My iPhone 4 has not been working for the last 4months....I have just recently decided to give it another go and it seems to be working but I forgot my password. I would use iTunes to reset but my iTunes does not recognise my iPhone.... Is there anything that can be done

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device

Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

    Contact the carrier your phone is locked to to see if they offer official unlocking, & what the cost/procedure is. There is NO other way to get your phone officially unlocked, & Apple does not unlock iPhones.

    You do not have to restore as new.  You can restore fom backup since the screen-lock passcode isnot in the backup.  ALso, if  iTunes asks for the passcode andyu can't enter the passcode place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

  • How can I unlock my iphone to use out of the country.I have a iphone 5

    Im traveling out of the country,and I need to unlock my iphone 5 to use there.How can I do that?

    You don't need to unlock your iPhone if you want to use it abroad. There's roaming
    If, however you want to insert a SIM card in another country, you should contact your provider. Every provider has it's specific rules for unlocking so I can't give you a general answer

  • How can I unlock my iPhone to use it in the UK?

    I came to the UK for one semester study-abroad program, and when I first got here, I could unlock my Galaxy 3 just by suspending the device, I could use that device fine until the phone got completely broken. Then, I received a new iPhone that was bought in the US, but now I can't use my phone because it is apparently not unlocked. Could you please please help me with it? This has been so annoying and I've been unable to use my phone at all for a week. I cannot call verizon number because all my friends just bought prepaid sim card and cannot make an international calls and I cannot ask others for international calls that I don't even know how long they will take. Verizon also doesn't seem to have an email address, so I also asked my friend in the US to call verizon, and it still doesn't work. Can I call verizon through skype or something? Could you please help me unlocking the phone? I really need to use my phone right now. Thanks a lot in advance.

    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:
