HT4623 restore locked password iphone

I forgot my iphone 3 password how do i get in and unlock and restore iphone

If you Restore it on the last computer you synced to it will remove the passcode. If any other computer (or you never synced it) you will have to restore it from Recovery mode or DFU mode and you will lose all content on the phone.

  • Trouble restoring locked/disabled iPhone 3G

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3G and I forgot the password. It is disabled and says connect with Itunes. When i connect it with Itunes however, it says this phone is locked with a password and cannot connect to itunes unless unlocked--but, obviously, I don't know my password!
    I looked up how to recover and and restore/update the 3G and followed the steps. It instructed me to do the following:
    1) Turn off iPhone
    2) Plug in charger to USB port on Mac (without iPhone plugged in)
    3) Open Itunes
    4) Press and hold home button for a few seconds
    5) Then connect to computer while still holding down home button
    6) "Connect to Itunes" should appear with the Itunes logo on your iPhone
    7) When this is complete your computer will notify that an iPhone was detected and is in recovery mode
    8) There will be a "restore and update" button: click that and your iPhone will restore and update
    9) Keep your iPhone plugged into the computer untill process is complete
    10) Your iPhone will be restored and updated as a new iPhone
    My Problem:
    I followed the steps up until step #6 showed above. The "Connect to Itunes" did not appear. However I kept holding down the home button and it just went back to my lock screen which said: "IPHONE IS DISABLED, CONNECT TO ITUNES."
    Now I am not able to restore my locked/disabled iPhone.
    PLEASE HELP.

                                                                              It goes directly back to this every time

  • 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.

    Do as the manual says to do and restore the iphone.

  • I restored my old iPhone 4 - it asked for a password, none of my usual codes worked, and now it's in "disabled" mode.

    I bought the new iPhone 5 awhile back and just placed my iPhone 4 in a drawer. In trying to set it up to give to my Mom, the restored iPhone 4 wanted a password. I used all the passwords I usually use and nada. I can't connect to iTunes because my new phone is setup and I still need to unlock the phone to do anything.
    How do I get the phone out of disabled mode? I took out the sim card and have the Find my iPhone app set to my new phone.

    I didn't have it synced to any computer since I got a new phone. I ended up restoring it by turning it off, holding the home button until the apple came back up, while still holding - connected to iTunes - and restored. It wiped everything which I didn't mind. Now, no lock password. Yippeeee!!

  • Synchs iphone but won't restore without password

    itunes synchs with iphone but won't restore without password to unlock iphone backup files. Have tried every password I know, including the one revealed in keychains, and numeric values such as 0000, etc. to no avail. Have checked other forums and all offer possible solutions such as deleting files from itune restarting and upgrading, jailbreaking and various other terms which I do not understand...all sound iffy and possibly precarious, at best since they are not apple supported forums and some users report success using such methods but others do not. This is an apple issue and should be addressed by apple. How can I discover the wanted password and restore function to my phone, avoid this happening again with future updates, and not have to waste 3 days of my life to recover from an apple generated issue?

  • I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times

    I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times. The message I  get is ( iphone is disabled- connect to itunes

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

  • HT1212 how do i restore a disabled iphone 4s cause its locked now and itunes wont sync up to it

    how do i fix or restore a disabled iphone 4s thats locked due to someone putting in the wrong passcode to many times

    Hi, moviekid826.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This is normal behavior as a device will remove itself from recovery mode after 15 minutes.  I would recommend processing the steps in the article below.  Once this is done, disconnect the device and allow the iOS to download.  After the iOS completes the download process these steps again.
