Screen locked and dont know password

My screen locked and i have never set up password.  Now i cant get my ipod to work without password.

If all of the content of your iPod is still on your computer in iTunes, you can restore the iPod in iTunes and it will erase all of the content and restore all the factory settings (including the password). Once this is done, you can sync all the content back on. If some of what's on your iPod is no longer on your computer, you will need to find that content (add from your own CDs or download songs from the iTunes store) if you still want it.

  • Ipod is locked and dont know password

    a three year old some how locked her sisters ipod. i have no clue what to do so please someone help me.

    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

    my iphone is in icloud lock and dont know the pasword and id help me .

    There is no solution for Activation Lock if you don't know the Apple ID/Password that was used to originally activate the phone.
    Without that info, you won't be able to re-activate the phone or use it, & Apple can't/won't help you. You can try recovering the ID here:

  • Can't reset my systeem admin account and all startpunt options respons with a grey screen, lock and line for password

    i bought a 2nd hand iMac 21'5, 2010. First I installed Mavericks and entered a password which I forgot, and did not activate my appleid at that time.
    when trying to install a new bought program, I had to enter the sys adm acoount password which I had forgotten.
    TRied the options found on internet, but did not have a mavericks startup disk. downloaded Mavericks again and then tried to creatie a startpunt disk. did not work as mavericks immediately started with the installation.
    Got the original Mac os X cd from the person I brought the iMac from, but now found that I cannot use the CMD r option. then my Mac opens with a grey screen, a lock and only allow a password input.
    None of the startup options (eg d) are working anymore and or end up in the grey startup screen asking a password or just ingenomen the request and starts the Mac and is fully operational without full access to the systeem functions (as these require the systeem password which I forgotten). However my Mac still starts and I use mail and internet Ans all other installed programs. but I cannot create an account as I do not know the sys adm. password.
    When using terminal and give the command mountain -uw / I receive the reply:
    GetMasterBlock: Error 13 opening /dec/rdisk0s2
    mount-hfs: Operation not permitted.
    CAn somebody help me how to reset my system, even if this means I loose all data? I bought all software in the iStore, so asume I can re-install it anyway.

    Ask the person you bought it from for the firmware password and supply that into the box. You'll then be able to use the Option key shortcut and can get into the recovery partition to reset the administrator password.

  • I bought an iphone 4s from someone and i dont know password of his Apple ID and i need to update the apps on my new iphone i need a solution please

    i bought an iphone 4s from someone and i dont know password of his Apple ID and i need to update the apps on my new iphone i need a solution please

    The only solution is to erase the apps and purchase them through your own iTunes Store account. You have no legal right to those apps - the license is not tranferrable - and cannot in any case update them without the orginal purchaser's Apple ID.

  • HT2155 when i try to install app and it prompts for password a apple id shows up from previous owner and i dont know password how do i switch it to my apple id?

    when i try to install app and it prompts for password a apple id shows up from previous owner and i dont know password how do i switch it to my apple id? ive restored the phone and my apple id is registered as mine on phone

    You don't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them & cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You need to purchase the app using your ID.

  • HT201304 I Have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do so i can restore factory settings

    i have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do to restore my factory settings?

    To remove a restrictions password you'll have to restore your phone as a new device without using your backup and start over.  Save as much of your data as you can first (import your photos & videos to your computer, email your notes to yourself of sync them to a supported program, back up your contacts such as by syncing them with iCloud, etc.), then follow this guide to restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • Droid 3  screen  locked and  cant  work

    i  have had this  droid for   sometime now.. and  today  screen  locked and  will not  work..  have tried in  safe mode... well that  is a  waste of time..
    so  anyone out there in  droid world  have any  ideas. i would love them ..

    hi Allied. i started to have the very same problem last week with my droid 3. Now my phone does not work at all. this seems to be an ongoing problem within the droid 3 community. i have read many people complaining of the same problems. it seems that Verizon is not acknowledging this wide spread issue. I'm looking to get a replacement but i do not want to get a refurbished droid 3 back because whatever the issue is not being fixed. i just want t know if their are any other phones that can be sent as a replacement instead of receiving another phone with issues?

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
