    i have forgotten my passcode to my ipod how di i find it?

    You can't. You'll need to connect your iPod to iTunes and restore it. If iTunes asks you for the passcode, place the iPod into recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • HT1212 i have forgotten my passcode for my ipod,i dont have access to a computer and i dont want to erase all my data off it because i recently went on a school trip to malta and have all my pictures from there on it...any suggestions?

    any suggestions????? please!!

    If you haven't backed up /imported the photos, it's most likely you can't access that data. Passwords/code are made for security, remember them in the future.
    You could try importing photos using
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    You can use
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
      to restore the device, but everything that hasn't been backed up(purchases excluded) will be lost.
    After restoring, you can redownload your purchases using this:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good luck

    My phone is disabled and I have forgotten my passcode, need help unlocking my phone

    If you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), then it has the Activation Lock on it and I believe you'll have to erase the device through iCloud first:

    You can then restore it:

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."

    I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is asking passcode to be entered - even after following directions for computers not synced... multiple times, but iTunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."  What do I do now?

    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Plug the iPhone into the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock is from the original computer?

    If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock the phone to connect to the original computer? Is there no way to connect to itunes? HELP!

    Restoring as a new device means you will loose everything.  You can restore from a backup, but if that backup includes the same passcode you cannot remember now, then it will just put it back in place and you will be right back where you are.  If the backup does NOT include the passcode currently on the device, you can restore from that backup.
    If restoring as new, you will loose any pictures in camera roll not already saved somewhere else (like your computer).  You will loose any contacts also not already saved somewhere else.
    Once you've restored the iPhone though, you can re-sync the contacts and other content from your backup copies on your computer.  iTunes and App store content can always be redownloaded.
