HT5661 What is the password when I want to erase all content and settings?
I am trying to erase all my content and settings and keep getting asked for a password. My initial login 4 numbers do not work - any ideas? I have tried 0000
It's the same code you use to unlock the phone

When I go to erase all content and settings the phone ask for a password.
The same password, you use to unlock your phone, use that passcode.

No. Your other devices will be unaffected.
Just tap Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all content and settings. -

My iPod touch got restarted and frozen on the apple logo screen after I erased all content and settings. And it got restarted and frozen again every 5-10 mins until low battery. It also doesn't recognize by iTunes. Did any one has the same problem? And how did you solve it? Thank you.

I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen.. However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this? I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode. I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.
The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.

Why cant I erase all content and settings? When I choose this option from the menu it takes me to a screen with a USB plug and an itunes logo and freezes there.
What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes? That is how you restore to factory settings.

I am trying to Erase All Content and Settings from my ios and it is asking for a 4 digit passcode but I dod not set any passcode for my iphone. I've reset it before and never asked now it is showing after the new IOS6 update.
Is there a default passcode or where can I get the code?
Thanks,If you are referring to the passcode lock you can restore the iPad by connecting it to your computer and using iTunes.
If you are being asked for your Apple ID and password you will have to enter that. No way around it. -
We are wanting to reset our ipod but when we go to erase all content it asks us for a restriction password and we have no idea what that is and dont remember ever setting one up. How do we get around this.?
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see:
How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
As Ana said,
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How can I erase all content and settings without password
I just bought this iPad from my friend, when I try to erase all content and settings, it asked me about the password of his Apple ID password. But he already forgot it! So how can I erase everything back to the factory setting, like a brand new iPad, has nothing in it. Please help and thank you very much.
That is activation lock and cannot be bypassed. He will have to remember his password, or reset it so you can continue with the restore. There's no way around this as it is an anti theft feature to prevent thieves from being able to use the device. It would be pointless if you could bypass it.

how do i prepare my iphone 3 to sell ..
i've never been able to download new apps so i don't want to lose the apps that are on there
am i to reset all settings? or erase all content and settings? or reset network settings?Only the apps that are part of iOS will remain on the phone.
If you're going to sell it, use "Erase All Content and Settings".
If you're selling it, what difference does it make to you if the apps get erased? You don't have the legal right to transfer any apps you bought to anyone else. Not to mention the fact that you stated you have never been able to download new apps...
Why don't you just re-post the question in your native language. There are so many contradictions in your post that i don't believe you're conveying the questions you think you are. -
I "Erased all content and settings" and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in. Plus my iPhone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did I do? How do I get my phone to work again?
Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

I have reset my iphone and erased all content and settings. when i turned it back on i only have access to emergency numbers what should i do?
Thanks for help.After wiping it, you need to re-activate it. If it is carrier locked, you will need to activate it on the network it is locked to.

I have reset my ipad using General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. And now it will not boot. All i see on screen is the Apple logo. What do i do?
When you restore, you can restore to factory settings or to a backup. Restoring to factory settings removes everything and takes you back to out of the box status and you start all over again. Restoring from your backup will replace all of your app data, bookmarks, email settings and things like that. You still may need to sync all of your purchased apps and music, photos and so on back to the iPad.
I assume you want to restore from your backup to put all of you data back on the device so connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading and select restore from backup. After you restore from your backup, make sure that you sync all of your other content with iTunes. -
