It should be the same AppleID and password you use to log in here.
I haven't installed Find my iPhone app on the phone?
Installing the app will simply allow you to locate a different iDevice.
You don’t need to use it to locate the iPhone in your hands. If it’s not in your hands, you cannot use the app on that device...

  • How to Erase all Content and Settings and keeping IOS 7.06?

    I'd like to participate the iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Replacement Program, however than I'll have to Erase all Content and Settings and I'm afraid I'll loose IOS 7.06.

    If this is anything like standard warranty service, the unit you get back will be totally refurbished, which also means having it updated to the latest iOS release. The caveat in the program description hints this:
    Note: If your iPhone 5 has any damage such as a cracked screen which impairs the replacement of the sleep/wake button, that issue will need to be resolved prior to the sleep/wake button replacement. In some cases, there may be a cost associated with the repair.
    Also important to ask, does your phone have a faulty button in order to qualify for the repair?  They also clearly state:
    Apple will replace the sleep/wake button mechanism, free of charge, on iPhone 5 models that exhibit this issue and have a qualifying serial number.

  • HT201274 Will erase all content and settings on ipad affect basic icons?

    I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.

    If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

  • How do i erase all content and settings when it does not accept a password,

    I have to erase all settings.  I did not have a password set up to begin with, so i set up a password and i cannot erase???

    Hi there celiagromga,
    It sounds like a restrictions passcode may have been set up at some point. Take a look at the article below for more information.
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
    If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
    If you continue to experience issues restoring the device, take a look at the process outlined in the article below.

    After wiping it, you need to re-activate it. If it is carrier locked, you will need to activate it on the network it is locked to.

  • Difference between "restore" and "erase all content and settings"?

    Hello,
    I was wondering what is the difference between "Restore" on itunes and "Erase all content and settings" on iphone?
    Is it the same and if yes why does it take longer to "Erase all content and settings" on iphone?

    The restore only deletes all the data and reinstalls the iPhone Operating System, but someone can still carve out deleted information if they know what they are doing. The erase all content and settings will delete and overwrite everything on the iPhone so it is impossible to even extract any data from the iPhone.
    Personally I've only used the erase all content and settings when I've had to return my iPhone to Apple for technical difficulties or when I've sold an iPhone to someone else. There is no reason to do this method if you are simply reinstalling the Operating System for yourself.

  • I wish to reset my ipad.  However, when I selectGeneral Reset Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad not reset. How do I get past this?

    I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen..  However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this?  I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode.  I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.

    The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.

  • HT201274 I do the Erase All Content and Settings, How can i restart my  i phone 3s?

    I do the Erase All Content and Settings, How can i restart my  i phone 3gs?

    Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.
    Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
    Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
    When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.
    An iPhone reset will not normally remove or delete any data or settings. However, the term reset is also sometimes used to mean deleting all content from the iPhone and/or restoring from a backup.

  • HT1414 I "Erased all content and settings" and now my itunes does not recognize my iphoe when i plug it in. Plus my iphone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did i do?

    I "Erased all content and settings" and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in. Plus my iPhone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did I do? How do I get my phone to work again?    

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

  • I have 4gen Ipod touch. When I try to erase all content and settings the ipod goes to a screen with a USB plug with a round itunes logo at the top and is frozen there.

    Why cant I erase all content and settings? When I choose this option from the menu it takes me to a screen with a USB plug and an itunes logo and freezes there.

    What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes? That is how you restore to factory settings.
