Problem about factory reset my iphone 4s

My boyfriends has very big problem after he try to download iOS 8. He forgot an Apple ID password so he tried to sign up new apple ID and found that iCould still ask about old Apple ID password. He tried to type every but it wasn't work and then it was LOCKED. Unfortunately, his old email was deleted. He can't reset his password and forget about questions for reset password in iforgot.apple.com. Eventually, iforgot.apple.com is also LOCKED. I don't know what should he do? it shows notify that "This apple id has been disabled security reasons".
Any one can you help me? Thanks for your kindness suggestion

I found in internet that factory reset can restore everything
--> I try to reset in Setting> General> reset> Erase all Content and Settings. --> it ask for passcode I type usually passcode that use for unlock screen but it's not work. I don't know why?
--> I try to use reset via iTune but it asked me to close "Find My iPhone" first. But I can't because, I don't know password for iCound .

I've factory reset my iPhone twice, about to be three times. has anyone else had issues that force them to factory reset their phones.

So I got my iPhone 6 on the day it came out and it has been the most frustrating experience I've ever had with apple. I've had to factory reset my phone twice, probably about to be three times once i get home from work. The first time was trying to transfer my stuff from my old iPhone and right after it finished my iPhone 6 turned itself off then turned on to the boot up screen (the one with the apple logo) and then shut off then did the same thing. this forced my to factory reset my new iphone literally the day i got it. The next day i was trying to upload my music and basically the same thing happened again, forcing me to reset my phone for a second time. Just now (its been two weeks that I've owned my new phone)i tried to get on twitter and the app crashed then my phone reset itself and when it loaded to the unlock screen, instead of my background it was just a black screen with the time and the unlock slide. when i unlocked it, it went back to the normal background and the main screen. Because whenever i would turn off (not power off, but put it to sleep) the phone and turn it back on it would do the same thing. I decided to restart it (actually turn it completely off and then back on) and now it will show the boot up screen then turn off. I understand that there is the solution of factory resetting my iPhone, but 3 times in 2 weeks is pretty unacceptable, seeing as i had a 4s for almost 3 years and never once had to factory reset it and its also incredibly annoying to have to redownload all of my stuff. Has anyone else had this problem? is there anyway i can keep this from continuing to happen? is it a software issue or is it the phone itself that is messing up?

WiseJD, thank you for your suggestions. Well the first two restorations were the first and second day (9/19 and 9/20) that i had my 6 and both times i chose to restore is as new. since then there haven't been any issues until now. granted the first time my phone messed up was after i used the At&t transfer app which made me think it couldve been something that corrupted my device. the second time though started with me attempting to download music from the itunes store app on the phone. for whatever reason it would download but not but it wouldnt process and install the music. Then i tried to download it from my computer and thats when the second screw up occurred. that time i dont think it was an issue of my phone being corrupted because it was already acting strangely before i ever plugged it into my computer. This third time, i'm at work so i havent been able to do anything about it, i wasnt downloading anything and my phone was not hooked up to a computer, i simply tried to open twitter and then all this happened. and it has been a solid almost two weeks without incident which makes me think its my phone and not corrupt files. also looking at forums, not just these but other online, i haven't really seen anyone with the same problem which adds to my thought that its a problem with my phone.
Just to be clear, the first time this happened, the iphone would display the boot up screen then shut off then turn on and display the boot up screen, then shut of and kept going on like that until i put my iphone into recovery mode and factory reset it. the second time the iphone would display the boot up screen and then shut off, but wouldnt turn on unless i pressed the power button again. this third time is the same story. i dont know if this makes a difference or if its symptomatic of different problems but i figured it wouldnt hurt to explain in detail the issues that happened each separate time.
Also on a side note, i havent done anything like jailbreak it, mess with it download or any third party apps not on the app store.

I factory reset my iPhone 4 that I've had for 2 years and now I have to have the volume on max to hear anything. Any help?

I had to factory reset my iPhone 4 because of memory constraints.

I wasn't "unlocking" my phone, I went into the settings and clicked the option to reset the iPhone to the way it was when it left the factory.

After I factory reset my Iphone 4s, I can't finish the step where it ask for WIFI Network, I guess it don't detect WIFI and can't connect to iTunes also. What should I do?

I can't finish the step after I factory reset my iphone 4s because I can't get thru with the CHOOSE YOUR WIFI NETWORK

If you can't see your WiFi then is your router broadcasting the SSID or do you not get to that point?

Only the former owner can remove the Find My Phone lock and erase the device. That can be done remotely. Without this the device is useless to you because it will be permanently locked.

Is it OK for someone to factory reset my iPhone w/o using iTunes and Passcode? Which is what my daughter just did a few days ago.

My daughter, who she does not know my passcode, factory reset my iPhone w/o using iTunes a few days ago and caused losing my pictures taken during our family trip. Should it be incapable of someone who does not know the passcode of my iPhone to factory reset my iPhone? Or is it a kind of error that Apple is not aware of?

It is not an error. It is the standard way of regaining access if you have forgotten the passcode.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

Can i factory reset an iphone thru itunes or icloud without having my iphone present

can i factory reset an iphone thru itunes or icloud without having my iphone present

If you set up Find My iPhone and the phone appears in iCloud.com, you can erase it, which is what I presume you are wanting to do. If you didn't set up Find My iPhone or it doesn't appear there, then there's no way to erase the phone without having it in hand.

IOS 7 upgrade problem forced factory reset

I decided to try IOS 7 on my iPad 2. That was a huge mistake! After several attempts to download, it finally completed. The Install button was finally active, so I tried to install, and it indicated that the update was not available. I tried this several times with no luck. Finally I decided to try it from the PC. I loaded iTunes and saw that there was an IOS software update available, but in order to do that I had to upgrade iTunes to 11.1. Well, the Download iTunes Update button clicks but doesn't actually do anything. I eventually wound up just going to iTunes and downloading it again. It went through the install and finally updated.
So I connected the iPad and it tried to load the IOS 7 update. In the middle of that iTunes just closed, no errors, nothing. Opening it back up, it tells me I must reset my iPad to factory settings. At this point I'm boiling, but I went ahead with it because I figured I would be able to just restore from a backup, which I fortunately created before all of this started.
Well, iTunes was able to load the IOS 7 update on the iPad, but after it restarted from the factory reset, things have once again taken a turn for the worst. Now when I connect the iPad, it tries to access iTunes store, and tells me it can't, and to check the network and try again. Everything else that I do online is working fine from the PC so I know it's not that, but I restarted anyway. No change.
So now I have an iPad 2 with IOS 7 in factory reset state, that I can't restore from backup or even get connected in iTunes. I only bought this iPad in the last month, so I supposedly have 90 days support from Apple, but every method I try to get support for it is either to send it in or take it to an Apple store. This is a nightmare. What should I do?

My iPad 3 downloaded ios7, rebooted, started to execute the installation (same as my iPhone did).
Then it got hung up half way through the execution.
Have stared at the boot screen with a bar showing half-loaded for 12 hours.
Several times tried hard reboot. Keeps getting stalled at half way.
About to turn it into a discuss and throw it into the ditch!!

Problem with factory resetting Airport Express

I am trying to do a hard factory reset my airport express. I want to reset it to the factory default so that I can change the settings so that it connects to my comcast wirless modem. I followed the instructions on the apple support site. I held the reset button will the device was unplugged and then plugged it in while still holding the reset button. I held it until the green light flashed four times. But the stupid thing will not reset at all. Just the same blinking orange light. No green light. And of course, non identifiable on airport admin utility. This is really frustrating. Anyone know how to solve this problem.
Thanks

I have the exact problem described by AKAPLG. I've tried EVERYTHING with no good result.
- My network does NOT show up in AirPort Utility (and even the old Airport Admin Utility)
- Even after hard reset I can still see the old name of my network but am still unable to join it.
- I've tried connecting directly with Ethernet to my MacBook Pro, but it is unclear what I'm supposed to do next, the manual doesn't mention this at all. When it's connected I do not see my AX in the AirPort Utility menu when I rescan.
- The "Factory Reset" described by the booklet that came with the 802.11n device is inconsistent with what I see when I try it. I get a single green blink followed by a long solid yellow (sorry Amber) followed by blinking amber. I never see 4 green blinks, as described.
This is the worst Apple experience I've ever had. Period. Any more advice please before I take this POS back to the store and trade it for a punch in the ribs or a hot stick shoved in my eye?
