Phone locked itself, how to unlock?

Got up this morning, my phone said it was locked and now all I have is a screen with a picture of a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation point through it.

Let's get your device back in working mode! You can perform an "Alternate" hard reset http://vz.to/1eVt3Ll of the device to restore it to it's original working state. Hopefully, your data was previously backed up by your Google account and/or your Backup Assistant account. Once you reactivate the device, you can sign in with Google and Backup Assistant to restore your data. Let me know how this works out for you. Thanks!

You'll have to wipe it out and restore from backup to recover, that'll reset the code but you'll lose any data since your last sync.

Right click the hard drive icon and select Get Info. In the new pane, on the bottom, do this:
1. click the padlock, and authenticate with your password.
2. change Privilege to Read & Write - just click what is there and options will appear.
3. close the pane.

You must have a valid form of payment for the app store in the country you are using. Most app stores are separate legal entities to comply with local laws. It is possible to have an account without a credit card, however; see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

If there is no SIM card, insert one from the carrier to whom the device is locked.
As for unlocking the device, only the carrier to whom it is locked can unlock it.

iPhones sold in Saudi Arabia don't have FaceTime due to restrictions by that country's government, and there is no way to install it, including via iOS updates (it's blocked by the device's serial number). You could download the Skype app as an alternative.

Touchpad randomly locks itself and wont unlock on Satellite P50-A

Don't know if anyone can help me out but i recently bought a P50-A laptop and i am having issues with the touch-pad.
Basically what is happening is that every now and then my touch-pad randomly locks itself and then wont allow me to unlock and will unlock once I have reset the laptop.
I have checked the drivers and everything appears to be working fine and there appears to be no hardware conflicts.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Please check this Toshiba document about available touchpad settings under Windows 8
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD3101Z30000R01.htm
I recommend disabling or changing the PalmCheck settings within the touchpad pointing area.
Greets and feedback would be appreciated.

Locked photos - how find, unlock

Hello,
Using iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) under Lion 10.7.2.
Am encountering problems with "locked" jpg files -- for example, I have one event that shows 90 images and I go to merge another that has 12 images -- I would expect to have 102 in the merged event, but end up with 300 -- the excessive 198 have only an icon, not a thumbnail -- I can click on them to display, and see them, but they're older images I intended be trashed. I have found older discussions pre-Lion pre-iPhoto 11 but thought I would repost the questions:
How do I find all these locked photos?
How do I "unlock" them? Am really unclear about this; please be explicit.
How do I permanently get rid of them, forever gone, not to come back and haunt me from one trash or the other? (OK, I'm a little frustrated; bear with, please...)
Thanks, in advance
PS -- additional variables include using 5 different Sony cameras, all of which start numbering images from scratch with DSC00001 (grrr....), Also having Aperture installed (no similar problems there)...

Hello, Terence,
Thanks again for responding.
For description, let's call these locked files "ghosts."
Are they Trashed? -- yes, I thought so -- sort of.
The Size: 10,000+ images in iPhoto library. 30,000+ in external hd (see below)
The Timing -- this seems to be all post install of Lion. I received a "You must update your iPhoto database" message subsequent to upgrading to 10.7.2 and clicked yes -- this problem has appeared since then, also.
The workflow --
    1.      jpgs are loaded from camera or old storage into a folder based filing system on an external harddrive (actually, many are still remnants of MS days, 6 years ago).
     2.     As desired, jpgs are drag & dropped into iPhoto....and then re-classified into narrative description Events (rather than date based). Most are then kept in iPhoto but not deleted from external harddrive.
     3.     Often times, when doing projects (including CDs to snailmail to others), jpgs are dragged from iPhoto to Desktop, and then burned from there.
     4.     The ghosts have all either
               a)     previously been trashed in iPhoto, and iPhoto's trash has been emptied, OR
               b)     drug from Desktop to normal Trash and it also has been emptied, AND
               C)     oftentimes both, but perhaps not always.
     5.     A Spotlight search for the ghosts discloses that (for many of them, but I haven't checked all 198) jpg files with the same camera based name (DSC000XX) can still be found on the external harddrive (yes, I would like to keep them there).
So, "Sort of" means "yes, trashed in iPhoto, yes, trashed from Desktop, but not trashed from external drive."
Continuing Questions
    1.     How does a jpg get "locked?" (Is this new to Lion? I've never seen before.)
     2.     Database repairs -- first, the only convenient backup for the iPhoto database is Time Machine (I don't have any more external hds with adequate space....I could be convinced to acquire another before Repairing). Does the "Backup App" still function?
     I am nervous about the future steps -- while I'm certain the original jpg images are on the external hd, I do not relish having to re-organize/re-catagorize in events the existing iPhoto library of 10,000+ images.
     Thanks for your thoughts.

Unlock?
You forgot your passcode? Restore your iphone
Carrier unlock? ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can do that. Contact that carrier and see if they offer this service and if you qualify

Lock Entries - How to unlock

Hi Gurus,
I have an ID locking the Interactive Planning --> Demand Planning Area, this is not showing up in SM12,
but showing up from the menu --> Edit --> Lock Entries.
What do I do to unlock these?
Thanks
JS

Hello all,
Thanks for your time and response. But there has been an abrupt shutdown of the system, and there is nothing in SM04, SM12, SM66 SM50 running as suggested by all of you. And the locked planning areas are getting unlocked after certain period of time. This is a recurring problem happening to Planning areas.
I am trying to see if I have to patch my system, this is new dev installation SAP SCM version 5.1
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
JS

Phone locks automatically - how can I stop that?

I just gave my blackberry a password. Now it locks automatically if I don't use it for a certain amount of time. How can I change the settings so it doesn't lock automatically? I've gone through the manual a few times and I don't see anything in there to explain how to do this.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Go to options security and set the Security timeout for 1 hour, that's the max.
If that isn't long enough remove the password. It's a designed security feature.
Thanks,

Photoshop lock layer; how to unlock?

one layer in a photoshop document has a padlock on it; no clue how it got there. I can't make it go away; perhaps the method is different in CS6 than in previous versions...
Any clue about this? I can't fill a selection on this particular layer...don't know why. The layer in question IS selected, and the selection is active, etc.
w

Admittedly the transparent lock is rarely seen, but notice your little brush icon is now active. You've partially locked the layer (specifically, you've locked the image pixels). Just click that brush icon and you should be in business.
See this page for what the various lock icons do.

Time machine locked out - how do unlock it?

I seem to have gotten into a situation where my control of Time Machine has been locked out.
Is there a way to manage this setting via a terminal command?

I ran an experiment. I forced TM to execute a backup with the ON/OFF switch in the Off position. My conclusion is that affects only the automatic backups. (it still should operate)
Do the 'Select disk..." and the 'Options...' work?
I'm grasping at straws, but Update you OS to 10.6.8.. Lets see if that is the cure?
Ciao.
