Too many wrong password entries?

Hi people.
My brother has forgotten his ipod password and has entered too many incorrect tries.
The message that comes up is in red background that says "iPod is disabled connect to itunes".
But when I connect to itunes it says that it needs a passcode, but hes forgotten his passcode.
He hasn't used it for afew weeks thats why hes forgotten his passcode.
And also doesn't know which laptop he synced it with last.
Does anyone know of anything I can do???
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks guys.

After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

HT1212 ipod touch disabled due to too many incorrect password attempts - problem is I know the password

My daughter's ipod touch is locked due to too many incorrect password attempts (thanks to her little brother). It is displaying the red bar that states ipod is disabled connect to itunes. Problem is we don't have the computer that the ipod was originally synced with and she doesn't want to reset the ipod. In this instance we know the password.. so is there anyway to get the ipod to ask us one more time to enter the password? I'm not sure how many incorrect attempts were made, but it doesn't state anything about try again in so many minutes.. help, please!

No. Start with the last paragraph of:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

James5wins, you do not have to restore as new. Restoring from backup does NOT restore the screen-lock passcode.

How to check 3 consecutive wrong password entries

Hi to All,
I'm new to jsp. I've created a login page using
String user = request.getParameter("username");
String pwd = request.getParameter("pass");
String query = "select * from userinfo where username='" + user + "' and pass='" + pwd + "'";It's working fine. Now assuming that when the user enters the wrong password for 3 consecutive time means the username should be locked in the database. My table fields are username and password.
How can i do this. Plese suggest me an idea.
Thanks in Advance.

Why not using a 'locked_until' date column in the DB?
In the 'business bean' you simple count 'login_attempts' and if too may failed logins you lock the user in the DB.
Example:
If login_attempts>3 then
- execute: "update user set locked_until = sysdate + 1/(24*4) where username = ?"
- reset login_attempts
- show warning: "you cannot login for 15 minutes"
Just my 2 cents...

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form. There's also a link to do so in the Additional Information section of the article you asked this question from.

HT201413 my phone is disabled too many failed password attempts and i cant connect to itunes it says my phone is password locked and have to enter password to continue

im having trouble getting into my phone my phone is disabled have to connect to itunes but i get a error message sayin put in password to continue but i can get to the screen to enter it

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Tab in Mail goes to too many wrong places in SL

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.1, if I tab down from the To field to get into the message area, the tab first tabs/stops at each and every box in the bar there between the Subject field and the Message field (Customize, From, SMTP, and Signature).
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Is this some option I can turn off?
