Passcode for iphone 4

I have looked and looked for ways to set a passcode for my iphone but I can't seem to find out how.  Things that I have found has said go to Settings > General> Passcode  but whenever I got to settings and general there is no passcode option!  Am I missing something?

if you go to settings--general-- in the middle there should be a passcode lock..click that..turn password on..and there ya go

  • Forgot passcode for iphone that I just bought have not set up an account with yet, how do I recover?

    I just bought a used iphone 4, it has no account or data plan associated with it, so it has no owner, my problem is that I accidentally set a passcode for the phone that I do not know, how do I reset the phone WITHOUT itunes so I can access my phone again? Currently it will not lock me out unless I don't wake it up in 4 hours, I have it in the settings to require a passcode every four hours, can I take it to AT&T and set up my data plan and account on the phone as long as it doesn't lock the screen? And from there can I reset the passcode in itunes? This is urgent so please help if you can, thank you

    Not sure I understand your post as first part says without iTunes and next to last sentence says in iTunes. Either way, iTunes is going to be involved. The following should help: If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

  • What is the factory set passcode for iPhone 4s?

    Hi Everyone. As far as I know, I have never set a passcode on my iPhone 4s.
    I do have a passcode for when my phone goes to sleep, but when I go to Settings/General/Restrictions, my passcode does not work. I always get the Try Again in 60 Minutes message.
    Any hints?
    Is there a factory preset passcode that I need to know about?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no factory set passcode.
    The restrictions code can be different than the home screen passcode.
    If you forgot the restrictions code per iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) you will need to perform a factory restore: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    If you forget the home screen passcode: iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

  • How will i retrieve forgotten Restriction passcode for iphone 4

    Help! Been trying to recall my restriction passcode in iphone 4& ipad 2 (ios5) and couldnt retrieve it. Had 15 attempst ans still failed it. Any way i can restore in? Pls. Thanks.

    You'll have to restore the iPhone to its factory default settings. Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone from Devices list, click Restore. Everything on your iPhone will be erased. Anything in iTunes can be synced back over once the restore is done.

  • Passcode for iphone

    I have just acquired a new computer, I now have an imac instead of a PC. It is a used imac which used to belong to a family member. I am in the process of trying to sync my iphone with the imac and itunes on the imac tells me this:
    "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes"
    The iPhone does not ask for a code. I have a code which I use to unlock the phone part after the battery has completely discharged and then recharged but I have a feeling that that is not the correct code.
    Could you tell me what this code is or where I can find out about it, how I enter it and anything else you think I need to know to get my iphone syncing with this imac.
    Thankyou.

    well, i just followed some instructions from internet, push both buttons till close and then connect with itune and then pressed recover and start making software update.
    now need 5' more to finish (updating for almost 2hours).
    but still asking for pass code if i unlock device.

    Also when I am trying to connect ipad to my windows PC, it shows, your software is up to date and later starts restoring while updating again. Then automatically it stops to update halfway and I have to repeat the process again and again, still in vain.

  • Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it.

    Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?

    Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.
