IPhone passcode based on geolocation

It is annoying waking up in the middle of the night, wanting to check your mail or messages on your iphone with your eyes half closed and you're trying to put in your passcode when unlocking.
When im at home i don't want to have to unlock my phone everytime i check it or unlock it after a 5 minute break.
Apple should include in their next update, an integration of the passcode with the geolocation services. Here is how it works:
You would apply settings in your PASSCODE options.
Link a WIFI network/ Geolocation area so that everytime you are within that wifi network or within a 200m radius from a certain geolocation point, then your iphone will NOT ask for a passcode when unlocking. But when you stray outside of it, it will automatically acivate the passcode, that way you can feel confident that your iphone has the passcode when leaving the safety of your home, and you won't have to bother typing in the code everytime you're at home.
It is just plain annoying having to activate PASSCODES when leaving the house, and i always forget since it hasnt been a habit to me yet, i've disabled it because at home i don't want to type it in all the time.

Nice,
Didnt know about that. Well i think that the reason Apple didn't put profiles, is to be different from other phones, and really you only need the 2 that are provided, which is Loud, and Silent. Keeping it simple, one of Apple's major goals with all their innovations and products.
But, i did see a review of a GPS that came out not long ago that could be locked and to unlock it you place a pin, but if you forgot the pin, you simply go back to the home-waypoint, so the house's driveway, and it will unlock like that. So ya, i guess there are already a number of location-based-services out there that are usefull.
But you ya, i just really wish they implemented my idea in my first post.

    I have forgot my Iphone passcode. Itunes will not let me restore it, i do not have icloude,or find my iphone,and the closest itunes store is 4 hours away how can i unlock, or reset my phone?

    Try this:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Forgot My iPhone Passcode

    Dears,
    I Forgot My iPhone Passcode. What Can I Do?
    unfortunately , I never connected to iTunes once we bought it and did not open icloud also.
    please provide us the best and quick solution because it has all my import info and photo .
    Details :
    Apple : iPhone 4s
    my user on this phone : [email protected] (I have 3 iPhone and 1 iPad on this user )
    I appreciate your quick reply
    Regards,

    Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    That's the only way to remove the passcode if you can't remember it.

  • Why i cannot reset my iphone passcode

    i forgot my iphone passcode.
    No backup was made earlier to a computer or to icloud.
    Why i cannot reset the passcode by connecting the iphone to a computer since i have an apple id?
    Why I can't use my apple id to reset the passcode without deleting all my information?!?!?!?
    Thanks in advance

    if i know the apple id, i should be able to reset my passcode from a computer without deleting any of the information even if i didn't backup my phone.
    if not i can reset the passcode and lose all information.

    You can't. You'll need to restore the phone from backup pn the last computer the phone synced with. This will remove the passcode.

  • How can i unlock my iphones passcode without restoring

    I recently updated my iphones passcode from the 4 digit option to longer digits, only i used the Bulgarian lettering, and now my phone wont accept my passcode. I could easily go to my itouch and erase my phone remotely through find my iphone app, but what im really really stressing over is a way to unlock my iphone without restoring (Ive never backed up so id lose all my notes most contacts game and app data ect ect ect)
    I currently do not have cellular data so i cant accept a call, to get to settings and remove it from there.
    If there's anyway i can go about doing this please let me know, your suggestions are highly appreciated

    Apple can do nothing at all.
    You must restore your ipod.
    If you are unable then you will have to put it in recovery mode.
    You can redownload itunes purchaes
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You should be syncing regularly as the ipod is designed.

  • Iphone passcode lock - automatic?

    Hello. I am told by a (non-techie) friend that I can set my iphone passcode lock to automatically force me to change the passcode on a regular basis; he claims his is set to do this, however, he cannot "show" me how-to steps. I cannot find anything relating to this in the manual or on this site. Is there a setting that will force me to change my passcode on some schedule? thanks to anyone that can educate me!

    Why would you change your passcode every week or so?
    Just keep it to one passcode and keep it that way.
    No one can access your computer through the internet or your Cellular network.
    It's not like a computer.
