I have forgot my password for my lock screen what can i do to get on it?

i have forgot my password for my lock screen, and it now says connect to iTunes but it isnt connecting i want to know how to get it on?

2 options
1. restore it to a backup you took before you put a password on
2. restore it to factory settings if there was a work around then the whole password thing would be rather pointless and security would be absent

Better use for the Lock Screen

Why isn't apple making a better use for the Lock Screen (or lets 3rd party apps to do it)?
Why can't we get a preview of our upcoming calendar events, get weather info and other useful information just by pressing ON.
every other smart phone has it. Ever the old Nokia smartphone has it.
So why aren't we?

Wow ... I am sure Apple will be in shock. They have only sold five million phones and obviously everyone has ben wringing their hands this glaring omission.
Seriously, tell Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ as we are just users like you can can do nothing for you and your demands. And signing up for the Board just to say that was a waste of your time but it is of course yours to waste.
And, FWIW I am completely happy about not having my personal information on display on my phone.

How to make configurator not change the lock screen

i manage about 300 ipad mini's for a school district and i use apple configurator once a month to manually update the ios and apps on the ipads. i have a grade level that uses pictures of the kids for the lock screen to identify whose ipad is whose. the issue is when i plug them into configurator to update them it always resets this lock screen, how can i make it so that the lock screen is not effected? All of my ipads are supervised, and i do not have the option of removing the supervision from that grade level.

If the phone is locked the only call you can place is to 911 (or its local equivalent) without unlocking it. You can also take a picture, but not review other photos.

Can the lock screen be customized to display contact info in iOS 7

Can the lock screen be made to display contact info (ie; to return phone if you lose it). Can a different background/wallpaper be selected? My phone uses a rippling water photo that isn't even an available wallpaper.

You can select a different wallpaper photo for the lock screen (and one for the home screens), including one from your Camera Roll. Write your contact information on a piece of paper and select it as your lock screen wallpaper (the one on the left of Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > CHOOSE WALLPAPER).
Users have reported issues is getting pictures resized so they correctly. I suggest you try writing in the center of a page of paper, taking several photos at different distances/zooms, and play around with which one is most readable.
Note: This is speculation. I have not tried it myself.

Why does my music control on the lock screen not working?

When My phone is locked and I want to control my music that is playing, nothing happens. The play button is showing and the song that I am already listening to is not showing up. I can not skip forward or go back. I have powered off the phone and it is still doing the same thing. Somtimes the double click of the home button does the same thing, but it is more concerning for the lock screen control.
I just saw this issue come up with the New iOS6 download.
Help?

There is corrupted data or settings on your phone.
Try as needed:
1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
2. Restore iOS using iTunes, also restoring a backup
3. Restore iOS using iTunes as a new phone .

Hi Apple user 789,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following article will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:

When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

So after updating my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3.1 i noticed a lag everytime i turn it back on. it stays on the lock screen for minutes sometimes hours. the screen is usually unresponsive the only things usually changing are the time and battery percentage.

so aafter upsating my touch to 4.3.1 i have noticed everytime i restart the ipod there is a huge lag at the lock screen. the screen only updates itself every three to five minutes only updating the time and battery status. i cannot do anything, usually it will stay like this for minutes sometimes hours. i have tried restoring it and thought updating will fix the problem but it hasn't yet. i currently have ios 4.3.3. recently i had a friend look into the ipod and he told me on a folder called damaged files he found this, 37c3ad com.apple.autowake.plist. how can i fix this?

Try a manual install following directions in link below.

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore

You will probably need to use recovery mode

While actively using the iPhone 5, Apple logo will randomly appear for a few seconds, then show up at the lock screen

This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen an iPhone do. I recently got the iPhone 5 from Verizon, 16GB (if that even matters) running iOS 6.0 respectively. This has happened 3-5 times since I started using it last Friday when they started to deliver. When this incident occurs, I'll be using my phone, as in it's unlocked and it's not just sitting. Then, the Apple logo will appear and if I didn't know any better, I'd think my phone was turning on. However, it only stays that way for a few seconds until it shows the lock screen, imitaing a startup. The weird thing is, the startup time is ~30 seconds everytime I turn my device off and turn it back on. This incident where it'll appear to be just turning on while I'm using the phone will only last for ~5 seconds. Plus, during the incident, it nevers actually turns off the display or goes completely black. It'll just snap directly from me using the phone to the Apple logo, then the lock screen after a few seconds. Also, cellular services are immediately recognized after the incident, when starting up it usually take about 30 seconds. I can't confirm this or not, but I believe this incident occurs when I press the home button to exit an app. However, when it happens it strikes me by surprise and I can't confirm or not if this happens only when I'm exiting an app. Not sure if this is an iPhone 5 specific problem or an iOS 6 problem...I can't really assume it's a bad power connection, since like I said it doesn't imitate a full startup of the phone, it just goes throught the screens (Apple logo -> lock screen.)
And as a side note, I restart my phone daily. And as rare of a problem this is, I'm not going to restore or wipe my phone and start fresh. Just wanted to see if there was anybody else experiencing this problem and to make the problem aware. Thanks in advance for any help!!

I had this same thing happen to me. I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????
