How do I unlock the phone after locking it through "Find My iPhone?"

If you placed it in lost mode to lock it, sign into icloud.com, click on lost mode and turn it off.  If it is locked with Activation lock you'll have to provide the password for the iCloud ID you are being prompted for in order to use it.

    how do i unlock my phone after I find it I keep getting this phone is dialed for more and more minutes?

    Back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with, as explained at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  This will remove the passcode.

    I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone.

    If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

    My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?

    No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
    I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
    Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
    Thanks.

    how can I unlock the screen after a shock lighter?

    What is a shock lighter? I don't understand what you are asking? If you are saying the the slide to unlock isn't working, try rebooting your iPad.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

    ONLY the Carrier it is Locked to can unlock it.
    No one here will know who that Carrier is.
    The iPhone 3G can only run iOS 4.2.1

  • I have an iPhone which froze during software update to a picture of iTunes and USB cable.  I have never loaded this device on my computer.  How do I unlock the phone?

    My iPhone froze while downloading a new update.  The screen now shows a picture of iTunes icon and USB cable.  How do I unlock the phone if I never registered the device on a computer?

    Have you tried to restore the iPad back to factory settings from within the Setting App?  You might also try and hard "reset" by holding the power button and the home button at the same time until the iPad 2 restarts.
    Besides that, find a friend with a computer and try to update it from their comptuer, or if it is close and convenient go to the Apple Store and they will be able to help you.

  • How Do I stop the phone from locking while the navigation program is running.

    I have a Blackberry 9630 V4.7.1.40. The phone is on an enterprise server network through work. The phone is set to password lock after a couple of min. of non-use. When I have the Sprint Navigation program running, the phone locks after a few min and loses my satellite. I then have to type in a password to unlock it and I then get the signal back.
    I called Sprint and they said to press a button after every couple of min. to keep the phone "active". That sounds a little fishy to me!
    How do I keep the phone from locking while the Nav. Application is running?
    Thank you for your help

    Agreed, that is the simplest thing to do... probably much easier than talking your IT guys into raising your timeout.

    If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

  • HT1438 How do I unlock the phone?

    I'm trying to fix phone for a friend. She forgot the password and locked up the phone. I dont see where this phone has a SIM card. Any ideas on how to unlock it? Verizon iPhone Model No. A1349 EMC

    If "locked" here means the passcode is unknown, here's how to deal with that:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    But if "locked" refers to being locked to Verizon, then you should contact Verizon.  As I recall (I may be wrong), the older iPhones that connect to Verizon do not require SIM cards.

  • I have bought a phone off my brother in law. It's an iphone 4 how do I unlock the phone to allow my O2 sim?

    Is there anyway I can manually unlock this phone to allow my O2 sim card to be used? It is a sim for iphones as mine got stolen and I got a replacement sim. Ideally I would like to do this myself without having to take the phone to an independant shop who will charge me silly prices. My brother in law has contacted Orange and they tell him that he has to speak to Carphone Warehouse from where he bought the phone... yet they are saying that they do not unlock phones and there is info on apple website on instructions on how to unlock it yourself?
    Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Only the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it if they offer that service. Apple does not unlock phones. Sorry
