HT1414 I forgot my passcode and cannot restore my phone because fine my iphone is turned on?  How do I turn it off if I cannot get into my phone to do so?

My daughter has forgotten her passcode.  When I try to restore it through itunes, it does not allow me to do so because I had turned on the "find my iphone" feature upon activation.  Is there a way to restore it if I can't get to the settings to turn the "find my iphone" off?  Please help.:-0

Hi ApayneX7,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to erase the iPhone and Find my iPhone is turned on, you may want to try this method:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

    Did you place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Lost password to user account and cannot get into Netbook

    We purchased a Toshiba Netbook nb200 for our teenager for Christmas.
    She was so excited to get it and was on the computer right away and set up her own user account without writing it down or allowing me time to create a disk for her.
    Now the user account will not let us in. She says she knew what the password was and when we try it, it does not work. We have spent two days typing everything under the sun to see if we can get it and no luck.
    2 days after Christmas and she cannot get into the computer at all.
    I have tried the safe mode etc and does not work.
    Any suggestions on what to do please?
    Thank you.

    Whether your phone is locked with a passcode or not won't matter. If eligible for an out of warranty replacement, you can do such a replacement,

  • HT201365 My iphone is disabled and cannot open it to save my life!  Help!  I'm using the only passcode I have and cannot get into the phone to disable the Find Iphone.  I'm frustrated!

    My iphone is disabled and have tried the only passcode I have, to no avail.  Cannot turn off the Find Iphone because I can't get into my phone.

    So, you're not talking about trying to turn on the iphone using your passcode, but are talking about the phone being disabled from having used Find My iPhone to put it in lost mode - right?

  • I recently updated to Firefox 4. It worked that whole day, but next morning I get a crash error message and cannot get into Firefox. I've tried some suggestions on the site, but no help. Should I uninstall Firefox, then reinstall.

    I can't even get into Firefox to troubleshoot

    I don't know if this helps, but I'm still working on this problem and took a screen shot of my Console Message errors:
    What's happening here is opening the program, trying to save and it crashes. Then trying to open the program again and it crashing before it even opens.  Finally opening the program a third time and trying to save it using "save as" instead of "save" (which I found one forum recommending) and it crashing again. 

  • I use the Dogsters/Catsters to be involve with other people and cannot get into the groups, sites or anything! Help!

    It seems that the web site Dogsters/Catsters is not cooperating with me using Firefox to read and answer any of the e-mails I get from this company. I love it and wish to contact my furiends in this group. However, I can only read my e-mails and not able to respond/reply back. I can't even get into any of the sub-groups that my furs belong to. Any help would be appreciate it to combat the problem.

    Thankfully the machine has come back.
    I tried a couple of cmos/battery clears, with no success.
    Then I took out one stick of memory, cleared the cmos and it all worked on rebooting!
    I put back the memory slug, cleared cmos again and it continues to work!!
    What a relief - thanks xmad.
