how do i reset my passcode for my iphone

Hello kenburrell
Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, it will ask for your current Passcode. Then you will see an option to change the Passcode. If you forgot your Passcode, the only option would be to restore your iPhone and then put the back up back on. When you restore, as long as the backup is not encrypted, it will not load the passcode back.

How do I reset my passcode for my ipad mini ?

How do I reset my passcode or bypass it on my new ipad (mini)? I dont want to have to go to the Itunes store and reconfigure. ARe there any alternatives???

Assuming that you don't have a computer ...
The only alternative is to remote wipe the iPad using Find My iPhone. If you were not using iCloud, then you have to take it to anywhere where you can use a computer that is running iTunes.
If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore 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.

How do you reset your passcode on the iphone 4?

How do you change your passcode with an iphone 4? My son can't remember his passcode :-)

You should contact the owner of the iPhone, and ask.
You'll need to connect your iPhone to the computer with which you first sync'd to iTunes. If you respond with, "Gosh darn it, that computer broke, or maybe I sold it, or perhaps it burned up when I installed new software", or something similar to that, you're implying that the iPhone is stolen. Don't blame your son.

Upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

So now I went back to the screen that orginally asked me for my Apple ID and passort, and instead of entering my Apple ID i entered the email address associated with it and the new password. It now tells me "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons. To enable your account, reset your passwort at iforgot.apple.com"
I have now changed my password twice and it still doesn't work.
Until I get this resolved my tablet is useless.

How to reset my passcode on my iphone 3g

i lost my passcode for my restriction on my iphone 3g, how can i reset it without locking my iphone cus my iphone 3g is unlock and jailbroken please help

You've got a problem there, and no, Apple cannot help you. If you can't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes to remove it. The restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup, thus restoring from backup will continue to restore the restrictions passcode. You will need to delete all existing iPhone backups first. You can find them under iTunes>Preferences>Devices. All data on your phone will be lost.
I should add, depending on how your phone was jailbroken, you may not be able to restore your phone in iTunes using a stock firmware. The restore could very well fail, leaving your phone in essence a brick. I'm not saying this will happen to you, just that it is a possibility you need to be aware of. If the restore is successful, it will re-lock your phone to the carrier it was originally locked to if your phone was not officially unlocked.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
