I have tried to enter my passcode but I cannot remember it!  Can I turn off my passcode for good?-

I would really like it if I did not have to worry about the passcoda again!

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 iPod 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: How to back up    
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    
Restoring the iPod, even from a back that was made with the screen-lock passcode resent, does not restore the screen-lock passcode.

  • I have a new iphone 5C. How can I turn off the passcode. It does not have 'Passcode' in settings - general -. Can anyone help please.

    I have a new iphone 5c.  How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !!  Can anyone help?  Susie

    Thank you Chris.  Yes  I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off.  All the forums visited said it was under general.  I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly.  Susie

    Do I really have to Reset the iPad?

    Yes, you will need to restore your iPad.  This link will help restore from a lost passcode:

  • HT201365 I like the additional security features but don 't want to type in a password every time I use my phone.  How can I turn off the requirement for a password but leave "Find my Phone" active?

    Settings>General>Passcode Lock...enter your passcode, then: Turn Passcode Off.

  • Can't turn off my passcode lock.

    Hi, i can't turn off mu passcode. The section of "Turn passcode of" isn't valid. It is passive and i can't select that.

    Lots of companies, if you access your work email from your phone, require that, to protect company information, you have a password. As part of the Exchange set up, a profile is installed on your phone that can enforce the password requirement. I'm sure your IT department knows about the requirement as they would have had to set it up. You should discuss it with them. If they refused to change the settings, you'll either have to live with the passcode lock or not get your work email on your phone.
    Best of luck.

    I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?

    Hey there fwhitson,
    It sounds like you no longer have your phone but need to unlink your phone number from the iMessages service. According to this article, this is what you do:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Can I turn off required passcode in iOS 7.1.1

    There does not seem to be an answer to this in the 7.1 manual and I have not found an answer on the web that was correct or reliable.
    My simple question: Can the passcode that is used to secure first access to a device running 7.1.1 be disabled?
    It appears to me that this can no longer be done. When I access General > Passcode on my iPad 3, once I enter the current passcode, there is an option to change the passcode and other passcode features BUT the "Turn Passcode Off" option is grey and not accessible. It seems that there might be some other feature I need to disable first before I can disable the passcode but I cannot find it.

    Hi Jstevenh,
    How did you actually disable the passcode?
    I have exactly the same issue - Turn Passcode off Greyed!

  • TS3376 How can I turn off the passcode thing? I can barely see some of the print, by the way.

    I cannot turn off the passcode feature on my iPad 2. I have done what they say, it says it's off, I got an email that says I am no longer protected, but the horrid passcode that comes constantly is still there.  Ready to throw it away, and was previously addicted.

    Are you sure that it is still asking for a passcode and not for your SIM PIN which looks very similar?

  • I can't turn off my passcode

    Hi, I'm on 7.1.2 and the option to turn off my passcode is greyed out, so now I can't turn it off.
    Before anyone asks, I don't even know what a Microsoft exchange account is, and I don't have one. (That was the problem for people on here).
    Help, thank you.

    Okay I solved the problem.
    The Virgin media mobile rescue I was using in Settings > General > Profiles was enforcing a Passcode, therefore greying the option out.

  • I pad has been disabled as kids typing in wrong passcode to many times. I pad says connect to I tunes, tried to but pc asks to put in passcode to enter I tunes but as its disabled I can't type in a passcode. Any ideas ?

    iPad has been disabled as kids have typed in wrong passcode too many times. Have tried to connect to iTunes to restore it but can't as PC says to enter passcode but I obviously can't as iPad is disabled. Any ideas ?

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    You will need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • HT204291 I seem to have tried all of the above, but still cannot find the airplay symbol on my Ipad 2. Any suggestions ?

    I cannot find the airplay symbol on my Ipad 2. I have tried all suggestions in te troubleshooting guide, but still no success. Please help.

    Have you left the iPod to charge for a couple of hours and then tried resetting it again? It can take up to at least 30 minutes of charging before an iPod with a dead battery shows any signs of life.  By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?

  • Can't turn off iPad passcode lock in iOS 7

    I searched these forums looking for the answer to this question. Some said that there is an option called turn passcode off under general, passcode lock. I don't have that in my menu. I have two options, Autolock and passcode lock. I have set autolock to never. When I go to passcode lock, and turn it off it simply asks for a new pass code. There is no option anywhere to turn it off. Is this no longer possible?

    You should go into settings, general,, passcode lock. Enter your current passcode then you'll see the option to turn it off.

  • I have been using the app Fotor, for editing my pictures, it has crashed, i have tried to re install it, but it is still " crashed" can anyone help please?

    Hello people
    I have been using an app called FOTOR for edtining my pictures, it has recently crashed. I deleted it and re installed it but it ha sthe same crashed staus, can any one help me please? I miss it so much...

    UnInstall the App first and then Restart the computer then Verify and Repair Permissions.
    There are so many third party Apps out there that are just problematic to Mac's.  I am sorry for your problems but you can Install a program like GIMP it is Free and Open Source and has always been a very good app for Mac users and it was really developed for users that couldn't afford Adobe's Photoshop.
