The only thing you can do is drop your backups and plug your device to your computer to make another backup.

HT201365 How do I unlock the phone after locking it through "Find My iPhone?"

How do I unlock the phone after locking it through "Find My iPhone?"

If you placed it in lost mode to lock it, sign into icloud.com, click on lost mode and turn it off. If it is locked with Activation lock you'll have to provide the password for the iCloud ID you are being prompted for in order to use it.

I've downloaded the IOS7 to my i-phone 4. My password to unlock the phone is alfa-numeric the keyboard used to come up, now it's just numbers- I've converted to numbers but it won't unlock, any ideas please?

Hi, please can anyone help, I've downloaded IOS7 onto my i-phone 4 this morning, I simply accepted the prompt. When it downloaded I needed to unlock the phone, it's a four digit code, three alfa and one numeric. Previously when I switched my phone on the key pad popped up at the bottom of the screen, now it's like the telephone key pad, but there's no way of choosing numbers or letters. I checked out a website that converts alfa to entered m4rk and it converted it to 6475, when I enter it into the phone it doesn't recognise it.
Any ideas please? I've maned to block the phone several times now....

No one requires the device to be updated, if you choose not to update, that is entirely up to you.
Updating without a backup is a bad idea.
Attempting an update without access to a computer is not very smart either. In the event the update goes badly, the only option may be to restore via iTunes on a computer.

I've lost my Contacts, Messages, Photos etc after having IOS 4.3.2 installed at the Apple Store. I cannot locate previous back-up history, only the back-up after I synced the phone after it had been updated. How do I recover my previous info please?

You should have restored the backup that was on your computer before syncing. Now it is too late. However, if you followed the instructions in the manual and set up an app on your computer to sync contacts and calendar to they will still reside in those apps. Photos in the camera roll are lost, however, if you had followed the instructions in the manual to copy photos from the camera roll to your computer regularly you can restore them to the photo app from the copy on your computer. Text messages are gone for good. Music and Apps should be in the music library on your computer.

My screen says I need to restore, but it won't let me type in my password to unlock the phone

My iPhone screen says I need to restore the phone, and to do so I should connect to iTunes. However, when I connect to iTunes, it tells me that my phone is locked and I need to type in my passcode on my phone. My phone will not let me type in my passcode or do anything else - it just shows the "Restore Needed" screen. What do I do? I've already tried turning it off and on.

Force the phone into recovery mode:
If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

I can't activate my phone after reformatting it. My old appleID can't unlock the phone after it was been hacked and erase information inside

I am having dilemma after reformatting my iPhone 5 and I can't get through the re-activation page. It requires me to log-in using my old apple ID which I abandoned 2 years ago after it was been hacked. Apparently, I was able to retrieve my old Apple ID and iCloud, however, the purchased items, downloaded apps, the linked device ("find my iphone app" to link) and other information were wiped out. I reset the password several times to see whether it helps, but still shows error message "Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this phone".
Any advices and help to get through?

Also I have not done anything to the phone ever since I bought it, so I assume that it's locked?

How do I restore my passcode (not password) in my iphone5s. It's the one that is asked whenever you have to unlock the phone. I got used to having my thumb mark open it that I forgot it after my phone got recharged after it drained out.

how do I get my passcode (not password) in my iphone5s sent to me via email. It's the one that is asked whenever you have to unlock the phone. I got used to having my thumb mark open it that I forgot it after my phone got recharged after it drained out. Apparently, the fingerprint won't do after the phone was drained and recharged again. The passcode has to be typed in. I don't usually allow my phone to drain out except this one time on a long trip. Hence I forgot my passcode and I prefer it being sent to me via my registered email. I know that if you enter it several times, the phone gets locked out over certain periods from 1 minute to 60 minutes so I don't want to take that risk. Any suggestions?

First, this is a user-to-user technical support forum, not a way to communicate with Apple.
That aside, no one can email your passcode to you because no one (not even Apple) knows it. The passcode exists in only one place - on the phone. You will have to restore the phone using the computer that you regularly sync it to. This will reinstall iOS, remove the passcode, and restore your most recent backup.
Edit:
See: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode for more details

Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

Disable the "enter a password to unlock the disk" prompt

is there a way to disable the "enter a password to unlock the disk" prompt? My macbook has 2 logical drives, one of them is encrypted, and everytime I start the Mac os x it pops up with that prompt.
Any help is appreciated!

You would have to create the file /etc/fstab with an entry to prevent the volume from mounting automatically. That's advanced system hacking that I don't recommend, but if you want to do it, see the fstab(5) man page for instructions (you must be shell-literate to do this.) Otherwise you're going to be prompted.

Enter a password to unlock the disk???

I've been using a Seagate portable backup for my Time Machine backup. I noticed it wasn't recognizing the disk so I unplugged it (got the "disk was not ejected properly" one time) and plugged it back in. Then I clicked on the little clock in my menu bar to open Time Machine and when I clicked on Set Preferences I got a pop up with a little house icon with a dial in the middle and the message"enter a password to unlock the disk. I tried entering what I thought was my password (same one as what locks my computer) and it froze. What is going on-? HELP!!!!

Hmm. Another good question... i don't remember!? It now contins two partitions; _backup, which is Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) and Owners Enabled: Yes, and a partition labeled Data which is also Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) but Owners Enabled: No.
From this discussion it is apparent that the _backup partition is the one needing a password, none of which I use(d) works.

Got free redemption code for ML but no password to unlock the document

How long it will take to receive the password to unlock the redemption code document, I received my code after 7 dats from apple but still can't open it without the password. Does anyone have a clue?

Your best bet would be to call Apple support. I don't think there's much help fellow users can give you with this problem.

You can call AT&T. If the phone is out of contract they may unlock it for you. Other than that, you won't have much help here as we cannot discuss unauthorized means to unlock the phone.
