Retrieving password for a game center ID?

Hi!
My son has a 4th generation iPod touch. It's set up via my Apple ID so I can be in control of what he installs, etc.  He started playing games that required a Game Center login, so he created one on the iPod (via the Game Center app). It let him pick an alias and a password, but didn't require any email address to hook it up.
Anyway, he has forgotten the password and is stuck now, because the Game Center login wasn't a full Apple ID and thus doesn't have an email address.
We tried to just put in a new Game Center ID but of course it completely cleared out all of his game status, history, etc.
So my question is: in the situation I've described, is there any way to reset or recover his Game Center password for the login he created? My son is quite distraught that all of his game stats have reset.  I'm hoping there's some recovery option and that he'll be able to be back at it.
Thanks so much!

  • Can't remember my password for my Game Center account

    Game Center has always signed in automatically from my ipod touch. But all of a sudden not too long ago it asked for my login info and I can't remember my password. There are no FAQs or anything for the app, as far as I can tell, and I don't even know for sure if I'm using the right email address. Any help is appreciated!

  • I need to reset a password for a game center account that does not have an email account associated with it. I keep getting a message that it has been disabled.

    We have 3 iPads on my iTunes account.  My son created a game center account as a minor and it did not require an email account. Now he cannot remember his password and he is locked out. I am unable to reset it because all he has is his nickname and not a real apple I.d. How can I fix this?

    I just saw that the app Doodle Jump HD FREE which  is said to be downloaded is not seen in my purchases in APP STORE, so assume it is a spam. However I still cant reset my password...
    Thank you again!
    PS. The email looks so real... from APPLE

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Only you will know what your email address is, nobody else will. If you can't remember it then do you have any of the account's downloads in your computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ?
    If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.
    When you've remembered or found your email address then you can get its password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com

  • Seeking username/password for loaded games.

    Hi, I have the Galaxy S III and have downloaded apps for Words with Friends, Scramble and Scrabble. Is there a place on my phone where I can find my user name/ password for these games and if so then can I set up the same logins on my new Kindle Fire so that I can by playing with the same partners no matter which tool I am using? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    No, apps don't store usernames/passwords on the device, it would be too much of a security risk.

  • Retrieve Password for Game Center

    I have a different game center ID for my son. He just found out this week that game center requires to sign in again. But he forgot his password. I try to reset the password but the link leads me to reset my Apple ID password. Guys, how can I revive my son's game center ID as there are several games he loves to play. A complete reset will lost all his credits accumulated. Thank you so much in advance.

    I'm not sure my self either, specially like that one in the link. i let my younger brother use my gamecenter bc i use the same games he does and a few games i dont use. and since he's artistick alittle and doesnt care much and neither do i, i dont c why not he uses my gamecenter id.

    idk even how to make another account of a different ID on the same apple account lie that sort of thing.
    all ino that gamecenter is still improving on whatevr there doing.

  • Why does my apple ID always disabled when im entering my password in the game center?

    how many times i change my password because its always disanled for security reasons??only in game center application...

    Go to Appleid.apple.com, then go to manage your account and try to login. If it wont let you go to reset your password and try login again if it works that time go back to the game center and try using your apple id there with the new password.

  • I can't sign up for a game center account with my apple id email!

    I have seen one entry about this already, but it didn't give an answer. I just got an iPhone and can use my apple ID to get apps just fine. But I can't create a Game Center account. In the other thread I saw about this, someone suggested to make sure your birth year is entered in your information. I've done that but it doesn't help.
    Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

    I feel your pain. I am working on a free e-book project to raise awareness for ALS and running into the same difficulty. We have some big name celebrities lending their Names to the book and are now being forced to explore alternate distribution networks. You are not alone!

  • HT5622 how do i set a password for a game account

    being asked to set a game account password...how do i do that

    Hi Dennis,
    The password (to protected unauthorized access) to your wireless network is set on your wireless router. Typically most routers come with a setup wizard, either that involves running an installation sequence (via CD/DVD) or by connecting to the router via a web-based control panel and configuring the router that way. In addition to setting a password to access the network you'll also want to set a username/password for accessing the router to perform administrative tasks.
    You'll want to consult the manufacturer of your router for additional setup assistance, or the manual/quick start guide that came with the product.

    Not so.
    If you use Setup Assistant on your Mac when it first starts up, whatever you transfer to your Mac will be in a single user account.
    If you use Migration Assistant later on, whatever you transfer will go into a new user account.
    See OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant for details.

  • Retrieve password for HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6700

    I have forgotten the password for my HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6700. How can I retrieve the password or reset it?

    Hi,
    Iff this is your Windows log-on password, try the following.
    Using another PC, download the application on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
    PC Login Now
    When the download has completed, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer - this will result in another file appearing which is the disc image ( .ISO ) that you need to burn to a blank CD.
    You will now need to use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this ISO correctly to a blank CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
    When the disc has been created, shutdown the PC you can't log-in on, tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter - you may also have to 'Press any key' to boot from the CD if asked.
    Follow the instructions on the guide Here to remove the current password.
    Regards,

  • How can I find out what account was used for a Game Center ID?

    I have multiple iPhones in my family.  I have an Apple ID with a Game Center account.
    My son also has a phone with a Game Center account.
    I recently swapped phones around when I got the iPhone 4S.  Also, we upgraded all of the phones in the house to iOS5.
    I think as part of that process, all of the previous log in info was wiped.
    Now, my son wants to log back in to his Game Center account, but we can't figure out what Apple ID we used?
    I've tried the find my Apple ID links with no avail.
    I know what his Game Center handle is... is there a way to track it via that ID?
    Help!
    Thanks

    Nevermind... I figured it out.  I just had to log in with the Game Center ID and it worked.
    Thanks anyway.
