Help! i can't unlock my phone

I updated my iPhone 4 and before i had a the passcode where you can text but after i updated my phone i now have the numbered passcode for some reason.. I'm trying to connect it to my laptop but my laptop doesn't remember my phone so I'm locked out of my phone.

i had a the passcode where you can text

  • HELP! Can't unlock my phone in France

    Hi, I'm new here and I am not happy with Blackberry.  I live in France and bought my Blackberry through SFR.  I am changing operator and want to unlock it.  SFR told me I have to call Blackberry to get a code.  That's nice, but there is NO phone for Blackberry in France that I can find on the web.  Can anyone tell me who I have to call, or should I simply consider this phone as an expensive piece of junk?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    When BBs are purchased through carriers, they are locked to that carrier. The carrier then issues the unlock code -- not RIM. What SFR therefore told you is not quite accurate...and your wrath is, therefore, perhaps misdirected...

  • I tried adding mobile accessibility and now i can't unlock my phone.  Can anyone help?

    Tap Restart phone.
    After  your has phone restarted, a message about the lock screen will be read  aloud. Tap the lock screen at any time to hear the time, date and  notifications read aloud. To unlock your phone, flick the screen up.   (If you have a password, tap any number key to hear that number read  aloud, then double-tap to enter the number as part of your password.)
    If this is the first time you've turned on Mobile Accessibility,  you'll be presented with a training session to help you quickly learn  how to use it. (You can return to the training at any time by  triple-tapping the screen to access the Quick Menu, then selecting Support > Touch Training.) Otherwise, the Mobile Accessibility home screen will load.
    Worse case a hard reset will clear it (you will of course erase the phone)

    My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?

    No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
    I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
    Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
    Thanks.

  • Can't unlock my phone using the correct password

    I can't unlock my phone and I'm using the correct password. I'm at my final attempt to enter the password or ALL of my personal information will be lost!! I just got off of the phone with customer service and was told basically I'm going to lose all my business contacts & personal notes that I entered this morning during my morning meeting and that it's my fault because I didn't back it up!!! How the heck can I back up my device while during my company meeting?? I'm the owner and I have many notes and etc on my device that I put there this morning!!! Now I lose money because I can't get my information. I'm so ticked off right now!!! Customer service wasn't helpful at all...he just blamed me for my problem!! Never mind the fact that the darn phone keeps turning itself on and off randomly!

    i went through that exact experience and what saved me was entering the password, which i knew, on my laptop with the BB connected

  • Can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch

    Hi,
    I can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch. Which means I can't access the calender, recent calls, and the other features on the phone. The only thing I can do is slide the phone when I need to answer a call or send a text. I'm not sure what the problem is.  I also don't want to pull the battery out and re insert it because I think if I do that, my phone will lock up permanently.  Will someone help me please?
    Thanks,
    Mackenzie

    Thanks

    The ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK is Apple retail Stores ( Apple owned )
    all others will be locked to a carrier (did you buy from carphonewarehouse )
    Only the carrier who locked it can unlock the iPhone
    Apple do NOT unlock iPhones
    If you purchased from Apple (the Apple ) then contact the store
    if not it is locked to a carrier
