Hi Simon, Go to http://AppleID.apple.com. Find the "Manage My Apple ID button, you can use the "b" quick nav key. Next you will be asked for your Apple ID and Password. Here you have links under each for "Forgot my Apple ID" and for "Forgot my password". If you click "Forgot my Password", you will next be asked to enter your Apple ID which would be theemail you used when you signed up and you will then be asked to click next to reset your password. After you click Next, you have the following 2 choices:
Reset your password You can change or reset the password for your Apple ID account by providing some information. Select your authentication method. Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the address(es) on file for you. Answer security questions: To access your information, you will need to answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID. The 2 choices, email authentication and answer security questions are radio buttons, select the one you want and click Next. Since you said you didn't get an email I suggest you try the second method, of course you would have to remember the answers you provided. I think it's likely that maybe you used a different email, but only you would know that (or not) *smile*. If this doesn't work you might want to call Apple and see if they can help you. They might be able to reset it by asking you about the credit card on file for verification or something like that, but that's just a guess. If you don't know your security questions and are able to gain access in a different way I highly recommend you change the security questions and answers to something you can remember. You can just go to the above link once you are able to log in and do that. There also is a place where you can specify an alternative email address, maybe you did that and the password reset email was sent to that? I think nowadays with so many passwords, security questions and answers and so on there is great value in good password programs. I personally use Roboform Everywhere. It costs me $20 a year (I think it's $75 or something like that if you prepay it for 5 years) and this stores my passwords on the secure Roboform server. Here you have a user name (not your email, but one you choose) and a password to log in and you also have a Master Password which you use to unlock passcards or SafeNotes in the Roboform application on the PC or in the app on the iPhone. The app is very accessible, but you can't automatically copy a password to the clipboard, but you can show/reveal the password once you put in your Master Password and then just use the new 3-finger quadruple tap to copy it after Voiceover reads it. The app also has its own browser and you can auto login from the app this way. I also very much like and heavily use the SafeNotes feature where I have dozens of Notes with answers to security questions, log-in information, credit card numbers and so on. If you just want to write down anything that's not sensitive information you can just uncheck the "Protected" box and the note will be stored without the need for the Master Password. Of course all my Passcards and SafeNotes and Bookmarks (another feature) do sync between all my computers and the iPhone. If I install a new computer I just download the program, enter my credentials during the installation and 30 seconds later all my information is there. I know there are other such programs but I have been using Roboform for many years and in this case for me it's one of those "why fix it if it ain't broke" things.
