Forgot password to log on to phone, is there any way to reset?

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

    I forgot the password to a pages-document, is there any way to reset the document?
    Thank You

    No, Apple can't help.  Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode.  For that mode see:

    Yes by booting the system from either the OS X install DVD or from the Recovery HD partition and using Terminal to bring up the Reset Password system.

  • When I go to restore my phone; is there any way to pick what you want back on your phone or do you have to get everything backed up?

    When I go to restore my phone; is there any way to pick what you want back on your phone or do you have to get everything backed up?

    Thank you.  I was afraid of that.  I backed up from iCloud.  I looked at the iTunes one - it had four different ones on there; was hoping I could see because my grandson's phone was redone last year (his mom messed it up then) and didn't know anything was backed up to iTunes.  He lost a lot of stuff that time. I'm just trying to get his phone back to par after someone changed his passcode on him as a joke and forgot what they changed it to a few days ago.  They should change it so one could go in and pick what they want or don't want.  Thank you again for your time.  I do appreciate it.

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
    As to whether you can work with Apple via email on this issue I can't say for sure, but you can contact them via this web page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
    and see if they can help. It's mostly going to be an issue of you being able to prove to them that you are the account owner.

  • I lost my i phone is there any way to find it?

    hi
    l lost my I phone and iam asking is there any way to find please help me
    thanks
    mahmoud

    You can only find it IF you had already signed up for iCloud and activated "Find my iPhone" on there BEFORE it was lost.  And even then, the iPhone has to be "on" and it cannot have been reset by someone who found it.  Other than that all you can do is physically look for it.
    Hope this helps

  • If I cannot even hard set my phone, is there any way I can set it to factory settings?

    Is there any way I can get my iphone 4S to restart? The hardsetting does not work.

    Connect to iTunes. Do a backup. Then hit Restore Phone.
    When it asks of you wnat to restore to a previous back up or restore as new, choose the latter option. ALL YOUR DATA AND FILES WILL BE WIPED!!!

  • HT5312 Forgot my security question that I made 5 years years ago, I can't call the apple people. Is there any way to reset it?

    I have forgotten my security questions. I can't call the apple people becuase my phone line is down for a while. If you anyone could have a way to reset it becuase I really want to buy stuff.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • My parents and I share itunes and their music keeps downlaoding onto my laptop and phone, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

    My parents were too lazy and didnt know how to create their own itunes account. so I was wondering if either 1)there was a way to stop their music from geting on my laptop and phone,or 2) a way to transfer my perchases to a new itunes account. If anyone has any ideas besides burning everything to discs I'd love to hear it.

    Hey there 79usma79!
    I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • In itunes (on phone) is there any way to deleate a song from it as opposec deleating from itunes (pain in the ***0

    is there any to deleate songs from the iphone than from itunes, a real pain

    You can't delete it directly from the phone unless you erase all of the content off the phone.  You don't need to delete it from your iTunes library, but it does need to be connected to iTunes to remove the song(s) from the phone.

  • Is there any way to reset my admin password?

    My wife somehow changed the password I had set up for her, and doesn't remember it. Without the password, I can't do updates.
    I found something that said you can change the password with an Apple ID, but the option to do that stays grayed out even after I have entered her Apple ID.
    Any suggestions? Can an Apple Store reset it for me?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
