My phone was stolen and now I am trying to load everything from my Itunes on my Computer. It keeps asking for a passcode? I don't know what they want??

Can you help me get all my previous information from Itunes onto my new IPhone?
My other one was stolen and now I can't transfer my pictures and music. It keeps asking for a passcode? I have tried my apple passcode, my phone code...What does it want?

If iTunes is asking for a password to restore from an iTunes backup, then yes, you did set one up. You must have selected 'Encrypt iPhone Backup' when you created the backup. If you don't remember the password, then you'll have to restore the device as new.

HT201272 How to retrieve previous iphone backup from laptop to sync onto new iphone? Keeps asking for a passcode before it will restore the backup. No idea what the passcode is.

I backed up my previous iphone the other day in anticipation of it being replaced (wifi stayed grey non stop) and now I have my new phone and want to put all of my old data on but it keeps asking for a passcode before restoring the backup. I've put in what I thought it would be but get nowhere. How do I get the password or change it?

If your iPhone was passcode protected, check out the first section here.
Or it could be that the backup itself was encrypted in iTunes; that is discssued further down in this same article.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I've entered my fingerprint into my new 5S, but I can't seem to get it to work. It keeps asking for my passcode. How do I switch from passcode to fingerprint?

I've succssefully entered my fingerprint into my new 5S, but I can't get the phone to "accept" it; it keeps asking for my passcode. When I put my finger on the Home button, it does nothing. How do I switch from passcode to fingerprint?
Many thanks.

Make sure you have set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > Passcode Unlock = "On".
If you like, also set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > iTunes & App Store = "On".

There is no factory set restriction code. If you need to completely reset then follow the instructions you find here:

Exchange Email keeps asking for a Passcode

I have my phone connected to my exchange server via active-sync. However, this requires that you set a pass-code on the phone for security...which is a good thing. The problem is that the exchange email account does not synchronize this pass-code and requires you to enter a "NEW Pass-code" before it will get new data. This means that my messages are not being pushed to the phone because it thinks it does not have a pass-code. Has any see the same and do you have a fix?
Thanks,
CMR

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

HT4623 I installed OS 7 to my IPad 5 today and added a passcode. Now when I try to enter the passcode, I get locked out. What can I do?

I cannot acces my Ipad. After I enter my passcode, I am locked out. I did install OS 7 today.

To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.

I put my sim card into a new iphone and tried to change it back to the old one and now the phone is locked. It's asking for a passcode and I didn't have a passcode set up.

Hi! I need help! I put my sim card into a new iphone (3g) and then tried to put it back into the old one to get my contacts from it. Now the old iphone is locked and it's asking for a passcode, but I never set up a passcode on it. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?
