HT1766 how do i reset my passcode in my iphone 4

Hi, I am trying to reset the passcode for my iphone 4. I changed the passcode last week and I forgot it since I don't use it frequently.  I've done this reset in the past but can't even remember how I found the full details to do so, at the apple website

Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesn't work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?

    i habe the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesnt work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

  • HT5622 I set up a passcode that will not unlock the screen. How do I reset the passCode?

    I set up a passcode that will not unlock the screen. How do I reset the passCode?

    If the passcode will not unlock the screen you are entering the wrong passcode. To change or remove the passcode you can use the settings app.
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock
    The caveat here is that to make changes to the passcode lock you need to enter the correct passcode lock.
    If you do not know your passcode you'll have to restore your iPad by connecting it to iTunes on your computer.

  • 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.
