If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync 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.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device. Do the following:
    1. Connect the device to the computer to which you normally sync;
    2. Open iTunes (Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes" in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 )
    3. Right-click the device in the left column of  iTunes and select Back up (read this article on how to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 )
    4. When the backup is complete, select Restore
    5. When finished, restore from your most recent backup
    To restore read the restore section in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • HT1212 my power button is broken and i forgot my pass code how do i reset my phone

    My power button on my iphone is broken. I also forgot my screen lock paswsword. How do I reboot my phone?

    Unfortunately, you don't. You would have to put it into recovery mode to restore it and you can't do that without a working power button.

  • HT1414 forgot restrictions pass code, how do you reset?

    I forgot the restrictions pass code for my sons iTouch.  I tried using the restore function like it said in some help discussions, but that did not work.  ( hooked up to the computer, did restore to factory settings, then uploaded the apps again to his iTouch).  No change when I go the restrictions tab under general settings.  It still asks for the pass ode which of course I can't remember.......
    Thanks!

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you are up to it see:

    You'll have to wipe it out and restore from backup to recover, that'll reset the code but you'll lose any data since your last sync.

  • Disable IPhone with forgot the lock code please help!!!!!

    my IPhone is disable but I forgot my lock code so when i'm connect to ITunes it say cannot use ITunes because the lock code but my phone is disable so please someone help me!!!!!!

    Well, let's assume for the moment that my first thought that the phone is stolen is wrong, although your random user ID would tend to imply that. It depends on which passcode is lost. If it is the SIM key you will have to get a new SIM card from your carrier (you didn't say which country you are in, so I can't tell you who your carrier is). If it is the phone's passcode lock you will need to do a forced restore, which will wipe all content from the phone. If it's your phone this shouldn't be a problem, because it is all backed up in iTunes and will be reloaded after the restore. Of course, you will still need the passcode, so that may not be possible anyway.
    To do a forced restore hold the HOME button, then connect to the USB cable AND CONTINUE HOLDING for a LONG time (a minute or more). Once iTunes responds release the button and your phone will be restored.

  • I forgot my lock code in my nokia 3600

    i forgot my lock code in my nokia 3600. can anyone help me recover my old lock code in my phone?

    You can't recover it yourself as it is a security feature designed to stop thieves accessing your phone.
    A nokia care point can reset the code for you. They will need to see proof of ownership and you may lose all data from the phone.
