I have an iPod touch 2G and I can't set up a passcode lock. I hit "Turn Passcode on" and then enter the passcode I want. Then it brings me back to the Passcode Lock Screen, NOT turning on my passcode.

I hit "Turn Passcode on" and then enter the passcode I want. Then it brings me back to the Passcode Lock Screen, NOT turning on my passcode. Now this iPod touch is a gift from my family, used before me. I set up my iTunes account, but when i view my Apple account it's not showing up. Is this the reason my iPod isnt working? Please help.

The users guide says:
Passcode Lock
By default, iPod touch doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.
Set a passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPod touch then requires you to enter the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.
Turn passcode lock off: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Turn Passcode Off, then enter your passcode again.
Change the passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Change Passcode. Enter your passcode again, then enter and reenter your new passcode.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

HT1212 ipod Touch 5th generation. I changed the original passcode and then forgot, so it says 'iPod is disabled'. It hadn't been synced with iTunes, so I switched it off, held home button, connected to Mac, did restore on iTunes twice but it doesn't work.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

Your options are to remember the passcode or restore it
On the plus side if you used iCloud or synced with iTunes theres a good chance you will get most of your data back after restoring

The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help.

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 canceling 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.

The restrictions id set on my iphone 4s and i forgot the passcode

i have my i phone 4s with a passcode and i dont know the passcode so i cannot go into the restrictions mode to restore phone or reset passcode

You don't need the passcode to the restrictions to restore your iPhone. If you also have forgotten the passcode to your screen lock, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore:

I have forgot my password and need help. I have not synced my device with a computer so I can not restore it if any body can help please tell me. Thanks

i forgot my passcode and have not snyced to a computer so I can not restore. Please help

If you don't remember your iPad's passcode, you have to restore it as a new device.
Read iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
The passcode is quite secure. It would not be worthwhile to have one otherwise.

HT1212 my mini ipad disabled due wrong passcode and i forget the passcode

how can i activate my unsyncronized mini Ipad that has been disabled due to wrong and forgotton passcode

Read the article you linked from, it has the directions to restore your iPad.

I have too many apps on my ipad can I click remove and then reinstall when I have space. I need to experiment with free apps to see what I like before buying?

Over the last year I have 'purchased' many free art and photography apps looking for the perfect mix.
Every now and then I check my purchases and the ones I've had to remove are still in my list of purchases with a little cloud and a downward pointing arrow asking to be installed which is wonderful for me.
However, I also downloaded lots of free European maps and need to remove them to make room for my art trials. I don't want to lose them either.
Am I using this resource wisely or is there a better way. I have the 16GB iPad and lots of space is being taken up with art saved in photos pending refining or just photos to inspire.
PS That's my first question! The next one is about photos and albums but that better wait. Advice on the above is more pressing as is the space on my iPad
Hope you can advise me

Yes you can. Any purchases (including free apps) made from the iTunes or Apps Store are kept your history and you can download (install) again as many time you want. Once you remove any apps, you will then find it to have the cloud logo for installing again.
The only thing you must worried are any saved content within the app you will be deleting. As you can download the app again, it's local content (saved files) will be lost unless backed up someway.

Everytime I try to restore my iPad after a few minutes it will disconnect and say i need the passcode but i forgot the passcode. what will i do?

Ipad Mini.. please help me? it always disconnects it and says iPad Software update but i want it to restore because of my password.
