I don't know my screen lock code!!

Hello. I am totally new to iPod. So I hardly know what to do. I was fooling around with my iPod one day,then I accidentally screen locked my iPod. It began to vibrate a little after I locked it,but when I turned my iPod off and on again,the screen lock was on!! How do I figure out my code?

Try this, connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

  • My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

    My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it  says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

    - 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.

  • Changing Screen Lock Code

    Having bought a used 5th Gen iPod from a store I discover that it already has a screen lock code set. Neither myself nor the store know what the existing code is for me to enter and thereby change the code.
    Is there a way around this? Does a full restore also restore the code to factory settings so I can start anew?

    Thank you, I did a restore anyway to solve other problems, but as it is still reloading the iTunes library I have yet to discover what happened to that code.

  • Hello - can anyone tell me why my iPad (4th Gen) screen will no longer rotate. I don't have a screen lock symbol next to the battery icon. I have the rotate icon on my desktop but still can't get the screen to rotate.

    Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.

  • HT201359 I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel  in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?

    I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel  in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?

    THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
    If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • My ipod just adds apps but won't delete any. I can't restore it to its factory settings as I don't know the 4 digit code. Can anyone help please?

    My ipod will add apps happily but it won't delete any so they've built up so now I can't add anymore. . I can't take it back to the factory settings because I don't know the 4 digit code. Please can someone help?! xxx

    Sorry. You can't get help here. Ask whoever wrote the jailbreak.
    You can try putting it in DFU mode (google is your friend), but that's all we can suggest.
    Jailbreaking voids your warranty and AppleCare agreement and forfeits all rights to support.

  • My ipod has a black screen.  I have tried to hold the sleep/off button and menu button at the same time with no luck.   I connected to my computer and tried restore on itunes -  still with a black screen a voice said "screen locked'  code 542

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

  • Seriously Screwed All Bcus a Screen Lock Code

    I changed my screen lock code and went to change it but realised i had forgotten it. Went down to the computer to find what to do and it said restore. Thats all fine and good so i updated my itunes like it said but now the USB port wont recognise my iPod for me to restore it..What do i do?

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Screen lock code

    i would like to enter a code so i can lock my ipod nano. the "change combination" screen says "enter old code". i never entered a code so i don't know what to enter, i have tried 0000 and 1111. is there a factory default code?
    i know i can reinstall all the software and music but was looking for a simpler method.
    thanks, pliny

    If the iPod nano is unlocked and you want to erase
    the old stored code, resetting the iPod should erase
    it.
    See this for info on how to reset...

    Note: A reset is like restarting your computer. No
    data will be affected or erased.

    thanks that did it.

  • How to cancel screen lock code ?

    I creat the screen when I set the email with exchange mode
    but how to cancel the lock code after I delete this email account
    Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    When slected off, did it prompt you for a password/pin to confirm?  Try this:
    1.  Turn it off.
    2.  Close the card and dont do anything else.
    3.  Immediately shut down the phone, hold down power button for the option.
    4.  Turn it back on.
    Does turning screen off and on promp password again still?  If so, the next step will be to partial erase the device by going into device info and tap reset options.

  • Set a second screen lock code for parents

    Can I set a second lock code to use on the lock screen to access my childs phone?

    There isn't a way to do that. With the phones that have Touch ID you could add a second fingerprint which would allow access (except that a passcode is still required when restarting).
