Forgot iphone password: restoring problems.

okay. I forgot my iphone password so Im planning to restore it.
but before that, i have to make sure that ALL my files will be save when I click the Restore button on iTunes.
so i already checked the encrypt local backup and yes, I can remember the password.
then later, it's start backing up.
is that mean i saved all my data and ready to restore it ?
my iphone is the first gen. O______O
oh yeah, i didn't jail break my iphone

... then later, it's start backing up.
is that mean i saved all my data and ready to restore it ?
Hi Naero-Suiz,
I am not completely certain I understand your question, but it is of little consequence. If you forgot your password the only way to recover is to restore your iPhone from its backup. There is no other alternative.
By restoring it, your iPhone will be restored to the exact same condition that existed when it was last synced with your computer.

IPhone 3G Restore problem

Hi all,
I am having trouble with my iPhone, basically a week ago it locked itself gave a garbled message and then required a restore. I have tried and it either got 'stuck' at the very end of the progress bar on the phone display, or tonight I got a 'cannot be restored' message with error code 1002.
Can anyone help me with this? I am loathed to buy a new phone, or pay for it to be repaired, especially as it is only two months out of warranty and I am still paying o2 £45.00 per month minimum.......

While I cannot help with the phone problem, but I'm sure someone can and will, did you know that after nine months on contract you can ask O2 to downgrade your tariff by one band? I went from £45 to £35, no penalties and no problems.

Once i click restore, my phone runs through a bunch of stuff (like it's being restored) then gives me an unknown error, and fails. Any ideas?

Try to Restore iPhone on a different computer, to see if you can get it working. If still a problem, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Help Please! Forgot iPhone password!

have an iphone 4 & have forgotten my passoword! does anyone have any tips on how to fix this? thank you so much!!!

Plug into iTunes, hold power/sleep & home button until iTunes prompts it has detected a device in recovery mode. Then restore from backup IF you have a backup that was made before you setup the now forgotten passcode (otherwise, if the backup has the code in it, it will just reinstall it along with everything else).
If no backup, you will have to restore as new and set up the device from scratch again.

IPhone 4 Restore Problem

Received the phone in the mail, then after a couple of tries with iTunes, it kept freezing up. So, I decide to click the restore button to factory settings and clear out the music/podcasts/etc. that was downloaded in the prior failed attempts. Well, less than half an hour of owning this machine, iTunes gives me an error stating: "iPhone" could not be restored. An unkown error occured (1611)
The screen is blank, and now I have this cute paper weight on my desk. So disappointed I am. Anyone else experience this?

I forgot the password on my ipad and i didnt sign into icloud or find my iphone and i connected my ipad to itunes but it doesnt let me restore my ipad as it does not connect to the apple software what should i do?

I forgot my password to my iPad and it said to connect to iTunes so I did. I went on Apple support to try and find a way to restore my iPad. The options given were to either sign into iCloud of Find my iPhone and restore it, but it wouldn't work because I didn't download the Find my iPhone app and I wasn't signed into iCloud. My other option was to connect to iTunes and restore it so I tried many times but it keeps saying that the apple software cannot be connected. I used Apple support once again to see if i can sort out the problem but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else that I can do to restore it??

Try this:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

You need a computer with iTunes installed to regain use of your iPod. Unless you have the iPod backup file from the syncing computer all you can do is to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod. You will also need to place the iPod in recovery mode is you restore the iPod on other than on its syncing computer. For reoverymode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Remember the passcode is a security feature.
