Forgot password to unlock screen

forgot passwork to unlock screen

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPad from the computer to which the iPad is synced. For information and instructions, see:

If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPad into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

  • Administrative password to unlock screen 10.10.2

    How do I login to a locked screen (sleep/screensaver) on OS 10.10.2 with administrator credentials?
    Background: I work on a k-8 school campus in Denver and often times need to troubleshoot users' machines when they are not present. If their sleep/screensaver requires a user password, I can't access the machine. Yosemite displays the user name and only that user's password will unlock the screen. Previous OS versions had both user and password fields and would accept admin credentials. OS 10.7-10.9 allowed for a config file change that would display user and password fields.
    For most machines, it's no problem to just disable the screensaver but many administrators have confidential information and require security measures. It's also important to note that due to network configuration, I am unable to enable fast user switching.
    Thanks in advance for any help solving this issue.
    Various Macs - desktop & laptop
    OS 10.6-10.10.2

    While I'm very curious how to unlock a user's screen through user switching it appears as though I've worked it out -
    option+return will give you user and password fields as long as the account is not an admin account.
    I tested this on an admin account and that's why it didn't work. Thanks for all the help.

    No problem.
    I haven't tested this, but see if you can get a Female RS-332 / Female USB adapter from a computer store.  The Female RS-332 end connects to a 9 PIN COM (serial) male port on your destop computer:
    They are usually not found on laptops.  Do not confuse this port with a VGA monitor port.  It is also referred to as a DB9 or COM port.  The other end of the adapter will be a female USB port in which you can connect your blackberry to the computer via a USB cable.  Then, uninstall the current version of Blackberry Desktop Manager on your computer, then install version 3.5a on your computer.  Go to:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Then select drop down menu and select Blacbkerry Desktop Software v3.5a.  Versions 3.5a and under do not prompt the user for a password on the desktop side and thus can perform backup and restore functions for their blackberry.  However, these versions of BB desktop software require a COM (serial) connection and this is where the adapter plays an importan part.  With the proper adapter the software should be able to detect the device.  Good luck

  • HT1212 i forgot password to unlock my iphone 4s.  do i have to wait till completely disabled to restore?

    i keep trying to sync it but it keeps tellng me to enter password. i disabled it a couple time,  do i hae to wait till completely disabled?

    Restore from backup on the last computer you synced with, while the passcode was in place. If you have not synced, while the passcode was in place, then you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:
    Turn your phone off, then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still dont see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  See if that clears the glitch.
