How do you reset your passcode so that you can get back into your iphone if you forgot it?
i changed my passcode to get into my iphone and i went away and when i got back i had forgot my passcode, and i really need to get into my iphone how do i get into it even though i have forgot my passcode?
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

HT4236 how do i get back into my ipod if i forgot the password
how do i get back into my ipod if i forgot the password
If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

I no longer have the PC that had my CD library and purchased music on iTunes. I am now on another PC and managed to download my purchased iTunes music etc. Is there a way on iTunes that I can get back my old CD music library without ripping again ? Earlier back up is corrupted. Thank you in advance. No longer have my old iPod but getting new one.
If you had the hard drive from the original machine, a backup of the same, an iPod with the media, or a subscription to iTunes Match then there would have been hope, but alas no.
For the future see Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.

Is there any way that I can get back my iPhoto? After having hard disk replaced (no backup) and the operating system has been updated to Lion (no disc) I am wondering if iPhoto can be reinstalled with my Leopard discs?
As Niel pointed out, yes. The disk probably will look like the MBP disk (4) in this screenshot;

Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!
Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Thanks,
Matt M. -

How can I get back into my iPod when I forgot my combination?
I set a combination lock on my iPod nano (3rd generation). Next time I tried to unlock my iPod, I realized I forgot my combo...How can I get back into my iPod? I appreciate any help you have to offer. Thank you!
If you do not know the passcode, then your only option is to restore the iPod to factory settings via iTunes.

I will be obliged to get the suggestionsHello,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. I just have a few questions for you to help us clarify your application:
What API, such as LabVIEW or C, are you programming your application in?
Are you using Vision, and if so what specific functions are you currently using?
Is the lighting consistent and just the color of the trays changing?
How are you displaying the image in your program? Are you using an Image Display control?/li>
Depending on what functions you have available, then we may be able to work on finding a way to distinguish between the different intensities. If you could provide a little information to your application based on these questions then will be able to better understand and help you with your app
lication.

Does anyone know how I can get my old one unlocked?
If you have the computer to which the iPhone was last synched, you can restore the iPhone on that computer. That will remove the lock. If not, then you have absolutely no choice but to place the phone into recover mode (search Google for instructoins) and restore the phone as a NEW device.

How to get back into my iphone 4
I Bought an Iphone from an craigslist and I signed in with my icloud and then I locked the screen then turn it back on and now I can't get back in even if I type the password it just goes back to this phone has been erased
iPhone 4, iOS 7.1
When I plug the phone into itunes it says log in with the apple id of the person who erased the phone I try my apple ID but it doesn't work and the ad on craigslist for the sellers number isn't up anymore what else do I do?
I did already log into the phone and everything I set my icloud up on the device but when I turn the screen off after putting in my passcode lock it was fine then I closed the screen then I tried to open it again with the passcode the apple logo came up and it brings me back to iphone lostYou have some very long, difficult sentence-like structures above.
But it sounds like you purchaed the iPhone from Craigslist, and are being asked for the original owner's Apple ID and password, and cannot supply that information.
In that case, your iPhone has been Activation Locked (explained here), and will remain useless to you:
