HT201407 Can not get passed the screen where it asks me for Apple ID and password

Dear Apple,
     My father and I recently switched our phones because he needed a better phone for business. I now restored the phone and i can not get passed the screen where i need his Apple ID and Passcode. The problem with this is that it would be easy if i knew the Apple ID and password, but my father does not remember any sort of info about his Apple ID or password! Please help me ASAP! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day for me.
Sincerely, Paresh

Do not post your personal information on a public thread - not a good idea.
If your father does not remember his Apple ID that he set up iCloud and Find My iPhone with, have him go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve the Apple ID.
Then follow the prompts to reset the password.
If he doesn't remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to have them reset:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you know the Apple ID and the password, you will be able to proceed.
Cheers,
GB

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • I used the wrong password for my belkin wifi. Now that I know the correct password I can not get pass the unable to connect or join message. I have turned off all the options such as wifi and join and also put my touch to sleep.. but nothing seems to work

    I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message.  I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page.  Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password.  I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that?  Thanks for any input anyone has.

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

  • Can not get pass opening screen, help please!!

    First off, when I tried to turn of my emac earlier this evening it took a few tries. Then when I went to turn it back on, it got to the opening white screen, with the grey apple in the middle but would not go any further. I tried a few more times, with the same results, white screen, grey apple, no farther.
    Any help will be much appreciated, I thank you in advance!!

    You can also try to Start Up in Safe Mode, with one important warning: once it gets to the gray screen / Apple logo stage, walk away and leave it be for at least a half hour! When a Mac shuts down improperly (power failure, errors on shutdown, multiple force restarts before completing startup), on next start it will attempt to run a faceless variant of the Repair Disk utility in the background. Depending on the size of the hard drive, the amount stored on it, the processor speed, and the amount if any of damage detected, this can take anywhere from 5 minutes to over 30 minutes. If the process is interrupted and the Mac restarted or shut down, then it tries again from the beginning on the next start. This can obviously put you in a vicious loop if you're not aware of what it's trying to do.
    Since the Safe Mode disc repair is faceless, you don't get any immediate feedback as to any errors being turned up. It's better to follow cosmichobo's advice and use the OS X Install disc to run Disk Utility from the Installer menu; that will let you see what's going on. Note that if any errors are reported repaired by Disk Utility/Repair Disk, you should immediately run it again --- it's possible for one disc error to mask others.
    Another option would be to boot the Mac into single user mode and use the Unix file system check utility fsck (if you're not adverse to using the Unix command line prompt). Refer to Using Disk Utility and fsck for detailed instructions.

  • I haven't used my desktop iMac in a long time and can't get pass the opening login...I thought I remembered my password, but, apparently not.  How do I change it.  I don't THINK I have a "master password" on the thing.  I've never used one on any of

    I haven't used my IMac in a long time and went to boot it up, and I find I don't remember the correct username and password (I use several computers..I try to keep the passwords similar, with a number for the chronological order in which I started using them) I've tried all the others I use for passwords. The 'hint" keeps coming up for the password I am pretty sure is the correct one, but, still cannot get in.  I also don't remember whether I changed my surname on the computer...it was changed legally a little while ago, but some of my older devices still have my birth-name in there)
    HELP
    I don't think I ever set up a "master password" on the thing...I never use those.  I am the only person with access to my personal devices.
    thanks

  • HT201210 itunes says that i need to unlock my ipod because it cannot access it but i can not get past the screen on the ipod which says to plug it into itunes? and help plz?

    itunes carnt update me ipod?

    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.

  • I can not get passed the security questions when I try to make a purchase.  I don't have a reset security questions icon

    How do I bypass the security questions to purchase with itunes.  I never answered them in the first place.  I don't have a reset security questions at the bottom of the page either

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • TS4002 I can no longer view icloud emails from my 4s iphone. I can sign into icloud from a computer and view emails. when I click mail icon on my phone, I then press icloud icon, and it asks me for Apple ID and password. Once I enter my info, it states my

    I can't view my icloud emails from my 4s any more. I can log into incloud and view them though. Mt icloud credentials have already been added to my phone and I previously could view them.
    Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail Off, then after a few seconds turn it back on.  This deletes, then adds back your iCloud email account.  (You won't lose any email by doing this.)  Then test your account again.

  • HT4623 Can not get pass Term and Conditions page after upgrade?

    Can not get pass the Terms and Conditions page after upgrade?

    Restart your phone and if that doesn't help, reboot the device.
    Restart the iPhone by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPhone by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the phone start up.

  • IOS6 upgrade issue. error message "could not sign in could not communicate with server when attempting to log in with apple id and password. Any ideas?

    To finish the upgrade setup, can't get past the screen where you need to log in with your apple id and password.  Error message appears "could not sign in" "Could not communicate with the server."  Tried a reboot, but that didn't work or get us anywhere either.

    Go to Settings then down to Facebook then select account then delete account and select remove info and re enter your user name and password and then it will work again

    How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
    Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.

    i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

    Hi Spookola,
    I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.
