I reset my phone then my Apple ID and password wouldn't work to re set up my phone

Reset my phone then go to set it up again, I type in my Apple ID and password and it doesn't work. I go through the "forgot my id" and "forgot my password" options (even though I know my id and password are right) and they lead no where. I make a new Apple ID and password and that also didn't work.

Is this a used or second hand iPhone. When you reset the iPhone,
that action called up Activation Lock which is a new security feature in
iOS 7. You need the AppleID and passcode that was originally used to
activate the iPhone. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If there is an error message when trying to activate the iPhone, what is
the exact wording of that message?

  • My husband just got an iphone. I've had mine for a while.  We use the same email address so I though we could use the same apple id and password.  But now it appears everything on my phone also shows up on his phone and vis versa, even "Notes."  Not good.

    There is nothing you can do about but ask the seller for your money back.  Without the previous owners applid password, you cannot activate and use that device - there is no way around that.  iOS 7's Activation Lock needs to be disabled by the previous owner in order for you to use it - if they cannot (or willnot) produce the password to disable it, you have no options.
    They can disable it remotely for you - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 but not if they do not remember their own password.

  • I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he cannot use my phone without my apple id and password.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sent it.can he run up a bill using my id?cheers.

    I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he needs my id and password to use it.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sold it but wanted to know if he could run up a bill even though i no longer have an account with my phone provider?

    You did not follow the proper procedure when selling the phone before resetting it to factory settings. You must help the new owner deactivate the Activation Lock or else he will have the same issue over and over when he upgrades the software or sells it to someone else.

  • Apple ID and password no longer works on phone after upgrade of iOS6

    I can't log into the App Store on my phone now that I have upgraded to the iOS6.  Keep getting a message that says "Your Apple ID or password is incorrect." I have changed my password twice now since the upgrade but I still can't get in to buy a new app. I can however log on to the computer to the store.  But can't on my iPhone4s????

  • APPLE ID AND PASSWORD IS NOT WORKING FOR SIGNING IN

    My itunes account is not logging in due to new email... It has been verified but still will not let me log in.

    Assuming that you forgot the password then reset the PW by:

  • HT5622 apple ID and password doesn't work on my iphone.

    Hi, my iphone won't recognize my apple ID password but the ID is correct and works on my MacBook and ipad. So I'm not getting my emails or imessages to my iphone. This this just occured after doing a software update to IOS 7.0.6. What do I do?

    I'm having the same issue and I'm SO frustrated.  I can log into MyAppleID fine (as I did to make this post), but that same user/pass doesn't work with iTunes and my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 both won't update any apps.  When I try to log in to iTunes on either device the login screen just pops back up again in an endless loop, yet I go to a PC and login to my account just fine.  I've now reset my password at least 3 times, I've signed in/out and rebooted the devices countless times, and yes, I'm sure I'm entering the password correctly.  It's just driving me nuts.

  • HT1391 Same apple id and password does not work on iPhone, just on iPad.
