How do I reset without an Apple Computer?

I have a PC computer so I don't have an Apple to reset my phone, how do I go about this dilemma?

If you have iTunes on your PC then it's exactly the same as using a Mac. If you don't have iTunes on your PC then it's easy to download from the Apple website.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do i reset my entire apple id info?"

Received ipad for christmas. Kids put in incorrect birthdate. How do I reset?
I have gone through the Apple Id page and attempted to retype info but receive "incorrect info" message.
Apple email and password is okay.

Unfortunately you'll have to contact Apple Support, as changing these details too easily would be a possible security issue, given that credit card details and purchasing is involved.

How do I reset my Windows 10 computer to factory defaults?

QuestionHow do I reset my Windows 10 computer to factory defaults?
AnswerNote: This article describes resetting a Windows 10 computer to factory defaults. You can read separate articles on performing something similar in Windows 8 or Windows 7.
A system reset will remove your installed applications and rebuild the Windows 10 system files.
You can choose whether you want to keep your files or remove everything.
If you choose to keep your files, your applications will be removed, system settings will be reset, and Windows files will be rebuilt. Your data and documents will remain intact on your computer.
If you choose to remove everything, your data and documents will also be removed.
To learn what other recovery options are available to you in Windows 10, read the following article:
What recovery options are available in Windows 10?
To perform a reset, follow these steps:
Open the Start Menu and select Settings.
Select Update & security and then Recovery.
Under Reset this PC, select Get started.
Choose either Keep my files or Remove everything. If you choose to remove everything, you might be given the choice of resetting all drives and partitions or resetting only the one on which Windows is installed. Choose the option you prefer. Not everyone will see this selection.
You might also see additional options depending on whether Windows 10 came pre-installed on your computer or if you upgraded to Windows 10. Choose the options you prefer and follow the prompts to complete the reset.
You can also watch this video explaining how to do this:

Hi there,
A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Forgot computer password how do I reset without losing all of my content

How can I create a account, mainly for webmail, if I recently bought a Mac Mini but never situated it and am on vacation now without a Apple computer ?

I read ICloud has a program you can download to be able to use it for messages on a Windows machine but it still requires that you already established an account on an Apple device with Operating System 5 on higher and I prefer an option without installing anything to have easy access when going to a cyber or internet cafe. The ME site refers you to ICloud but that fails to help me.
My Mac Mini is basically new with a one year warranty with free support ( ??? ) and maybe I can call a technical support center but international calls could be costly from here so this is my last resort.
A Apple store is nowhere to be found in this country so I hope to gain as much advice as possible from here.

I appreciate your reply Ralph but I got no way of using an APPLE device with operating system 5 or better because the internet cafe and hotels here use Windows computers as mentioned the first time. The Icloud instructions for a Microsoft machine still require you to initialize the account on a Macintosh prior to being able to use it on other electronics.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

How do I reset Panther for Apple setup

I have a G3 iMac that I no longer use and I want to give to a brother-in-law. So as to have a nice clean system I reformatted the hd and did a new install of Panther. To update the software I had to create an admin user and log on to use "software update". Now I want to remove the admin user and basicly reset it like it just came out of the box from Apple, but with all the software up-to-date. Is this possible?

mac4ever:
Here is a short method and a long method posted by Kappy:
This is the simple method and doesn't involve erasing the hard drive.
Boot from your OS X Installer. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Next, boot to single user mode. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until the computer starts up to a black screen with white type.
3. At the prompt, type the following commands, each command followed by the Return key:
/sbin/fsck -yf
mount -uw /
rm /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when you reboot, it will send you through the Startup Wizard.
This is the long method:
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
First, back up the data:
1) Shut down all Virtual PCs. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
2) Clone to an external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner.
Next, prepare the machine for the new buyer:
3) Deauthorize the computer in iTunes! Deauthorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
4) Remove Open Firmware passwords
5) Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
Install a fresh OS:
6) Insert the OS X install CD/DVD.
7) Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
8) Run Disk Utility from the file menu and erase the internal hard drive (optionally zero all data).
9) Install OS X.
10) Reboot the computer.
11) From the welcome screen, you can skip the registration step by typing command-Q.
12) When prompted, create an account (it will be an admin account).
13) From your new admin account, configure networking.
14) Then use Software Update to bring your system and all of it's applications up to date.
15) From Disk Utility, repair permissions on the new volume.
Now delete the account you just created:
16) Boot from a different volume (e.g. a firewire drive, if available)
17) Clean up the image using the following terminal commands:
prompt> rm /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/BootCache.playlist
prompt> rm /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/volinfo.database
prompt> rm -r /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/vm/swap*
18) Now you can get rid of the admin account you used to set up the machine Use the terminal:
prompt> nicl -raw /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -delete /users/<admin>
prompt> rm -r /Volumes/<imagevol>/Users/<admin>
prompt> rm /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
19) Shut down and ship it to your buyer. When they get it, it will boot to the Welcome screen just like a factory Mac, except that it's better because it's completely up to date.
With acknowledgements to Kappy
Good luck.

HT4798 My password for the apple Id is somehow incorrect. But I try the same password on my iPhone App Store. How can I reset password using apple id?

I tried to reset my password using apple Id method, but the password I typed is incorrect. I'm sure that that's the right password because I use that ID for downloading apps from my iPhone every time. So what's wrong? That's my only way I can reset my password because I forgot my master password.:(
HELP HELP HELP

Hi Davehov,
What iOS is the phone running? If it is iOS 7, then as ramzee209 indicated, you must contact the seller to get any further.
If it is running an earlier iOS, you can hook it up to the computer where you iTunes library is located, and restore it:
Place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Cheers,
GB

My iCloud account keeps resetting my password. How can i reset all my Apple devices at once?

I have 8 devices to reset each time. It resets the password anywhere from 3 days up to 2 weeks. I getting a little much to keep doing this.

I have this same issue. If you have had your Apple ID for a long time, there used to be a setting that indicated the frequency in which it would force a reset. The switch to change that frequency is no longer part of the Apple ID management website. I read online that calling Apple could help - that they would reset it for you. I tried that a couple of months ago last time it happened. They told me that next time I should just put in the same password three times and it would all be over. However, when I tried that tonight, it wouldn't accept a password which had been previously used. Like you, I have a bunch of devices and an Apple TV - painful.
