[Fix] Windows 8 and 8.1: Easy fix for when you have forgotten your password.

Don't worry, It happens to everyone at some point. ;-)
If you are running Windows 8 or 8.1 you may be able to reset your password from another PC on the Microsoft website. This only works if you use a live account. If you do, you can access the password reset here: Microsoft Password Reset.
If you use a local account you can reset the password in the Command Prompt by following these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Turn on the PC and start repeatedly tapping F11 right away until it prompts you for your keyboard layout.
Select your keyboard layout.
Select Troubleshoot.
Select Advanced Options.
Select Command Prompt.
Type the following into command prompt: copy c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe c:\
Press enter and it should confirm that 1 file was copied.
Type the following into command prompt: copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe
Confirm by pressing Y and hitting enter.
Close the command prompt and select Turn off your PC.
Turn on the PC.
Click the Ease of Access icon in the bottom left hand corner of the login screen. You will now notice that the icon will now open the command prompt instead of Ease of Access options.
In this command prompt window type: net user "yourusername" "yournewpassword" (without the quotes). NOTE: The username should show on the login screen, and is typically your name. If you're having trouble type net user and hit enter to see a list of users on the PC. For example, for me the actual command I would type would be: net user greatdekutree password123
Close the command prompt.
Log in with the password you chose for step 13. VOILA!
Now that you're back in we should get your Ease of Access settings back. It's pretty much the same few steps we did before but switch the commands:
Shut down the computer.
Turn on the PC and start repeatedly tapping F11 right away until it prompts you for your keyboard layout.
Select your keyboard layout.
Select Troubleshoot.
Select Advanced Options.
Select Command Prompt.
Type the following into command prompt: copy c:\utilman.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe
Confirm by pressing Y and hitting enter.
Close the command prompt and select Turn off your PC.
I would also suggest that you create a password backup reset disc or USB drive now that you're back in Windows. See here for help with this: How to Create a Password Reset Disk on a USB Flash Drive in Windows 8 and 8.1.

Thank you both for your help...I have two questions related to this problem. The first one is do I lose any functionality by moving to the basic setting? That question is more out curiousity than anything. I also was reading that sometimes this problem in Windows 8 can be caused by video card drivers not being up to date. Do you all think updating my drivers maybe a good idea before trying the basic fix? I had assumed (bad idea) that because it was a new computer the drives would be up to date but from reading, I learned that is not always the case. Thanks again. Kirsten

How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions?

I've had my IPad for about 2 years now and I have bought a lot of apps since but all of a sudden it asks me to answer my security questions whenever i try to buy an app! I click the link to the apple Id page and it says resend security information to my email. apparently the end of my email ends with yahoo.com and whenever I log on to that it's yahoo.ca and I cannot find the email with the instructions to change my security questions!! So please me as this has never occurred before! How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions? And can you somehow purchase apps without answering your security questions because I just put 25 dollars onto my apple id and I don't want it to go to waste! Please help me!

You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock is from the original computer?

If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock the phone to connect to the original computer? Is there no way to connect to itunes? HELP!

Restoring as a new device means you will loose everything. You can restore from a backup, but if that backup includes the same passcode you cannot remember now, then it will just put it back in place and you will be right back where you are. If the backup does NOT include the passcode currently on the device, you can restore from that backup.
If restoring as new, you will loose any pictures in camera roll not already saved somewhere else (like your computer). You will loose any contacts also not already saved somewhere else.
Once you've restored the iPhone though, you can re-sync the contacts and other content from your backup copies on your computer. iTunes and App store content can always be redownloaded.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have forgotten my password on my iPad

I have forgotten my password on my iPad and have not synced it to my new Macbook Pro before. How should I go about unlocking it if it is not backed up anywhere?

Sadly, you're going to have to restore your iPad as a new device. If you create a password again, make sure you write it down somewhere, as you're going to be starting all over with your device since you never backed it up.
You'll need to connect your iPad to your computer and restore it in iTunes. Below is a link which will walk you through the steps.
