Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

I forgot my security questions and it will not let me reset them

I forgot my answers to my security questions and when I try to reset them it will not let me. It is telling me that I have to wait a week to get in touch with someone from apple to fix this problem.

Hi, soundwave0701.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend the section labeled Note in the article below.
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

Help! My Apple ID password and username will not let me change.

My Apple ID has changed since my email account was hacked. I am unable to change my Apple ID on the iphone. I have requested an email be sent to the old email address and it does not send. I have tried to change my information by using my birthday, but it does not recognize my birthday using the old email account. My iPad has the new and correct Apple Id, but I am unable to change my iphone's Apple ID. Please HELP.....this is frustrating.

Iphone 5 freezes and crashes, won't let me into my calling or texting. How do I fix it?

I have had my IPhone 5 16GB for just over a year now, and it's never had these problems before. Recently my phone started freezing when I went to kill apps, then it started freezing on all my apps, and after it freezes it restarts, but when it restarts it won't let me into my phone, so I have to restart it myself. And now I can't even get into my texting OR calling. No calls are coming through to me, I can't dial out, I can't see any of my text messages, and I can't even send new texts from my contacts. I tried everything! I have tried resetting the home button, I have tried restarting my phone by holding down the power button and home button at the same time, (this is the only way to unfreeze my phone, but it only lasts maybe 5 minutes) and I have even connected my phone to the computer and tried restoring it, but nothing has worked. How can I fix these issues? I need to be able to make calls and receive them too. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or is it time for a new phone? Also my battery life is very bad, it dies very fast. I also have 3.1GB of storage on my phone as well. Today ( Dec 9th, 2014) I also update to the most recent software, 8.1.2. and the problems are still there.

If the phone does not work if you set it up as new device, without using any backup afterwards, you should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place, or call Apple Support, they even can test your device online.

I forgot my iCloud password and I am not able to change it. It just allows me to change my Apple ID and its password but not the one of iCloud. I tried to delete my iCloud account but then they ask me about the password. What can I do?

Hello, my problem is written above. Please help me!
Thank you

TS1541 I forgot my login password and it won't let me in to my Mac...please help!

I bought a new IMAC all in one in February 2012....so its very new. I have forgotten my login password when I turn on the MAC therefore it won't allow me access. Please, someone tell me how to reset this!!! Thank you!!

Hello,
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Change Password from the Installer menu up at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Change Password.*
Of course for 10.7 & up there is no Install Disk, so boot from your Restore Partition holding CMD+r keys, & look for it there.

HT201272 I forgot my ipad password and now it says to connect to itunes and i did and its not showing me how to get back in my ipad or restarting it. how do i restart~reset my ipad so i can log into it again. thanks so much Krisha

TS3112 I tried using sudo rm to get rid of remote desktops but the terminal responded as needing password and yet would not let me type in anything. help please.

I tried to type in details but unable to do so. we lived in a gated apt buildings in Hi with 24-hour security guards and cameras. This false sense of security led us to foolishly leave the computer on all the time, not log off even when out shopping. Never expect people would open our locks (three locks) and walked into our apt while we were out. We have dishes, clothes and corning vision cookwares missing. We have all our important docs including computer serial numbers. We noticed our computer not respond and files and applications move around. We know they are not done by themselves and looked into console log list. The person who remotely logs or links with our computer thought that we are old folks and knew little about how to discover their act. Tried many times to get rid of it but was not successful. Finally today we hauled our imac to the apple store and explained the need to get rid of remote desktop. All went well and we thought our computer is at a factory installed state. We forgot to start firewall, probably did not disconnect third party help status (apple store third party). Forgot to write down cable provider IP and resulted in using wi fi. Look into system log list and other diagnostics messages and found an mac book pro and went back to see if I can write down the entire message but this time it went blank. system log blank, library logs blank and /var/logs blank and so is user log. Activity monitor froze would not open. We had it clean up in apple store today november 18, 2013. We have an Imac and don't know anyone who owns mac book pro with log message dated on oct 22. The question is how it still hangs around after reset at the apple store and how to get rid of it and if it is possible? greatly appreciated.

The Terminal is letting you type it in. It just doesn't display anything when you do.

I have bought a 3rd generation IPod and have given my husband my 2nd gen Ipod plus my Ipad How do I change it over to him without losing all my passwords etc for my current one?

My question remains the same.

Just restore your old one. This wipes all content from the iPod and resets all of its settings back to its defaults.
