Phone is locked because I can't remember password
I cannot turn my i-phone on because I can't remember my password. Went to the ATT store and they said to connect to Itunes.
If you can't remember the restrictions passcode, the ONLY way to remove it is to restore your phone as a "new" device in iTunes. That will erase all data on the phone, including the restrictions passcode. If you try to restore from backup, you'll merely continue to restore it, as the restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup.

Can not get into my smtp because I can not remember password.
I have never used my .mac account for mail. I have a hotmail acct that I want to continue to use but, when I want to send an e-mail from certain sites, ( like my daughter's school account), it automatically grabs my mac account of which I can not even get into because I can't remember my passcode. How can I get my mail to all come and go from only my hotmail acct.. It is so frustrating because I can not ask any questions or get responses when it goes into my mac acct.. ugh! would appreciate any help...
Various companies, including Apple, have methods to recover a forgotten password, Apple uses specific questions referring to name of your pet, your parents etc.
Note that this is the very purpose of a password, to assure protection of your data, and it is mandatory to not forget it. -

If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

How do I delete my iCloud can't remember password
HHow do I delete my icloud because I can't remember password and won't let me reset it for some reason
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?
Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

I found that suddenly the app store wasn't working on my iphone 4s. So I went to settings and tried to reset ......something, can't remember what. Now I've got an apple icon against a black background and my phone is locked. I can't do anything with it. What do I do?
What "voice thing" are you talking about? Can you retrace what you did and explain it a little more clearly so we can help you.

I am locked out of iTunes because I can't remember the answer to my security questions, and my 'rescue email' is one that I no longer have access to... Help!
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I can not back up my iphone because it is locked and I can not remember the code
I can not back up my iphone because it is locked and I can not remember the code
You're out of luck, then. Either that is not the computer it's set up to sync with, or the passcode was set AFTER the last time you synced, as Lawrence tried to explain.
You're going to lose your data. -

My iphone is locked and i can NOT remember my pasword and we really do not want to go to AT
My iphone is locked and i can not remember by password and we really do not want to go to the AT&T to reset my phone! can anyone help?
is your phone showing the connect to itunes (if it is all you can do is restore your phone in itunes)
if it does not show that you have a chance to input the password but if you try to many times it will lock out out and tell you to connect to itunes. I dont think AT&T can help you restore your phone if you are locked out -
HT201274 my phone is lock because i prees wrong password more than 10 times
My phone is lock because i prees wrong password for more than 10 times. I can open my phone what should i do?
Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons on iPhone until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware. At the end Restore from your iTunes Back-Up or use iCloud to get your data back.
