I changed my lock screen password on my phone and can't remember it what can I do to get back into my phone?

You will have to restore the phone as new to remove the passcode and then you can restore from your latest backup. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

    If iTunes is asking you to enter the iPod then yo have to restore and thus erase the iPod after you place the iPod in recovery mode. Otherwise:

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘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 canceling 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.
     Cheers, Tom

  • What happens when you reach the maximum number of failed attempts on the lock screen password of iPod Touch?

    Do you get the screen that says, "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes", or do you get that screen when you reach the maximum number attempts on the restrictions password?

    Thank you. I am out of town traveling and my daughter sent me a picture saying the got the before mentioned message. She told me she forgot her lock screen password, and that just boggled my mind considering she locks and unlocks that thing 1000 times daily. I automatically assumed she was trying to guess the password I put on the restrictions page.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Lumia - Lock Screen Password

    I want to enable password for my lock screen. But it doesnt work as I expected. It says that I can set a particular time that password will enable. And I did set for example one minute till the password will enable, before a minute and my screen is locked, I have to input the password.
    and i'm wondering why the lock screen password also lock my child enable screen? The password should be enable only for my screen, not to my kid screen.
    I hope, nokia or microsoft can solve this ackward. Thank you.

    cannot say why you are having a challenge if the kids corner is locking too.
    are you sure that when you tap the power button to turn on, that you are swiping to the right FIRST and then up? because on my device, the lock shows on my screen but after i swipe to the kids login, it does not require the pin.

  • Suggest RIM change the lock screen unlocking style

    the current  lock screen unlocking style is fresh and great,BUT too many times unexpected unlocking happened when we put the Z10 in the pocket because the skin of our body under the pocket touch the screen then unlock the lock screen unexpectedly and randomly.

    It could tap the screen for x seconds? I think your situation is very unlikely
