Can I change a passcode remotely on an iPhone

Hello.  I have a teenage son and I would like to be able to lock his phone if necessary.  I have parental controls set up, but if I try to put the phone into "Lost Mode", since he already has a passcode set, he just enters his passcode and voila, no longer in "Lost Mode".  Is there a way to use the parental code to lock the phone?  Or just change it to something else?  Apple has to know that lots of parents need this kind of functionality...

I just did a pretty thorough search - there's nothing out there that does what I want.  I just want to be able to remotely change the passcode, effectively turning the phone "off".  I don't need to listen to phone calls or read text messages.  Currently I can just physically take the phone away.  But the ability to be able to do it remotely would be very helpful.  Does anyone know of a third party app that would allow that?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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 most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    If the "Find My iPhone" feature was already setup on the device, log in via iCloud.com and remotely lock the device.  Otherwise nothing can be done.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible.

    How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible. I can log in on my computer with updated id, however I can't find where to change old email. The settings displays new id. When I try to update or buy an app on my phone it automatically puts in the dead email address and asks for the password.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

    Hi jprohask63,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you have applications that were originally downloaded from a different Apple ID, you would need to sign out of the current Apple ID and sign in to the Apple ID that was used originally to download the application. To complete this process please follow the instructions provided in the attached article.

  • Question: How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • HT204053 How can I change my Apple ID on my iphone

    I know, I know, go to settings > store > log out etc. etc. etc.
    But here's the deal:
    My itunes on my computer > correct apple ID
    Setting on phone > correct apple ID
    I have synced my phone, I have turned on/off my phone, I have read every "how can I change my applie ID on my iphone" article on the internet and STILL the app store will NOT update, so all my apps have updated that I can not access.
    Please help, I'm loosing my mind! ; )

    If you are asking how to change the iCloud ID on your device, your go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Can i get my rented movies off my ipad and put them on my PC, as i do not have posession of my ipad and i wont for awhile, also can i change the password remotely for my ipad to avoid intrusions?

    can i get my rented movies off my ipad and onto my PC without my ipad in my possession? also can i change my password to access my ipad remotely to stop the intrusions?

    Where did the movies come from?
    For what you said you should be easily be able to do what you want except for:
    "remove them from the ipad but still have access to them for viewing on the road or at hotel"
    Home sharing only works wehn the devices are connected to the same network
    Understanding Home Sharing
    If they are iTunes purchases, you should be able to redownload most iTunes purchases on the road if you have an internet connection by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
