My ipod is completely locked out ..help

my ipod is locked out, please help

What do you mean "locked out"?
You forgot your password?  Do as the manual says and restore. If you are unable to restore then type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help articles.

  • My ipod is completely locked out. My passcode has a t in it, but for some reason it won't let me press t. Can someone tell me how to reset it without losing everything? Or is there another way..

    Please can someone help me fix this? Has anyone else had this problem?

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • Need help getting registered on my verizon .I could not complete .Locked out

    I recently purchased a device from verizon and tried to register for my verizon on my phone and online .I entered the wrong code too many times and it locked me out before I could finish registering . I called customer support and after waiting for 45 minutes and talking to someone .They told me they could not unlock my account because I was not registered yet . Well no. I am not registered yet. Because it will not let me .I AM LOCKED OUT . They then transferred me to technical support and after waiting for another fifteen minutes I hung up .This is ridiculous if I cannot utilize the programs on my phone or access account info online I am missing out on features I want and need .I was in the process of buying phones for two other family members before this happened and now we might just go back to straight talk .Can someone please help ? Thank you

    Yea ,a chat specialist got me in !!! I recommend that if anyone else experiences this issue you talk to someone on chat rather then calling the phone number they provide .I am very grateful .Thank you daphne

  • My g3 using mac os 8.6 is completely locked out HELPPPPPPP

    i'm using mac os 8.6, when i start up the machine, the start up screen goes to a normal start up screen but theres a little lock that shows up in the bottom left hand corner, and it locks, and the screen goes blank... then it goes to another startup screen and boots normally..... but has soon as i get onto the computer everything is locked out, i can't access anything......................... this computer was formally from my school, and i know the password, but i dont know the key sequence to press when i boot up the computer to unlock the system, i was wondering if anyone could help with this
    thanks

    Adam,
    Welcome to the discussions. The first thing to do with a G3 is to add a second drive. An external drive will allow for formatting several computers or an internal for now to give you options. Ask the school to give up the system install disk that came with the computer. They just toss them in a cupboard somewhere and forget about them.
    A second drive will allow you to back up files and make a clean installation of your system. Give your computer a clean start and have fun with it. System installs on a Mac are not painful like on PCs. Go online and purchase a new install CD for OS 9.1 or better and try that out.
    Enyoy your new toy.

  • Possable Connection Lock Out, Help

    Hi recently My main PC died on me, annoying yes as I do not have the money for repairs, currently I am using one of two old redundant spare computers.
    This one is is a Parckard Bell with an intergrated Graphics Card, as I use mu PC for games that is a bit of a problem, my other one however would be able to run my chosen game, (Star Trek Online)
    And now comes the problem, the other PC is an old one, i only stopped using it because it had been internet locked for Internet Spam based Virus, virus i was unsucsesful in removing hence its Internet Locked status.
    Time passed and here we are, im sure the reason for this cry for help is becoming clear.
    After talking to an american friend of mine, he sugested calling my ISP and telling them about the Lock Out, he had said they shoud be able to unlock said computer and as time had passed.
    Removing the pesky virus should be much easier, most up to date Anti Virus programs should be able to clear anything from back in the early 2000.
    Now my problem is not exactly knowing who to call, or what can be done, any help getting my PC unlocked and healthy would be greatly apreciated.
    With Thanks
    Mathew Berry

    The only way an ISP could recognise a computer is by its IP address but this is usually hidden behind the router firewall. So all the ISP can usually see is your routers IP address or rather they know the ip address issued to you. So they could only really ban you of their network not an individual computer. Unless they somehow hacked into your router to stop it connecting to the infected pc (very doubtfull). If I were you I would format the pc and install your programs again, to get rid of the virus. Then have a go at connecting to your router. No way I can see that it will be banned.

  • I am trying to reinstall an admin password and got completely locked out. I can't get past the first log in

    I am trying to reset my admin password.  I think my computer was tampered with. I signed out completely and now, I am locked out.  I can't get past a black screen. I'm unsure of my operating system but I've had laptop about 2 years.

    If you boot from your install DVD and, after choosing language, go up to the Apple bar and select utilities, you can restore you admin and firmware psswds. You will these options there. Do not choose a firmware psswd if you do not need this, you may complicate your life, especially if you forget it.
    I do not understand how you changed the psswd and why you cannot log in, though. Did you forget the new psswd or why? What do you mean by ‘was tampered with’?

  • W500 ex-corperate model locked out - Help Help Help?

    Hi there. I have ex-corperate W500. The screen broke and because of the laptops age, my work scrapped the PC, which was given to me. I have removed the screen.
    I have tried to start the machine using a external monitor. But the pc has locked me out. Showing a black screen and two logo's which include a pc and a lock sign:
    I have tried starting the PC and pressing the thinkpad blue button, the F1, F2, F8, F12 keys and it goes to this locked out setting every time.
    Is it possible to unlock this PC and what is needed?
    New motherboard?
    New harddrive?
    New CPU?

    I think any of them would work. W500 came with 512MB RAM ATI/Intel switchable graphs. The hardware maintenance manual (HMM) from Lenovo lists the following FRU numbers:
    42W8132
    42W7981 
    42W8106
    42W8133
    42W8134
    If you don't need the power of ATI you could go for a T500 motherboard with Intel graphs, they're cooler and a little less prone to failure like the switchable models. FRU numbers are:
    42W7978
    42W8104
    42W8129
    42W8130
    HMM can be downloaded from here: click me!

  • Completely locked out of my 2 Firewire Drives Please Help

    Hi
    Both my drives have this infamous lock icon on them, as a result of me applying permissions to the contents of the various system related folders.
    I have tried running these
    sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/"MOVIES STORAGE BACKUP"
    sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"MOVIES STORAGE BACKUP"
    This is what i got:-
    sudo: /private/etc/sudoers is mode 0600, should be 0440
    I got the same result after doing both the commands.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, Thanks Very much for the reply.
    I got into this situation by applying a permission change to the whole of the Macbook folder, i dont really know what you would call it but the one containing all the system, library and other system files. Here is the result i got
    james-pipers-macbook:~ cablemaster$ ls -aldeO /etc/sudoers

  • Hi, I tried installing the new software update to my iPod touch this morning, got an error message that I could not finish installing it, and now my iPod is completely unresponsive, please help? It won't respond when I plug it into iTunes or anything.

    Hi, thank you for helping me! Every time I plug it into the USB port of my computer, there is an image on my iPod touch that shows a USB cord and tells me to plug it into iTunes, but it is completely unresponsive. I have tried holding the home and power buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds, and that does not do anything either. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

    Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
    Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
    Next try DFU mode.
