How can I set a new passcode?

How can I set a new passcode.  I cannot remember my old passcode and now I can't get in.  I can get phone calls and see text when it's sent to me but am unable to use. Help me please!!!!!

The only answer for that is RESTORE your iPhone using any functioning computer with iTunes. Yes, you are going to loose all the data,
Actually, wrong!!  If you try to restore using a computer the phone hasn't synced with, you'll have to enter the passcode into iTunes during the restore.
In my experience, the most effective method for people who simultaneously "forget" the passcode that they had to use many times a day, and mysteriously lose access to the computer the phone synced with, is to ask the rightful owner for the passcode or return the phone to him.
There is another method involving recovery mode, but the OP is on his own for that.
Question:  Is is better to let your data "loose", or lose your data?

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. 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 turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT1212 Hello   my kids Ipad mini is disabled, so I connected to the computer and now its asking for the passcode, which is not know.  How do i set a new passcode?

    Forgetten Passcode for Ipad mini,  How do I reset the passcode?
    Thx

    You can't just reset the passcode.  You'll have to restore the device.
    Follow the directions in this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that doesn't work, you need to use recovery mode:

    Next time write the passcode somewhere safe for future reference.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?

    Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
    Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?

    The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
    If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
    You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
    *browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
    *browser.newtabpage.rows (3)

  • HT201269 Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account.  They have purchased music and apps.  I need to set up their own accounts since when on my account they also get my ext messages.  How can I set up new accounts and transfer what they purchased from my ac

    Hi.  My kids are all on my itunes account.  As a result they also ge my text messages.  I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased.  Can this be done?

    You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

  • How can I set a new default app for .flac

    10.6.8
    This doesn't work:
    To change the application that opens a document:
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an application from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different application.
    If  you want to use that application to open all documents of the same type  as the current document and created by the same application, click  Change All.
    There is no "open with" section in "Get Info"
    I  have seen an open with dialog when clicking a file but it's not now  happening. One app (Wave pad--- trial)was selected, trash that app and  another (Audacity) is now default. I was never asked. I can change one  at a time in Get Info (Select New Original) but can't find a Change All option.
    Any ideas?

    If you do a Get Info (Control click and choose get info), you do not get a window like this with the choices I've circled?

  • How can I set a new directory path for iPhoto lib & photos?

    I'd like to use an external drive to house all the iPhoto related files including the Library, data files and photos. I don't see an iPhoto Preference to set a different path. Is there another method to accomplish this? Should I edit the directory path as listed in the AlbumData.xml file?
    Thanks!

    Hi Nova,
    copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder (in your Pictures folder) to the external.
    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down.
    At the prompt choose to open another library
    Navigate to the library on the external and choose it.
    Once it opens on the external this is the library iPhoto will use.
    You can then delete the one on the internal or save it as backup or burn it for backup.

  • How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

    In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.

    Try using this extension. <br />
