Problem removing 4 digit passcode lock (IOS 4.2.1)

When i try to turnoff my passcode lock, the phone get stuck at the second pass confirmation page.. Help.

Does it normally took this long to reset?
No, but let it sit like that for a few more minutes. If no change, force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn off your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone to turn off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. After restoring from backup, you must sync to restore your iTunes content.

  • Is there a wat to bypass a iphone 4 password lock, not the simple 4 digit passcode lock without having to resotre the iphone?

    Is there a way to bypass a iPhone 4 password lock, not the simple 4 digit pass code lock without having to restore the iPhone? My friend owns her phone but upgraded to the iPhone 5s and wants to get her baby photos and videos off the old phone.
    She can provide ownership of the device but is very worried that she cannot access the phone without a restore as she cannot remember her password for the old phone. Can she go into an Apple store and can they do something to bypass the password when she proves ownership the device to them?
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    No. They can't bypass the lock screen password. All they could do would be restore the phone, which will wipe it.

  • HT1212 how to passcode lock iOS device and not disabled after wrong passcode

    My toddler keep making phone call, so I set up the passcode, now he keep entering the wrong passcode and which disables my phone for 1 minute and then connect to itunes. What is best option for me in this case?

    I've had a toddler but she's a bit older now. We just kept things out of her reach or put away. There really isn't a technical solution unless you want to use shock therapy.
    We also used other techniques to discourage her from things we did not want her into. This included when appropriate the "No" word or diverting attention to something else. Maybe you just need to put the iPhone away when your toddler is active.

  • Remove passcode lock on broken ipod

    Hi, I'm hoping for some help. My daughter threw my ipod touch into the toilet. I dried it out and now after 2 days itunes and my computer recognise it again. However, I cannot switch it on - the screen just stays blank.
    I was hoping to at least make sure all the data is backed up on the computer. Itunes tells me that the ipod requires backup files to be encrypted and asks for me to set a password. When I do this it tells me though that I need to enter my passcode first on the ipod. As I can't start the ipod I can't do that so I am stuck.
    Is there any way of removing the passcode lock without being able to switch the ipod on? I tried resetting and nothing happens.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Then you can't backup the iPod. A data recovery cmpany MAY be able to help.

  • HT1212 I took the passcode lock off of my iPhone 5 and now I can't get on to my iPad. It is asking for the passcode and when I use the one that was set up it locks me out. How can I get past this?

    I have the iPhone 5 and with the new sofware update it added a passcode lock. Same for the iPad. I removed the passcode lock from my iPhone and now I can access my iPad. It is still asking for the four digit passcode. I tried using the one that was orgingally programed and it disables it every time. How can I get past this? I have tried to do a restore and it still takes me back to the lock screen. Please help!

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • How to set passcode lock expirey date

    Hello,
    I am having problems with the "passcode lock" on my iphone 4S that it only lasts 24 hours before it needs resetting. In the "passcode lock" function in General Settings I cannot select either "Turn passcode off" or "Erase Data" The Exchange account associated with the phone has no password limitation set, does anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks

    I found an answer, as I had the same issue.  And of course, like many things Apple, it's fairly simple.
    The issue arises when you have Touch ID enabled.  Once you disable Touch ID, you will then have choices of longer periods before a passcode is required.  Of course then you don't have Touch ID, but mine rarely works anyway.  My skin is too dry and it fails constantly.
    There is a good explanation here: http://danstillman.com/2013/09/30/touch-id-and-require-passcode-immediately

  • Exchange Server password is using "Passcode Lock" on my Itouch.

    Exchange Server/Outlook 2007 work great! Except... Now I have to enter a password just to access my Ipod. Exchange took over the "Passcode Lock" & I can't turn it off. Why not just password the email account? Ggrrrr...

    Hi Brenda,
    The Exchange administrator can setup a Passcode Policy, which requires the iPhone have a passcode lock. The only way to remove that passcode lock is to have the Exchange administrator remove it or remove the Exchange account from the iPhone.
    If you are the Exchange administrator, you can read more about the Passcode Policy here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen w/iOS 7.0.2 - Delayed 'Passcode' Lock Entry Issue

    Hi,
    This evening I've updated my iPod Touch 5th Gen from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0.2 via the 'Over the Air' method, which went well initialy.
    Following using the device, upgrading all of the apps and performing a couple of backups to iCloud, I have noticed that there is an issue with entering of the 'Passcode Lock' code to unlock the device.  There is a 25 to 30 second delay in me pressing a digit key on the 'Unlock' screen and the screen registering that I've entered a key.  Has anyone else experienced this?
    I assume that this is an issue brought about due to the security fix that has been implemented within the iOS 7.0.2 update.  I am about to submit a Bug Report to Apple regarding this.
    At present, I have upgrading both of my iPhone 4S and the iPad 3rd Gen devices to iOS 7.0 and they experience no issues at all - working fine.  I guess I will hold off upgrading these two devices at the moment.

    I've been playing with the iPod, namely attempting to type text - all applications are affected.  I hadn't been typing text when I was playing with it.  I think the keyboard libraries have been corrupted.
    I have updated tge Bug Report and will plan to wipe and restore device using iTunes 11.1.  If this is successfull, will use the same approach for the other devices.

  • Ios 8.02 passcode lock

    In past editions of the ios, there were different time intervals that could be set before having to reenter the passcode.  With the fingerprint scanner, it's not terribly difficult to bypass the passcode, however this must be done every time the phone is woke up.  Looking under Settings/TouchID & Passcode/Require Passcode I see the only option is "immediately".  Can't uncheck it and there are no additional time intervals available.  Basically, the only options are to disable the passcode lock or to have it require a code every time I access the phone.  Anybody else having this problem?

    That is how it is designed and that is how it was in iOS 7 with an iPhone 5s with Touch ID enabled.
    I guess I am used to it and it doesn't bother me; I'm in the habit of waking the phone by pressing the Home button and then releasing it while leaving my finger on the button and that isn't an issue for me and doesn't seem to me like it takes any longer than any other way of waking the phone. There have been many previous discussions (ever since the 5s was released) by others that view it as a problem however. You can provide feedback directly to Apple at: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • If i get a passcode on ios 7 will it lock my ipod if my brother tries many times?

    I have a little brother and I want to add a passcode lock to my iPod which as iOS 7 and I am afraid that if my little brother tries to get into my iPod he will try many times to get into my iPod and he will fail and he will lock my iPod forever to my question is if he tries many times will he lock my iPod forever

    I do not believe this is accurate for iOS 7 where there are additional security provisions.  The process is more complicated and involves logging on to iCloud and removing your iPod from the Find My iPhone list.  (others will give you better directions).  In any case, be sure that Find My iPhone is turn on in your iCloud settings.  Otherwise you will not be able to do what is necessary.

  • Can I prohibit students from setting a Passcode Lock in Apple Configurator with iOS 7?

    I manage 120 iPads at a high school and am running into an issue with the iOS 7 update.  Students now have the ability to go into settings and set a Passcode Lock which will be a hassle once they realize this.  Does anyone know if Configurator has the ability to prohibit students from having the ability to set this?  They also have the ability to set restrictions codes but I'm assuming I'll have to go into every iPad and set this myself to cut that off before it becomes a problem.  I just can't find a way to do this for the screen lock code.

    Sorry, but there still seems to be no way to block someone from setting a screenlock passcode.
    Regards.
