HT4113 My Iphone is locked and the passcode I'm using is being reported by the Iphone as incorrect, how can I change the password?
my nephew was playing a practical joke on me and changed my passcode for my Iphone. Unfortunately, the joke backfired cause he misspelled the passcode when typing it in and now we can't open my iphone. Is there anyway to fix this? I have an icloud account if that is an option.
You may be able to restore your iPhone by connecting it to iTunes. If iTunes prompts you for the passcode, then you'll have to wipe your iPhone and restore it to factory settings. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212.

HT1766 Apparently the iCloud password on my iPhone is incorrect, how can I change it?
Apparently the iCloud password on my iPhone is incorrect, how can I change it?
Hi Francessco,
If the password saved for iCloud on you iPhone is incorrect, but you know the correct password (for example, you can log in to your account at iCloud.com), you may need to update the saved password on the device. You may find the following article helpful:

Ask the carrier it's locked to if they'll unlock it. If they won't, sell it.

My Apple ID changed back to an old ID when I installed last update on my iPhone 5s. How can I change it back to match what is on my MacBook Pro and iPad?
Hi GlendaGirl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're unexpectedly seeing the incorrect Apple ID on your iPhone 5s. You can use these steps to sign out of iCloud on your iPhone 5s and sign in with the right Apple ID:
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account [Sign Out in iOS 8.] Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

would like to change ,my password. I signed in but I don't know what was my answer for the 2 security question. How can I change my password?
Hello, dot mac & MobtleMe no longer exist, though it may be possible to still use a dot mac addy... or maybe not if expired.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

I purchased my iPad in Korea, and while almost everything is in English, my App Store is in Hangul, how can I change it to be in English?
My iTunes was setup in the states, and is setup with a US credit card. I did use my iPad in Korea, but I've been back in the states for almost 4months now, and my App Store is still in Hangul. I've tried changing the language in the international setting in the settings, but I'm not having any luck.

How can I change my password to the Forum?
I have a hard time remembering my password because it was generated. Is there any way I can reset it to something I can remember?
Hmmmm. Tricky question.
To find the answer, I
1) Clicked on the FAQ link (upper right side of my screen);
2) Clicked on the "I have OTN login or password problems. What do I do?" in the FAQ;
3) Clicked on the "How do I change my password?" link in that second FAQ.
and read
How do I change my password?
To change your password, make sure you are logged on and click the "Account" link in the upper right side of the page. This will bring you to the main registration page where there is a "Change Password" link in the upper right side of the page under the "Log out" link.
BUT the 'Account' link does not show up on the Forum. I needed to click on the "Oracle Technology Network" logo in the upper left side to get to the page that shows the Account link.
By the way - this kind of question is best asked in the Community Feedback (No Product Questions) forum found at
