Forgot password to screen lock anyway to unlock??

"WHAT??? Connecting/disconnecting an iPod will unlock the screen? Dear God I would hope that is not true. If so that would represent a major security flaw in OSX."
Read my post again.
Not just any computer, but the one you use it with.

And since this works with both Mac and Windows, it's hardly a "major security flaw in OS X."

  • Password protected screen lock application

    I need a screen lock software which locks the phone screen with password protection. Which means, screen lock/unlock should be made only on entering password..
    I searched for many screen locker apps, but no one comes with password protection..
    Pls give me a password protected screen locker app..

  • Ask for password after screen lock not working!?

    Ask for password after screen lock not working? It used to work before mavericks, each time my computer display sleep I'm asked for the password immediately. Now it never asks for it?

    From 2008 MacRumors discussion:
    SOLUTION: Browse to Home>Library>Preferences and drag com.apple.systempreferences.plist to the desktop.
    Caused by a corrupt user preferences file. On restart, you may find user settings have defaulted. Set up as desired.
    Worked for me.

    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.

  • Locked iphone and forgot password how can I get it unlocked without having to reset my phone and lose everything?

    My boyfriend changed his pass code on his iPhone 5 and does not remember it. He's tried every possible code and now his phone is disabled and says to connect to itunes. I'm wondering if there's some where we can go take it to to get the password off without having to reset the whole phone and loseall all our pictures. Any info please I'd greatly appreciate it. I've called our carrier company and  I can't do anything but referred me to apple.

    If this iPhone has previously been synced to a computer you can connect to that computer which will unlock it.
    If you have not done so there is no way to use it without Restoring it and losing your information.

  • HT1766 Daughter forgot password, now "disabled", How do I unlock it?

    My daughter changed her password on her ipod touch, forgot what it is.  She tried different ones, now it says "disabled connect to itunes".  Did that, nothing happened.  WHAT DO I DO? HELP PLEASE

    You are going to have to connect to a computer and iTunes and do a restore, then restore with a backup copy that is earlier than when you put the passcode in.

  • Screen Lock password help!!

    I know that if you plug you iPod nano into the computer, it gets rid of screen lock, but if you forgot your password for screen lock, is there any way to find out what it was?

    Connecting the iPod to the computer only disables the lock until you select to lock it again, it doesnt actually get rid of the password. By the sounds of things, you already know that.
    If you cannot remember the password, the only way to unlock the iPod permanently and set a new one (hopefully this time one that you remember) is to Restore the iPod.
    To restore, connect the iPod, open the iPod updater and click restore. It will take around 5 minutes and will delete all the songs off of your Nano, so make sure they are all OK on the computer first.

  • HT4061 iphone 3GS screen locked, slide bar does not work

    Iphone 3GS. The slide bar does not work, ie the screen lock does not unlock. I have tried to reset (power and home buttons) and also to restore my iphone several times using iTunes without any success. Any suggestions? My son uses the phone now for games, so it has no carrier.

    A reset can be done by tapping and holding the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears.
