HT1688 Guided access locked

Unable to disable guided access.

Yuck.  If it is an app which you can crash somehow that seems to force it out of Guided Access.  My little guy has become pretty adept at crashing Netflix. 
You might try putting the iPhone in DFU mode while rebooting.  It is kinda tricky.  Google for "iPhone DFU" for steps, but stop short of actually restoring the phone with iTunes.  Basically force reboot > get into DFU mode > reboot again.  I have no idea if it will work as I don't have a device I can remove the passcode from right this second.

    Guided access locked me out, forgot password

    You apparently typed in a passcode during the setup process without realizing it. Try to remember what that might have been. If you can't, your only option is to restore the device as new.

  • Guided access locked my iPhone

    iPhone 5 running 6.1 is stuck in guided access on MMS app. Asks for password which we forgot/don't know.
    Hardware buttons are disabled, but I can restore the phone (pressing lock and home screen buttons). This restarts the phone but I merely get a glimpse of the lock screen when the phone goes instantly to the MMS app and a message appearing letting me know guided access is enabled.
    In the forums I read about using iCloud to put phone on lost mode, which did let me lock the phone but upon entering the code I assigned through iCloud the phone goes into the MMS app once again locking up via guided access.
    Not sure what more I can do before resorting to restore the phone altogether. Any input on this will be appreciated. Thanks!

    I hope this helps???

  • IOS 7.1.1 - can I disable triple-home-click going to Guided Access?

    Topic says it all, basically.  Several times I've accidentally turned on GuidedAccess (where it speaks all the commands), by inadvertently hitting Home 3 times. I know I can turn it back off the same way, but is there a way to either completely disable the triple-home-click starting Guided Access, or at least re-assign that key combination to some other, less irritating, option?
    I have iOS 7.1.1, and there is NO "Triple Home Click" option in Settings -> General -> Accessibility as there apparently used to be in earlier iOS versions (6 and before?).

    That is not technically Guided Access. Its Voice Over.   Guided Access locks the iPad to a single App.
    Yes, you can disable it.
    Settings->General->Accessibility->Accessibility Shortcut-> Tap on Voice Over to remove the checkmark and turn off the triple click shortcut.

  • I am stuck on the Subway Surfers app in guided access mode the info its giving me to fix it is a liar! none of the buttons will work all I can do is lock it unlock it and play subway surfers. I cannot turn it off and refuse to let it die. HELP ME PLEASE!!

    Ok I dont understand this SOS!!!! Please dont tell me to restart my Ipad Cause none of the buttons work except the lock button and that will not allow me to turn it off please help all suggestions are welcome.

    What you need to do is triple-press the HOME BUTTON three times. You will be prompted to enter your passcode. This will bring up the options for guided-access mode and you will then need to click "End" in the top corner.
    Guided-access mode must have accidentally been enabled by triple-clicking the home button.

  • Locked Guided Access?

    I locked my phone using the guided access so my son wouldn't turn off his video every 3 sec. But I for the life of me can't remember the password to unlock it.  I need help!!! How do I reset or get out of it without knowing the password?

  • How do I turn VoiceOver off when I am locked in Guided Access on an iPad?

    I have an iPad that I use in therapy with children with impairments and often have to switch between accessibility options.  I am currently stuck in the TouchChat app with VoiceOver and Guided Access both turned on.  Every time I triple click the home button the accessibility options come up but it just reads the options aloud to me rather than letting me turn VoiceOver off.  Since I am also in Guided Access I am unable to get out of the app to go to settings to turn the VoiceOver off.  I have even tried a forced shutdown hoping that that would help, but when I turn it back on I am automatically locked back in TouchChat.  Please help!  How do I turn VoiceOver off when I am also locked in Guided Access?

    Open the Seeing tab of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and turn it off. If it's on at the login window, turn it off from the Accounts pane under Login Options.

  • HT5509 Guided Access Without Password Locks Phone, now way out?

    I inadvertantly enabled guided access and am unable to get out of it.
    When prompted for the initial password, I pressed Cancel instead of entering a password.  It enabled guided access and wants a password to disable it. 
    I tried to connect and run an app via xcode and it went to home screen but then said the phone was Disabled.  Now even a triple-click won't get the guided access to prompt for a password.
    Update: sorry, searched before I was in the group, found the answer afterwards..
    Hold power and home button for 10 seconds to power-off phone, should be undone when it comes back on.

    I'm curious. What is it about this forum, focussed on a now-discontinued productivity application named "AppleWorks", that attracts so many questions like this one, totally unconnected with that application?
    I'd appreciate an answer to that. Meantime, I've requested a transfer of the question to a more appropriate community.

  • 4S is locked in guided access mode

    My new 4S is stuck in guided access / learning / child mode. Now matter how many times I triple click the home button it does nothing. How can I get out of this setting?

    Restart your phone, hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

  • IOS 8.02 guided access not working for Ipad 2

    Will the next update for iOS 8 fix the issue for guides access for Ipad 2? Issue; function not working at all. And when will this update come?
    We have now tried everything we can think of. Reset settings, totale factory reset etc. This doen both on the Ipad and thorugh iTunes.
    For us the Ipad got useless with iOS 8 as we us it as a visitor kiosk using the app SIGN IN. We really regret updating.... please fix asap

    I can confirm that this works on 3rd Generation iPads.  But not 2nd Generation iPads.  I have found that if Guided access was enabled prior to the upgrade it might reset in this process.
    Turn off Guided Access in Accessibility / Settings.
    Hard reboot.  (Hold Home and Lock buttons for 7 seconds)
    Turn on Guided Access in Accessibility / Settings.  Reset Passcode.
    Anyone have luck with a newer model?

  • How do I turn off guided access if I forgot my password?

    Can somebody help me? I can't remember my password for guided access and I'm stuck in my calculator app.

    I had the similar problem.
    To come out of this do the following:
    login to icloud.com with your apple user name and password.
    click on find my iphone and select your ipad.
    Click on lost mode and follow the wizard.
    Now your ipad would be locked and you can provide your normal ipad lock code to unlock your ipad.
    From here you can disable the guided access and enable it when ever you need it.

  • HT5509 Remove dark area in Guided access.

    Is it possible to switch off the darker area that emerges in Guided access?That is, the screen looks normal but still has the touch limitations.

    On iPhone 4s hold the circle button and the one on the top of the phone(as if you were taking a screenshot) down for 10-20 sec until the phone shuts off and then proceed to turn it back on. When the phone powers back on you'll still have to put in your code for the lock screen if that's enabled, but after that guided access will be turned off. Took me 45 minutes of pure frustration to figure this crap out being that I didn't even know I ha a GA password or that it would be any different than my lockscreen code. F*ckin rediculous I tell you!!!!!!
    But it does work, yw.
    OH!!! and when you hold the buttons down it will still give you the messege saying you have to triple-click and enter your code, ignore this and slam those buttons down anyway. They are a decoy. And furthermore, F*CK YOU APPLE. That is all.

  • How to disable Guided Access in ios 6.0?

    I am a secondary teacher and my students are using iPads in the classroom. I have tried IOS 6.0 and find that Guided Access is useful in some sense. However, I worried that if the Guided Access function is enabled by students, then how teacher/IT staff to unlock?
    So, how to disable guided access in ios 6.0?
    Thanks

    My son just did that.  He enable guided access and doesn't remember the password.  Now we are locked out of the iPad.  The screen won't lock and the ipad cannot be shutoff either.  It's just running down the battery and we happen to be at the hospital.
    I think some tweaks to this option are in order from Apple.
