MacBook Pro :: Enter Password For Email Account But Cannot Remember
Apr 2, 2012
For some reason each time I go into my email I am being asked the following. Enter password from Account ".mac". How do I find out my password if I have forgotten it?
I first synced it via Mobile Me and when the password wouldn't save, I deleted the comcast email account and started fresh but it still keeps asking for password. I know I have the correct password inserted because I went to the web site email and logged in with the same password I'm using in Mail.
Every 10 minutes I get a pop up window that reads, "To synchronize your keychain on this computer, enter the password for your user account on..." then it says the name of my macbook pro. My problem is that I type in the password but another window comes up rejecting it, claiming my password is incorrect....which isn't true.
Everytime I wake my computer from sleep, I get a pop-up message asking me to re-enter my password for my iCloud account. I click "remember this password in my keychain" and hit okay, but it still asks me every single time. What gives?
I went ahead and moved my mobileme account to icloud and since I did that my email going to my [url].. and [url].. addresses rejects my password. I have changed everything I can think to change and read every help topic I can find on the subject and performed every fix they have suggested. I have to have access to this account as it is my primary email address for my non-profit organization!
Im using company's MAC OSX 10.6.8 and the administrator account is locked and now how to trace back the password?What should i do?If I had install email,printer etc. softwares & if I reset the password, would the all software gone?
How do I reset my macbook pro administration password if I can't remember the password or inadvertently typed it incorrectly when updating my settings?
I have had a Macbook for 3 years and have used Mac Mail extensively throughout where it has stored almost every email address I ever need in it's memory so that when I start typing it fills in the options of all the people with that email address. These are obviously not all stored in my Address Book.Well I just bought a new Macbook Pro (loving it!) and of course the Mail app does not have all those email addresses. Is there a way to export them from my old Macbook?
I have changed my apple ID username/email address online, and now all of my devices are asking for the password to my old account. I can't find the way to log in with my new username. Is there a way i can update my apple id on all of my different devices?
Trying to do a system update on my macbook and it keeps asking for a password. I can't remember it, any way to find out what it is or how to reset it? (This is not my Apple ID)
I am trying to uninstall Virex 7.5. I have got the Terminal uninstall command which opens Terminal. So far, so good. However, Terminal is asking me for my admin password but it's not allowing me to enter it. The cursor is not blinking it's just a solid black oblong - just bl**dy sitting there! Absolutely no response to any key except the enter key - then terminal helpfully says, 'Sorry, try again' What's going on? I just wanna get rid of Virex!!!
Yes I know other people have posted this and gotten the answer that you just put it ion anyways and you wont see it come up but it works. Well I do not actually have a password set so usually I just hit enter with it blank but when I do that in Terminal it says sorry wrong password or something until I hit the 3rd try and it boots me.
My keyboard works but when i try to enter my password to get into my administrator account it doesnt work If i go into my guest account my keyboard works?
Trying to figure out why it is that I have to constantly enter my password for my Mail accounts when sending and receiving. It's not consistent. All passwords are part of my keychain so I don't get it.
So this morning I changed my OS X password and didn't write it down anywhere. It was something pretty random, and I don't know if I'd even recognize it if I thought of it. I know, I know, I'm an idiot and didn't do anything right here. I'm the only user on this computer, don't have a master password set up, and don't have my install disc for another month and a half (due to my AmeriCorps program I'm moving around a lot and didn't bring it traveling with me). Is there anything I can do short of taking it to an Apple Store?
