HT201412 I forgot my iphone password is there a way i could unlock it without restoring it ?

Help please !

Sorry, no. The only way to remove the passcode, if you can't remember it, is to restore the phone. Either from backup, or as a new device. Read here:

    I forgot my Keychain password, is there a way to reset it?

    There is no way to change a keychain password without the original password. The only option is to delete the keychain and start a new one. Use Keychain Access. (You could keep a back up of the old keychain file in case you remember the password some day.)

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You can't disable FaceTime remotely. If you activated Find my iPhone in the device, go to iCloud and Find my iPhone. You can block or erase your iPod if it's connected to Wi-Fi, but you won't be able to track it

  • Forgot my master password, is there a way to change it?

    Forgot my master password.  Wondering is there a special way to change it for the new OS LION?
    I read past discussions on how to change it for older OS.  Such as deleting some files under /library/keychains folder.
    Also, the other way I read is to put in the installer disc and change it from there.  But, how would I be able to do it for LION OS as I have downloaded it directly from the App Store and do not have it on any physical disk.
    Also, I did NOT turn on Filevault.  So this should be easier for me to change it.
    Thanks!

    1. Shutdown your computer
    2. boot up holding down the option key on the keyboard
    3. click on the Recovery disk
    4. after system boots select terminal from the Utilities Menu
    5. type resetpassword
    6. verify the account name
    7. type your new password in and hit return
    8. type your new password in and hit return.
    9. quit terminal
    10. restart your computer

  • Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend who had it password protected and he doesn't remember the password.Is there a way to get around this without wiping the computer?I don't have any of software discs and can't update or delete anything.Thanx

    Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend that has it password protected.I can't update or delete programs or download anything without the passwords and he doesn't remember them.Is there any way for me to get around these without wiping the computer and starting from scratch?

    Hello,
    Sadly without the system disk you can't do a lot. I would suggest you enable root user, log in as root and reset your administrators password, however you can't without knowing the administrator password first.
    The only solution would be is to obtain the correct system disk or buy a retail copy of Mac OS X. But note, it depends on what version of the iBook you own depends, on what version of Mac OS X you will require.
    You can still obtain the system disk or retail disks from online vendors, but they come at a cost.
    System disk are grey in color, while retail disk have a big 'X' on it.
    Best of luck

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    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.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Is there a way to clean up data without restore and backup?

    I noticed recently that too much data is being silently stored on my iPad possibly be apps and caches.
    Isn't iOS supposed to clean up data as it needs free storage?
    most recently, according to usage in settings > general, I had 1.8 GB of free space. I wanted to install an app that is 2GB in size. iOS told me there was not enough free space. I could not find what used so much data, and frankly this time the list of apps in settings > general > usage proved to be pointless. Adding the numbers together of how much space the apps were using up was nowhere near enough to leave me with only 1.8 GB of free space.
    I did a backup, then restored my iPad. After that, I restored the backup with all apps and data I had before. Now I have 7.2 GB free space. 5.4 GB of temporary and junk files, with no way of erasing them, is quite frustrating.
    Anyone knows a solution or shall I just restore my iPad pretty much every 2-3 weeks? (Yes, the last 5 or 6 restores I have performed were solely for freeing up storage space that mysteriously keep being filled up.)
    Additionally, how do I find out which apps use up so much space when settings > general > usage doesn't tell me anything? Only how much space the app itself needs and how much permanent (user generated) data is being stored. Such as pictures, save game files, and so on, but nothing about cache sizes temporary data.
    PS: if the above was asked and answered before, please accept my apologies and could you link me the topic it has been resolved in?

    Hi! And thanks for your reply!
    It sounds sensible. Since the last restore which was just over a day at the time of me writing this reply, there is over 1GB of data unaccounted for. Note that I have not installed new apps, nor DLCs within games. The two I have been using heavily are Netflix and Youtube, both of which should automatically erase temporary data. Or so they claim.
    However, there was a period when I had my iPad on charger overnight. When I woke up, just out of curiosity I checked the usage statistics and I found my free space was about 200 MB less than when I checked immediately before goong to bed. So the iPad was not used at all and somehow I lost 200MB.
    I did try a software for Windows called Phone Clean, but that didn't help. Before the restore, I ran a deep scan, and it only cleaned up about 500MB of data even though there was nearly 5GB unaccounted for. I performed the restore, and that was when I thought this is beyond me, and posted this topic.
    I have also noticed that when I watch a movie with the Videos app by streaming from iTunes instead of downloading, after watching it, the storage will not get freed up. The movie is still there (as confirmed by trying to actually download another that was larger than the current free space, then the previous movie file was indeed deleted by iOS automatically) but it does not show up in usage > videos. According to iOS the Videos.app has no data within.
    I'll try a full reset soon and see how it goes. Obviously it will take some time to test it, but I'll let you know of any results. Luckily, I don't have many apps that don't use iCloud storage so their data should be there despite dropping the backup, and installing them clean should be easy using iTunes on a PC.
    If that doesn't help, I go one step further and download the apps one by one.
    Well, there is plan.
    To be honest, it would really be helpful if we could see individual app containers as that way we can easily find out which app is being naughty.
    Any way, thanks for the tip! Give me a couple of days and I'll let you know how it went.

  • HT204060 Is there a way I can unlock my iPod Touch that has a broken screen?

    My iPod Touch, 4th Gen. iPod's screen broke and I need to access all the music and photos I have on it. But I received a new computer so it doesn't recognize my iPod and my iPod is locked. Since I still know the password, is there a way I can unlock it without restoring it or anything?

    No since that is part of the screen lock security feature.

  • Phone doesn't turn on at all at the moment, I haven't backed up in ages, is there a way I could back up before sending to Apple to repair?

    Hiya,
    My iPhone 5c doesn't turn on at all at the moment, I think its an internal problem with the screen so doing a hard reset and putting a charger in won't help.
    I haven't backed up in ages. Is there a way I could back up without it needing to be on i.e. connecting to iTunes perhaps? I'm sending my phone to Apple to repair but wondered if I could somehow save my data first?

    First try this
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you cannot get it to turn on then all your data is unrecoverable,unless you have a backup

    You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
    Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?
