[SOLVED]I've lost my saved passwords after changing hardware

I had to change my motherboard and processor the other day and immediately after that incident, I seem to have lost all of my passwords. The reason I'm certain of this is because the only password that's saved is from a site I only used after this incident. The only thing I'd done recently other than change hardware was update firefox to 35.02.
Even after restoring my key3.db to a version 4 months old, not a single difference was made. The password manager still only has that one single username and password, rather than the many I had before. Other than the change of hardware, the boot partition and drives are the same and nothing was uninstalled. Also, I'm not sure if it's related, but my logins.json file is 1KB while the logins.json.corrupt is 109KB. Were the passwords saved in there? What should I give a try?
EDIT: Solved with a post by Chris at http://codeverge.com/mozilla.support.firefox/saved-passwords-disappeared-on-update/2006894
I'm not sure how to close this ticket, so feel free to

"You can force Firefox to re-import your old passwords. Here's how:
1. In the location bar, type "about:config" (without the quotes) and
press <Enter>.
2. Click [I'll be careful, I Promise!]
3. Search for the preference: signon.importedFromSqlite
4. Right click on signon.importedFromSqlite, and select "Reset".
5. Go to Help-->Troubleshooting_Information, then click on [Open
Folder]. That will open Windows Explorer in your Firefox profile.
6. Close Firefox
7. In your profile folder, delete the file "logins.json"."

I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.

Lost all saved passwords. how do I retreive them?

I have lost all of my saved passwords in my Tools, Options, Security. How do I go about restarting this so it will save passwords from here forward, or if possible retrieving all of the passwords that were lost. Thank you for any help I can get on this. I have tried everything I know how and I'm unable to retrieve the passwords or get information on how to at least start saving them starting from here.
Thank You

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

I have lost al my passwords after the last update. How do I get them back?

All my passwords disappeared after the update to FF32. Unfortunately sync no longer supports password synchronisation so it seems that all my passwords are gone.

Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
If you still have the signons.sqlite file that was used in Firefox 31 and older then you could try to recover the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
* reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the about:config page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Lost my WEP password after upgrading my AIRPORT software

A year ago, I joined SBCGlobal.net
I have a faint memory of a password that I had to insert in order for my G4 to use the network from a remote location. I also have a faint memory that wherever I got the password, it did not work, and after calling SBCI, I was told to insert a $ sign in front of the password. That worked.
I just today upgraded to Airport 4.2. When I restarted, my network was still visible under the Airport icon on the desktop, but the computer did not connect. Manually clicking on the network (2Wire....) brought up the WEP dialogue page and asked for my password.
Is this something I had to create, or was it supplied by the SBC folks? If it's gone forever, can I fix the problem in some way?
Thank you,
Anene

Read the user manual for your 2Wire router - it will tell you what the default WEP key is for your router.

I lost my saved passwords, how can i recover them?

one of the two files responsible for the passwords got deleted, can I still recover my passwords using the one file?

No. You need two files. Key3.db with the encryption key and signons.sqlite with the encrypted names and passwords.

Lost bookmarks and passwords after uninstalling aurora. Please help!

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811670''
I uninstalled aurora and when i started firefox up all my book marks and passwords was gone. :( The last time i had backed that stuff up was months ago and i had a ton of new book marks and passwords. I sooo need them back. I have a feeling they are gone for good BUT i was hoping there was a chance that there was something i dont know about. Ya know? Thank you for any help i get on this.

Luckily for me Windows System Restore worked, I hope this might help someone who's been victim of this stupidity from Firefox. (Be warned! Restore might affect other applications and/or changes in your system).
This is just f'in ridiculous, I really tried to be a loyal and proudly Firefox user, tried to promote ffx to other people and help with feedback, this time with Aurora, and when I uninstalled it, it vanished my profile, so stupid.
However I wish you good luck ffx!

Lost all my settings after changing my ID

Just recently whilst signed into my yahoo account, it would not enable me to send e-mails.(on my apple ipad) So in my wisdom I changed my ID account along with a new password. Since then I have not been able to connect to icloud, , iTunes apps Safari as they still have my old yahoo account to sign into. I would appreciate if any readers have had the same problem and how they overcame it Thanks in advance
Kevin Michael Craig

If you've updated your iTunes account to have a new primary email address then for the iTunes stores tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and tap 'sign out' on the popup and then log back in with the updated version of your account/
Similarly for the cloud, Settings > iCloud > Sign Out and then log back in
For Safari, if you have ids and passwords saved then you might be able to edit them via Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill > Saved Passwords

Problem with apple not accepting my password after changing it three times as per there request

does this mean everything is ok with password an apple id
hello anyone here???? pls advise i've never done this before.

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong when you do a firmware update, but the last update, 2.2.1, had nothing to do with WiFi. Not being able to even see your network, encryption on or off, is indicative of a hardware problem with your touch. Take the Apple technician's suggestion and return the iPod.
While you are waiting for a replacement, do yourself a favor and cleanup your MacBook. Totally remove iTunes (see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224) and download and install the latest version (8.1).
Take a look at your router setup. What type of encryption are you using? Have you updated your firmware to the latest version? If your router supports it, change your encryption to WPA/WPA2-personnel editions. If you are stuck with WEP, change the encryption to 128 bit and record the hex key generated with your password. When you log on, make sure you tell your touch the encryption being used and, if using WEP, input the hex key. With WPA/WPA2 you can use the password you selected.
Also when you are looking into your router, make sure the DHCP is on and MAC address filtering is off.

Have Photoshop 7.0.1 - recently quit saving as or saving photos after changes. Just hangs until i kill process with task manager. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Any suggestions? I don't want to upgrade to CC as I hate subscription services and often ha

Just hangs until i kill process with task manager. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Any suggestions? I don't want to upgrade to CC as I hate subscription services and often have internet connection services interuppted.

Which operating system are you using?
Resetting the photoshop preferences might cure the problem.
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys down just after starting the launch of photoshop 7
(Shift-Command-Option on a mac)
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes

Print the password after change

Hi frends..
We want to print the password whenever Administrator change it. For that We need to write a plug-in and put it as Pre-Operation plugin to store and print the password before it is encripted but will Diretory Server allow to put custom plugin? plz tell me ..and also if there is any other way of doing this..

Yes it is possible to write a Pre-Add Pre-Modify plug-in to capture the userPassword attribute unhashed.
The unhashed value is present in a dummy attribute (or modification) with an explicit name, but this is considered as a private interface, ie not exposed and not documented.
Also, I would not recommend that you print the value of the userPassword if you are capturing it. This would weaken the security added by hashing the password.

Ludovic.

Not saving preferences after change in music folder

I've successfully moved the Itunes location (folder) before on my laptop, changing the place where music was stored, but I had major problems getting that IBM Thinkpad to work with my brand new Ipod. So I brought the external hard drive back down to my old PC. So here's what happens. I follow all the directions for making that external drive my Itunes folder location (Edit-Preferences-Advanced-Change folder, etc) but then the next time I start up the program, it has reverted back to C:.../mymusic/itunes. Very frustrating and I have no idea why. It didn't happen on the other computer.
A similar problem is that on the laptop, I did not have to keep signing in to the Itunes store, now I do. Again, Itunes seems to forget every change from it's last session. Any ideas
