Restrictions password doesnt work
Today for the first time since 2007, my 4 digit passcode for the iPhone Restrictions doesnt work. I have not changed it. I have not forgotten it. Why? Is there an iCloud type problem today? How do I fix it and reset this password? I was already at my wits end with IOS7 and this just about finishes me off, but if anyone knows how to fix it, that would be very helpful. Thanks
what about restoring from backup? There has to be something I can do besides trash aboslutely everything and destroy 6 years of perfectly crafting the best iphone setup! I havent forgotten anything!! Is there an iCloud glitch today? I mean it seriously wouldnt be the first one. After all since the dreaded IOS 7 update it still wants me to 'confirm iCloud terms and conditions' and then claim its 'unabe to connect to the server', which is clearly a BUG... Again, are these types of errors in some way connected?

Ios 8 restrictions password not working
Ios 8 restrictions password not working .... But 'am sure i didnt forget it !! ....what shall i do ?!!
Howdy Kanfoud,
If the iPhone isn't accepting the Restrictions passcode (which can differ from the normal access passcode), you'll need to restore the device.
If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you'll need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

Restrictions password not working
I have an ipod touch with iOS 6.0.1. I set a passcode because my son uses my ipod touch also. Now, when I'm trying to do something, the passcode will not work. I am 100% positive it's the correct password. It's the only 4 digit one I use for parental controls on both the directv, the tv and the ipod. It is the right number. No doubt whatsoever. I know my son did not change it. If he was able to figure out the code, he would just lock and unlock it when he wanted to-not change it. Plus, I asked and I can tell if he's lying. So why isn't it working? Is restoring the only option? Because I do not want to lose all the crap I've loaded onto this thing. I am so over apple, I swear.

How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Forgot to mention-from what I am reading you can't even restore from a backup, unless the backup is from before the passcode was set. Otherwise you still need the passcode. I may have an older backup on my old computer. -
"show password" doesnt' work in Keychain :-(
I'm syncing several computers' keychains using .mac
Previoulsy one of those was running 10.3.9 while the others were running 10.4.6.
After updtaing the 10.3 mac to 10.4.6 I'm not able to "show password" from the keychain access. However, I changed two things at once. (1) I began syncing the keychains, and (2) upgraded my last 10.3 box to 10.4.
Any help would be appreciated!
TIAReading this link below
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh462.html
Indicates that keychain access works differently for 10.4 than for prior versions of OSX. In the past, I was able to "show password" by only entering the keychain password. There was no need to know the "item's password".
Can someone verify that 10.3 and 10.4 work differently in accessing keychain passwords.

That is correct. The restrictions passcode is part of the iPhone backup.

I just got it back from the apple store and they reset it (becuase it kept shutting down and not turning back on).
I put in a new password because i needed to start over from factory settings, but now it doesnt let me log in anymore. (I don't know if this is because it doesnt accpet my password, or I forgot my password in less than 5 minutes, or because when i typed in my new password, i typed it in wrong twice)
Command R doesnt work, all i hear is a sound, but nothing happens.What I don't understand is why it is rejecting a password I am creating.
Perhaps the password you are creating is too short, or has characters that are not allowed, or is not secure enough because it is a word in a dictionary.
FileVault may have standards for what it considers an acceptable password. If the password is part of the 128-bit encryption scheme, it might have to be 16 characters, for example. (Don't know if that is true, but it's a possibility.) Check your documentation for password requirements. -

I have just changed my password on my work computer on gmail but my phonehas locked out of my emails now and will not accept my new password. it keeps telling me my username or password is incorrect. I have tried deleting entire email account and setting it up again but still doesnt work!
Im out of options and step by step on apple is rubbish!!Ive also looked into other comments people have made about this and they are saying if you go into your account and go to incoming mail server you can change the password there but I cant find that anywhere. it only says outgoing mail server.
could this be the problem? have i deleted this? -

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Password to unlock iphone backup doesnt work, tried new password and still nothing, any suggestions/help?
If you don't know the password for your encrypted backup, it can no longer be used. The whole point of encryption is lost if the password can be circumvented.
Your only choice now is to disable backup encryption and create a new backup. If you need to encrypt the new backup - re-enable encryption and DO NOT LOSE THE PASSWORD.
