Is it possible to invoke 'change password' from lock screen/siri?

I've a similar situation as in  https://discussions.apple.com/message/23875981#23875981
I set the passcode using international keyboard with 'dead key' characters. The keyboard module in the change passcode application worked correct to change my two keystrokes to one. But the lock screen's keyboard is not behaving the same and I'm locked out now. (even though I know my password!)
Is it possible to change the password while in lock screen? Or is there any other solution for this issue other than restoring the iphone?

If the passcode will not work, the only alternative is to restore the phone as new. You cannot change the passcode from the lock screen.

  • Opening camera or calculator from lock screen

    Recently I upgraded my 5S to IOS 8.3 and now faced issue when starting camera or calculator from lock screen.
    I'm pressing "home" button to activate screen and then start calculator or camera from bottom menu, but the screen goes black immediately.
    When I press "home" button again, I can see that the camera or calculator will be closed and I'm back in lock screen.
    Does anyone else have similar issue with 8.3 ?

    I currently have the exact same issue with my iPhone 5s.
    The previous update was golden and fixed every issue I had with my 5s. I have my 5s set up for Touch ID/password and I was thinking it might have something to do with that, but I haven't gotten around to testing this issue without all of that enabled.
    I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this issue...
    This update also bright back other issues that were fixed in the previous update, for me anyway.
    Is there a way for us to officially submit this issue to Apple?

  • Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

    I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
    Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through. 
    At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
    This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
    I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

    I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
    Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
    In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
    This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
    Please secure the iOS 5.
    Thanks.

  • [iOS] Add to "Your Music" from Lock Screen on iPhone

    As the new Apple Music has come out, they have introduced a "Love" button from the lock screen on iPhone- With this introduced it must be possible for developers to use that space to add a "Add to Your Music" If it is, then I would love that feature when riding my bike and don't have much time for leaving focus from the road.

  • Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Thanks. I don't know if it seems obvious to everyone, but it shouldn't be needed to double click to seet it. If anyone finds out why there isn't a week view in the Calendar native app, or a way to make it avaiable I would be thankfull. If not, I will continue using third party app for that purpose.

  • How do we change the Yosemite lock-screen background?

    How do we change the Yosemite lock-screen background?
    Would like it to match our desktop.
    At present, lock-screen appears to be a blurred version of one of the standard Yosemite desktops.

    It typically uses your Screen Saver definition in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver tab.
    Or I'm misunderstanding the question...

  • End a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?

    Is there a way to end a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?
    I frequently call into meetings from my iPhone and then lock the screen, I don't like having to unlock my phone just to go off mute or end the call..

    iPhones should not lock at all during any length call unless you're using a headset - wired or Bluetooth. In that case,  you should use the mute and end call controls on the headset.
    The only exception to this are phones that were configured by corporate security settings that force the phone to lock after a specified interval regardless if there is a call in progress.  In that case, you only option it to get your IT dept. to reconfigure this setting.

  • HT5858 Bug with control centre? - only accessible from lock screen

    I cannot access Control Center from my home screens or within apps, only from the Lock Screen - very annoying if I want to switch my music output for example or use the torch.
    My settings are on for both access from Lock Screen and Access from within Apps.
    Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

    Hello Adrian Biffen,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't access Control Center from inside apps. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Use Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you're using an app that uses similar swipe gestures, like Maps or games, you might have to swipe up twice: once to reveal the handle for Control Center, and a second time to reveal Control Center. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
