How to bypass 'pass code' at startup?

About 5 days ago, my iMac began shutting down all by itsself and hen restarting asking for a 4-digit passcode.  I entered it and things were fine.  It is still shutting down and now will not accept the pass code.  Is there a way around or a way to reset that faulty pass code?

By "pass code" I assume you mean the password you use to boot your mac. If so you can go to system prefs. then click on "users & groups". Then click on "log in options" (the icon of a house at the bottom left of window) Set it for "automatic login" for your name. Then, whenever you boot, it will not ask for your apssword.

  • HT1414 How to unlock pass code

    Hi My I pad is stuck in lost mode we misplaced it for a few weeks. I set up find my I pad on another device since I have found the missing I pad but it's asking me for a pass code which I don't have. How do i reset my I pad??

    The screen passcode would be whatever you set when you locked the iPad. If you've forgotten that code, restore the iPad from the computer to which the iPad is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPad into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

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

  • I gave an ipod touch to my daughter  and she wants to reset it but I don't remember my pass code. Is there a way to bypass this or how do I reset it?

    I gave an ipot touch to my daughter and she wants to reset it because you can not delete the games my grandchildren put on it. When you hold the game you want to delete wiggles but never has an "X" to delete. We tried to reset it but wants a pass code which I don't remember I s there anything I can do?   Thanks

    Could you mention the names of apps?
    It should/can be deleted except the pre-installed system apps!

  • HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, i jUst purchased?

    How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

    If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
    Everything on the phone will be lost.
    You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

    Hi Abdul,
    Sorry for my unprecise answer, but you talk about a tcode, but you're using a BAPI Call. Maybe you want to call the transaction in batch mode?

  • How do I find out what the restrictions pass code is

    My son is trying to purchase some additions to a game but when accessing the App Store he is asked for the restriction pass code. However we don't recall setting one up for him and he hasn't been asked for this before. Why? How do we find out what it is?  This is since upgrading to version 5.1.

    If you restricted in-app-purchases in Settings/General/Restrictions, and you don't remember the restriction code anymore to disable the restrictions, you'll have to set up the iPod as new device again, without using the latest backup, the restriction code is part of the backup and can't be changed by restoring the device from a backup that has been taken after the code has been set.
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If there are no restrictions set, the code he is asking for is the iTunes ID password, to be able to purchase and download. If you have forgotten that one, follow this article to reset it:

    Hello Kewal,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update.  I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.
