Touch ID Only, Pass Code Never Used, Locked Outl

I set up Touch ID as my only pass code. I'm certain because I just opened it new, out of the box, a few days ago. It has never been synced with a computer. Now I'm locked out due to my 9-year old not knowing it could only be accessed with Touch ID. It wants a pass code I NEVER set up. What do I do? Any info is greatly appreciated.

You cannot set up only Touch ID. You are required to set up a passcode when you set up Touch ID because if it cannot read your fingerprint, it will require the backup password after three touch ID attempts. It also requires the backup password after you have restarted your device or restored it. If you cannot remember your passcode you can follow the instructions in the link below that best apply to your situation:

FYI, from the Apple Support Touch ID set-up article:
Set up Touch ID
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.

  • My ex has my iPhone 4. I loaned it to her, now she's keeping it and has her pass code on the lock screen. I froze the acct with Bell, but want to remote wipe the phone. Not sure if she has iCloud on but she might have Find My IPhone on. Advice to wipe?

    Help... My ex has my iPhone 4 that I lent her. I kept the phone on my Cell phone service provider because of her bad credit. She turned out to be quite the lunatic, and it took the police to get her out of my home. What a nightmare. She still has my phone with her own pass code on the lock screen. I froze the service provider acct, so she can't call with it or use data unless she gets her own account. However she can still access many of my contacts I left on there. She also gets apps that I download onto my iPhone 5. She can't download apps herself because she has no apple account. Mine is still on there. She doesn't know my password. She does still get copies of my apps though. I tried to stop that when we were still together in a relationship but didn't succeed. Do I need to creat a new apple account, or just change the account name to stop her from getting the apps? Can I remote wipe the phone if the iCloud functions are set to off on that phone, but maybe the Find My IPhone is still turned on? She has mental disorders and a mean streak. Does anyone have advice or ideas???

    Apparently "find my iPhone" won't work unless I restart her cell service, which I can easily do. I think she might  need her phone powered on too for me to trace it and wipe it. She forgot her charger here and has no service on it, so won't have it on much. Maybe I can change my Apple ID altogether? As long as the new Apple ID doesn't somehow automatically go to her phone.

  • I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

    Please help me!! I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

    If you are sure that you are entering the correct password, then this sounds like an iPhone issue, so your best bet will be to post in the iPhone Support Community so that the experts over there can help.

  • Apps locked / frozen and on going to setting and rest it asks for pass code. Use standard one that I use all the time and it states 1 failed attempt. I have not forgotten pass ode as I use it 20 times a day. Over 70 years of age so make the response simpl

    The 3 apps required updating but they have frozen. Did not realise this until Candy Crush froze. Went to reset and it asked for pass code. I entered standard code and it stated one failed attempt. I may be over 70 years of age but have not forgotten pass code!! I hope that the solution is simple!!

    If your iPad was used by another person in the past, it may be asking for their passcode.
    If your iPad has been synced with a computer before, restoring with your computer should fix it now.
    Read all directions.
    Per these directions...

  • SD card is suddenly read only (and it never used to be before).

    I'm not tech-svvy at all, so I'll try to be as detailed as I can with my problem and hopefully some patient soul will be able to give me some step by step instructions on how to fix this haha.
    I've had my MacBook Pro for about a year now and I haven't had a problem with transfering photos from my phone and camera onto it. My camera has an SD card and my phone has a Micro SD.
    As of a few days ago, I've noticed that when I insert my SD card into the slot, there's an icon to the top left side of the window when I open it that never used to be there. It kind of looks like a pencil with a line going through it, but it still let me transfer photos to my computer, so I didn't think anything of it.
    When I tried to transfer photos from my phone's Micro SD, it does the same thing. I can still transfer pictures to the computer without a problem.
    The issue becomes when I want to transfer photos from my computer to the card for my camera or the one for my phone. I've tried to look through similar questions on here and elsewhere on the internet, but all I've been able to gather is that the little pencil with a line through it means my cards are in "Read Only" mode as opposed to the "Read and Write" that they should be in.
    I don't recall making any changes to any sort of settings on this computer and I haven't had any recent updates to the software.
    Also, none of the cards are locked. I know there's a little swtich to the side of them that manually makes them read only, but I never touch them and they're always 'unlocked' as it were.
    Can anyone guide me through getting these settings back to the way they were?
    (Since I'm technologically illiterate, I have no idea what operating system I'm on, so I apologize if this is an important factor in helping me.)

    The contact inside the SD card slot could be dirty. you can try to clean them by shutting the system down, get some electrical contact cleaner and put a small amount on the SD card contacts and push it in and out a few times. Let it dry for a few minutes (most of these type contact cleaners alcohol based and dry fairly fast) and power up the system. See if the cards are now Read+Write.
    Also check the cards to see if the little switch hasn't been pushed into the Lock setting.
    Even though these card may work in your camera and or phone they may be at the end of there life cycle. Try a NEW card and see if that makes a difference.
    As a last resort you can always buy a external card reader and connect it to a USB port.Some SD cards come with a small SD card reader that plugs directly into a USB port. The only problem I've had with them is that some of them do not go in all the way on MBPs. The case of the MBP stops them from inserting all the way and or if you have something else plugged in to the other USB port there isn't enough room, right to left, to insert another device. Or you could spend some more money and have Apple Care fix it, that is if none of the above work.
    Good Luck.

  • Pass code (I am locked out)

    How do I get by my pass code in iphone 4s?I always set it the same so I dont know how it is not opening.I have to believe there are people who set it when drinking that  dont remember setting  their code. I dont drink so at least they have an excuse.Help!

    Good afternoon timfrommn.
    I'm hoping you've been able to unlock your iPhone by now, as I cannot imagine being locked out for so long.  Sadly, our phones have become such a huge necessity.  In case you're still locked out, you can unclock the phone by holding down the Home key while the device is plugged into iTunes on your PC.  You will then be allowed to override the password via Sync or Restore. If you Restore, you will be able to reset your password, which is your best option.
    If you still need assistance, please send me a Direct Message, and I will be happy to personally follow up with you.
    Thank you,

  • HT1212 While setting up using my home Wi-Fi I followed the direction on the screen, put in my Apple ID and password,& pass code that would lock my phone, now that it's activated I can't unlock it with the pass code! What do I do now?

    I  contacted my service provider and they told me to codec my iPhone to iTines on a computer, and follow the direction to set my hone back to the factory settings, I have nothing on it yet so I tried this,  the iTunes Icon comes up with a lock under it. The phone vibrates part way through the process and still won't unlock. Now what do I do?

    Sorry I didn't mean to hit the other button!   But I did that suggestion three different times yesterday and it didn't seem to work!  Still locked out of my phone! And when I turned it on just now it did the same thing, ( vibrated and wouldn't unlock)!  Only this time it told me to connect to iTunes!  But last night when I did this iTunes had a lock on it!
