Apparently I need a 4 number password to reset my phone. How am I supposed to know what it is?

Enter the passcode that is used to unlock the device.
The only other possible code is a restriction passcode which is set by the user.
If the unlock passcode has been forgotten, restore the device via iTunes on the computer that the device is normally synced with.
If the restrictions passcode has been forgotten, restore the device as new.

My daughter has a four number password on her iPod and has forgotten it does anybody know what to do.

My daughter has forgotten pass code on her iPod can anyone help please

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hello Pete from another old guy,
It sounds like you have an older iMac than the 2006 and newer model this forum covers. The problem is that, in 2006, Apple changed from PowerPC to Intel processors and third-party developers soon stopped making new software for the older processors. That's why you cannot upgrade Flash player--the current version requires a Mac the "2006 and later" processor.
However, not having a current version of FlashPlayer should not affect your ability to download. If you try downloading, do you get an error message or does something else happen?
Do you have another web browser like FireFox or Camino on your computer?
but would love to get my MAC back up to date and running right.
Well, "running right" may be doable but "up to date" may not be. You are already at as high a Mac OS level that a pre-2006 Mac can use. We need to pin down your variant to make recommendations. From your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar, do "About this Mac":
That brings up this window:
Let us know what yours say for "processor." The two choices are "PowerPC" as in the example, or "Intel." If you have an Intel processor, you have more options available.
Awaiting your report,
Allan

I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

By coincidence, this happened to my son just last night. You do NOT have to restore it to a new phone, but you probably want a current backup.
Luckily, you can still sync and back it up even if it's locked, so connect it to the computer you usually sync it to. Go to the summary page. It's easiest and fastest to use a local backup, so if iCloud backup is on, turn it off and click "Backup now".
After it backs up, either click "Restore iPhone", or
- hold home and the top button until the screen goes black, release the top and continue to hold the home button until iTunes says "iPhone in recovery mode detected".
Follow instructions to restore from backup, and then sync to restore content. Your phone will come up in an unlocked state. If you have any stuff that was purchased directly to the iPhone (only), you'll have to re-download it.
Remember to turn iCloud backups back on if you use them.
If you don't sync you iPhone to a computer then I *think* those instructions with the buttons will put it into a mode where you can restore it from the cloud (make sure it is NOT connected to a computer while you do this). Otherwise, you will have to restore it as a new phone, then go to settings, reset, then restore it from the cloud.

If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc.

I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for

I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for

Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he cannot use my phone without my apple id and password.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sent it.can he run up a bill using my id?cheers.

I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he needs my id and password to use it.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sold it but wanted to know if he could run up a bill even though i no longer have an account with my phone provider?

You did not follow the proper procedure when selling the phone before resetting it to factory settings. You must help the new owner deactivate the Activation Lock or else he will have the same issue over and over when he upgrades the software or sells it to someone else.

I replaced my keyboard batteries and the light is flashing so it is in discovery mode. But I am stuck on the home page where I need to type my password, without a keyboard. Aluminum trick didn't work. What do I do?

I shut off my computer and the next day replaced the batteries in my keyboard after getting the low battery message. After replacing them and turning the keyboard on and off the green LED was blinking which meant it was in discovery mode. The problem is I can't login to my computer because I need to type in a password. But I can't use the keyboard so I can't use my mouse to find the device because I can't login. The aluminum ball trick did not work and I did recheck the battery life and they are in the right way. How do I fix this?

Try resetting the iPod > iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Photosmart 209a-m... I need user name and password....or how to reset them....

trying to get to the settings,networking, bluetooth...I dont remember ever changing them
never had a need....

That didn't have the desired effect. While it remembers the last account username I entered, I have to enter the password. And the when I want to switch to the second account, I have to enter both the username and password.

I misspelled my password when I changed it and now I don't know what it is

I was going to change my password and I ended up mispelling it - not just once but twice (when you verify it). So it is now successfully changed but changed to what? I don't know - Is there any fail safe for a master password? I need it so I can download new programs or changing certain System Preferences... What do I do?

Kevin AFAIK ONLY If your Keychain is locked will you be asked for your current Keychain password before your PW can be changed.
[please correct me if i'm wrong]
If it's not locked you can go thru sys prefs->Accounts, change the PW and your keychain will change to match (the 'Normal means' to which Malcolm' refers, above.
Your other alternative, of course is to restore from backup(s).
But it's not really 'a biggie' is it ?
Just dump the old and re-enter PWs as the system/apps needs them.

My I pad broke after only a few months and now they won't mend it as they say they can't get in as my i cloud password not working. I never even set one up? I have an apple id and password but that's not enough for them to get in.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
