How can i get inot my phone if i have forgotten my password in?

I've forgotten my password into my iPhone 3GS. Any way of me getting in to my phone to change it?

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

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

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

  • I have had 3 days worth of unauthorised purchases. How can I get my money back?  I have changed my password again and I have disabled my credit card.  My account is constantly getting hacked

    I am sick of getting hacked..... This is the 3rd time my account has been hacked.  This time it has only been for $30-40 but it is very alarming that it is getting hacked at all.  I have changed my password agian to a random thing.   Lets see how long I can stay hacked free this time.  If this continues I may have to put a formal complaint in to Apple.  And maybe only buy non-apple products....

    It's most likely not you, no matter what they say. I have noticed a LOT of fraud with itunes, even with my own account. One time I caught them doing a database restore. I know this because my password automagically reverted back to an old one! I'm an IT guy who helped design DOD classified networks in the mid-pacific. I know security. The best protection for this is to NOT have a credit card listed in iTunes. Use iTunes cards ONLY. It's a pain, but until they step up, it's all you got.

  • HT4623 how can I get into my Ipad when I have forgotten my passcode

    Someone in the family has changed the passcode to my Ipad - It could have been me - but no one remembers doing it. We are now locked out of the Ipad. How can I get back in!

    Connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

    My iPhone has been locked because I forgot my passcode.   How can I get into my phone?

    Restore it as explained in the article you were just reading.  If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808).

    If you have Outlook 2007 or higher and Vista SP2 or higher, set up iCloud on your PC and enable syncing with Outlook, as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.  Make sure your PC and phone are signed into the same account, and that you have enabled contact syncing with iCloud on your phone.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

    My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store.  I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID.  Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com).  I don't have a MobileMe account.

    I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

  • Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two? iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first

    Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two! iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first account where there is no available password. I have tried several times to reset the password, bun I don't get the information I need - I have no access to email. What can I do?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    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.
