Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,
Mario

Hi does any one know how to find if my iemi number is on apple waiting to be unlocked
If your iPhone is indeed unlocked, you will need to restore it using iTunes on a computer with the SIM card that you want to use to activate the iPhone.
Apple actually has no say so in unlocking iPhone as it's strictly up to the carrier. -

All iPhones are carrier locked.
Absolutely NOT true. Apple stores in the UK, Canada, France...and many other places sell officially unlocked iPhones, so do many online Apple stores. Fact is, in many places in the world it is against the law to sell carrier locked phones. -
hello. my phone is factory unlocked.
but my iphone support one network (Zong) only in pakistan. if i insert another network sim it support (Catch the signl and show the network name ) but cannot make a call or text neither incoming nor outgoing.
plz guide me what should i do.
ios 7.0.4There aren't any supported carriers in Pakistan. Apple hasn't released the iPhone there. The OP is using a grey-market iPhone and hence is pretty much on his/her own as regards getting this phone working with the carrier, unless that carrier can help.

My iphone 4s is factory unlocked purchased in the U.S., but does not work in carriers of Brazil
I bought my iphone 4s unlocked factory from U.S., but does not work in carriers of Brazil.
Displays the following message:
Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to active iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card.
What can I do?
Thanks.Return your phone for a refund, because you did NOT purchase an officially unlocked iPhone 4S. There are no officially unlocked iPhone 4S's being sold, in the US, anywhere but Apple's online store. If you didn't get your phone through Apple's online store in the US, it is NOT officially unlocked.

My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?
Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

HT201407 iPhone4 Factory Unlocked but still cannot activate thru iTunes. Please help.
hi i have an iPhone4 which is used to locked to USA AT&T. i had it factory unlocked but still wont able to activate it thru itunes. i cant use my phone anymore since i uodated my iOS from 5.1 to 6.0 which updated my baseband to 4.12.02 and now on iOS 6.1.2 my baseband is 4.12.05 my iphone model is MC318 serial number 81025TA2A4S IMEI 012336004063743. i dont know what else i can do. please help.
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Most likely your iPhone was not properly unlocked and is now
relocked to AT&T. You must work with AT&T to get it unlocked.
Depending on what method was used to unlock the iPhone previously,
a legitimate unlock from AT&T may not complete successfully.

I bought the iphone 4s about a year ago, he was not new. The seller told me that he did the factory unlock, but he lied. Now I live in Russia and want to use the iPhone with a local GSM sim card. Serial number (removed), IMEI (removed). Thank you!

Message was edited by: Admin ModeratorEdge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions. -
I have reset my iPhone 5 and now it is asking me to activate my phone with my apple ID but when i put in my details in its say the my email address cannot be used to unlock my iPhone? help!
You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock. Where did you get this phone?

I have an iPhone4, used and locked to the UK network. I need to pay for the phone to be officially unlocked.
In the meantime we used it as a device to check emails and games etc.. We put a pass lock and after many failed attempts we forgot what it is. Now the phone is Disabled and iTunes can not fix it since it can not update the Software without the phone being officially unlocked..
any idea how to do this?

i have recently bought an iphone 5S
i gave it for factory unlock but i have given the wrong operator name (instead of TELCEL i gave At&t)
will i get my refund back please let me know please
Thank youWho did you give it to for the unlock?
The only one that can legally unlock it is the carrier holding the lock.
Anything else will lead to someone illegally jailbreaking yopur iPhone so that Apple will no longer support it inany fashsion.
