HT1212 i never set up a passcode but now it ask for one and then disabled my phone
How can I regain the use of my iphone after being shut out because i do not have a passcode- never set one up but hit wrong thing.
Connect to the computer that you last backed up the phone to and click the Restore iPhone button in iTunes. This will wipe the phone, restore the backup, and remove the passcode.

How do you unlock a disabled ipad mini? I have my notes in Notability and I don't want to lose them. I know my passcode but I left my keyboard on and it disabled it.
Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
However... Once you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

I have never had a passcode to lock my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????
Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. -
Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!
This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account. -
I wish to erase all the content and setting on my iPhone but it is asking for a restriction code, how/where do I get this?
You get it from the person who owns the phone.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.
I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks

I have never set up a passcode on my iphone 4S but when I try to reset my phone it is asking for a 4 digit passcode. Is there a generic code? Or how do I retrieve an existing/forgotten passcode?
You will need to put your phone in recovery mode and then restore using iTunes.

I never set a restrictions passcode on my iPhone. I recently tried to make an in-app purchase, and I was directed to this passcode for the first time. There is not any support for Apple on this issue. If I cannot use Apps, what is the point of having smartphone? This coupled with Apple/Yelp maps is going to force me to switch.
So if I understand you correctly, you are saying someone from Apple had access to your phone and without your knowledge set a passcode restriction on your phone. Is that right? I do not think so! Apple is not responsible for the passcode that is set on your phone. Restriction Passcodes do not appear by themselves and cannot be set remotely and can only be set by someone who has access to the phone itself

Pages 5.2 file is password protected but doesn't ask for password and is locked and not accessible.
MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.2, Pages 5.2
File is password protected but when I go to open it I'm not asked for password and therefore the file can't be opened. It shows up in the list of files as locked. I have opened this file with the password many times, but now I can't open it.I just got it to work...sorry for the message!

I never set a restrictions passcode but my ipod is asking for one help?
Can anyone help me? I'm trying to do a reset of all settings but it asks for two passcodes, my normal one to unlock my ipod but then it asks for a second passcode called a restrictions passcode but I never set one.
What do mean by full setting reset?
A few other users has said that they had a Restrictions passcode but they said then never set one. Two possibilites.
- A glitch set one
- Someone got hold of yur iPod when the screen lock was off and added one. -
