My iPod is asking me for a passcode, which I never set up.

I went to change the song through the menu, and it asks for a passcode.  It used to just come up with a number keybad, but now it comes up with a full keyboard. 

Is there anything I can do to fix this other than reset my whole iPod?

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

  • HT4113 My Ipad has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer only set up by my apple id, when it asked to connect to itunes i turned it off, when turning it on again it asked me for a passcode. I never set up a pascode, now I am locked

    I have just bought a new IPAD. It has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer, I tried to set it up using my APPLE ID and mobile number, it prompted me to connect to ITUNES. Unsure of what to do next, I closed it and took it to work. When I opened it one hour later it prompted me for the passcode. I never set up a passcode. I tried various combinations (my husband iphone, birthdates, kids passcodes etc) to see if somehow it had linked itself to their passcode. I called the shop I bought it from and was advised it would cost me 70 dollars to have it reset. I feel completely devastated that I haven't even been able to use the IPAD and I am already stuck. Can anyone offer some solid advice?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

  • My Ipad is disabled because it is asking me for a passcode which I never put in.

    My ipad is asking me for a passcode. I never put one in so it is disabled. My niece was playing on my ipad and may have put one in, but she doesn't remember. How do I get it off?

    If you mean you mean you need to change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?

    I fixed it!!
    While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
    To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
    Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
    Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new.

  • HT4061 My Ipad is aking for a passcode but i never set one up after upgrading ios

    I bought an ipad saturday. Sunday i upgraded to ios 7. Once completed, i turned it back on and was working fine. Late that night, I asked to put a passcode but i never set up for one. It didn't asked to put a new passcode when it was upgrading. No i can't get to the screen until i put the 4 digits code. Please help... thanks

    Hi,
    There are three things you can do.
    1) Type 0000. That is normally the standard passcode, or try 1234.
    2) Do a reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    3) Look at this - by restoring it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US

  • After updating to iOS 8.1.2 it asks for a passcode, which I never used, such that I now have an $800 paperweight!

    I recently updated to the iOS 8.1.2, but after rebooting, the iPad demands a passcode, which was never used on this iPad. I cannot bypass the passcode question. It is now an $800 paperweight. Apple support of course wants money for the obviously poor code in their update!  Currently I am trying to reset it to factory settings, losing almost everything I had on it, since it was not properly backed up. However, it seems stuck on enter passcode, even after resetting it!
    If anyone else has a solution to this, would love to hear from you. How does Apple get away with this stuff? (I dare them to be honest and post this!)
    Other ideas?
    <Edited by Host>

    Hmm, I did receive an email saying that the thread was deleted, but did not explain why for some reason. It sounds like the Level 7 guy caused this. I will call Apple tomorrow to find out who is responsible. And see if I can lodge a complaint against that user. Maybe it was because of what the Level 7 guy was saying.
    There was useful information posted in that threat that addressed the issue that I am experiencing. I will try to reiterate from the apple website, it says.
    Recovery mode
    If you've never synced your device with iTunes, or haven't set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to put your device in recovery mode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    This will erase the device and its passcode.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then "slide to power off" to turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button and plug the device into your computer. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on. Don't release the Home button.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    If iTunes doesn't open automatically, open it. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK. Then restore the device.
    If your device doesn't go into recovery mode, try steps 1–4 again.
    They suggested that I try this over again until it works. It did not work for me the first time.
