IPhone 4 Passcode reset?

My kid has secretly locked his iPhone 4 with a passcode and wont tell me, as it is linked to my iTunes and MobileMe accounts is there anyway I can force a reset or find out what 4 digit code the little tyke has used?  Also is there any parental control monitoring software I can use to skim data off the phone next time he plugs it into the mac? Thanks.

If you restore the phone from backup, on the last computer the phone synced with, this will remove the passcode. There is no software to do what you want other than what's built into restrictions in both iTunes and on the phone.

    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:

    Hi,
    Did you ever back up your phone on the computer?
    Did you use photo stream at all?
    May I suggest changing your passcode lock to a letters and numbers lock (if not all ready it will make your iphone more secure and a restore lock otion shouldent be needed). Then change your setting as well preventing restore after ten incorect passwords.

  • What is the default passcode of iphone 4 for reset all settings

    what is the default passcode of iphone 4 for reset all settings ?

    Should just be 0000, as with most things with a passcode, until you change it.

  • How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?

    How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?

    Hey Robin.T,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
    iPhone is disabled
    iPad is disabled
    iPod touch is disabled
    You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT1414 I changed my Iphone 4s passcode and for something I cannot fully understand, it seems I clicked on differente digits I cannot remember anymore.  How can I restore to the imediately previous setting without restoring it to fabric  settings?

    I HAVE CHANGED MY IPHONE 4S PASSCODE AND CANNOT ENTER IT ANYMORE. HOW CAN I RESET IT WITHOUT HAVING TO RESTORE THE IPHONE TO FABRIC SETTINGS AND LOSE ALL DATA IN IT?

    Thanks. I thought of trying it. It just happens if I do it it'll erase all data previously stored in.  I have backed up the Iphone this morning without having tried first the new settings.  So, the data stores in this computer is the new one that I may not use. It is the same I want to forget.   What if I use the backup I have restore on the other computer I have?  May I restore to that previous backup and erase this new one I have just got?

  • HT1766 I forgot my iphone "word" passcode

    Hi, I am writing to ask how I can reset or change my iphone 5c passcode; without having to restore my phone settings. My daughter suggested I set-up a password to protect my phone, however, I am unable to remember to what it is!!  I set-up the word passcode, so it would be harder for a stranger to get into my phone, but now I am the one who can't get in. Please Help!! Thank you

    Re: Forgot Password iPhone iOS7
    Oct 2, 2013 8:01 PM (in response to Ocean20)
    For the record, AFAIK, with iPhones running iOS7.0, and Activation Lock active, there are only two ways to remove a forgotten passcode: 1. Force the phone into recovery mode & restore it...any computer can be used; 2. Login to iCloud.com, from any computer, and erase the phone. Once done, the phone can be restored from backup, if a backup exists. Either method requires knowing the original Apple ID/Password, that was originally used to activate the phone.
    There is another complication I've run into: The Sim pin. There are carriers that still require sim pins. If the phone has a sim pin, you'll be stuck in a catch 22, in that you can't activate the phone without removing the sim pin, but removing requires the phone be activated. Only solution I'm aware of is to either borrow a sim without a sim pin, or get a new sim from your carrier.

  • Forgot Iphone 5c passcode

    My sister forgot her iphone 5c passcode, or so I'm told. I've been trying to reset it but so far no luck, each time I thought i successfully reset the Iphone it doesn't work and keeps asking me for the passcode. I've been read somewhere that says that it has an activation lock and you can't bypass that. So is my sisters phone a paper weight or can this be fixed. IMO if this bricks the Iphone then that's a really ****** way of making 500+ dollar devices.

    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    Find your AppleId: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
      https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    If the iPhone is asking for an AppleID and password that your sister does not know, you have indeed
    met Activation Lock. Find the receipt that proves your sister is the original purchaser of the iPad
    and have her take that receipt, government issued photo ID and the iPad to an Apple store where they
    may be able to assist her. Make an appointment first to avoid delay.
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    Where - what retailer in what country - did your sister purchase this iPhone from? What country is she in
    now? What makes you think the iPhone is Activation Locked? If there is an error message, what is the
    exact complete wording of the error message?

  • My iPhone 5 was reset by mistake now my music won't download which I'd purchased from iTunes and I tried buying another tune on iTunes , it won't download to my phone but it downloaded to my ipad3

    Hi can anyone help please, my iPhone 5 was reset by mistake and now my music will not download to it even though it was bought from iTunes, i purchased another song with my iphone5 and it won't download ether to my phone but has downloaded to my ipad3

    Try force-closing the music app on your iPad by double-tapping the home button, swiping up on the preview above the music app, then tap the home button again.  Then reset the iPad by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  When it restarts go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.  Then try downloading the songs from iCloud again.

    Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted.  Do you actually mean Restore the phone?  See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

  • I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

    i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.
