iMac password problem.

Hello

Initially, English is not my native language, so please forgive me for spelling errors.

My problem is that I can not connect on my iMac. I forgot my Apple ID password and notification on the screen told me that icloud password is used.

That's why I created a new. The new one works on my iPhone, but I still have the problem that I can not connect on my Mac, because the password correct ist requested.

What can I do?

Note: If you have enabled FileVault, this procedure does not apply. Follow rather the instructions on this page, under the heading "If you forget your password."

Start in recovery mode. When OS X Utilities window, select

Utilities ▹ Terminal

in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

In the window that opens, type this:

resetp

Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

resetpassword

Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Close the Terminal window to get him out of the way.

Select the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is turned on.

Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

Follow the prompts to reset the password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9.

Select

▹ Restart 

in the menu bar.

You should now be able to login with the new password, but will reset the keychain (empty). If you have forgotten the password for the keychain (which is normally the same as the password for the connection), there is no way to recover it.

  • Windows 7 password problem: does not recognize password after waking from sleep

    So I have recently buy a netbook with Windows 7 operating system. I create the administrator account and password protect. All right, install software, copy documents, etc. in the "My Documents" folder and happily use the machine for a few days with no problems. Then work off the battery voltage, put the PC in sleep for some time. When I try and log back in after the awakening of the PC, it does not recognize the password. Try with cap locks, off and all the rest, but not luck. I must finally remove the battery and restart. Sign in as normal (the password is recognized) and go in the user administrator account to disable the password, but then again, the current password is not recognized and I am not allowed to make changes. However, I can still close and log on by using the current password. Confused. Anyine have any ideas?

    There is no need to remove the battery or pull the taken when force a PC to stop. By pressing the power button for about ten seconds will do the trick.

    Your password problem: you might be dealing with a foreign keyboard problem. Make the password to something that is independent of the keyboard configuration, for example 123456.

    To reset the administrator password, follow these steps:
    1. click on start.
    2. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    3. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    4. click on "run as Administrator".
    5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
    net localgroup administrators
    (This will show you the accounts that have administrative privileges. What is?)
    NET user administrator 123456
    (This will set the password to 123456)

  • Verification of password problem

    I'm operating an iPad myself using OS 9.3.3. When I try to update the applications on the device, it says that it cannot check the Apple ID and password. The Apple ID and password are valid as I can get into the 'manage... '. "Web page with them. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Close the App Store, sign out of your ID, restart the device, then reconnect and try again.

    To close the App Store application, press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used. Drag to the left to find the application you want to close. Swipe up on the preview of the application to close.

    Go to settings > iTunes and App Store, enter your Apple ID and log out.

    Now restart. To restart, press the power button until the cursor and then drag it to the right to close. Press and hold the power button until you see the logo Apple is reactivated.

    Return to the settings and connect again. Try to update the applications again.

  • Unable to send mail via exchange server with Version 38.0.1 - password problems

    Last week, when my computer desktop auto-upgraded to 38.0.1, he lost the ability to send mail with SMTP. (It always returns an error message saying that the password is not recognized). I went around and with the administration of the server, and they are sure that the problem is on my end. All server settings are correct, according to the administration of the server and, in any case, I do not change them what has worked with earlier versions of this morning, I finally had to restart Thunderbird on my home computer. I tested the Version 31 immediately before restart - it worked. Then I tried the Version 38.0.1 immediately after the restart, - it did not work.

    I have disabled the firewall on the computer, but it made no difference. Both computers running all Windows 64-bit both 8.1; they have two different firewalls.

    I pasted in the troubleshooting information in Thunderbird below.

  • Password problems and the slowness of IMAP with BTYahoo

    After changing POP IMAP, I experience slow responses (including Thunderbird does not) and repeated messages to change my password. My work around is to remove all the password stored in Thunderbird, close and re - open Thunderbird, enter my existing password and get Thunderbird to save him. Also, I have to enter my password when sending emails. After this Thunderbird works well (but very slow to get new emails) for a few days. Then I get a message that my password is not accepted and to enter a new password - which none are accepted. My impression is that this message occurs when Thunderbird updates draft records, sent or deleted from the server. Encryption with the server synchronization problem?
    When things work, on the opening of Thunderbird the new e-mail list is displayed but cannot be opened for some time. During this wait, Thunderbird does not not msg occurs if I try another action such as moving a slider to see an old email.
    Any suggestions on how to solve my problems?

    It turns out that my problem was due to an interaction of the Thunderbird and McAfee antivirus. That has been fixed to be scanned and attached to an incoming mail causing Thunderbird does not Msg. Power analysis of attachment of the fixed e-mail off my problem

  • MBP has changed to new iMac - the problem persists

    Hello ladies and gentlemen!

    I can't believe I'm still having the same problem after a water landing forced my MBP mid-2012 and invest a lot of money in the new iMac. Now I'm sure this is the problem of the El Capitan, not the hardware. Especially after the last update of the system.

    Everything was going fine until last week when my iMac suddenly started to have some kind of hiccups - mouse ceased to answer at any time (100% battery), pages began to load really slow and sometimes only has not at all and Adobe apps began to plant without any particular reason. Nothing has changed and I haven't done anything unusual when it was absolutely new and running like a beast.

    The thing that is interesting to me is the use of the CPU and RAM. (It a few months ago when I had the problem with MBP), I noticed that when you open a page in Safari (any type of page) and let it stay there for a few days it starts to use a LOT of material in the background, even if you have completely forgotten this page and did not open it / refresh it for a long time - screenshots below. Why the hell is happening? I do not understand why Safari does need juice both by the love of God because no matter how much it will be, he will use it. I thought that changing from 8GB to 32GB it will solve the problem. Boy, I was wrong...

    I wonder about these extensions Safari and internet plug-ins.

    Safari, as all browsers, I fear, is a memory hog.

    As a temporary solution, simply exit and restart Safari can mitigate the problem.

  • My Late 2009 27 "iMac has problems and vertical stripes

    Hello friends,

    I'm looking for help with my iMac. A week ago the display began showing scattered pixels and it froze when switching between desktops. At this point, I restarted and the screen came with vertical lines, made of strips of color slightly different at intervals across the screen. There are five of these lines. Sometimes the lines persist through start upward and stay on the screen. Sometimes, they disappear and reappear later. Sometimes my computer freezes with lines and the apple logo and a progress bar. They stay when I boot in safe mode and my bootable backup as well.

    Abdesslem Support recommended a Genius Bar apt. To diagnose the prblem. I took it, by explaining that I thought it was a video card or the issuance of the logic board. Genius Bar says it's probably bad Ram. I went home and started to test the ram. I tried each piece individually and as a couple. I always had problems. I ran Memtest 86 and Rember each for hours at a time and got no errors. I tried to boot into Apple Hardware Test, but it never loaded. The internet says I should boot from my installation discs, which of course, I have more.

    I fear that the cost will be too prohibitive to repair and so far, each local repair company I called said that they repair the vintage iMacs.

    Any advice?

    This is again an iMac 2009 end 27 "with 16 GB of RAM DDR3 1066 Kingston into 4 sticks of 4.

    Try to replace your RAM with all the new RAM. You can check that the CrucialAdvisory tool, or OWC. Both are reliable suppliers. If the new RAM works fine. If not, return it.

  • Admin password problem

    I have a REALLY weird problem all of a sudden. I have only one user (Admin) on my Macbook running El Capitan, and all of a sudden OS X does not recognize my password after login.

    In other words, I can connect fine, but after that whenever I need to use my credentials to allow OS x to perform certain actions (like the moving an application to the trash, or unlock the locking in the preferences system - even change my password), it says that the password is incorrect.

    I tried to change the password via the Recovery Mode, which worked - but once again, until I logged in. I thought it might be a permission problem, but El Capitan has this feature in disk utility, then I tried with a terminal sudo command - but even here it takes a password that does not work.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    You use another Source of input (keyboard language).

    I can see what happens if the login page uses an input Source and your user account uses another.

  • On Tecra A9 BIOS password problem

    My computer laptop Toshiba Tecra A9 have a problem with the BIOS password and I was wondering if you could provide me the password because I can't access anything whatsoever, without it

    BIOS password is very important security feature and these issues cannot be clarified on public forum.
    Any problems with the BIOS password must be clarified with the Toshiba service provider.
    If your laptop is blocked by password and you cannot access, please contact the nearest service Toshiba and they can remove it for you.

  • 2008 iMac - screen problems

    Hi all

    I put my iMac (to 2008) for sleep at night last and this morning when I tried to log in it seemed to have major problems. The screen is all messed up, and it takes some time to open a session. I've not had problems with the system other than a few slow since upgrade to Yosemite. I have turned it off for now.

    Here are some images that I think might help more than me trying it to explain the situation.

    Hello..

    Maybe the graphics card causing distortion.

    If you can, run the Diagnostics from Apple or the Apple Hardware Test
