Enter Passcode screen has appeared

All of a sudden this morning my iPod is asking for a password and I have not set one up! In the past I have used the passcode lock in the Settings menu but not for some time. The screen that has appeared now is a different one to the Passcode lock screen and entering the passcode that I used to use does not work. I've tried turning on and off but no joy. Any ideas?

If you have screen-lock passcode screen (you can have two, on for a simple passcode and the other where the keyboard one comes up), connect the iPod to its syncing computer and retore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and restore via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

A passcode screen has appeared, but i didn't set one up

the 'enter passcode' screen is blocking me from using my ipad. i didn't set it up, what happened and how can I disable it?

i use gmail on my iphone and ipad, but neither device has ever locked me out like what just happened with my ipad. i was just trying to access my apple id to setup icloud on apple.com when i was having difficultywith my primary email. so i attempted to change my id to the gmail acct, and now this happened. i don't know if there is any connection, but it is strange that it happened afterwards. if i restore from itunes, will i lose my ipad data?

Every 10 seconds, the screen returns to the Enter Password and I cannot turn the iPad off. How do I stop this?

If a Reset has not Resolved your issue... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Keyboard non-responsive on Enter Passcode Screen

Hi,
When I attempt to unlock my phone from the Enter Passcode screen the keyboard responds to my touch, but doesn't register in the form for the passcode, i.e. the numbers and letters typed don't show up on the screen and the cursor remains in place blinking. The Emergency Call icon is also unresponsive, outside of it flashing when touched. I can get to the numbers and symbols screens. Of course my power button has decided not to work so I can't simply power the phone off to remedy the issue. This happened about a week ago and I solved the problem by upating the firmware. I've searched some threads on here and Googled a bit, but no luck finding out the root cause of this particular error. Anyone know anything about this issue and if there's a permanent fix or particular cause? I had a 3GS 8GB previous to this 16GB and never encountered this issue...
Thanks,

Hi there Andy,
Tough to tell, but might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

Downloaded iOS 7, Enter passcode screen lag

on iphone 5, just downloaded iOS7. When I start up the phone the enter passcode screen works fine. Every time afterwards when i unlock the enter passcode screen lags up to 10 seconds. Thoughts or fixes?

I would try 3 things in this order:
Restart the phone, reset the phone, then reset all settings
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And to reset all your settings, use this article.

"Enter Passcode" screen not showing the dots for key press

I've a passcode that is 6 characters long. When I slide to unlock my phone , the "Enter Passcode" screen comes up as normal, but sometimes when I try to enter my passcode in the white box, though the key press turns blue under my finger tips as normal but nothing (no black dots) is entered into the white box. Whenever this happens I'm not able to unlock my phone with the passcode and I've to power off and power on the phone to detect the passcode.
Not sure anyone else having the same problem as mine. If anyone encountered the same problem and know how to fix it, please help me.
Thanks!

I have two iPhone 4S both with iOs7 and simple passcode. One had the dots, the other didn't. I went through changing settings on the one without dots to match the settings to the one with dots one at a time until they came on.
For me the exact change was turning on the Auto Brightness setting.
Settings > Wallpapers and Brightness > Auto-Brightness
Perhaps it's the same bug for complex passcodes? Worth a try.

"enter passcode" screen is misaligned

hello everyone!
I got an iphone 6 64gb (iOS 8.1.2) five days ago. Today it started showing following problem (see pictures below)
As you can see the "enter passcode" screen is not aligned with the screen borders and you can see the wallpaper from behind.
This misalignment can happen on all the sides of the phone and it seems to be random.
This doesn't happen everytime though, it usually happens when I rotate the phone just before I slide to get to the "enter passcode" screen.
The problem disappears when i turn on the Reduce Motion option from Accessibility
I have tried to turn the phone off and on again but the problem remains.
Any ideas on what i should do next?

Contact Apple and arrange for service.

Blue Restart Screen Has Appeared 4 times in One Day

Today the Blue Restart screen has appeared four times and while each time it has successfully restarted, it is becoming quite annoying. Also, I'm losing work though I've been lucky enough to save at good times.
Does anyone know why it would appear this often? Is this a hardware or software problem? What can I do to diagnosis it?
Best,
David

To identify problem, please use eventvwr in windows . Go to computer then system , filter critical errors! Check for the one that causes a restart. If it's a software please reinstall , or update your drivers . THANKS
KUDOS if it helped

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

My ipod touch 2g is frozen on the the enter passcode screen and it won't shutdown what do i do?

My ipod 2g is frozen on the enter passcode screen and i tried to shut it down but it dosen't what do i do?

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
- If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Boot in recovery mode, connect it to iTunes and restore without backup

TS1502 I have an ipad and a blue screen has appeared.....what should be done to get the ipad to work again.

My ipad is displaying a blue screen. I have tried to reboot but nothing is happening, it keeps displaying the blue screen. How can this be fixed so I can use my ipad again

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
 Cheers, Tom

Transparent black box in corner of screen has appeared.

This box has CVR OFF Brightness: 0 Zoom:0 Audio Off & Ready. It also ONLY appears on Firefox & Thunderbird windows.
