HT5012 security flaw when entering pass code

When entering your pass code/password to access your phone, is there not a way to turn off the 'glowing' effect after you hit each number/letter?  Seems like it will be easier for someone to find out you pass code by looking over your shoulder. IMHO

Great, thanks.

    You have to restore it using a computer with iTunes per the knowledge base article above.

  • HT201365 How do I change settings so I do not have to enter pass code all the time?

    How do I change sttings so I do not have to enter pass code all the time?

    The passcode is a key security feature to ensure that nobody has access to your device and data without you entering the passcode in. You can only have the option to have it on or off so if you wish to disable it then go to "settings>general>passcode lock" to do this.

  • I got my iPhone disabled mistakenly by six trials of entering pass code. However now I remembered  my passcode so how can fix the problem without losing my contents.

    I got my iPhone disabled mistakenly by six trials of entering pass code. However now I remembered  my passcode so how can fix the problem without losing my contents.

    If your phone is now disabled, you've already lost all data on the phone...that's the whole point of the passcode, to protect the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it, as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    This will remove the passcode, but also erase all data on the phone unless you have a backup to restore from.

  • HT201263 iphone is screen shows to connect to itunes although when pluged in it asks for you to enter pass code on phone but it is stuck in this screen how to enter passcode

    I washed my Iphone, it is now dryed out and the screen stays stuck in what appears to be a recovery mode. It shows to connect the phone to itunes.
    Itunes reconizes the phone but states it has a passcode that needs to be entered to unlock phone for itunes to connect. I cant enter the pass code becose it is stuck in this screen How can I restore it or enter the passcode inorder to get it into itunes

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

  • The phone does not lock up when entering PIN code

    This morning my Z1 Compact wanted me to enter the PIN code: I did so but the only thing that happened was that the text "Enter PIN code" disappeared. But I was still at the same page. It seems to have stuck or freezed. Tried to remove and reset the SIM card, called the operator who says there´s nothing wrong with the SIM card. tried to force restart with and without the SIM card. I can't get pass that starting page.
    The funny thing is that on the "mssage board" or whatever it is called at the top of the phone is updating when I got a message, mail, updates etc. But I can not scroll down and see them in detail. 

    You may want to consider running a software repair
    Fully switch off your phone and make sure it is disconnected from your Pc then start PC Compannion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue select Repair my phone /tablet and follow the onscreen instructions and when prompted making sure your phone is still switched off hold Volume down and connect your USB cable which should enter your phone into flashmode and start the repair process

  • IPod on voice command unable to enter pass code

    Some how I have activated voice command on my iPod and when I try to enter the pass code the cell remain blank and the iPod remains locked

    I think you mean VoiceOver
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • "No network connection" on Mac OSX Freedome client when entering the code

    Hi, Freedome Mac OSX lost the subscription information on version upgrade from the Beta version to the full version on last night. When I tryi to re-register using my existing code the application just shows "No network connection"-dialog and exits.  What to try next? The Beta version client did not have any issues and now I'm not able to use my subscription. Regs,Harri    

    Hello Harri99,
    In order to make sure all traces of the Beta version are gone, please proceed to uninstall as follows:
    -Remove Freedome from /Applications. 
    - Delete the folders "/Library/Application Support/F-Secure/FSFreedome" and "~/Library/Application Support/F-Secure/FSFreedome" 
    -Remove "Your F-Secure Freedome Key" from your login keychain (it's in Passwords category).
    -Reinstall the latest version available here.
