Can I disable the "find iPhone" to restore the iPhone because I forgot the password

The passcode for the device or the password for your Apple ID?
If you know your Apple ID password, then you can go to www.icloud.com and not only remove the device from FMiP, but you can actually do a remote wipe, which will reset the device to factory settings.

  • Can I disable the password requirement to download applications from the app store?

    Recently, my Apple ID has become "locked" roughly twice a month for the last two months and it's been driving me insane. To try to remedy this issue, I finally changed my password -- after struggling to come up with a password that was "strong" I ended up with one that's more than 20 characters long and incredibly convoluted.
    This brings me to this question: is there a way to disable the App Store requiring a password to download apps? It was already a nuisance, but it's going to be wholly worse now that my password is Biblical in length.
    If there is an answer to either of these issues, that would be awesome! (Why does my Apple ID keep locking up twice a month when I type my password immaculately? Can I stop needing my password? I'm the only one using my iPhone).
    Thank you so much!

    Awesome. :|
    Thank you!

  • How can a disable the password required to login?

    I have a new Macbook Pro retina display.  I am the only user of the computer, and I would really like to be able to open and use my computer without being asked for my login password everytime.  I have searched this forum for the answer, but I am more confused now than before?  One of the answers says to simply go to "Security & Privacy" > General and simply uncheck the box in front of the line that says "require password ***** after sleep or screen saver begins".  They even show a screen shot clearly showing this box.  The problem is that on my Macbook Pro, when I go to this location, there is NO box in front of that line!  There is a small window where I can choose between "immediately - 1 hour", but that is it.  Am I doing something wrong?  Does anyone know how I can turn off this prompt for the login password?
    Thank you!

    Try this...
    System Preferences > Users and Groups
    Choose your username then click on "Log In Options" below
    Next, turn "Automatic login" to ON then supply the password to your account
    Then, in the "Security & Privacy" Section, make sure "Disable automatic login" is OFF

  • HT1212 How can I zero the password on my iphone from me itunes account? The phone has a smashed screen and I want to back it up before I replace it but none of the sliders are working due to the smashed screen?

    My iphone has a smashed screen and my laptop which it was connected to has died under warrantee and been replaced. I am going to replace my iphone but want to back it up first. Unfortunately the screen wont work and there is a password on it meaning I cant access it from my itunes account on the new laptop. How can I disable the password from itunes and back up the phone. It wont turn off or activate any sliders.

    You can't disable the password.  If you could, what would be the point of having one?

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

    Hello Hoppayoppa
    You would need to have the owner of that iCloud account to turn off. It can be done without them there. Check out the article below for more information. After that is done, you can put the correct backup on your iPhone.

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.
