Forgotten passcode, can anyone help
I put a passcode on my Ipod touch but I can't remember what it was now. I have read the manual on how to restore, but I can't because my ipod doesn't show up in itunes to be able to restore it. Can anyone help me please.
Ok I figured it out!!! YAY
If anyone else has this problem, here is what I did...
1. Connect Ipod to Itunes
2. Press and hold the power and the home buttons for 10 seconds (until screen goes black)
3. Once screen is black, release the power button (make sure you don't release the home button)
4. When Itunes says "we have detected an itouch in recovery mode" then release the home button.
5. Then in Itunes under the summary tab, hit the restore button and wait.
It took about 20 minutes but at least now I have my Ipod back.

I locked my restrictions because my daughter that is 3 likes to delete my apps well i locked them using a passcode and have 27 failed attempts and obviously can not remember it can anyone help me please!!!!!!! i have restored it and still cant unlock it
The Restrictions passcode is included with the iPhone's backup so if you don't know the restrictions passcode, you must restore your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

I have forgotten my iphone passcode, can anyone help me please? thanks
I recently changed my iphone 4 passcode, soon i forgot it, i have tried and tried to remember but i cant.so now my iphone is disabled. i tried backing up my iphone on itunes but it told me that i need to turn off "find my iphone" on my device which i cant access, i ive looked online and i found out that i can go onto icloud and earase it that way. So i did, it then told me that it will be erased when my iphone is connected to the internet, sadly it is not connected. I dont know what to do. I would appreciate the help
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device with your backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode.
If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, or you've never synced, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device or with an old backup if one is available.

my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?
- To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore. -

‘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 cancelling 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.

I'm guessing you mean you forgot the passcode you use to unlock the iPad.

I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad
Hey salosawaya,
If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Thank you Chris. Yes I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off. All the forums visited said it was under general. I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly. Susie
