Can I take my iPhone to the Apple Store to reset the passcode?

I'm trying to sell my old iPhone 4S and I can't remember my old passcode. If I take it to the Apple Store, can they reset my passcode for me? It's no problem if they need to erase the whole phone since I would be doing that later anyway.

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.

  • Can i take my iphone to an apple store for fix without IMEI

    can i take my iphone to fix it in apple store
    i ididnt buy it from a carrier store or apple store
    i dont have the imei becouse the phone is not starting and i lost the original box

    You can take it to an Apple store, and they may be able to fix it. They will not be able to if it is jailbroken, or if it was stolen (they will know).
    Have you tried basic troubleshooting yourself?
    Reset: Charge for 15 minutes with a wall adapter, then hold HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears
    Restore from DFU mode (google it).

  • Can I take my iphone to the store to have it checked out although the contract is not under my name?

    Can I take my iphone to the store to have it checked out although the contract is not under my name?

    Yes. Make appointment with Genius to avoid possible long wait. Also any Warranty or AppleCare coverage is attached to the iPhone, so just bring the phone for evaluation.

  • HT201472 Can i take my iPhone to the apple store after this?

    My iPhone was stolen at school but after a couple of days it was given back to me but now Touch ID doesn't work and for some reason the text messages disappear when i sent them and when the Time sometimes counts backwards.

    Try restoring as new ,and rebuild the iOS
    If still not correct take to an Apple Store and let the genius bar assess the iphone
    Any damage will void your warranty

  • If I take my iphone to an apple store, can they tell if there is a tracking program installed on it?

    although it's never been out of my sight, I have reason to think there is a tracking app installed on my iphone.  Will they be able to tell at an apple store?

    so there is absolutely no way someone could send me a text or attachment that would do that?
    I had heard that someone could jailbreak it and install something and then make it look like it wasnt jailbroken.
    Is there any way I could tell?  Like if someone at apple plugged it in would they see something in the files?
    I recently had someone threaten that they could watch me all the time just by sending me a picture, and my phone has been acting crazy since.
    lately the home button wont work, everything freezes... I managed to use the on off button to get to where I could navigate to the apple site, and when I called to ask, my phone miraculously started working again.  but it's been like that for days since just after this person said they could 'follow me if they wanted to'
    I hope I'm just being paranoid... i just wish there was a simple way to tell

    status to see if the charger is covered.

  • I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?

    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

  • How can I take my iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and the power button is broken?

    How can I take my Iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and my power button is broken?

    Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 :
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.

    You need to take your phone to an Apple Store in the US. You can purchase an Out of Warranty replacement if the phone is damaged. Cost is $269+ tax.
    You cannot upgrade to a 5S at an Apple store; at best, you can turn in your current phone to get a gift card towards the purchase of another.

  • I have an iphone 4. I disconnected it from my iTunes account but I am still using the iphone and the Apple ID. If I make a purchase will it work? Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    Do you mean that you removed the phone from the 'manage devices' section of your iTunes account ? If you do then that won't stop you being able to purchase items on your phone - you only need to be logged into an account to be able to purchase with it.
    If you do mean the 'manage devices' section then you can associate, or re-associate, a device (or computer) by using iTunes Match, or automatic downloads, or redownloading past purchases on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • If I bought my iPhone in America from an Apple Store and have the receipt can I return it to a Japanese Apple store?

    If I bought my iPhone in America from an Apple Store and have the receipt can I return it to a Japanese Apple store? Yes it is within 30 days, I bought it July 21st, meaning it is within 15 days, as well.

    I would doubt it, but there's nobody here who can speak on behalf of Apple.  Phone the Japanese store: they will know far better than us fellow users.

  • I have an iphone 5 on contract with 3 but the speaker isn't working , I've spoken with my provider and they said I need to take it back to an apple store .is this correct ? Many thanks

    I have an iphone 5 on contract with 3 but the speaker isn't working , I've spoken with my provider and they said I need to take it back to an apple store .is this correct ? Many thanks

    If you received you phone as part of the contract then surely from a legal pov your contract is with 3 not Apple unless you bought Applecare, if you bought your phone outright then put your 3 SIM into it then yes you'd have to visit an Apple store with your phone's purchase receipt.
