HT4623 i locked my iphone and forgot the password how do i reset it? i know my apple id and password just not my 4 digit passcode.

Is there a way to unlock my iphone 4 if I know my apple id and password but forgot the 4 digit passcode to unlock the phone?

You can't.  Your only option is to restore the device to factory settings in iTunes.

    Ok I answered the questions on itunes security and forgot the answers how do I reset them or get the answers to purchase songs

    It's used as a security measure so being able to reset is probably unlikely.
    Contact iTunes and see what they suggest

  • If we have 3 iPhones, and use the same iTunes for all content, should we use 3 Apple IDs and authorize for all 3 or just use 1 ID?

    I want to enable us to share all apps, music, videos and photos, but enable each phone to keep its contacts and history separate. If I use 1 ID, all new purchases will go on the same credit card, which I'm not sure is ideal, but not horrible. Since we use the same computer and iTunes using only 1 appleID, and the phones are new to the equation since it was only iPods before, what is the best way to handle a family with 3 phones that can share all entertainment content, but not all phone-related stuff? I saw that you can use one AppleID for purchases, but another for iCloud. That may be the best solution, but I don't know enough about this yet to move forward yet- migrating from Android...
    Appreciate the help.

    Thanks for the help, but a follow up question now.
    My iPhone won't arrive for a little while, but my wife already got hers and she wants to set it up now. Using my Apple ID for the purchases, if she starts setting hers up, can she change her iCloud ID to something else quickly? It keeps telling us that we have to sign in with the AppleID first.
    Should we just set up an iCloud account via normal internet before trying all this via iPhone?

  • I have credit, know my apple ID and have changed my password twice and still I cannot use my credit and buy a sone.   Why?, I have credit, know my apple ID and have changed my password twice and still I cannot use my credit and buy a sone.   Why?

    I have store credit.   This was not hard in the past.   I put in my ID and am told the password is wrong,   I've changed it twice.   Still I am asked for billing info when I have $44+ credit and even used a gift card yesterday but still I cannot purchase one song   This is ridiculous

    This did not work for me.  My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook.  I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up.  I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

  • HELP. My iPhone 3GS passcode lock and forgot the passcode. How to get back?

    HELP. My iPhone 3GS passcode lock and forgot the passcode. How to get back?

    The only reason you use bluetooth between iPad/iPhone its to share the internet from iPhone to wifi only iPad.
    In order to see the bluetooth connection, you must first enable the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
    Then on the iPhone, open Setting s> Bluetooth.
    Then open the Bluetooth on the iPad adn pair teh devices.

  • I tried to log on my new ipad and forgot the password combination.  Due to several tries the ipad is locked up.  I remembered the password but my ipad is still disabled.  How do I get it going again?

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    This will tell you how to restore
    iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
    If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
    iPad: Unable to update or restore

  • I locked my iMac and forgot the password

    I locked my Mac computer and forgot the password. i cannot get anything other then the sign in where i need the password. can anyone help?

    Restart your mac and hold the Command and R key. It should take you into Recovey Mode. Now select Utilities from the menu bar on top and then click terminal. In the terminal app, type 'resetpassword' (without quotes) and select your user account and click reset password. Now restart your mac by selecting the apple logo from menu bar and you can enter your new password!

  • I have an iphone 4S and forgot the 4 digit numbers to open it  ( I am using iphone 5 )

    thanks in advance

    Hi thetechlover,
    An Apple Store is not going to be able to unlock the phone without wiping it as a restore as new. If the OP doesn't want to lose everything, and has previously sync'd with iTunes, then they would want to have the opportunity to do a backup and then restore....

  • HT4623 I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

    I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

    Hello anacc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
