How do I recover time capsule password?
I am trying to restore my computer completely using my time machine time capsule and I need the password, which I forgot.
MacBook Pro with Retina display
About 3 years ago, Apple began to use the same password for both the wireless network and the Time Capsule base station. Did you try to use the wireless network password?
If no luck, do you have another Mac there that has connected to the Time Capsule in the past to back up, or store other data on the Time Capsule hard drive?
We ask, because that Mac may have stored the password for the Time Capsule, which might be retrievable through AirPort Utility.
If you do not have another Mac....do you have an iPhone or iPad that you might have used in the past with AirPort Utility installed on the device?
If none of the above will work......what device will you use to try to reset the password for the Time Capsule? What operating system is it running?
