Is the password for the computer itself (the one required when you want to, for example, install software updates) different from your Apple I.D. password? What happens if you've forgotten the computer-specific password - can it be re-set?

In order to make my wireless internet network secure, I added a password to it today. Every other computer in the house, as well as my XBox 360, is able to connect to the internet using the password that I set up. For some reason, when I try to connect to my Macbook, it tells me that the password is wrong, yet it works with the other 3 computers in my house. What am I missing? Do I need to change my settings on Airport? My wireless router is obviously working so what do I need to do?

I just bought a new macbook pro and used my time machine disk. All went fine until a message appeared that a device was incorrectly ejected. I clicked the message away and the transfer seemed to continue althpugh it suddenly needed twice the time as before the message. At a certain stage it asked for my apple password (as used o my old machine which i was tranferring to the new one) but Now it doesnt accept my apple password anymore so i am stuck!! I am sure the password is correct. This thing is extra cruel as i had to buy the new one abroad after i was robbed at the airport. Luckily i always travel with my harddisk with backups from time machine but despit this i cant use my new macbook pro because of the above trouble.

I created a mess by changing my user password. OS X 10.9.3. Forgot the new password. When I went to log on, It said I could use my Apple ID to change it again, but I would lose the passwords on my keychain. Which would have been fine. Except now I can't do anything at all on the laptop, getting pop up after pop up saying "a keychain cannot be found to store...". And other pop ups. I'm completely jammed up.

I have forgotten my mac pro user password and can't seem to follow instructions for changing it.Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.When I try to do this the arrow doesnt take me anywhere. I just return to the original field asking me for the password I don't remember.

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!!!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a Mac-mini running OS X Tiger. I've got one admin account setup and 5 or so standard accounts. I'm configuring a connection to a shared folder on a network server on the standard accounts and I wanted to connect to that share using an account id that is DIFFERENT than the standard account id. I enter that id and the correct password and I check "save password in keychain" (or whatever that check box says) and I get prompted to enter the "keychain password" to unlock the keychain. The problem is, I never setup a keychain password for the standard user account. I'v tried the password for the administrator account (even though I can't specify the admin id anywhere) and I've tried the password for the standard user account, neither of which work.
However, I can still get successfully connected to the shared folder. I just don't want the user to have to enter the password each time they login.
Additionally, after going through this, Safari is now asking for a keychain password for the "login" keychain when it first starts up and loads the default Apple.com home page.
