HT1420 what to do when you forget your passcode?

i don't know what to do?

If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock your device then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the device and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the device into recovery mode in order for iTunes to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
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.

    What to do when you forget your apple security question

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • What to do if you forget your passcode and ipod is disabled?

    what todo if you forget your passcode and ipod is disabled?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync 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.

  • What is the url when you forget your password?

    What is the url that needs to be entered when you forget your password to retrieve it?

    Can I just point out the obvious? (Well, it is to me at any rate!)
    If there was a URL that "needs to be entered" (I assume you mean a URL to be visited), in order to retrieve your password when you forget it, wouldn't that enable those people you know and wish to prevent getting in to your iPod (which - presumably, is why you put the password on it) to go to that same URL, get your password and use it to get into your Touch?
    Or is it me?
