How do unlock my settings on my iphone when ive forgotten the password?

my little brother has managed to lock my settings app on my iphone ........... hold one of the apps until they all shake .... and a little padlock appears and its red i dont know the password to access it what do i do? x

as long as the previous backup was before you added the password restoring from backup will work great, otherwise i would make sure you import photos to your computer first and transfer purchases in itunes cause you are going to have to just restore as new phone and next time right down the password or not use one

    ive forgotten the password to my iphone.how can i get on it?

    Restore from backup on the last computer you synced with while the passcode was enabled. This will remove the passcode. If you have not synced since setting the passcode, then:
    You'll have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore as a new device:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, restoring as "New" will be your only option.

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT4113 How do I unlock my sons ipod touch as he has forgotten the password!

    My son has forgotten his passcode, how do you reset please?
    Tried the on/off button with round button hold for ten seconds, no joy....

    On/Off turning doesn't solve this Issue.
    The only way for that is a forced restore (that means a restore and will delete all data from die iPod).
    1. Turn the iPod Off
    2. Put the USB cable in ur PC (direct not in a HUB)
    3. Press the Home Button
    4. Put the USB cable in the iPod (still pressing the Home button)
    5. Now the iPod should appear in iTunes > make a restore
    Yes the complete data on the iPod will be deleted, no there is no other way as long as nobody knows the password.

  • How do you do a reset of the iPhone when ive forgotten 4 digit code for restrictions?

    I gave my mum my old original iPhone 3 and set restrictions so she was unable to add or remove apps.  I have forgot the 4 digit pin! I have tried to do a full reset of the phone but it still asks for the pin. I'v also tried to resolve with iTunes, and its not allowing me to add or remove apps from there or resest the phone. HELP!!  I do have the 4 digit security code to unlock the phone. It asks for this first in the reset but then asks for the other which I have forgot.
    I've had 34 failed attempts and can now only try a new one every hour.

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
    You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...

  • How do I sync my photos to iPhone when I get the message "A duplicate file name was specified"!!!! Note there are no duplicates in my iPhoto database

    I have used iPhoto manager to ensure no duplicates in the iPhoto database. The message should at least tell you what the duplicate was called!!

    I have a 27" iMac with the latest version of iTunes.  I tried restoring my iPod and even removing and re-installing iTunes.  What eventually worked for me was plugging into my PC and restoring/reformatting it to work with my PC.  I don't know why it wouldn't work with my iMac, but now it seems to be working.

    All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.

    Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted.  Do you actually mean Restore the phone?  See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

  • How can i unlock my unlock my iphone 4 i forgot the password?

    how can i unlock my iphone 4 i forgot the password?

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:
