  • Seriously Screwed All Bcus a Screen Lock Code

    I changed my screen lock code and went to change it but realised i had forgotten it. Went down to the computer to find what to do and it said restore. Thats all fine and good so i updated my itunes like it said but now the USB port wont recognise my iPod for me to restore it..What do i do?

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    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.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Changing Screen Lock Code

    Having bought a used 5th Gen iPod from a store I discover that it already has a screen lock code set. Neither myself nor the store know what the existing code is for me to enter and thereby change the code.
    Is there a way around this? Does a full restore also restore the code to factory settings so I can start anew?

    Thank you, I did a restore anyway to solve other problems, but as it is still reloading the iTunes library I have yet to discover what happened to that code.

  • How to cancel screen lock code ?

    I creat the screen when I set the email with exchange mode
    but how to cancel the lock code after I delete this email account
    Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    When slected off, did it prompt you for a password/pin to confirm?  Try this:
    1.  Turn it off.
    2.  Close the card and dont do anything else.
    3.  Immediately shut down the phone, hold down power button for the option.
    4.  Turn it back on.
    Does turning screen off and on promp password again still?  If so, the next step will be to partial erase the device by going into device info and tap reset options.

  • Can I reset my screen lock password?

    My phone's password was locked up.  Is there a way I can reset the password without losing everything?

        missmissy452, I've been here, myself, so I know how disheartening it can be when forgetting the lock code/ assword on your phone. With the iPhone 4, there are no options to recover your password outside of fully restoring the device. The good news is that you can recover your phone based on the latest backup performed using iTunes or iCloud services. Here are the steps to restore your device http://bit.ly/11AZsoZ.

  • Resetting E61 without lock code

    hi
    i desperatelz need to reset mz E61 to its factory defaults....since it takes around 45 seconds now to send an sms :/
    i tried the restore to factory default option but my phone requires me to type in a code, which i cant remember, is there another way to reset the phone ?
    thanks

    Hey,I dont think resetting to default factory setting wont let yr phone to send SMS faster.For this,go to the support section of this site,choose yr phone and download SMS accelator.
    For factory settings' default lock code is:12345.
    But if y previously set a lock code and now cant remember that,that is another story.
    Sw upgrade is another factor.Y can upgrade phone's SW by NSC.

  • I don't know my screen lock code!!

    Hello. I am totally new to iPod. So I hardly know what to do. I was fooling around with my iPod one day,then I accidentally screen locked my iPod. It began to vibrate a little after I locked it,but when I turned my iPod off and on again,the screen lock was on!! How do I figure out my code?

    Try this, connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
    If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

  • Set a second screen lock code for parents

    Can I set a second lock code to use on the lock screen to access my childs phone?

    There isn't a way to do that. With the phones that have Touch ID you could add a second fingerprint which would allow access (except that a passcode is still required when restarting).

  • Reset Nokia 6300 lock code

    i forgot my nokia 6300 lock code.
    I even dont know how to get my phone IMEI Code
     pls help me to break the code

    The default code is 12345, unless you changed this and have forgotten it. This means you will have to visit a local Nokia Care point to get your phone unlocked.
    You can get your IMEI code by checking the abck of yoru phone under the battery and on the box the phone came in.
