Hi I forgot my passcode, how can I access?

Hi Folks,
I drew a blank on my passcode, to unlock - Is there a generic code to unlock until I can reset my passcode?

    Hey wunstorf,
I sm so sorry to hear about you forgetting your passcode on your iPhone. I know that I forget my passwords for various accounts all the time! Now, if you were speaking about the code for simply unlocking your phone, this would have been set up by you in the Settings. There is no default for this code. If you have forgotten this, you may need to plug your device into iTunes and restore the device since it is not able to be accessed.
If this is for your Apple ID though, you can reset your password for that at www.iforgot.apple.com.
Please let us know if you've gotten it or any other help that we can provide. Thanks!

    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.

  • I forgot my passcode, how can i enter my ipad ????

    i forgot my ipad passcode, so i searched the net looking for a solution but none of them worked even that one which include connecting the ipad to pc itunes and resetting it !!!!!! im really helpless, wt can i do to re-enter my ipad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! help please

    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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPad into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device. Do the following:
    Connect the device to the computer to which you normally sync;
    Open iTunes (Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes" in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 )
    Right-click the device in the left column of  iTunes and select Back up (read this article on how to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 )
    When the backup is complete, select Restore
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup
    To restore read the restore section in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

    Follow the process mentioned below step by step to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad working.
    Make sure you have Latest Version of iTunes (11.1.3) Downloaded and Installed on your Computer, if not then you can download the latest version of iTunes from the Link below.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now once you have the Updated version of iTunes installed on your computer follow the below steps to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad in Recovery Mode and Then restore it to factory settings
    Open iTunes Application on your computer and then start the process step by step
    1>Disconnect your device from the computer (if connected). The process won’t work if you start with the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad connected to the computer. Leave the cable connected to the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, as you will be reconnecting the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to the Computer later in the process.
    2>Power down your device. Turn off your device by holding down the Power button ( On Top right corner of iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad). When the power slider appears, slide it to the right. Wait for your device to comepletely shut down before continuing.
    3>Press and hold the Home button (Home Button is located at bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad screen/display). With the Home button held connect the device to your computer with the USB cable. When reconnected, your device should turn on.
    (If the low battery screen appears, charge your device for a few minutes and try the process again.)
    4>Continue holding the Home button. After a few moments, you will see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your device. This screen is a picture of an arrow pointing from a USB cable to the iTunes logo. When you see the screen you can release the Home button.
    5>iTunes will display a message stating that a device in recovery mode has been connected. From there you can proceed to restore your iOS device. Once you see this message click on OK and then click on Restore
    Once you click on Restore iTunes will download the Latest available version of iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad software (ipsw file) in your computer and after the download is completed the same will be restored in your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. You will see the Download process and Restore process on top of your iTunes screen. Once the restore is completed your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad will automatically restart and you will see a message that iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad has been Restored and will connect after restart.
    Now you will have to follow some steps on your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to Customize your Device for First Use.
    Hope this process will help you

    Connect the device to the computer you normally sync with.
    Open iTunes. If iTunes asks you to enter your passcode or asks you to allow access, try another computer that you've synced with. Or use recovery mode. (Click the link to be taken to the steps.)
    iTunes will automatically sync your device and create a backup. If it doesn't, sync the device with iTunes.
    After the sync is complete, restore your device.
