Can you override passcode lock - phone died

hi i have an iphone 4 16gb, i was using it normally yesterday, the battery drained out, and today in the morning i plugged it in to charge it and it wont come up, i used different cables thinking the usb was wrong tried the pc and the wall outlet but no it wont turn on any more, the phone is still under warranty so i can take it to my carrier to have it checked , the problem is, i have a passcode lock and there is information (photos) that i dont want anybody to have acces to, my question would be if i take it to repair and they manage to turn it on, would they be able to see my stuff, can they override the passcode, or is there any other way they can have acces to that info???........... seriously id rather loose the phone if they can have acces to my stuff. any help???

there is information (photos) that i dont want anybody to have acces to,
Sensitive information like that should have never been put into any phone.
if i take it to repair and they manage to turn it on, would they be able to see my stuff
Probably.
can they override the passcode
There is a procedure on the Internet to do just that.
id rather loose the phone if they can have acces to my stuff. any help??
If you are that concerned, the phone should be destroyed.

  • How can i disable passcode lock

    I recently gave my old IPhone 4S to my daughter. She keeps putting a passcode lock on the phone and doesn't remember the code. Is there any way that I can turn the passcode lock off so she doesn't have access to it, or that I can lock that feature where she needs my passcode to be able to access it?

    LOST PASSCODE
    You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    Otherwise read this
    If that doesn’t work  you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
    Enter Wrong passcode

  • Can you override a public static method?

    Can you override a public static method?

    A static method belongs to a class, not to a particular object, because you can call them without having an object instantiated. Methods are over rided which are inherited from an object. Since Static methods (although inherited) are not bound to a particular object, are not overridden.
    Though you have a method in the subclass with the same signatures but if you try to call super.____() you will get the error
    non-static variable super cannot be referenced from a static context

    Hello BoilerMike57,
    According to iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296), you are able to use Outlook 2007 to sync your iPhone:
    You can sync calendars with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    If you are having trouble syncing your Outlook calendar with your iPhone, you can follow the steps in this article:

  • HT201328 Can you unlock my I phone

    I'm going to visit out of country so can you unlock. To my I phone please

    No one here can unlock you phone for you.  This is not an Apple corporate support site - this is a discussion forum for users of Apple products.
    As already mentioned, you need to contact the carrier to which the iPhone is currently locked to.  Only that carrier can unlock it for you.

  • Can you put a lock on apps?

    Hi there,
    I was just wondering if there is any way of locking an app on my "ipad with retina display" which i purchased from the app store for example sketchbook express so only i can access it. i was wondering if i could lock an app via another app on the app store, is that possible?
    Thanks!
    Johnny2000

    Due to the sandbox nature of how iOS programs work, one app cannot
    control or affect another. Therefore, an app cannot lock another app.
    As Diavonex stated, unless the app comes with a passcode lock feature.
    the app cannot be locked.

  • Can you sync basic mobile phone to your icloud account for your iphone 5

    can you set up or sync an iphone 5 to a basic mobile phone . if so how and also if so what if the phones are not even in same state

    You can set up an account on any iOS device or Mac with the compliant operating system, and sign into it on other compliant devices, but 'Find My iPhone' has to be enabled on the device in question before it goes missing.

  • Can you back up two phones on one itunes account?

    I have just purchased an iPhone5s and want to transfer all of my information from my iPhone4s onto it. I was told that this could be done by first backing up my phone using itunes. Sounded simple.
    Now i am having great difficulties!
    My wife nacked up her phone earlier this year. Every time i go to back up my phone (turning on itunes and then plugging my phone in via usb) it comes up with two options - set up as a new iphone OR restore from my wife's phone.
    I am really unsure what to do here. I fear losing all the data on my phone.
    Is it possible for the one itunes account to back-up two phones?
    Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync/backup and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. That message is more threatening than what really happens.
