password failure

So this has now happened in about 2 weeks' time. I came home after being gone a week, started up my MacBook Pro and it refused to log me in using the same password I always had been. I was forced to reboot and log in with my Apple ID and password in order to reset the mac's password for log...

After the last update to iOS 14, my iPhone doesn’t recognise my password. I tried with support, sent my info to validate that I’m the original owner and I’m still on the waiting list to revive my password. It’s been two months today and they can’t give me a solution. So, I thought I could erase...

Hi, I'm a new newbie. In advance I'm asking for forbearance as I am really not too sure of how to describe the situation I'm having trouble solving. I have a 2+ year old iMac with 10.13.6. All was fine (I do also have parallels and Windows 10 on it) on the iOS side until I decided to change...

I obtained a Mac Mini my place of work was planning to otherwise throw away. It's an A1347 with three accounts at the login, none of which I have the password for (I already tried the usual ones we use at work) so I plan on going back and asking for one of the passwords, but chances that someone...

Hello all, I am currently having a strange issue with my username and password. I am working on a late 2009 iMac running High Sierra. I wanted to change the username "User" and the password "password". So I went in to the user and groups, unlocked the settings, right clicked advance setting...

Hello, I tried to change the name of my admin user (the only user I have). It failed, and now it won't recognize neither the old user name nor the new, so I'm locked out of the user and can't install new programs. What should I do?

My office uses an AirPort Extreme for our WiFi network. We've been having problems for months. At first, it was simply dropping altogether. No one could access it. No one could even find it. It was still solid green status light. Now, it boots users from the network, requests a new...

I go to appleid.apple.com and when I try to log in with my Apple ID and password, I immediately get "Unable to Verify your identity. Please try again." even before two-factor authentication. When I try logging in with an incorrect password, I get "Your Apple ID or password was incorrect." It's...

Hi, I have different questions that are probably linked to the same problem. Last night when turning on my laptop, i had an unusual login request where it asked my login and password, and couldn't recognize my usual password. I have then searched the forum to look for similar problems and...

I have a 2016 MacBook Pro 13" with Touch Bar. I have this machine set to require a password IMMEDIATELY after I make it go to sleep (using the Sleep menu item under the File menu). I then close the lid. After 5 minutes or after 5 hours, if I then open the lid, the laptop will open up and let...

Has anyone noticed this problem? Every time I open my laptop from sleep since I've updated Sierra, I've had to input my password twice in order for it to be accepted. I know that I'm not entering it wrong (my password is 2 characters so it's pretty hard to mess up) -- it seems to just not want...

Hello! I've been having password problems for the past month or so. I first noticed that I couldn't update Flash because the installer rejected my system password. Today I tried to solve the problem, looking online for fixes, but nothing has worked so far. 1) Tried to reset my password on...

One of my ISP email POP accounts has suddenly started asking for my password on every get or send email. I am using 10.11.2 since release and this has suddenly happened although I have not installed software or made any system changes. After reading numerous reports and suggestions i.e.deleting...
