Hello HelpQuinyOut,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like somehow a passcode is enabled on your phone and you cannot unlock the phone.
While researching this issue, I found the article for you.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it
updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried? -

now I am required to have a lock on the phone.
No, you are not. Apple merely encourages there customers to secure their own data. Only fools choose to not have a passcode lock. I hope for your own laziness that you never keep any personal data on your phone... otherwise you are setting yourself up for major issues when your phone falls into the hands of an unscrupulous person. -

On the same computer it was last synced to. Otherwise it will set your iPhone back to factory settings with no content.

My iPhone lock button is broken..and now the phone is dead and won't turn on! Help!?
So the lock button on my iPhone 4 is broken, 100%, and the battery died earlier today, when I plug it in, it usually turns on if it has been dead...I tried doing this for hours and nothing happened, I plugged it into 3 different chargers thinking that might be the problem. And since there isn't a apple store close to me, I went to AT&T and they told me I need to do some type of restart (I forget what it's called) it is where you hold down the home and lock button at the same time, but as you can see that wont work since my lock button Is broken. Is there ANYTHING else I can do to fix it!?
Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first... -

I tried to update my iphone to ios 7.2.1 and now my phone is frozen what do i do!?
HELP
Reset the iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If you can unlock your iPhone now, tap Settings > General > About then scroll to: Version
If it still says the 7.1.1, then the update was not applied.
Use Recovery Mode. You can restore from a backup > iOS: Unable to update or restore -
We hooked my boyfriends phone to the Mac and now his phone is asking for my password and also when he posts to facebook it goes to my wall

May have grabbed some of your info. -
My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!
If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.

I changed my apple id and password online, but my iphone still has the old id and now it won't accept either the new or old password
To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.
If you are changing to a different iCloud account and need to migrate your data to this new account, when you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Then when you sign into the new account, when prompted choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. -
I bought the apple iphone 4G J-5 from Laos and now want to use it in India using the normal Airtel SIM but am not able to make calls from the phone plz. help
Is this what you have? (see above?) That's what I get when I search for iPhone 4G J-5 in Google.
If so, this is NOT an iPhone! It is NOT made or sold by Apple. You have a cheap Chinese knockoff. -
I just installed the latest software update on my iPhone this weekend (9/22/12), and now I can't get email. I've restarted and closed all my apps to no avail. I'm able to get email on my laptop, so it's not a problem with my provider. Any ideas?
Originally we were getting the error that the phone could not connect. Then, after deleting the account multiple times and re-adding it again, the error message CHANGED to having to log in to Yahoo and authorize.
When we went to Yahoo in a regular browser and logged in there was an alert telling us about connection attempts so it disabled mobile/iphone connectivity. It required that we change our password FIRST.
Then, we went in to Manage Apps and Webpages and saw that iPhone was not there but Facebook was.
After all of this went back to the phone and deleted then re-added the account again and SUCCESS!
It now also shows up on the Yahoo Manage Apps and Webpages.
Hope this helps someone else. Please consider giving me points if it does or like the post.

when I go to update my apps, it asks me to login with my daughters password and on her phone it ask her for my id & password .
Well our names pop up and it ask for the password. But when we enter them it wont work. But if an app is downloaded, the
correct name and password shows up. We both have Iphone 6 plus. She downloaded her information on my computer when she
did her first restore. Do we have to restore them all over again?Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store
Click on the Apple ID that appears and select Sign Out
