HT1212 How do I restore my iphone 4s back to factory settings?

I forgot my passcode and it locked me out. How do I restore my Iphone 4s back to it's original factory settings?

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

    I tried to restore my Iphone 5 back to factory settings but I'm only getting the blinking ring now, it's been a few hours.

    Do a hard reset with a computer. Enter DFU mode, connect to iTunes, and it will say that our device is in "recovery mode". Then click restore.
    How to enter DFU mode:

  • I restored my iphone 4 back to factory settings

    Hello all
    I restored my iphone 4 back to factory settings. After the phone restarts iTunes just shows it as an iphone and the itunes screen on my mac is a white box.
    I cant add anything to the iphone
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    It is NOT a bug.  You provided a password.  If you can't remember it, you can't restore your phone from backup.  Very simple.

  • How do I restore my MacBook to it's factory settings, without it's original disc?

    How do I restore my MacBook to it's factory settings, without it's original disc?

    Eustace gave you the correct answer here - you cannot restore your Mac to its factory settings without its original DVDs or a retail copy of another Mac OS, such as Snow Leopard.
    You can try calling Apple to request a replacement set of DVDs, but I believe that also comes at a cost.
    If your Mac is running Lion (OS X 10.7), then I believe the Recovery HD is available to you and can be used to wipe the computer and start fresh.
    However, if you are running 10.5 or 10.6, the Recovery HD is not present and you must use a DVD.

  • Tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen?

    tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen? it also says hook phone up with itunes. well i have an old mac and my itunes isnt up to date and cant be installed up to date because of the old software. what do i do?

    You'll need to update your system or fine a system you can use to activate it. There's no way around it.
    If you can get to an Apple store and explain the situation to them, they 'may' be able to hook you up with an OS upgrade to Leopard assuming you have a G4 or G5 mac that can handle it.

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

  • Iphone set back to factory settings

    Selling my iphone .
    Went into settings and set back to factory settings and removed the SIM to use in another phone. The other phone is fine but was wondering if it's normal for the iphone without a SIM to only show the keypad / Emergency Call with a small lock on the top middle. In other words, you are not able to go into the IOS and use it for anything ( ipod ) check settings etc without a SIM ? Is this normal ?

    This is normal.  In order to use an iPhone as an iPod without a SIM, it first needs to be activated with a SIM in place (doesn't need to be an activated SIM).  Once the phone is activated, the SIM can be removed. 
    Keep in mind, any iOS upgrade to the phone will require the insertion of a SIM card.  Best is just to leave a deactivated SIM in the phone permanently.

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone 4 when it does not have current IOS and i have forgotten passcode.  Not showing in itunes but has connect to itunes logo on screen???

    I previously had an iPhone 4 which has since been put away in a drawer now that I have an iPhone 5.  I would like to give my iphone 4 to someone else to use but could not remember my passcode - have tried a few times (I believe I have one more try before it gets disabled - so I have stopped trying).  Read somewhere that you can just restore your phone which works for me as I wanted to clear it anyway.  When I connect my phone to itunes and clicked on restore it said update and restore which I clicked on and left it to do its work.  However, a while later an error code popped up saying that it could not update or back up the phone as the phone was locked .  Now my phone just has the itunes logo on it but when I connect the phone to the computer and I manually open itunes, my phone is not recognised. 
    What can I do?  Please help!!!
