Bypassing Lock Screen

My mom bout me a iPhone 4 and it has and pass code lock on it. I do not know the owner and can not get in contact with them. Is there any possible way that I could bypass the lock screen and gain access to the phone? If I took it to the carrier could they unlock it ? If I factory unlock the phone could I gain access. Please answer these questions for me , as soon as possible.

  • Bypass lock screen by asking Siri a question

    Just found out you can bypass the lock screen on my 6 plus by telling Siri to "wake me up when my phone is charged" then when she asks what time? Reply with "when my phone is charged".. Unlocks and full access to my phone.

    Does this work for anyone else?!

  • Bypassing lock screen 5S. touch screen not responsive

    I have the 5S and I broke the screen. The screen now doesnt work so its not respnsive to touch either. I have to use siri for eveything. BUT it died and so I had to recharge it and on the first turn on you have to type in the code always. Is there any way to get around that?

  • Another bypass lock screen via siri

    Okay Apple !!! If you are concerned about security of secured information and provide update after bypass of lockscreen, there is another simple bypass for contact which is really annoying. to make myself clear if I lost my device and i ask siri.. "Who Am I?".. it provides my contact card with all my personal information number, relation without entering my passcode lock....

    I have the same issue with the new model 5s. I don't understand why touchID is not used to activate Siri in the lock screen. Also, saying that Siri can be disable form the lock screen, is NOT a solution.  Siri already asks you for a pasword if you want to read a txt or an emails, so why doesn't "she" asks you for a password when you ask for your address, your brother's address, to make a phone call or start facetime with someone. I hope this gets fixed soon.

  • Bypass Lock Screen PIN

    Hey there,
    I was trying to unlock my iphone and ran across something. I wanted to see if others are able to do this too.
    With your phone locked, with a PIN enabled, are you able to bypass your PIN number by just preseing the lock button and then the home button?
    It seems to work everytime on my phone with 8.1.2.
    Anyone??

    I have a 6PLUS with Touch ID enabled.
    It happens when you press the lock button and then the home button. Not just touching the home button like when you use the Touch ID.
    Funkyyyy...

  • What is the bypass code for lock screen

    what is the bypass code for the lock screen on i pod touch

    To restore the iPod to get rid of the lock combination you forgot, just follow these steps....
    1) Plug your iPod into the PC
    2) Wait for iTunes to sync your device like normal and let it back up all of your stuff, since restoring deletes all of your data
    3) Go onto your iPod's menu (The one that shows the memory bar at the bottom)
    4) Locate the Restore button on the screen and click restore
    5) If your not on iOS 5.0.1 yet, it will ask you to download the latest firmware, go ahead download it
    6) When it is done downloading it will take you through the restoration process.
    7) When it asks you if you want to restore it from a backup or set up as new when everything is finished, make sure you select "Back up as new"!!!
    8) Re-Sync your music, apps, photos, mail, contacts, etc. and anything you had before, and you device is just like new.

  • IOS 7 Lock Screen Bypass Workaround

    It was brought to my attention by one of my co-workers that the launch day (9/18/2013) version iOS 7 contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthorized user to bypass the device's lock screen to send out pictures.  Even if lock screen access for Control Center was disabled, it was reported that Siri could be used to access the Timer app and complete the bypass.  In order to prevent this bypass from being performed on company-owned Apple mobile devices, we created a quick workaround procedure:
    For Control Center:  Perform the following steps to disable Control Center from the Lock Screen:
    Press the "Settings" icon.
    Select"Control Center".
    Swipe the toggle for "Access on Lock Screen" so that it no longer green.
    For Siri:  Perform the following steps to disable Siri from the Lock Screen:
    Press the "Settings" icon.
    Select"General" then "Passcode Lock".
    Enter your passcode
    In the "Allow Access When Locked" section, swipe the toggle for "Siri" so that it no longer green .
    Your device is now secured from unauthorized users leveraging the launch day iOS 7 bypass vulnerability.  Once Apple fixes the vulnerability, you can again turn on Siri and Control Center at the lock screen.

    Guys chill, the solution is simple-try it and let me know:
    Go to: Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut > (then tick Invert Colors)
    This will access the "Invert Colors" shortcut when you press the home button 3 times - and it will prevent the multitasking while locked option from coming, hence your phone won't be hacked and your photos are safe
    Let me know if it works for you!
    Cheers

  • TS3694 After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 got problems which are lock screen, Sounds, syncing iTunes?

    After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 can't connect to iTunes. When i am trying to connect, then i can connect. After secods, the phone is not connecting with iTunes again. Then Automatically connect to iTunes again by itself.  
    My sound works with headphones, the alarm works, ringer works but can not listen to any music/videos without headphones plugged in.
    Then lock screen bugs; bypass fumble. When I start to open the iPhone and swiping is heavily to do on the slide to unlock. What's the matter with it?

    firstly thanks for quick reply.
    sorry sir,
    i am confused in last line you wrote,
    " This will erase the phone but you will be given an option at the end to restore to an existing backup, if you have one."
    i did not understand last sentence  -  if i have one? you mean to say if i have data or not in my iphone?
    i have many pictures, messages, contacts which are very much important.
    so will it be all restore and will be backup again in my iphone if i restore?
    i am extremely sorry to interrupt you again.
    waiting for your quick reply
    thanks and regards,
    vishal

  • Is there a Siri command to get to the home screen from the lock screen?

    Here is the situation - an elderly friend of mine (94 years old) was in a panic because there were text messages on the lock screen and try as he might he could not "slide to open."
    He has no passcode set.
    Anyway, I had him try this and it worked:
    1. Use Siri to "open calendar."
    2. After it opened, press the Home button to get to the home screen.
    That way he was able to get in.
    Is there a Siri command to go directly to the Home Screen from the lock screen? I tried various things I could think of, but couldn't figure out anything that worked.
    What would be best is being able to bypass the lock screen altogether. I have another elderly friend who is blind and it is a source of constant confusion for him.
    As for voiceover - he is finding it impossible to figure out. I can see, and I am also finding it impossible to figure out. We tried to use it to get into the TED app and select, play and stop videos and all sorts of weird UI elements starting popping up and it was frustrating him so we turned voiceover off. But that's for another discussion thread.
    In the meantime, is there an easy way to get home if somebody is having trouble sliding?
    Thanks,
    doug

    I think the more "assistive" features are turned on the harder it is for both my sighted and blind friend to use.
    Yes, that can sometimes be true.
    Unless your older but sighted friend has difficulty with fine motor movements, I suspect that the slide to open is a matter of practice. If you can convice your friend that they are capable of learning it and get them to work with it a bit that might help. I've found that older learners can become frustrated very quickly with technology. They either have themselves convinced they can't learn technolgy or that get annoyed because iPhones are supposed to be "intuative". The challenge is getting them to feel okay about being a beginner at something.
    You're a good friend to take on this teaching task.
    Best of luck.

  • Activation lock screen - don't know the email

    This is for an iPod touch that belongs to our company.
    We have an exiting employee who has given back their iPod touch.  However, he does not know the email he used to create the iCloud account with.  All we are provided with is a*****@gmail.com.  He has no idea what the email is.  I already did a factory reset through iTunes, but the activation lock screen still persists.  Is there any way we can view the complete a*****@gmail.com email to get to the bottom of this?
    I should note that the device was also issed to a previous employee, but I cannot contact them.
    I'm not trying to outright bypass the lock screen.  I'm just trying to see if there's a way to view the complete email of the Apple ID so we can go through the standard password reset mode.

    Have him recover the ID and password
    Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
    Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID. See Finding your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

  • Can I open a notification from lock screen with just Touch ID?

    Is there a way to open a notification from the lock screen by using only the Touch ID feature?
    For instance, on my lock screen I will get a notification of a new email then I have to swipe at the email notification then type in my code or use Touch ID then the email opens.
    Is there a way for when I get an email notification on my lock screen to just put my finger on the Touch ID sensor and have the email open? In other words, can I bypass the swiping motion of the notification with just a Touch ID sensor touch?

    I haven't found a way to do so either. And I agree that it is pretty annoying. Touch ID is a great piece of technology but it is not well thought through and heavily underused from a software point of view.

  • Finally a working Custom Lock Screen Replacement:

    I am a happy camper now, I have been tring since I got my Droid X to find an app that would give a full working custom lock screen, this application is called "Widget Locker" and it seems to work flawlessly and the even better part is that you can add any of you widgets installed on your device to the lock screen and move them just like you are on you systems desktop, it supports Live Wallpapers and most importantly.... It cant be bypassed with the "Home" key like all others that I have tried.  You can have Standard Android, Sense Ui or iPhone designed lock screens and they all works well.
    Check it out at the market, the app again is called "Widget Locker" I think its worth a look.

    I have been looking for something like this for awhile but I was always searching for lock apps and this one never came up, I am assuming because the name really wasnt clear of what the app really was... I have installed so many app just to find one that worked the way it should, amd to my surprise when I decided to visit a site I havent in some time and they was talking about this app...  After installing free version for about a hour and tested it everyway I could think of, it because clear I had to buy it.
    Crazy how thing just fall in your lap when you are not looking..
