I've accidentally locked my used classic and don't know the password.

Does anyone know how I can access my Ipod?
As it is used, I don't know if/what the previous password is.
Can anyone help?

Hi I am having the same problem. My ipod classic 80gb locked itself, I did a restore was in the process of resyncing all my data but the screen is still showing locked, my question is do I have to do a total resync then it will unlock? Thank you.

  • Ipad apple ID account is deactivated and don't know the password or security questions

    I have had an ipad for 12 months, my husband created an icloud account on it ([email protected]) but since then we have never used the ipad to log into apple website, itunes etc.  Recently I purchased a MAC and iphone5 and after downloading the latest itunes to then sync all 3 together the ipad then asked for apple ID and password even though it had never asked for this before.  The trouble is the ipad apple ID is an icloud one, ie. an email account that belongs to Apple, so we cannot reset the password via email as we don't have access to the email, and one of the security questions answers comes up wrong all the time.  Because we have tried several times to remember the password the apple ID is now deactivated and the only way to re-activate it is via email verification (impossible) or security questions (impossible).  We tried connecting ipad to computer and restoring factory settings, but the ipad continues to ask for apple ID and password...help... customer service Apple in Spain has more or less told us if we can't remember the security questions or password and have no recovery email (which we don't) then basically the device is useless!!!! Urm, that ipad cost a lot of money to just "throw it away".  Any advice you can give me?

    They have... but it is not what you wanted to hear. Unless you can use the Apple ID and Password that was used to Activate the Device you are out of luck.

  • HT5624 I have an expired email account linked to icloud and don't know the password and can't reset the password due to not receiving emails anymore with the email account. Any ideas on how to retrieve the songs and data?

    I have an icloud account linked to an email address that is no longer in service.  I do not have the password for the account and am trying to retrieve the songs and data from the cloud to use on new apple device.  Any way to get a new password, able to open the expired account, without having that email account active?

  • I have purchased a new macbook air today and don't know the password for it?

    I have purchased a new MacBook Air today and dont know what the passord is that was created today - in truth i discussed with the sales assistance that i didnt want one and im sure she just tabbed through that section!!!
    Im now trying to load Office:mac and of course need a password!
    Does anyone know what to do?

    have you tried just empty password (press enter without typing anything in)?
    Maybe give your man a call?
    There are ways to reset passwords, but it's probably easier to just ask the guy.

  • Password lock on LG lucid.  don't know the password, how can I get past this?

    I am sure one of my children set this password but now can not remember it..(young kids..my fault for giving free access).  Since the battery died and I had to recharge now I cant get into the phone because a PIN has been set.  I dont know the pin.  I see how if you have an unknown pattern it gives you the option to select forgot pattern but this doesnt seem to be happening with the password. 
    Can anyone help?

    The safest way is to take the phone to your local Verizon store. They have the PUK (personal unlock key) to open the phone for you. Once open, you can remove the forgotten password, or change it.

    my daughter lock her ipod and don't remember the password, how do i get to reset?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. 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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have recently bought an iMac but if I want to boot from disc it gives me a Lock screen and I don't know the password

    I Bought recently an iMac A1311 when i got it the hdd was broken... so i replaced it with a new one but now if i boot my mac up ik gives me a blinking question mark so I tried command -s on the startup but then it gives me a Lock and i dont know the password neither the reseller

    You have a firmware password reset.
    The iMac A1311 is (if I'm interpreting info correctly) an early 2009 model.   So this should work:
    Shut down the computer and remove all the RAM.
    Try booting (you won't be able to even get to the point you were at before, without RAM)
    Reinstall the RAM
    Turn on the computer and hold down the command-option-p-r key combination before the startup chime sounds.  Continue to hold them until the computer restarts on its own a second time, then release.
    The computer should now boot normally.
    If that doesn't work...then you'll need a genius bar appointment, for which you will need proof f ownership of your iMac.

    Hi my ipod touch has been locked and i dont know the password to it. What do i do because my computer says it has to be unlocked before i can do anything. So if you have an answer that would be great thanks.

  • I have restored my ipad mini and it has an activation with a email i dont use cause its fake and i dont know the password and it wont let me activate it till i sign it in how do i take it off my ipad

    i have a random email for my activation email and i dont know the password and it wont let me active it unless i sign in with that email and password how do i change it so that doesnt pop up or till it doesnt ask for it

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I don't know the password for my OLLLLDDDD iTunes AOL accounts, and thus can't play half of my music. How can I fix this?

    I recently had to get a new hard drive on my laptop and thus lost all of my music. I've had my iPod for somewhere around six years, and have amassed a lot of music during that time and gone through a couple computers (mostly because I was working up to a computer of my own...). So, if you can guess where I'm going with this, I have had at least three different iTunes accounts and I still have all of the music on an external drive. My problem is that now that I'm putting my music back on to the new hard drive, I can't play some of the songs because I don't know the password for the OLD AOL accounts. I've tried every variation of password I can think of that I would have used, but still come up with nothing. I tried calling the AOL support number and the guy said he had no idea what I was talking about and hung up on me. To make things even more confusing, iTunes seems to have created an identical account to the one I use now but as an AOL account and I have absolutely no idea what the password is. This means that half of my music/TV shows/movies are not able to be watched/listened to. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to recover my password? Or am I totally screwed?? Please help!

    Ok..
    Launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    iTunes seems to have created an identical account
    No... Apple does not "create" an account for you.

    So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

    How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
    You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password.  I feel like I'm going in circles!!!  Please help!!!

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
