If You Havent Set A Password Ever, Try "0000" Since That Is Apple's Default Passcode.
If That Doesnt Work, Contact BestBuy Again And Tell Them ABout It.

I am trying to restore the last configuration I saved for my iPhone but iTune is asking for a password although I did not set any. What shall I do?
No there's not. Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

I am signed into my apple id account. When I go to update iPhoto, it asks to sign into my dad's old account in order to update. It will not let me change the apple id to mine, it only asks for the password which is impossible to get a hold of. Literally. Help?!
That would be because the licensed copy of iPhoto on your Mac belongs to your father. Only he can update the app. Was this once his Mac?

Please help! My partner has taken my old phone but we cant get it to join our wifi network a home - it wont request or prompt for the password...My iphone 4S works and joins the same network so it must be within distance to the router...we cant work it out.
Can anyone suggest what to do. We have turned on and off the router, the phone, and checked most things. It lists the locked wifi network but the message says ' Unable to join network'.
Many thanksHello cwestnutt,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone. You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue already. I found an article that includes a few additional steps you can try. You can skip any steps you have already taken.
I recommend reviewing the full article but the section titled "Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network" specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

I recently upgraded to an iphone 6 from an iphone 5. I backed up my iphone 5 to my laptop and whan i tried to restore my data to the new Iphone 6 it a password which i dont have. Is there any way to restore my data to the iphone 6 without using a password from my iphone 5?
Can you do the backup again if you still have the iP5 ?

My iPhone 5s is still asking for the password in the App Store.
I just got the iPhone 5s yesterday. I setup the fingerprint scanner wich works great aside from one thing, It always asks me for my itunes password in the App Store. I have turned on the correct setting and I have updated to iOS 7.0.1. I have restrictions turned on since my kids use the phone alot. When I turn off restrictions everything works fine. This is definitely a bug. I asume apple will address this in an update soon, but has anyone found a fix for this?
It's not a bug. If restriction is on, what do you expect?
iPhone is meant for a single user, so if restrictions is set, you cannot use Touch ID to buy. -
I am trying to restore my backup on my iphone but itunes keeps asking for a password
How can I restore my phone?
It "sounds" like you have encrypted backup selected in iTunes. Without the password, you will not be able to restore an encrypted backup.
Sorry. -
I have an Iphone 5. Email is set up on exchange. Every morning it asks for my password and then does not recognize it. I have to go into settings and retype the password in order for it to recognize it. On our other iphone it does not ask for a password. How do I fix this issue?
Have you looked at this?

Always asking for iTunes password
I have a new 3GS and often when I wake it up it will ask me for my iTunes password. I have entered it several times but it seems to keep happening.
Anyone else seeing this? Any possible fixes?
ThanksMy iPhone (O2,3G) also asks for iTunes passwords when it should not, but only when accessing the App store. It did not initially do this under 2.2.1 but developed the habit when an app update on the phone failed during installation. Installing 3.0 removed the problem but this morning I tried to update an app and although the install seemed to work (the app is now the newest version) there were errors during the install warning me that the installation could not be completed and I would have to download it via iTunes. Following that, the phone is back to asking me for my password every time I open the App store app.
Presumably there's a file somewhere on the phone that is created or touched when doing updates and not cleaned up when they are successful. If so, would there be any way to delete it without losing data? -
I bought new i phone 5 3 days back, after that asked for new update which is 6.1.4, after updating my iphone i am not able to use cellular data services. I called up data provider, they says its the problem with new software update. There is no option add APN. Now when i switch to safari its showing you are not subscribed for cellular data. But I am able to use data on other phone.
Will you please help me in this regard?
Another issue, since i bought my new iphone there is dust inside back main camera.
Your advises are highly appreciated.Hey Shaiju isac,
I'd take a look at the following article, it'll guide you though steps to you troubleshoot cellular data issues on your iPhone:

My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine. How do I get my account back? Tried plugging it into his computer again. No prompt to change account back to mine.
Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

My battery was not working properly (kept running out over a few hours.) I was advised at the apple store to restore my iphone which i did. When i try to restore it to my back up it keeps asking for a password but i have no idea what this password is? could anyone help?
If your backup is encrypted, you cannot restore without the password.
You can continue to backup but you cannot restore without password.
There's no way to retrieve the password.
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.

When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps. How do I get mine back?
Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x. You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom). If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID. Then you should be good to go.

I just bought an iPhone 4 a few weeks back. I tried to delete their icloud account, and add mine but it's asking for a password to delete it. I have no way to get in contact with them. Is there any way around it?
There's no way around it. The former owner needs to erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. No one else can help with this, including Apple.
