HT5569 How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

There's some confusion here. Do you mean the code to visit settings/general/restrictions, or the Apple ID and password to deactivate Activation Lock? Here's how to test.
First, go to settings/General/Restrictions. Do you need to enter a 4 digit code? If you do, then connect the phone to your computer and restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
If no code is required to get into Restrictions what you need is the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set Find my iPhone. To verify that this is what is needed go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and passcode. If you don't have them your phone is permanently disabled. You can contact Apple Account Security to prove you are the owner of the Apple ID and get the password reset.

    How to find my iphone back up file in itune without connect my iphone? I lost my phone and urgently need to find my contacts in PC, anyone can help?

  • My iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    my iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

  • Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings?

    Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings? I am a bit worried about losing everything on my phone if I do this but at the same time I don't want them to get any other information. Any ideas?

    Did you log in with your bank account via the link included with this email?
    If not, you have nothing to worry about.
    Accessing or viewing the email alone can't provide your bank account info or the log in for your bank account.

  • How to: Resetting install location back to "Default Location..." (Windows 8)

    I recently upgraded my PC and added an SSD as my primary drive. Like most people, I also have a secondary drive for most apps and files. In the Creative Cloud App manager, I changed the Installation location to a directory on my secondary drive. The problem was, Some applications I wanted on my SSD for performance reasons and there was no way to change back to the setting "Default location..." Because CC installs both a 32 bit and 64 bit version of some applications, I wanted to make sure that it put them in the correct "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders. After some poking about in the config files I finally found out how to do it.
    (NOTE: The path below is for Windows 8 and possibly Windows 7, for other OS's it will likely be in a similiar path)
    Close the Adobe Creative Cloud app (File > Quit)
    Open this file in notepad: C:\Users\ExampleUser\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\com.adobe.accc.apps.....prefs
    Search through the text untill you find the install location that you set. Mine was "E:\Program Files\"
    Delete only that path (leave the <) and then save the file.
    Relaunch the Adobe Creative Cloud app
    Then check the Install Location in Preferences. It should now be set back to "Default Location..."

    For Mac OS X (Yosemite) I found you need to do the following:
    1. Quit the Creative Cloud Application in the title bar.
    2. Open Activity Monitor, find the Process named "Adobe Desktop Service". Click the stop sign icon with an "x" in it and select Quit to stop this process.
    3. Edit the file ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/com.adobe.accc.apps.....prefs
       a. Same as in the Windows case, find the line with "installLocation" and delete everything containing a file path between the following ">" and "<"
    4. Restart Adobe Creative Cloud from /Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud/Adobe Creative Cloud

  • How to reset report output back to default language.

    Hello Everyone,
    I am working on 11i to R12 up-gradation process.
    I need to move some reports from 11i to R12 and resolve bugs which report faces after shifting.
    I am working on one report of output type : PDF named 'Delivery Note Report' in SCM-Order Management,
    It is a RDF with template report and not XML publisher(there is no separate RTF).
    RDF template is prepared with English text.
    In 11i report output comes in EN-US(Standard English) language
    whereas in R12 it is coming in Kenyan language.
    I need to set output language to default EN-US, how can I proceed ?
    Thanks
    Sudbun

    Hello Experts,
    I checked user preferences : it is set to EN-US
    I checked concurrent program language details : it is American English
    I got to know about a file named : uifont.ali (present in middle tier /ora/R12/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/guicommon/tk/admin)
    it contains PDF:subset section in it we can specify the particular language/font in which we want output of our report.
    I tried replacing this section with default language and restarted report server, even I tried removing that file from middle tier(just for testing purpose).
    Can anyone suggest any other approach as still the issue exist.
    Kindly reply.
    Regards

  • How do you make fonts back to default size in Firefox 24? They are blown way too big.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 22 and 24, the font size has been extremely huge. The only way to make it smaller is ctrl - , but when I go to other sites the fonts are normal size.
    I want to be able to get the default size font on the Firefox 24. I've been using Chrome because this has been so darned annoying, it's even causing Bing to screw up.
    Can someone help me get this fixed?

    This isn't the best way for it.
    Coz my monitor isn't really big.(21.5')
    It is very match for me by using 125%.
    But for FF22(or above) is too big, and the photo will zoom in for 125%
    that was a mess.
    And Chrome has the function but it isn't default but adjust from "chrome://flags"

  • How to uncheck encypt iphone backup if i forgot password ?

    I want to delete my backup password ( uncheck encrypt iphone backup ) but i forgot the password so i delete my backup and uninstall itunes to solve this problem but when i reinstall the itunes and connect my iphone to itunes its still want the password to uncheck the encrypt iphone backup ! how can get my password or how to uncheck encrypt iphone back up ??
    please help me

    You are being a rediculous rationalizer.
    If you can't change anything or help at all, why respond just to rationalize and twist what I'm asking?
    And to assume I read the article before this happened was silly.
    I am saying clearly, this is buggy  behaviour that should be changed.
    Every other thing when you encrypt a backup, you are encrypting the backup, not disabling your ability to every make an unencrypted backup again if you forget those backup passwords.
    I know you have no means to change it and absolutely nothing helpful to add I don't already know whch I indicated had you bothered to read instead of jumping in with the rationalizations and repeating what i already said.  You are just talking to yourself with rediculous remarks like "blame yourself" for not taking some article seriuosly I had not read and should not have had to, because it's a silly buggy quirk in the design I hope apple will address.
    You must not work much with encrypted backups with other companies to not understand, usually, when you're encyrpting a backup, you're encrypting that file, not preventing yourself from ever making an unencrypted backup again if you lose the password.  Backups and the phone are two different things.  Please do not respond with unhelpful ignorance again.  You have no clue what you are talking about in terms of security implications.  Turning backups off would not let you "take apart an encrypted backup" if it's encrypted properly.  The encryption is in the backup file itself, which would have no affect on creating unencrypted backups after deleting the old encrypted ones.  I tried to be graceful but you really have no clue of the security implications and you are being very silly saying I should have taken an article seriously I hadn't read until I ran into this quirky behavior.  You have no idea what choice is.  Wow.  You know, it's possible for someone to want to change a password they forgot on backups without having to wipe out their whole phone config, messages, etc.  This in no way jepordizes the security of backups made with the old password. You are being clueless on this.  Please do not respond if all you have to add is rationalizations of how any other way would be insecure when you don't know what you're talking about.  You're snide remark that someone "does't know security" if they want to turn off encrypted phone backups or change the password on future backups, if they forgot it displays a huge amount of ignorance not worth trying to correct.  Apple's great.  Doesn't mean they don't make mistakes.
