How do I change the passcode

I would like to change the passcode used to open the computer.  How do I do this?

You have to restore the device with iTunes. There is no way to get rid of the Passcode. This explains how to do it. Even you haven't seen the red disabled screen yet, the only way to unlock the phone now is by restoring it - unless your granddaughter can remember the password.
Pay attention to the part about "if you never synced with a computer" . You may need to use that method - recovery mode - in order to restore the phone.

    how do i change the passcode for using my ipad which i created when i set up findmyiphone.  this is different from my apple id and password

    On both your devices go to Settings>iCloud, then scroll down and click "Delete Account". You can then sign back in using your updated details.
    Note: "Delete Account" will not delete data from iCloud, it will simply remove the account from your device.

    Do not try to backup directly before the restore. If you do, the backup will also have the passcode information. So if you restore that backup, you'll just put the passcode back on.
    The backup does not contain the passcode.  Restoring the backup does not put it back on the phone.

  • How to change the passcode

    How can i change the passcode on my Ipad?

    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.
    You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

  • How do I change the 4 digit passcode to a 5 digit passcode on an iPad?

    How do I change the 4 digit passcode to a 5 digit passcode for an iPad?

    Yes, once you have entered the ID into the passcode, and turned off the simple passcode option, you are then free to set the new password any way you wish, and 5 numeric digits is possible, but so is 15 alphanumeric if that is your desire.

  • Is there a way to keep my child from changing the passcode I set up on his iPhone4? If not, how can I gain access to his phone if he refuses to tell me the passcode?

    He has an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.2. When setting up restrictions on his phone, there is no option to disable changing the passcode. He is very deceitful and has changed the passcode on it before, which resulted in me having to do a factory restore. I want to be able to see what he's looking at and doing on it.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • HT5622 I just updated my iphone and now it asks for a passcode. Can I use the phone without a passcode? if not, how do I change the one I entered today?

    Nobody here can unlock it.
    Only the person whose iCloud account it asks the password for can do it. Contact them.

  • I changed the passcode on my 4G and now I can't remember it.  I have to have my phone for work.  How do I get it unlocked?  PLEASE HELP

    Hi-i changed the passcode on my 4G and now I cannot remember it - I must have it for work - can you help me reset it or at least take the passcode off?

    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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

  • Upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

    upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

    So now I went back to the screen that orginally asked me for my Apple ID and passort, and instead of entering my Apple ID i entered the email address associated with it and the new password.  It now tells me "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons.  To enable your account, reset your passwort at iforgot.apple.com"
    I have now changed my password twice and it still doesn't work.
    Until I get this resolved my tablet is useless.

  • HT4113 How can you change my passcode if I forgot it?

    How can I change my passcode to get into my ipod.  I forgot the psss code.

    Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    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.

  • TS2401 How can you bypass the passcode screen if you forget the passcode number. This is a first for me in the 4 years I have had it???

    I changed the passcode to my phone a couple of days ago and for the life of me can't figure out what it is.  I need to get into the phone but don't know how without resetting the phone to origional setting.  If I do this I will not have a phone at all can anyone help.  This is a special situation.  The phone is not on a network that carries it this is why I can't reset to origional setting.  HELP

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer your phone was synced with... this will remove the passcode.
    If you do not have access to the last computer the phone was synced with, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore as a new device.
