If my password expired can i restore and get past activation lock?

I can still log into iTunes but icloud says my password has expired. I lost by backup key and i am not totaly locked out of my account. Will i still be able to restore my phone to disable the activation lock and link it to my new id?

no i was on apple support for 2 hrs trying to see if i cant recover my account but its impossable. the fourms give me this message along with icloud and along with the dev fourms.
no i did not get scammed or anything i cant log in due to loosing my backup 2 step authentication key and my phone is not trusted when i updated to 7.0.2 which is why im asking if its possable to log in during restore into the activation lock because my itunes still works and will continue to according to apple support. they cant touch your account once 2 step authentication is enabled

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Apple Configurator and getting around "Activation Lock" iOS7

Our school district has just over 5,000 ipads of which 2500 of them are students 13 and over with Apple ID's. The 13 and over students activated find my ipad app upon ipad rollout at the beginning of the year with iOS6.1.3. Now when they either lock themselves out, which happens often I used to (iOS6.1.3) be able to have iTunes or Configurator blow out the lock out and the device was usable again as all of our devices were supervised by a MacBook of that respective school. Now you can't do anything to the device due to the activation lock. Seems like with the advent of iOS7 I know have to manage my devices with a chainsaw (complete re-provision) and loss of all data for student, instead of a scalpel with 6.1.3 and a simple touch with iTunes or Configurator.
I've read some other discussions on this where I.T. departments are having to get with their H.R. departments to have employees or students sign off on a lock out policy. Ridiculous! This is a major road block for districts trying to manage large quanity's of ipads. Has anyone come up with a technical work around for this?

my son got to my new iphone before i had chance to activate it created a crappy bogus email [email protected] first name fred last name flintstone 1905 or something like this for dob password that was like 20 random digits was basically messing with the phone so i thought oh well i will restore it now its asking for apple id f*****************@i**********.com
called apple told them what has happened
sorry sir you need to contact the person who activated the apple id to login to deactivate it i explained well its impossible it was all random **** i thought you have to confirm email before its activated the tech assistant said well if this is the case and cant remember opassword then the phone will never be activated you will simply have to purchase another phone anything else i can assist you with
and im not the only one here faced with similar circumstances

Don't remember password. Can I restore and then put everything back on it from backup

My daughter forgot her iPod touch password. I was able to hook up our old computer which has the iTunes backup. If I restore her iPod can I put everything back on it after it restores?

Yes, but only if this is the computer that the Touch normally syncs with and if it was recently synced.

You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know.

Sounds like then maybe a "friend" got hold of your phone and set a SIM card password. Not much you can do if that is the case if you do not know the password except go to your carrier and request a new SIM card.

I am a newbie...and I think I did a big no-no as my Ipad isn't working. I synced it to a second computer at work which is a new Imac after already syncing to my pc at home with Itunes. Now it says it can't restore and can't get it to open. HELP!

iPad can connect only in one iTunes Library. If you want to connect it to a iTunes Library then you have to erase it. You can erase it from iTunes. Make sure you iPad doesn't have a password, or if it has a password make sure that you connect to the computer and enter the password of your iPad

I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?

Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

I forgot my password and can't get past the lock

I have a WDBBP0010BBK-01 external drive that I have for over 3 yrs. My Dell crashed recently and I did a restore.
i wanted to get some files out of the passport and I forgot my password and can't get past the lock.
Can anyone help me unlock this drive.

Hello,
Without the correct password you are not going to be able to get into the drive. I recommend you try to remember the password or you will have to erase the drive in order to use it again.

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

TS2446 I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps. I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled. I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps. Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated

I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps. I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled. I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps. Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated? TY

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
