HT4113 what happens if you forget the password?

What happens and what can you do if you forgot your passcode? is there anything you can do?

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

What happens if you forget your password code lock on the ipod touch main screen? how will u no what it is if u forget?

what the title says

You connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if you do not have the syncing computer you place the iPod in recovory mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

HT1904 what happens if you forget your password?

hi everybody

That depends on what the password is for. If it's the password for your iTunes account then you can try this link : http://iforgot.apple.com
If the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may also need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If the code for Settings > General > Restrictions on the iPad then it will depend on whether it was in place on the iPad when you last backed up. If it wasn't then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

HT5312 what happens if you forget your security questions

what happens if you dont know your security questions

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

What happens when you reach the maximum number of failed attempts on the lock screen password of iPod Touch?

Do you get the screen that says, "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes", or do you get that screen when you reach the maximum number attempts on the restrictions password?

Thank you. I am out of town traveling and my daughter sent me a picture saying the got the before mentioned message. She told me she forgot her lock screen password, and that just boggled my mind considering she locks and unlocks that thing 1000 times daily. I automatically assumed she was trying to guess the password I put on the restrictions page.

How can you gain access to your mac if you forget the password

I need help accessing my computor because I forgot my username

Look below your /Users/username/ folder, the one with the House icon. The name is your username.
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
      the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
      command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
     until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
     message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

What happens when you reset the network settings

My ringer is not working. Will not ringer, only vibrates. What will happen if I reset the network settings?

Did you check the "mute" button located on top of volume buttons?
Reset network settings option will reset all network settings, including passwords (excluding passcode), VPN, and APN settings.
Just to give you an idea.

What happens if u forget the 4 digit security code?

it hasn't happened to me but what if one forgets the 4 digit code after sliding the unlock.....? does this make the itouch useless to someone that steals or finds your itouch?
...i rather like having a security code...this is why i am asking...

I believe that if someone gets it, and doesn't know the code, they can force a restore and bypass it.

What happens when you forget security questions

it won't let me purchase any until I get the question right Please help.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
