Trying to delete keychain password for airport

when i delete both the passwords for my airport, the basestation one and the network one it still doesnt ask me for my password when i log in to my wireless network anyone know why

Storing the password on the computer does not increase the inherent safety of your network other than allowing access through your computer. If you are worrying about idle hands on your computer, you should either log out of your account, or put a password on your screen saver.

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 3
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Setup on new iMac, asking for a Keychain Password for com.apple.smig

I am doing setup on new iMac, we have the old iMac asking for a Keychain Password for com.apple.smig.
Does anyone know what this is? What is it looking for?

Has anyone else figured this out? I'm getting it on every machine I upgrade and I have about 18 more to go and would like to fix it.
These are brand new iMac's shipped with Mountain Lion. I turn them on and the third screen asks if you want to transfer items from a backup or another Mac. I choose another Mac. Then use Migration Assistant on the users old machine (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and then let it transfer all of their files.
At just about the end of the transfer the new Mac pops up this error and waits until an action is taken. I've tried every password it could have been on the previous users machine to no avial. The only option appears to be hitting cancel and movi ng on but I'd like to know what is breaking when this happens becase the machines exhibit a strange spinning wheel hang when logging in afterwards?
Here's a screen shot of the new iMac and the problem:
Thanks!

I am trying to recover my password for my second apple id.

I apparently have two apple id's. I am trying to recover the password for the second id. When i go through "iforgot" i am asked for my birthdate but then i am told the birthdate entered is not accurate so i cant get past that screen. Also when i try to have it emailed to me, i never receive it. I know the id is valid because i use the id on some of my other apple products. If i do a search for the id i only get the infor for the promary (first) apple id. Thanks for your help.

Have you looked in the spam folders for the email?

Go to the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or call the AppleCare support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team...either can help you reset your questions/answers.

im trying to change my password for my apple id but its says that my account has been disabled for security reasons, how can i solve this problem?

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Airport Utility asks for Password for Airport Extreme. Whaaa?

Found "Airport Utility" at Apple site today, and updated from "Airport Admin. Utility."
To do anything, it requests a password. Never had one or set one up for the Airport Extreme.
In Airport Utility, I tried resetting it and using "public" as the password, but that didn't work. I tried reconfiguring it and establishing the password through Airport Admin. and that didn't work.
At Airport Utility, it says I need to update from firmware 5.6 to 5.7, but I"m not sure if I'll just be mucking up the works if I can't go beyond the opening window without a password.
Anybody know how to work around this problem, please?

I suggest that you perform another "hard" reset of your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). It may take a few tries to make it "stick." This type of reset will erase the wireless encryption password and reset the base station administrator's password to the default: public.
If you are still being asked for a password and "public" does not work, you may need to go into the Keychain Utility to erase any previous passwords for your AEBS.

How can i delete keychain data for all users on my Mac Server?

We have 2 Mac servers on our windows network and user passwords change every 30 days to keep up with security. How can i stop keychain asking for the users old passwords or get it to update with the change of password?

Hello,
First you have to create a new folder or 2/3, om My Mac... Mail>Mailbox>New Mailbox...> Loacation>On My Mac.
Highlight the eMails & drag to the new box(es), if IMAP Mail will try downlodaing them again.
If POP & Remove fron Server when downloaded it won't.
Quit Mail after the move, log into gMail Webmail via a browser & delete what you wish.
PS. Even though you delete everything in gMail, google keeps copies for themselves & the NSA, just you cannot see them.

Need to set up password for airport express with belkin pre-N router

I can't figure out how to set up a WEP password for my wireless network at home. I tried setting it up using the AirPort Admin Utility, but no base station appeared on the menu. I'm using a Belkin Pre-N router. Any recommendations out there?

The AirPort Admin Utility is ONLY for use with Apple's base stations.
You will need to follow the directions in the Belkin's User Guide about using a web browser to change the configuration of the router and enable wireless encryption. If all of your equipment supports WPA, use WPA (with a non-dictionary password) instead of WEP.

Setting up a password for Airport access

I am trying to set up a WEP password for the computer that our kids use to limit their internet access. What I want Airport to do is to require a password EVERY time the computer wakes up or is turned on. I can set up the password, but once its entered one time, it is remembered by the kid's computer and there is no need to re-enter it again. How can I require a password each time Airport is accessed?

This is not possible without changing the password every time.
The easiest solution is to unplug the internet connection from the Airport base station and plug it in as and when they need internet access.
You may want to consider getting the new Airport Extreme.
http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/security.html
A useful new access control feature lets you decide not only who accesses your network but also when they can access it. If you’ve got kids with their own computers, for example, you can control the times they’re allowed to access the network. They can have accounts that are available only at certain hours of the day — for example, when you can be home to keep an eye on them.
