? I found them and they are not anything that I am familiar with? They are from a t-com.de. I have been to Germany in the last month. Not sure if there is any association. Any thoughts?
You found them ... where? Are they in Safari somewhere?
If so, do Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
If that doesn't clear them (and they are from Safari), try Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and clear that area. -
Hi I am trying to restore my iphone from the itunes back and it is asking me for a password, I don't ever remember putting a password in. how do i get the password reset?

You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com. -
How do I transfer all my Firefox saved passwords to my new hard drive and operating system? Going from xp to windows 7. I have the old hard drive hooked up as drive f. Can I copy and paste from old drive directory to new drive directory?
You need to copy 2 files, key3.db and signons.sqlite, from the old [[profiles|profile folder]] to the profile folder on the new computer.

I removed my saved password from some sites that I needed to change my password for because they wouldn't auto log me in anymore. So I removed them and then retyped my new passwords in and the usual "do you want us to remember this password" drop down box didn't pop up.
Firefox would normally have asked if you want to store a new password when you erase the password and enter a new password.
Did you check the password exceptions and make sure that the Password Manager is enabled?

I have restored my i phone 4 and trying to restore from the back, but it is asking for the password, but when I entered the Itunes password it is not accepting it, how can I restore the password?
Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,
Mario
