How to reset an iphone without knowing passcode

help

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

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

  • How to restore whole ipod without knowing passcode

    how to restore whole ipod without knowing passcode

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • How to reset security questions without knowing the answers?

    Ok so it isn't that complicated and i have done this before, but I cant figure out how to reset my security questions without knowing the answers.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Anyone know how to reset my iphone vm password (so I can listen to my messages) while in Canada and not turning on cellular so I don't get charged for roaming? Verizon says its an iphone issue and Apple says to contact my carrier?! I don't want to pay for roaming and I am able to use my phone fine and also connect to wifi while at friend's houses etc.

    It's not a Verizon reset - under General and phone there is a place to reset my password however I can't do it without cellular turned on.

  • TS3212 how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery ?

    how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery?

    Your phone has "told" you it was dying; you didn't listen.  You ignored the broken power button, you ignored the frequent crashing, and now your battery is probably dead.  And despite this, you never thought to import the "important" pictures and data off your phone?
    If you cant turn on the phone or get it recognized in iTunes, there's no way to access the data.

    You can wipe the device without updating:

    Apple doesn't sell insurance. Maybe your homeowners or renters insurance would cover some of it. Check with your insurance agent.
