Sold my iPhone, and need to wipe clean without Restrictions Passcode

I sold my iPhone 5s on ebay and need to wipe it completely clean, including from my icloud. I tried to go to Settings> General> Reset> Erase All Content and Settings, but doing this requires my Restrictions Passcode which I forgot over a year ago. Is there a way to wipe it clean without my restrictions passcode, and make it like new for the new owner?
Also- it is no longer serviced by my phone carrier (AT&T).

After you erase it in iCloud, delete it from FindMyiPhone in iCloud.

  • ICloud password works on everything but erasing all data. I got a new iPhone and need to wipe this one but am not sure how else to do this since the password is not working. Any suggestions?

    Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
    By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
    You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
    Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
    The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].

  • I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he cannot use my phone without my apple id and password.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sent it.can he run up a bill using my id?cheers.

    I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he needs my id and password to use it.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sold it but wanted to know if he could run up a bill even though i no longer have an account with my phone provider?

    You did not follow the proper procedure when selling the phone before resetting it to factory settings. You must help the new owner deactivate the Activation Lock or else he will have the same issue over and over when he upgrades the software or sells it to someone else.

    iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
    Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
    NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

    Did you erase it before you sold it?
    Settings> General > Reset - Erase all content & settings.
    Or did you leave all your personal info on it and give it to someone else?

  • I have just bought a 2nd hand MacBook pro and need to wipe the previous owners details. How do I do that?

    Hiya, so I've got this old MacBook Pro and need to wipe the admin user but have no password to work with. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to get rid of her and set myself up please? Thanks.

    You will need the original Tiger installation disks.  Insert the install disk, open Disk Utility from the UTILITIES menu, erase the HDD and inatall the OSX.  That will create your own Apple ID.  The second option is to use a retail Leopard or Snow Leopard disk instead, but they do not come with all of the applications.

  • I sold my iphone and my ipad but i received an email stating my icloud renewal will be charged on sept 20. how do i stop this without the devices?

    How do i top my renewal for icloud storage? I have sold my iphone and ipad.

    If you have a Mac, sign into System Preferences>iCloud with your iCloud login if not already signed in. If you have Windows, download the iCloud Control Panel and sign in if not already done so. Then follow the relevant instructions here:
    iCloud: Downgrade your iCloud storage
    If for any reason you are unable to do this, try contacting iTunes Store support: go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.
    Failing all this, open the iTunes Store in iTunes, click 'Account' in the Quick Links on the right, then click 'Edit' next to 'Payment method' and remove your credit card.

  • I no longer have my iphone and need to turn imessage off

    i no longer own an iphone and need to turn imessage off but i no longer have the phone at all so i cant turn it off myself

    If youv'e ever called them they should have it on file. If you haven't call your carrier first and tell them that you need imessage turned off but don't have the imei number for the old iphone and ask if they still have it. Once you get it you can call apple and give them that number or have your carrier just route you straight to them.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up    
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store    
    You can also Google for YouTube videos that show how to do it

  • I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music.

    I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music. How do I do this? The new phone is a 5.

    All purchases are always going to be associated to the ID that was used to purchase/download them.
    If you create an ID for your daughter you will want to check everywhere it is used to make sure you are not sharing messages and stuff. These would be iTunes/app store, iCloud, iMessages, and FaceTime.
    Go thru settings and find all mention of your ID.
