    You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

    Sorry, there's no way around Activation Lock. So, give the phone back to your "friend", as you will never be able to use it.
    Apple can't/won't help you.

  • How can you bypass a password-

    How can you bypass a password.  This is my son's phone and he is in trouble.  I need to access his phone.  The account is in my name.  ATT won't help.

    There is no way to bypass the lock screen password. If there were it would not provide any security. It's not AT&T refusing to help; they can't, because the only place the lock code is stored is on the phone. If the phone is backed up regularly to a computer or to iCloud you can restore it as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and then restore the backup. You will still need the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set up Find my iPhone.

    You cannot delete the account from the server (partly to prevent the username from becoming available again and some-one else using it to pretend to be you).. Having disengaged your devices from it, go to http://icloud.com and delete any data in there such as contacts and calendars. Then just ignore it.

    I need to have my macbook pro repaired how can I hide passwords and banking info?

    Create a new admin account named repair and only give them the password for that account. Alternately you could back up or clone your system, erase the hard drive and then reinstall OS X with one admin account that has no personal information.

  • How can i set password for a backup?

    ::I am using 10g xe
    I am gettin gbackup through RMAN, how can i set password for each backup? I want to protect my backup so that no one other could use it if he copies the backup files.
    Faheem

    Just use "SET ENCRYPTION ON IDENTIFIED BY password ONLY" command in your RMAN scripts. Look at the advanced backup manual for details: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp006.htm#sthref632

  • How can i bypass IPs shared secret or certificate when connecting to an older microsoft vpn network

    I have a macbook pro running Lion.  When I attempt to connect via VPN I am asked for either a shared secret or a certificate, but the Microsoft server does not use or recognize either.  How can I bypass this requirement so I can access files I desperately need for work?

    I am most certainly Not wrong, I just spent an hour sitting with the system administrator and he was befuddled!  The network does not require machine authentication.  Lion seems to think all networks do.
    My connection is set up for PPP (no PPTP option exists, but certainly is NOT under L2TP)
    The machine authentication is required by Lion no matter how we set it up. 
    Any other ideas?

  • WebVPN Content Rewrite - how can we bypass it?

    We are publishing a Bookmark through a WebVPN portal to a server on the inside of our network.  That bookmark is made available to users via DAP.
    The bookmark works for the most part, however the internal website does not function very well through the content-rewrite engine of the Cisco ASA.  Upon further inspection of traffic, packet captures from the egress interface of the ASA vs. packet captures of an internal host who successfully loads the internal website show that the Cisco ASA is rewriting the http header of the get request.  There are whole fields of the http header that are missing.
    In any case, we just want the ASA to reverse proxy the website to the outside world over a secure tunnel.  How can we bypass the content rewrite engine?
    And before anyone submits a URL to Cisco's documention on Content rewrite, take a close look it.  First it says, "here is how to disable content rewrite for a destination...but further on it says, here is how to make your destination split tunnel.  Which is it?  Are we disabling content rewrite, or are we split tunneling the traffic, because, split tunneling doesn't help since the web content is still inside our network.
    I tried the Proxy Bypass but it does not improve the functionality of the site.  So, long story short, pretty frustrated with WebVPN as a Reverse Proxy. 
    Anyone out there no how to really, truly, bypass the content rewrite?             

    As to content rewriter.
    (this is going to be a crude and possibly not 100% accurate explanation, but you seem to know your way around HTTP/SSL etc).
    The way ASA clientless VPN is, it's more of a SSL/TLS-protected proxy connection rather than a typical VPN tunnel.
    This allows quite a bit of features to ride on top (overlay, smart tunneling, port forwarding, ...) etc but also poses some technical challanges.
    It requires that certain information is relayed and certain obfuscated (e.g who's doing name resolution - ASA, what will we do with cookies dependning on their types).
    So we've created content rewrite engine to make sure that once it's presented to user browser, it all seems like it's coming from ASA - the proxy. This requires some effort in terms of rewriting content of HTTP stream so it's retains it original functionality.
    Thus most of the time you don't want to bypass rewirter - you want to make sure it rewrites it properly.
    M.
    edit: Is it a security feature? Not really so, but it does protect your client from potentially bad pages, because it will parse them before presenting thjem to users.
