    PLEASE someone help Im locked out of my iphone 4 the password is not the one i thought so can i byepass the passcode with out restore

    1. Start iTunes on your computer (be sure it's up to date).
    2. Plug cable into USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
    3. Connect cable to phone.
    4. Press both home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

  • Locked out of my iphone, please help

    So I plugged my daughters iPhone into my iMac and restored my iPhones backup by mistake. The backup that was restored is very old and I have no idea what the passcode is. When I try to restore one of my daughter's backups i receive a message "Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone." Obviously I can't access the phone to disable find my phone so i logged into icloud.com but the only device in there is my existing phone. So I am in the situation where I cannot turn off find my phone for my daughters phone and are locked out without being able to restore.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

  • Locked out of my iPhone 4 but iTunes won't let me restore it. Help!

    I'm locked out of my iPhone 4 but when I try to connect it to iTunes to unlock and restore it, iTunes is requiring me to enter my passcode on my phone, which the phone won't let me do because I'm locked out. Help please!?

    You need to restore using the computer you previouisly synced with, otherwise you'll be asked for the passcode.
    You didn't forget your passcode (that you use every day) AND lose the computer you sync with on the same day, right?  In that case, get the passcode from the phone's actual owner, or use recovery mode.

    I am locked out of my iphone. In resetting my passcode I must have hit a wrong digit, because the 4 digits I thought I used Don't work (and of course not my old passcode). I have tried the instructions both for "if you have previously synced your device with iTunes" and "If you have Never synced your device with iTunes" . Neither has worked and I'm in a vicious circle with each time after lengthy downloads it still all ends with the program, & my phone, asking for my passcode to proceed.  I'm not sure if I have ever synced to my mac book (i may have) but my address book seems to automatically update on both devices without the need to plug in. Thank you for any knowledgable help that could efficiently get me  out of this passcode ****!

    Hi DRussell,
    If you have not sync'd your device to your Mac then you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. Read the information in this link and follow the instructions to recover the phone:

    Hey there byambar,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re describing two issues, the first issue is related to the Zoom accessibility feature and the second issue is related to the device being disabled.
    Take a look at the article linked below to learn more about Zoom and the other accessibility features on your iPhone 5.

  • I was recently locked out from my iPhone.

    I was recently locked out from my iPhone. I dont want to wipe it totally though. Help?

    The only methods are described in the this article.  Your data will be erased, but if you backed up your phone to either iCloud or iTunes, you can then restore the backup with your data.

  • I got locked out of my iphone and it says i had to connect to itunes but how do i fix it now

    i got locked out of my iphone and it said i had to come to itunes to fix this and now i cant figure out how to reenable my iphone can anybody help me?

    Start iTunes on the computer you used to setup/backup the iPhone, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end to the iPhone.  That will put you in recovery mode and iTunes should see the iPhone.  Then proceed to restore from backup as that will remove the passcode and allow you to access the iPhone.

    I am locked out of my Iphone. It says to log into my itunes to unlock. I log into my itunes and it says to put my password into my phone but I can't it just goes to the emergency call, How do I unlock my phone?

    Place the iPhone into Recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes which is required anyway in this situation.

  • I am locked out of my ipod touch help

    Hey guys i need help i am locked out of my ipod and i cant remeber my password can you please help me

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • Is there a way to find out if someone was locked out of my iphone due to multiple incorrect password entries?

    Yesterday, I lost my iphone and searched for hours. I found it in the middle of the highway (I'm lucky that I found it and I am lucky that all it suffered was a broken screen). I wanted to find out if someone had tried to access my phone and could not figure out the password. At this point, it is just a curiousity thing. I thought maybe there was a way to find out if my iphone had been locked due to multiple incorrect password entries. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    There is a way.  You can download iPhone Configuration Utility http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1465 and from there, when you connect your iPhone to your Mac / PC, you will be able to view the logs.
    I've just connected mine and tested by keying in the wrong code a couple of times, this shows up in the log:
    Desc   : Wrong passcode.
    US Desc: Wrong passcode.
    Domain : MCPasscodeErrorDomain
    Code   : 5011
    Type   : MCFatalError
    Along with other things.  So this may be something you could check to see how many times someone has tried to access your device.

  • I am locked out of my iphone 5 after upgrading to ios7

    I have upgraded my iphone 5 to ios7 and have been locked out. Can someone advise on how to unlock this. I have icloud back up.

    iOS 7 prompts you to create a passcode after updating. You can skip this step but the option is not prominently displayed. It would have looked like this:
    If you can not remember what you entered then you will need to follow the instructions in the link I initially posted.
