WiFi password problem (keychain problem?)

Hi
I have a iPod Touch 4th gen. Recently, to make a long story short,I forgot my passcode and after a few minutes on the internet I ended up deleting the +keychain db+ file on my ipod. Luckily I made a copy of the keychain file and it is on my desktop now. But now all my passwords (mail,itunes,wifi,etc.) are not on my ipod anymore, but I cannot access wifi, even though I put in the correct password. Could I put the old keychain file back onto my ipod to get my data back? How?.... Any other solutions?

the keychain.db (data base file) is a storing file and anyway how'd you delete it, it's in the system area for the ipod; it's like deleting a car suspension systemwhile the car is moving.
if you locate the file and put the old one back in, it should work otherwise you might need to hard reset,or if your luckey a resore will work.
hope i helped.

  • Lost Admin Password - now Keychain problems after resetting pass.

    So I was unable to login to OS X Lion 10.8.4, following the instruction here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5118960
    So I followed the instructions there, restarted, and was prompted and allowed access to the Admin account, however now I am being asked for Keychain access, something called Messages Agent, etc. and no matter how many times I click Cancel (because it's the old password I do not know) it just comes back.
    What do I do now?

    From the linked article.
    If the login password was reset because the user forgot the old password, the keys, passwords, and other information in the keychain will not be accessible, andthe user will need to create a new keychain.

  • I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain.

    I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain. What can I do so that I can connect other devices to my Wifi?

    Read the router's user manual on how to change your password.
    If you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure it out.  Print it out & keep in a safe place.  A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.

  • WRT110 WIFI password problem

    Hi Everyone,
    I've got a very strange problem.  First, I indicated WPA under Wireless Security section and typed in my passphrase.  However when connecting to my wireless network name my passphrase never worked.  Second, I completely disabled security and tried to simply connect without any passphrase, but I was still being asked for a passphrase nonetheless.  I checked and double-checked and saved settings making sure security was disabled, but I was still being asked for a passphrase when choosing my wireless network!
    I could probably restore my WRT110 to factory settings, however I don't want to loose other configurations like certain open ports and IP addresses I opened up for firewall.
    Is there a way for me to resolve my WiFI password problem without restoring to factory default?  I just need to figure out how to make the WiFi passpharse work.  Here's what I have there:
    Security Mode: WPA Personal
    Encryption: TKIP
    Passphrase: 0sunspot0
    Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
    However, when I pick my wireless network and try to connect to it by typing in 0sunspot0, I get authentication failure!
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Victor.
    Solved!

    I have misplaced all relevant info. for my router.  I am trying to connect to a mini ipad.  What do I need?
    Is the router up and running and you would only want to add a device wirelessly? If so, you may access the setup page as sabretooth has said. To check the wireless settings, you may check this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=476326f36c294e579ba6691a8db5411e_3698.xml&pid=80&r...

  • TA48312 ipad 2 wifi password problem

    i have problem with my apple ipad 2 wifi password ...i use itunes latest and win xp 2   HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP ME

    I too have had this problem with both iPhone and iPad dropping my wifi network and now neither are able to join the network again. This has only occurred since the last iOs update. had problems with them dropping the network in the middle of something, but was usually able to reconnect after powerdown and reboot, now neither will reconnect.
    Apple support says it's my router and modem, or my password is wrong. Nope, not those as my wii, desktop and roomie's laptop all connect just fine. The devices see the network, but are unable to join.
    I am thinking this is a software/iOS issue.

  • I am unable to enter a £ symbol in a wifi password has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?

    I am unable to enter a £ symbol to a wifi password has anyone had  similar problem and found a solution?

    On the US keyboard, it's option + 3.
    However, when I try to enter that combination in Mail 4.4 or the Safari 5.0.5 browser, it is apparently has some reserved function and opens another window. It does seem to produce the correct character in Firefox 4.01
    If possible, I'd suggest changing the WiFi password so that it does not included any 'reserved' keystrokes.

  • Wifi keychain problems

    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks I've had keychain problems with my home network and other friend's wifi networks. It says "Keychain 'system' cannot be found to store 'my network name'." The option is "cance" or "reset to default." I've done a reset but that doesn't work. If I hit "cancel" then it asks me if I want to run diagnostics, which does nothing, or to cancel. If I hit cancel for a second time then the wifi works, but it does this to me everytime I wake up the computer.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this bug? It's quite annoying on a daily basis

    anyone?
    thanks

    My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it.
    I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.
    Is there anything I can do other than Resetting the entire computer and re installing all of the software, apps, etc.etc.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    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 and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
    If you use iCloud Keychain, 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.

  • IPad WiFi password problem fixed by switching to 128-bit encryption

    Upon waking, my iPad would often prompt me to re-enter my WiFi password, or simply say that it wasn't connected to the internet.
    I was using an old D-Link Router with 64-bit WEP encryption. After talking to a senior support tech, I switched the WEP to 128-bit and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
    This is still a bug, because if you're in some random hotel, you can't change the router settings. But this workaround may help until a patch is released.

  • Wifi password problem

    I am staying in the same hotel suite from a few months ago, but the wife password for my room is different.  My MacBook Air is unable to connect to the wife router because I don't know how to change the old password.  Any ideas?

    Try the following: click on the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar, the Open Network Preferences, then Advanced, then on the name of the network, then the minus icon below. That will delete the network and you should then be able to join using the new password.

  • IPad 2. Wifi password problems

    Hi. Have iPad 2. And keeps forgetting wifi password eg when I go to work and then return I have to re enter the home wifi password.  Any ideas?

    No - just off line at work.  It seems to occur when I go out of coverage of the home wifi and then back when it won't log on automatically.  I have a BlackBerry which manages just fine to recognise the home wifi and log on.  It works when unsecurred but obviously I don't want that.  I am using WEP at home.
    I seem to recall my iMac did this for a while then randomly stopped.

  • Wifi password problems

    I'm having trouble accessing the option to enter wifi password at work. After I accidentally put in the wrong password for wifi, I receive message "unable to join the network..." How do I  regain access to enter wifi password?

    If you click on the i (info) icon for that wifi connection, you'll be able to "forget" that connection.  After that, you can reselect it from available networks and enter the correct password.

  • System keychain problem (2 system keychains)

    This issue is not new but I have seen no resolution.
    I have a wifi with a password. I can use the wifi but can't remember the security password that I created for it. I went to Keychain Access to see it, and found the wifi listed in the "System" keychain. There are two "System" keychains, with identical contents, which seems odd. When I open the wifi item in the "System" keychain and click on "show password" it asks me for the "keychain password" which it then does not accept. The "keychain password" (or what I set up as the "keychain password") works on the "login" keychain and also an auxiliary keychain I created to store other passwords--there is no problem in revealing the information for these logins/passwords, using my usual passwords--the only problem is on the "System" keychain. My login password for my account is different from my keychain password, but this has not previously caused a problem. How can I get to this wifi password? What is going on with the System keychain, which seems to have created for itself a new, unknown password? Thanks.

    OK, figured it out. My wife and I have had the same passwords since we turned on the computer, BUT, I had originally been the admin. A while back, for security, we decided to create a separate account for the admin, (with a new password, obviously), and remove admin privileges for my account.
    So, just now, I logged into the admin account and opened keychain access, and there was the wifi device right on the top of the list, no "system" keychain present. I clicked on the "show password" box on the wifi item and the password was revealed. No "keychain password" or any other password requested. Very odd, and still no idea why the "system" keychain is so crazy or why there are two of them, but I'll take it. Thanks for your responses and ideas.

  • Mail and Keychain Problem

    I would like to refer to the problem of Mail asking multiple (50 plus) a day for the passwords for POP accounts. The question has been posted a couple of times here and a dozens of times in other forums. Nobody was able to give an answer. If nobody has an answer to a software problem, then it is normally called a bug.
    The simple question to Apple: When will you fix this bug? It makes Mail basically unusable.
    Regards

    sorry to have not provided details, as everybody I know has this problem. and a couple of others-:)

    they all relate to exactly the same problem and they have been asked in the last 4-5 days in this forum and no solution has been offered. The last time I looked for an answer was 4 weeks ago and the ratio of asked questions (this question) and no answers was the same. I have seen this question in all other Mac user forums and no solution has been offered there as well. This has let me to the hypothesis, that it is a bug.
    ok the details:
    I have 5 POP accounts on my mac and one .Mac account. The .Mac never has a problem, but the POP accounts ask for the password randomly, sometimes twice a minute. This must happen when Mail checks with the respective mail server for new messages. The problem has popped up half a year ago, I believe when Tiger got introduced. We are five people in our office and everybody has this problem, at work and at home and with 6 different providers.
    Even if you check the box, "Save password in Keychain" it happens again. You can avoid this by closing Mail and just opening it when you check for new mail every couple of hours, or you can hit the button "Connect to Internet" in Mail. If you are lucky all the POP accounts get downloaded.
    I have tried the Keychain fixes, everything that got posted as possible fixes. Nothing worked.
    Help would be appreciated.
