Someone changed my passcode! How do I reset my phone without a power cord or iTunes?

Well earlier this week, my iPhone 5c was stolen. but I got it back from the school's office. I had a passcode sent on it before so i simply entered that passcode into the phone but it wouldn't let me in at all. Now i guess you can say that the person who took my phone bypassed the passcode and changed it. I was wondering how do you reset the phone without a power cord or iTunes?

Unfortunately, you can't. You will need to access the computer you sync with and use iTunes. This link will provide help:

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline?

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline? When I press a mobile number in contacts, the phone automatically phones the number. I do not mind this as I hardly ever send texts, but I would like to have the option of what to do. This seems such an obvious issue but I can not solve it even with much web searching. Thanks!

I can't delete my question, so I'll just say that you press on the type of number written in the box to the left of the box you typye the number into. Dumb or what?

Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City

How can I reset my phone all setting and data off iphone 4without passward

how can I reset my phone all setting and data off iphone 4without passward

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

you will want to go to settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings. this will take you to setup assistant again to choose icloud backup.
*MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A BACKUP
*MAKE SURE YOU CAN CONNECT TO WIFI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After you do the steps Janessa provided you, when the setup screen comes up after you restore the device, you will have to choose "Restore this Device from iCloud", and that will allow you to get all the information you have backed up on iCloud, and like Janessa said make 100% sure you 1, have a backup in iCloud, and 2, The backup in iCloud is somewhat up to date

Without the Apple ID and password the phone was originally activated with, you will not be able to activate the phone. No one here can help you, and neither can Apple. So, unless you or your friend can remember that ID, you will never be able to activate the phone.

How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

To restore it follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
Before you do the above check out the following;
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

How do I reset trackpad gestures to defaults?

Morning,
I have a new rMBP and I've restored my user account, files etc from a Time Machine backup of a 2007 MBP, also running Mavericks. I've found that forward/backward (two-finger) swipes don't work very well in programs like Safari, iPhoto etc. I'll start swiping and the page will get halfway across the screen and then snap back, and it's next to impossible to get it to properly go to the next/previous page.
For testing, I created a new user account and everything is working fine on that, so my guess is that I've imported some settings from my old laptop (which didn't support multitouch gestures) which are causing problems. But, is there a way I can reset all of the gesture preferences to defaults? (Is it even a gesture preference, or is it some other OS configuration element)?
I've tried copying over the com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad.plist and com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist from ~Library/Preferences on the new user account to my old one, with no effect. I've even tried deleting the whole contents of ~Library/Preferences and logging out/back in - nothing. All my swipe/click settings are preserved so they must be stored somewhere else.
If I delete the com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad.plist file and then change my swipe settings via System Preferences, the file isn't even recreated, so I'm struggling to tell where it's inherited from and where the click and gesture settings are kept.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions how I can reset the trackpad behaviour to default, so back/forward swiping will work properly again...!
Thanks

Use a pin to press the reset for 5 seconds until the light flashes rapidly.

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
