    It will work definitly. But turn off the phone first and make sure you push all three buttons tight and turn on the phone. You have to keep them pressed until handshaking logo or pin enter is appear. I have use it so many time since my beloved 6600.

  • HT4946 if my phone is disabled, how can I restore to get rid of a passcode

    If my phone is disabled, how can I restore to get rid of a passcode that was entered by mistake.

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
    Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

  • HT4528 how do i restore factory settings?

    How do i restore factory settings?  when i hit reset all, it asks for my password, then says verification failed - the request timed out.  It's the right password, so i don't know why it's saying that.  Also says that when I try to turn off "Find My Phone"
    Very frustrating

    Reset time. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds for your iPad to start on it's own.

    my iphone is disabled. how do I restore it?

    You'll have to use a computer to restore your phone. If you hold down the home button while plugging your phone into your computer itunes should recognize that it is in recover mode. Then you'll have to restore the phone as new.

  • Locked out of phone, can't restore factory settings

    my iPhone 4 is seized up and I can't restore because it won't let me enter my passcode. This occurred after I accidentally enabled the voice-over and tried to turn that function off. After repeatedly turning phone off, then on, it still occurs. The voice-over remains on, and when I try to enter my passcode, it doesn't take my input unless I tap the number several time until the field/cell is populated.  Once I enter all cells with my passcode, the phone says that the code is incorrect and locks me out for progressively longer periods.  Since I can't unlock the phone, I'm unable to restore factory settings.  Of course I would like to not have to do this since I don't want to lose all the data on my phone.  Does anyone know how i can unlock the phone and/or restore it? 

    Thank You very Much sir. it works on my iphone 4.

  • How do I restore factory settings on my MacBook Air?

    I have sold my MacBook Air (bought in August 2011) and I need to restore factory settings.  Can someone please help?

    As quoted from apple member Kappy
    Boot from the Recovery HD by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and "R" keys until the computer starts from the Recovery HD. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    At this point all your data are securely removed. You can shut down the computer or reinstall Lion from the main menu.
