How to Open Email Paper Clips
Open your email program and open the email that contains the attachment. There may be a small paper clip icon next to the email in the list. That one is just to tell you there is an attachment on the email, but you will need to open the email first to access the attachment.
Click the large paper clip icon on the individual email. The attachment may be sent through a virus scanner before becoming available, so you may need to wait a little bit before it opens. If you already have a program that can view it, it should open up. If you receive a warning such as 'blocked' or 'malicious program,' you shouldn't open it, because there is a danger of a virus. If you receive an error stating 'Windows can't open this file...' then you may need additional software or to set an association.
Look under the error message for the full file name of the attachment. The extension, or the part ofter the '.', will cue you in on the type of program required. .Jpg, .gif, .png, .jpeg and .tif require a graphics program. .Doc and .docx requires Microsoft Word or Open Office. .Xls requires Excel or Open Office. If in doubt, you can search Google for the extension to gain insight as to its requirements. Use the format '.ABC extension' in your search.
Click the circle next to 'Select a program from a list of installed programs' and click 'OK.'
Click the appropriate program, such as a graphics program, word processor, etc, and click 'OK' to open the file with the selected program. If you don't see the program, you can click 'Browse' to locate it manually in a Windows Explorer type setting. If you check 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' then Windows will remember your settings and use them next time it encounters the same file extension.
Associate a file type manually in Windows 7 by clicking the Start orb, typing 'Make a file type always open in a specific program' and pressing Enter. On the resulting screen, you can select the file extension and click 'Change program' at the top to change the associated program, similar to the previous step. This is also useful if you accidentally associate an inappropriate program with an extension.

How to Find Forgotten Passwords on Mac (8 Steps)
Open the Finder on your Mac.
Go to the 'Applications' folder.
Click on the 'Utilities' folder.
Double-click on 'Keychain Access.' The window that pops up has just about every site you've visited that has a password associated with it.
Type the website URL (Web address) in the Spotlight search bar in the upper-right corner. You can just use the part between the www and the top-level domain (for example, .com, .net, .gov).
Double-click the site name once you find the site you need. A dialog box will pop up with the information for this site. The information here includes the login name, the site URL and what kind of password it is.
Click the checkbox next to Show Password on the Attributes tab of the dialog box that pops up on your screen.
Type in your Keychain password and click 'Always Allow' or 'Allow Once' to see your password for this site. It's highly recommended that you click on 'Allow Once' so you have control over who sees your passwords. Your Keychain password is usually the one you use to log in to your Mac or the one you set when you first got your computer. Once you hit 'Allow Once,' the password will show up in the Show Password text field.
