Iphone4s forgot password and find my iphone on help

My daughter has forgoten her password to an old iphone 4s. We are trying to activate for my husband to use. It has Find my iPhone on and will not go through normal channels of connecting to authorized computer until we shut that off. Help

Hi daoxmom,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.  Is your daughter using the same Apple ID that she used on her old iPhone?  She may need to go to go to the Apple ID website to reset the password for the Apple ID first. Then, she will be able to erase the iPhone and remove it from her account so that your husband can use it.

    i forgot my icloud account and password , and find my iphone is activated. is there a way to recover my icloud account?

    Do you have access to old emails or could you ask a friend to provide you information about your iCloud ID? If not, do you rember your ID for "Find My iPhone", because it could be the same ID as for iCloud. After you have obtained the information about your ID you can reset your password here: https://iforgot.apple.com

    You can NOT do so. Only the owner of the account used to lock the phone can remove it. Instructions for how to do so can be found within or linked from within the document I already linked to.
    Activation lock is an anti-theft feature designed to make the device useless to anyone other than the rightful owner.
    If your friend refuses to give your money back and can not or will not remove the activation lock, there is a fair possibility that the phone was not theirs to sell in the first place.

  • Use a family iCloud account for bookmarks and find my iPhone - iOS 7?

    Prior to upgrading to ios 7, I was able to use one icloud account as a family icloud account where I would only enable the find my iphone and bookmarks in Safari so that all of our bookmarks would by synced across all of our devices and our home family imac computer. In addition, through one login, I could use find my iphone to locate any device in our family.
    With ios7, it seems only the primary icloud account can enable bookmark syncing and find my iphone. Anyone know if there is a work around? I don't want to make the family icloud the main icloud account on each device since it will require more icloud storage space to backup everyone's devices and it will also interfere with photo stream and documents/data stored.
    Any ideas or suggestions? It was so nice to be able to sync bookmarks across all devices like that.
    Thanks
    Marco

    In order for users to disable find my iphone they would need to login into your icloud account or if they wipe youe phone clean it will still ask for your apple id and password in order to activate the phone if they restore it so either they will get stuck with a useless phone

  • 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.

  • I Phone disabledattempts to sign on because forgot password and made too many

    I Phone is disabled because I forgot password and made too many attempts to sign on. Tried to connect to I Tunes but will not connect. How do I get phone disabled?

    You must restore the iPhone with iTunes. Place the iPhone into recovery mode in order to do so.

  • Is it possible to locate iPad 4G+WiFi location if the services iCloud and Find My iPhone have not been configured.

    Hello! My IPAD 4G   Wi Fi was stolen in Kiev, 17.05.2011. Is it possible to locate its location if the services iCloud and Find My iPhone have not been configured.
    If it is possible what should I do to find it?
    I have already applied to the police. But I also heard that if you contact the company Apple, they can quickly find the iPad police. Is this true?

    No.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • I lost my iPod Touch 4th generation and I've used iCloud and Find My iPhone

    I lost my iPod Touch 4th G and I've tried using iCloud and Find My iPhone. But all it says is "Offline." Sadly it's not connected to the internet . There is also no passcode on the iPod so whoever has it can easily access to my personal information. Is there any other way to locate it without wifi?? (The answer is most likely no, but...... I still wanted to ask.)

    No
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • HT204053 I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with icloud and Find my Iphone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. What do I do?

    I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with iCloud and Find my iPhone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. How do I go about creating this account?

    I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if you create a new iCloud account with a different ID your existing ID isn't effected by this.  It will continue to work as it does now, you will just have an additional Apple ID.  If you have an earthlink email address you can continue to use it as a separate account, and it can continue to be your default account if you set it to be (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account).  If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further.
