Forgotten password and unable to restore from ITunes as it is saying i need to disable 'find my phone'

Hi
I would be really grateful if someone could help me. I have forgotten my password as i reset it last night when i was half asleep. I have tried restoring from back up but it will not let me as it is saying I need to disable find my phone. I can't do this as i can't access it on my phone and i cannot see where to do it on ICloud. Any information and help would be apprciated.
Many thanks

  • IPhone 4 (iOS 6) text messages disappeared and unable to restore from itunes. There's more...

    I decided against upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4, however I did download some of the latest updates for my apps (which I assume were iOS 7 updates). The next day, all my text messages disappeared.
    I tried to restore my phone through iTunes, but it refused to sync. And then it refused to restore completely. I thought I might need an upgrade on iTunes to allow it to talk to my phone. However, iTunes refuses to believe there are any new versions available ( I haven't updated it since early 2013, so I'm sure there's been updates).
    I have since been unable to back up my phone and now I'm afraid of:
    1. Losing all the new text messages and data I've since accumulated in the last few months and been unable to back up.
    2. Losing the old text messages and data stored through iTunes on my mac.
    Any advice would be appreciated. How can I sync everything back up? Or at least make sure my old data is saved somewhere without risk of erasing and then somehow get my phone to sync with itunes again.
    I suspect that the app updates may have brought this on.
    Looking forward to your advice!

  • I installed iOS 5 on my iPad and unable to  Download from iTunes store

    I installed iOS 5 on my iPad and unable to  Download from iTunes store

    Hi all...I just got a solution to the problem. It's foolproof. Connect your iPad to your PC and re-install iOS 6. In case you would like to know how - Click on iPad in iTunes and then click on restore button. Then just follow the steps from there on. It worked for me. I know this is a "not-the-desired" solution, but it will fix your problem. For me it solved another problem - I had noticed a deterioration in speed when I had originally upgraded from 5 to 6. After doing this re-install, I can confirm, there is a noticeable difference in speed...across the board, including Siri responses. Thanks and best of luck.

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
    Thanks,

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT201263 iPhone 4 stuck in reboot and will not restore from iTunes

    My iPhone 4 started having a severe battery drain. Today when it went dead, I charged it and received a message to plug it into iTunes to restore. I'm not stuck in a reboot loop and keep getting errors in iTunes such as 1602 and 2001 when I try to restore it. Any suggestions?

    Disable the security software on the computer temporarily.
    Connect the device and update it.

  • Iphone crash downloading iOS 6 and unable to restore using iTunes  due to error 3253

    I'm from New Zealand and woke up this morning to find the iOS 6 was available. So after an hour of downloading onto my iPhone 3GS, it wiped my phone, sent it into restore mode. I connected to iTunes - have been trying for almost 8 hours!!!!!!!! and it is unable to download iOS6 due to error 3252, connection resetting and error 23.
    have done everything, all firewalls and anti-virus are switched off, upgraded to latest version of iTunes, turned off computer, re set the internet a million times. Won't downald on anyone eses computer in this house, and friends using other internet have the same problem.
    My iPhone is now off and will not turn on! What the **** is going on Apple??? I spend a fortune on these products and these latest updates ahve been nothing but trouble!
    Please can anyone help, im getting really p@#$@d off!!!!!!!

    I had this problem at first initially, and tried it 4 or 5 times.  Once I made sure that no other unnecessary software was running, the restore worked successfully.  However, it sounds like you've probably tried that.  Good Luck.

  • HT201210 Everything is up to date & yet my phone has gone from not being able to update to now being in recovery mode & unable to restore from iTunes

    Okay so I'm based in Australia & own a iPhone 5s
    So sometime this faternoon my pohone was perfectly fine. Had my usual signal per suaul when all of a sudden for 8hours my phone started searching for a signal. I asked friends and they had no problem with there phone. So I went to my phone provider for helo (Telstra) & basically all they told me was to do what I told them I was doing. I tried updating my phone to see if that was the cause of the probelm but what happened? iTunes said that it was unable to update & you guessed it & put it in bloody recovery mode! I go to restore it & yes you guessed it again iTunes had an error with that. Was the link it sent me to help? Nope, I had done all of it., My phone is un-accessilbe & iTunes is doing nothing at all

    There is nothing to backup.
    If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
    The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.

  • My iphone 4s froze last night and won't do anything.  I have iOS7, my power button is not working, so I can't reset my phone.  I've tried to restore through iTunes, but it's telling me to turn off find my phone. I can't do that if my phone does nothing

    I've tried all that I know how to do.  My power button quit working awhile ago so I use the Assistive Touch to lock my screen.  Once my phone froze, the screen went black.  The only thing I can do now on my phone is hold down the home key and Siri will beep but she says "not taking requests at this time, try again later."  I can't reset my phone without the power key or the Assistive Touch button.  I've tried plugging into iTunes to restore the phone but I get an error message to first go to Settings in my phone and turn off "find my iPhone."  I can't do that either as nothing will come up on my screen.

    Make sure iTunes is up to date and try again.

    Hi I have an iPhone 4 and suddenly it stopped working. Could here notifications and nothing on the diisplay. Wake up  button on top is not working. so unable to restart the phone. Wanted to try restore from iTunes but Find my iPhone (iCloud) is on. How to recover or restart my Phone

    Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
    Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
    If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
    Note:    You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Turn off the device you want to remove.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
    Note:    If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.

    Hello hskod,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
    You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
    Leaving the password field blank
    Your Apple ID password
    Your computer account password, if you have one
    Email passwords you may have used
    Your Wi-Fi network password
    Website passwords you may have used
    A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
    Have a nice day,
