    You can use your Apple ID to reset the password if you set your account with the Apple ID, but if you don't have the username you may be in a lot of trouble.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

  • I cannot log into the game center as I forgot my password and am not able to reset it.

  • How do I restore my old iPhone4 when I forgot my password and iCloud is still on?

    Hello Everybody.
    Recently I found my old iPhone 4 that i haven't used in quite a while. I locked the phone initially so that my sister would not find any of my old text messages and then left it in one of my drawers for a while. After I found it again the other day, I decided to reuse it since I am going to a concert on the 29th of this month and want to use it to take photos and videos. I plugged it in the charger and waited until it was 100%, and then plugged it into iTunes. I realised I forgot my password for the phone, which was fine as I wanted to erase all of my old content. When I clicked restore on iTunes it said that Find My iPhone was still on for my phone and that I had to go on iCloud to turn it off. Of course this was no problem until I found out I had a different account than I did 2 years ago, as I forgot my password and made a new account. Obviously you can tell I don't have a very good memory.
    I would like to know how to restore my iPhone before the concert so I can use it. I have a feeling my phone will run out of battery and I want to be sure I can take as many photos and videos as I can. If anybody could help that would be great
